SnOW... Not in October

This post is for those of you who don't live in Bear Lake, how lucky are you!

This is what we woke up to Saturday morning, and then by that night. This is what we had.

Then on Sunday morning we had a few more inches, but it was too cold to put my shoes on and go out there and measure it again. Just take my word for it. The snow wouldn't be as bad(it's still pretty bad) if we had our grain cut, but WE DON'T. Good thing we have a grain dryer. And we aren't the only ones that don't have it cut, so that makes me feel a little better. But hopefully it melts next week or it's going to be a looonng MISERABLE winter. So we tried to make the most out of it, Gracey has been out sleigh riding a couple of times already. You can NEVER rely on Bear Lake weather.

Our Newest Employee!

Yesterday I had been out helping Jaren with a car he was working on, then the phone rang so I went inside. When I came back outside Gracey was in the car turning it over to try and start it while Jaren was under the hood trying to see why it wouldn't start. Jaren had pushed a screwdriver through the key hole so all Gracey had to do was turn the screwdriver. What's next? driving a car when she's five. Jaren said he learned how to drive when he was five. I guess your never too young to learn anything!

New Business!

This is our business flyer that will come out on Wednesday in the Montpelier newspaper. Jaren is really excited about starting his own business, he has always wanted to do this. I hope that it works out for him. Starting up your own business is taking a big leap of faith, you just don't know if it's going to work out the way you planned out in your mind. Jaren is very optimistic, I am trying to be. I am a kindof person that likes to know things and how they are going to end up, how much money and when. I don't just fly by the seat of my pants and hope it will work itself out. Anyway so if any of you need something fixed please call Jaren, he is really good at what he does. We are just going to do it out of our garage until we get things up and going. And also we are very inexpensive compared to the other shops around here.Wish us luck!

1st day of preschool!

Today was Gracey's first day of preschool. She was pretty excited up until a couple of days ago when I told her that she needed to start going to bed early and waking up earlier, then she wasn't excited anymore. Which I don't blame her because I like to sleep in too. But I am excited to get on a schedule for the first time in my life. She wasn't scared when we got there the teacher had a quick orientation and then I left and she wasn't sad at all. And I didn't even cry. When I picked her up she was really excited about it. I asked her what she did and she said" I learned about a flag and we learned words to the flag," I figured out that she learned the pledge of allegiance. Then she said she colored and that was all I could get out of her. So I think it will be a good experience for her.

Happy Bithday Gracey!

I can not believe Gracey is 4 already. She is growing up so fast. She had a great birthday. Wednesday we had a little party with her friends and played some games. Then on saturday 4 sets of Grandparents came over and had dinner. I just want to tell all the Grandparents how thankful I am for them and how much it means for me for them to travel all the way over here for a birthday party! It was great.

Joys of living in the mountains!

I was on my way to paris today and this is what I came across. I took the picture with my phone and then later realized I had my good camera in the car, I was a little mad 'cause I could've got a better picture but all well. Anyway, I kept driving and a little bit down the road was a cow(mommy moose) and a calf(baby moose) running down the road, I wasn't able to get a picture of them though. If you lived in the city you wouldn't be able to enjoy these beautiful sites. Well I take that back I got an email once of a herd of elk in a subdivision in a town somewhere, but that is very unlikely.

More craft projects

These are all the recent projects I have done. I am going to redo the other project posts and arrange them so they are in seperate categories in my blog archive, so you can go there and look at them.

Friends!

I just thought this picture was cute, so I put it on here. I babysat Hayden(Keetch)Neal's kid's the other day and they were all sitting on the couch watching a movie and looking so cute so I had to take a picture.

What a Guy!

We were going somewhere and of course I had to hurry and paint my toenails before we went because they looked bad and I was wearing sandals, and both of the girls saw me(sometimes I try to do it when they aren't looking when I am in a hurry), and said they wanted theirs painted. So I hurry and painted Brooklyn's and told Gracey that Dad would have to do it because we were in a hurry. Well painting nails must be another woman thing because there was more nail polish on her toe than on her toenail. He's going to have to get used to it because I think we are going to have all girls. I have tried to get him to do the girls' hair but he tries and then quits, which for the girls' sake I am glad he does. We will have to practice on that one. He's the greatest!!
