New Vehicle

Last but not least Matt and I just purchased a new to us but used vehicle. It was a private sale that worked out great for us. I will put pictures up when I get some but it's not even at our house yet. We bought a 2002 Trailblazer. We are excited about it since we knew we needed something with a baby on the way. My two door car that I have been driving for almost 10years just wasn't going to do the trick with having a family.

Working on the barn

As most of you know we have been working on our house as much as possible and we rebuilt a barn last year. The barn has been sitting there with a roof on it but no metal on the sides. This last week my dad replaced his shop roof and gave us the metal that was on his. Matt of course was very grateful and those of you who know him know that the minute the metal got to our house he was outside working on it. I am pretty sure he had the barn done within a week. I will get some updated pictures to show here soon. He built doors and got everything closed in. Hopefully this winter we won't have to deal with the snow drifts inside the barn and our hay ruined like we did last year. We want to say a big THANK YOU to our brother in law Rich and Matt's best friend Aaron for coming and helping. They worked in the pouring down rain. By the way Rich you looked great in my pink tool belt!

Our Family is Growing

Yes, Yes you are reading that right. Matt and I are very excited to share that we are adding to our family. This time we are not adding another dog but a baby! I think we went through every emotion when we found out but excitement was defiantly what we felt most. So, this is not the normal story of someone finding out they are pregnant. It was a Sunday morning Aug 9 when Matt comes into the bedroom. You can tell he has been up thinking for a little while and of course I am still laying in bed. He walks in and tells me to take a pregnancy test. He tells me that I am a week late and I am thinking he is crazy to know when I should start and besides that I think I am suppose to start the next Monday. I waited for Matt to go back outside, take a test and jump back in bed. I waited for him to come back in and then ask him how he feels if it's negative and then positive. Once he tells me I tell him he's going to be a Daddy. I think we were both in shock a little but very excited. We decided that we wanted to keep it a secret until we hit the 3 month mark and we did. The only person who had to find out two weeks before that is my Mom since she had planned a cruise in April and that is when I am due. I need my Mom there so I had to ask her to cancel her trip. She of course said no problem and that she wouldn't miss this for anything. So at the three month mark we told our secret to family and friends and here I am on week 15. I know I have a long way to go but am finally at the point where I am feeling pretty good again. I am pretty lucky and though I felt like throwing up I never did. The hardest part is that I was sooooo tired all the time. Our due date is around April 15 and so far on all my ultra sounds the baby is moving like crazy. I think it might get the energy of Matt which scares me a little bit. I can't wait to get to feeling it moving since I have to say it's kind of crazy knowing you are pregnancy but not feeling anything and having to wait a month between each time I see it's there and moving. Keep us in your prayers that everything goes well for us. We have a lot to get done before the little one gets here. We hope you are all as excited as we are. I will try and keep you updated on everything through out the next several months.

Ellensburg Rodeo

Okay once again I am way behind on my blogging. I really need to get better about this or set some time aside to actually keep it updated. So for this blog I am going to go back to the beginning of September. Matt and I went to Ellensburg Rodeo with my parents. We drove my dad's truck over while my parents were in the motor home. We had a great time and even kept our spirits up when it decided to rain through the whole rodeo. Luckily my dad was thinking and went and got us all rain gear before he left for the East side of the mountain.

You should have seen how many people cleared out of the stands and there we sat. It was cold but we were dry and loving it. Saturday night we had tickets for extreme bulls. If you are ever at the rodeo defiantly go to extreme bulls. It's some of the top bull riders riding for large amounts of money.

A quick picture of my hottie husband and me before heading to the finals rodeo.

My parents brought their moped to ride since they were staying a day later then us. Though the weather was not the best we couldn't bring the moped and not ride it. Of course once we went to start it, it wouldn't start. It would drive my Dad crazy if he didn't fix it so Matt and Dad sat there working on it for awhile and when they were done, it worked.

We had a great time at the rodeo with some great seats. You could see the guys getting ready in the chutes from where we were. They have some of the top bulls there, and once you are close up it's amazing how big these bulls are. Thank you to my parents for inviting us!
