Missing you!

I am sitting here very lonely tonight. It is Friday night and I have no where to go. My sweet husband is hunting with my brother. Don't get me wrong I am very glad he is able to go. He loves to be in the mountains. I just miss him. I don't realize how much I do until he is gone for a few days. I just like his company.

I have been reading various blogs and I have realized I don't capture enough of my childrens funny, sad, mad moments. I need to slow down and enjoy where I am at today. Life goes by too quickly and if I don't stop and take a break I am going to miss my childrens childhood. One day I am going to miss all of the messes all over the house (marker on the wall, pee on the toilet and floor, toys everywhere).

I saw my friends sweet baby boy today and it made me think maybe I do need another little one in the house. Who knows, I guess time will tell.

I am going to try harder to just sit down and play with my sweet children. That is the highlight of their day. I can do it. My goal is to enjoy lifes little moments. Housework and yardwork can wait another day!

New Haircut

Well, I was sick of my hair one day and decided to chop it off. Everyone has been bugging me to see it, so here it is. I don't know if it was a good or bad decision. But the good thing is, hair grows. Have a great day.
Before

Family time

Today we had an easy going Saturday which was kind of nice for a change. Taiylor and I have been redoing her room and she got bunkbeds so we put those together and got her room all situated. I will post pictures later. It turned out really cute. My washing machine died this week so we are in the process of trying to buy a new one. I haven't done laundry in almost a week. It has been nice but when my new washer gets here it is going to have to do overtime.

Jared and the kids and I went out to the farm this evening to check on things. I love it when we are all together. I never imagined that I would live on a farm, especially a dairy, but it is such a good family life. So good for the kids. Trent fed all the calves grain by himself and Taiylor helped her dad throw straw in the calf hutches while Emma and I drove the loader with the straw. It was so funny, those little calves were so excited to get new bedding. They were jumping all over the place. I was watching Taiylor and I could tell she wanted to impress her daddy by helping him. She is such a good girl. All my kids are. I love it that they can be around their dad all day. It is going to be a sad day when Trenton goes to school and isn't following his dad or Papa around. When the vet comes out and Trent isn't with Jared, they ask where he is because he is usually in tow. Today him and Taiylor were playing and I saw him go outside in his swim trunks, cowboy boots and his coonskin hat. I should have gotten a picture.

Emma has her own baby calf that she runs to every day. It is so cute. She also loves going with her daddy. This is so much easier for me to document our life than a traditional journal. So mainly this blog is for me than anyone else. But I am glad others get to share in our life also.

Bubbles

So, I decided I would try harder to document a little bit about Trenton's mischief. The other day I hear Taiylor say,"Oh, no this is bad!" So, I went upstairs to Trent's room, of course, and found that he had dumped half of his soap bottle into his sink and put the plug in. His sink was overflowing with bubbles onto the floor. He had his bubble wand and looked like he was about to have a good time. A friend of mine asked me if I got really mad at him and I told her I didn't. I actually had to keep from laughing. Trent is just a very imaginative, mischievious boy. I have found that I have to pick my battles. We talked about the bubbles and he now knows what will happen when he plugs up his sick with water and bubbles.

Work in Progress

I decided to take some phots of Jared's work on the farm. Right now he is building a maternity shed, which will be so nice for him and the cows! We also got a new loader that the kids think is pretty awesome! Jared has done so many improvements since we have been back on the farm. He really loves what he does.

Motherhood

What is Motherhood? I have been thinking about motherhood lately and have decided that it IS a lot of work. Everything I do every day is for my kids and husband. These last couple of weeks have been especially difficult. Emma was sick with the flu for about a week, and now Taiylor is sick. Taiylor has been sick with a bad virus and stomach pains for 5 1/2 days now. She looks so pitiful. She is having a hard time fighting this one. I have been trying to do everything I can for her and I feel like I can't seem to do enough. From morning till night I am busy cleaning, cooking, chasing kids, cleaning kids, playing with kids, and so on. But you know I wouldn't trade it for anything. Trenton and Emma helped me today with yard work and they were having so much fun. Trenton even helped me clean toilets today. I am usually totally exhausted by the end of the day but it is the sweet moments when your kids tell you they love you that make it worth it.

On another note, my brother Spencer flew over our house today in his Apache helicopter. It was awesome. We were all outside and he flew about 500 ft above us. He is really talented. The kids think he is so cool to be able to fly a helicopter. He said he would fly over our house again, maybe I can get a picture then. We are so glad they are living in Boise again.

I just heard also that my other brother, Josh and his wife are moving to Boise also. I am so excited!

Emma LuJean Myers

Emma is 2 1/2 and so cute. I took these pictures before church. Her hair is getting so long and pretty. She is in love with her daddy. She wants to go with him everywhere. When he gets ready to go out to work, she will stand in front of the door and say, " no, wait." She is pretty much potty trained and loves her horsey panties. She is a very kind, sweet girl. She loves playing with her babies and being a little mommy. If we ever see a baby she is sure to point it out and go say hi to it. She still sucks her thumb and has her BB(her blanket). We love our little Emma.
