Harvest time

This past week, Mikal and I were able to go back to Washington and visit the family farm. We got to help with apple harvest and eat fresh apples off the trees! I love me a cold, crisp apple! It was so nice to get away and take walks in the morning with Sage and be out on the farm. She sure is growing up fast! She loves to be at the farm since she can wander anywhere she pleases, but stays close enough that when we call, she comes running back. Such a good pup she is! She loves hunting bunnies we found out and she was so excited she was prancing around with this bunny in her mouth!

Mikal also went down to the river a couple times with my dad to go salmon fishing. That is his favorite thing to do while we are there. He sure does miss fishing and working with my dad a lot!


I helped with apple harvest by leveling the bins. It was so great to be able to do actual labor work instead of sitting at a desk! I went out to visit my old stomping grounds (potato harvest) and loved visiting with the people I used to work with out in the fields. I sure do miss that time in the fields!

We brought back apples to Rexburg this past week to sell and use the money to pay for Mikal's schooling. We are so thankful for my dad in letting us take some apples back! They are the BEST apples ever!

Month 7- Harvest time

Image
Dean started off the month of October sleeping a lot better than the month of September. Instead of 2-3 hour stretches, we got 4-5! He has now started acknowledging his name when you say it.  Mikal bought Dean a cute little red ball cap. It is so cute on him! I also got to put him in his little hunting outfits. I love me some red buffalo plaid!     We met my cousin Carmen and her family at the Middleton Fall Festival. It was fun to take Wesley and enjoy so time outside of the house! Dean played in the corn pit and had a blast feeling the corn and picking it up- we also went again later in the month with Joseph, Melissa, Oliver & Jane. I spent lots of time making/picking grapes to juice. Dean was very impatient at times and other times very patient with me! Dean went on a couple tractor rides in the sprayer with Dad. He loved it so much it put him to sleep. Mikal also went fishing a bunch and hunting as well. He ended up shooting a small buck. Dean is starting to...

Birth of Baby Dean

Image
March 24th - Sunday night at 8 pm we headed into Madison Memorial Hospital to start the induction. I was still only dilated a fingertip. They put a small cervidil in me to soften my cervix. It was not comfortable and I was given half an ambien to help with the pain and sleep, but I was not able to sleep at all that night. I tossed and turned all night long and had to get up and go to the bathroom every hour. March 25th- Around 6 am, Monday March 25th, they got me a piece of toast and that was all I could eat until after the baby was born. They took out the cervidil and started me on Pitocin and broke my water. I was exhausted. I was still in pain, but not as bad after getting that cervidil out. Around 10:00 am, they came in a checked me and I was dilated 1 cm. They told me that he probably would not be born until Tuesday, March 26th. My heart dropped. I did not want to wait that long to have this little boy. They asked me if I wanted the epidural and I said not yet. I took the p...

Thankful--Grateful--Blessed🍗

Image
This past couple weeks have been some crazy ones to take in. I have been working on tons of projects in the garage and building a lot for others. Here are a couple of my latest: Thanksgiving week was just around the corner, as was my birthday. On Tuesday we went out to eat at Red Robin so I could get my free burger like I get every year. That is all we did. Nothing special. I did get a phone call from my sister Kira calling to keep little Everett who is 5 months in our prayers. He was have some unusual bruising on his left eye. They had gone to a specialist and was told if it got worse to head to the hospital.  On Thanksgiving day, we went out to Mikal's parents house and had a big dinner. I brought some little penguins because I really like to have one of my little traditions brought to the table.  The day after Thanksgiving, we went out with the Terry family and Josh and Hailey's family as well to get a Christmas tree. We drove up Kelly Canyon a...
