June- It doesn't matter how slow you go as long as you don't stop

June has been a slow month and long month. It started off with doing another Super Saturday activity with my ward again for the girls. They got to choose between an America Sign, an American flag or firecrackers. They were all super simple and cute! It was a lot easier to do this Super Saturday activity compared to the one I did in the winter time. It was not much work on my end this time! (P.S. that metal pan Mikal found in the ground with just a little corner sticking out. It is a pan from 1942 in California. He did some research and it was a food tray)



Mikal is always fixing things. His tie-rods on his pick-up have been giving us problems with his steering and since we bought new tires in January, we didn't want to throw all that money away. He worked on his pick-up for probably about a week and a half. It was a long and frustrating time for him.

We also get to starting taking Sage to the river more and more and Mikal enjoys fishing while she runs around in the water. We usually go to the Teton River at Eagle Park in Rexburg because it is only a few miles from our house behind the fairgrounds. It is a nice little park. We also like to go to Warm Slough on the Snake River. It is a lot slower than the Teton right now and little bit warmer. We truly love the water!



We were also traveling back from Idaho Falls and it started to snow the end of June! It was actually sticking to the road and there we accidents on the freeway. There is the East Idaho weather for you! This is the second time that I have been here that it has snowed in June! It has been a pretty cool summer so far with LOTS of rain. I have never seen so much rain before in the springtime!

We have decided as well that we are going to stay here in Rexburg a little while longer. We have put an offer in on a house! The house is out in Sugar City and we are needing a bigger place for a shop so we have more room for Edgy Barnwood to grow. Our garage we have right now, is just too small. We have no room to leave a project up. It is always put up, take down, put up, take down.This place we are looking at is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath and has a two car garage and plenty of room for us to eventually build a small shop! It is pretty nice inside and does not need much work on it. Just carpet and flooring replaced and the walls in the living room. They are the sticky-out plaster walls that are EVIL! Haha! The only thing I am sad that it does not have is a downstairs, but it is on 3/4 of an acre. The house is on a reverse mortgage (short sale) but it is for sure taking a lot longer than we would like! We have been working on the paper work and the mortgage for 3 weeks now. We are hoping to hear back soon!

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...
