Why?...

Why? Why did I quit blogging? What was my purpose in posting here? 

I was originally using this as a way to keep up with others. But then Facebook came along. Talk about instant posting and instant "keeping up with the Jones'" 

But then I printed my blog. When the book came in the mail I sat down to thumb through it and realized it had chronicled the last 6 years of our life. I am not the type to print up all the pictures I take, nor am I going to make crafty books with those pictures. But by blogging I had done just that! 

So why I am going back to blogging? So I can quickly post what we are doing, then print it and have that cutesy picture book of our life. :-)

Yep, I am a bad mom...I have failed to take any new pictures of my kids! So here are some recent ones of the animals.

My pretty BlueBelle

 Ed and Travis telling secrets. These 2 are really good buddies. As a side note...still waiting for lamb babies!

I am alive!!!

Can you believe it? I am still alive. Busy as ever but still alive! :)
Wilfred took  a new job and has been gone more than he has been home. Wilfred and I both had elk hunts this fall...neither of us were successful.
Kaleb turned 3, then Clayton turned 8, Lindsy followed turning 6, and Joel brought up the birthday rear turning 2 in December!
Did I mention being Busy?
Oh don't let me forget, I had my gallbladder removed just days before it would have ruptured. I am feeling like a whole new person since then!
We also have started a sheep adventure....I bought 3 pregnant ewes and we are anxiously waiting for babies.
I also bought a sweet little blue roan horse.....Like I needed more to do!
She is great with the kids and even better for me. Now we are waiting for snow to melt away and my broken wrist and thumb to heal so we can get back in the saddle!
Last but not least...I am also worm farming. Weird I know!
