OuR NeW hOuSe!!!

Well boys and girls I am officially a home owner! I have never been so excited to be in debt in my whole life! lol :) Due to popular demand I have some pictures!!! Some of them are before we moved in and some are after because there are boxes everywhere still! We increased our living space by three bedrooms, we got a second bathroom, a garage plus a carport, and a front and back fenced yard for the puppies to run around in!! :)

Here goes!

Well folks that is all she wrote for now ! I will possibly post more pictures after everything is put away! We love our new house! It is only 87 dollars a month more than what we were paying in rent for 3 times the living space. Oh and did I mention that I have a GARAGE now ! Yeah way cool. No more cleaning off my car in the snow!

Substitutes

Ok kids! I promised Theron I would make this meat and potato's meal for him. (since he is nothing but a meat and potato's fellow) My mom sent me this recipe for meat and potato's in a crock pot. So I have been going to do this and going to do this for like a week now! Well today on my lunch I decided that I was going to do it. So I threw the frozen meat in the microwave(cooking modern style) and THEN decided to look at the recipe. LOL WELL I didn't have two of the ingredients! OOPS! SO It called for Worcestershire Sauce, but I don't just have that stuff handy. SO I just said well I will just put in some Soy Sauce, and just do less than the recipe calls for. Then I don't have Garlic Powder, just Garlic Salt. So I thought well whatever garlic is garlic. So now it is in the Crock Pot cooking and hopefully it tastes good in about 5 hours when we want to eat! I bought rolls last night at the store for a different meal, so I guess if it isn't good we can just eat store bought rolls. Those are safe right?!?!

Poor Theron!

Happy One Year Anniversary!

Wow!! I cannot believe it has been a whole year! We had a blast on our year anniversary trip! We went to the Anniversary Inn in Logan. It was so nice to get away for two days and have absolutely nothing to do. They brought Theron and I breakfast every morning and we stayed in two different rooms. The first night we stayed in the Mansion Suite. The second night we stayed in the Presidential Suite. Here are some cute pictures!!

I am so glad that I have my wonderful husband! He puts up with my craziness. I loved being home and seeing our friends and family. I wish we could have stayed in the hotel forever.

Now it is back to the grind!! :)

Hazards on the Ranch!

So this is a stand alone post pounder that Barr and I took out to do some fencing a few weeks ago. Well as we were driving down a hill the pounder slowly tipped to the side and fell on the fence we were working on. It's funny now but not so funny knowing I was standing on the tongue of the post pounder when it fell. Cool huh?!!!!

Fencing again just the other day and Tess the Gustafson's black lab starts to bark in the trees. Barr says "I bet that's a porcupine." Me, I didn't take the bet. I know her too well. 5 min later here she comes with 20 quills in her nose.



A couple weeks ago Owen (Barr and Colleen's son) asked me if I wanted to see some bear tracks. Of course I did. He led me about 100 yards from their house and I took a picture of this black bear track. This pasted Monday they told me that a Grizz broke into their grain and ate some corn just two days before. Ya they are looking for bear proof bins now!



The same day as Tess vs. Porcupine we found a track of a bear. They say if you can see the toe nails it is a grizz. I could see the toe nails, too bad my phone sucks! You can also see a deer track on top of the bear track to the right so it was a couple days old. I did find out that you don't send bear track pictures to mother in laws!!!!! :-)

My new Chinks!

My cute Hubby had his very talented brother made me some new chinks. They are way awesome! He thought that I looked out of place with my "show" horse on a cattle drive. So he had to rough me up some. I have never had any chinks before so I am excited to try them out! They have been all over facebook, and I had no idea they was mine. He was talking about how he was making them and everything.. YEAH me clueless. Had no idea! It was a nice surprise. Theron's dad and Trevor (his brother) brought a filly (two year old girl horse lol) up here and will be spending the rest of the week with us. Hopefully it will be a very successful week and a fun one! Thanks Trev!! and thanks Theron!















OH YEAH!! and who doesn't LOVE my new sexy camo slippers lol!! I do! totally awesome!

Drop to Down Pour

Well Theron and I were out at a family we have met up here's house last night. We were invited out to dinner, and I helped the kids with their 4-H fair horse patters. We were out riding and Owen (their son) said, I think we should go in.... And us all knowing adults said no... lets try your pattern one more time. So he didn't argue and did it again. Then he comes back and said lets go in. We again told him no and told his sister Greta to try her pattern. So she goes and does hers. Then we start to feel a few drops and we thought ok so we have a few minutes lets start to hustle and get in before we get wet... uh yeah NOT!!!! We felt like three drops at he most and then all of a sudden it was a down pour. It was raining so hard that we could not even see where we were going. Colleen and I were on the 4-wheeler and the arena is about 500 to 600 yards from their house and by the time we drove from the arena to the house I was sopping wet. I was literally able to ring water out of my clothes. We had not even eaten dinner yet..... So what do you do... say uh sorry were wet! lol

We go into their house and they offer us dry clothes. I felt so bad cause I wanted to change but then what do you do when you have to go home.. Take their clothes or change back into wet clothes... and we all know how impossible it is to put wet clothes on! yeah not happening. We ate dinner and talked and it ended up being a good night.

So food for thought... when someone says he I think we should go in.... I, personally, lol would go in!!

Clinic

This post is just for Brent!

The local 4-H club wanted me to give a Reining clinic for them ever since we moved up here. I have been excited and nervous since we had a planning meeting... Excited to make some money and nervous I would make myself look dumb!! Well the clinic was the 23rd and 24th of June. We went over the basics and then the second day was more Reining maneuvers.... I made 145 bucks but I had to pay 70 to the arena to rent it.. then two days after the clinic my mare needed new shoes and that was 65.... So with the ten bucks that is left I'm taking myself to McDonald's to get fat! There is a ton of pictures because Theron is camera happy ... :) but that's ok it makes for a good post!
