Raegan strikes again!

It's been quite a while since I've done a Raegan post.  Well, she was on a roll the other day. Unfortunately, I only got pictures of one of the mischievious deeds from that day.

We had gone to the store the day before and somehow she talked us into buying some purple fingernail polish.  Purple is her color of choice these days.  I, being the ding-dong I am, put the polish on the counter instead of locking it away in a safe.

When she came downstairs with her hands and feet painted purple, we knew things were not good.

We went upstairs to find this mess.  Fortunately since it was pretty fresh, it came of fairly easily. I'm just glad it was in the kitchen on the tile and not in her bedroom on the carpet or somewhere like that.

What a little stinker we are raising!

 

My Christmas Present

I got a new bed and headboard for Christmas. Ryan made it himself. Didn't he do an awesome job!  It is sooooo much better than what we had before and it makes the room look so much bigger and less cluttered.

Now he has to build me a matching bookcase and chest of drawers to go with it, but those will happen at a later date. 

I sure love our new bed!

2 1/2 weeks left

I've had several people tell me lately that I need to post some belly shots.

As much as I don't like pictures of myself when I am pregnant, I can't feel too bad about looking like this with 2 1/2 weeks left. I haven't gotten very big with this pregnancy at all, which is fine with me.

Dr says all looks good. The baby is growing and heartbeat sounds wonderful.  Can't wait to meet this little one.

Martin's Cove

In October, while the kids were out for Spud Harvest, we were able to take a trip to Casper Wyoming to visit Ryan's brother.  We drug the trailer over there and stopped on the way at Martin's Cove.  It was so neat to learn about the handcart pioneers and their struggles. The kids enjoyed pulling their own handcarts around the little pioneer park.  We went to the actual cove and the next morning hiked out to Devil's Gate.  It was a neat experience for all of us.

The next day, we got to Casper and went to the Interpretive Center where the kids got to ride in a covered wagon, again pull a handcart to see if they would have made it to the Salt Lake Valley and several other activities.

Then we spent a couple of days with Ryan's brother and his family. It was good to see them and spend some time with them.  Unfortuneately I didn't remember to pull my camera out while there so I didn't get any pictures of them.

It was a fun trip and we are so glad that we got to go.

The Big Hunt

 Ryan went hunting a couple of times in November. The weather was too nice the first time they went out, but the 2nd time and 3rd time, it was a different story. There was snow and they were able to get their elk for the year.

A few days later, he got his deer. We were lucky this year and now have plenty of meat filling our freezer. It sure is good stuff too.

We decided to save some money by cutting the elk up ourselves. Let me tell you, that was something I'd never experienced before.  It took about 3 full days to do 5 elk. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting though so that was good.

Kaylee is very excited to get to hunt next year after seeing what her dad brought home. He's pretty happy about that because hunting has been such a big part of his life.

First Snow

We had such a beautiful summer and fall and then all of a sudden we got a snowstorm in the first part of November. The snow didn't disappear like it usually would. Then we got a huge storm towards the end of November. The kids actually had 2 snow days the week of Thanksgiving because of it. It was crazy! The kids sure enjoyed it. The cat, not so much.

Bo's tooth

Bo lost a tooth at school and was so excited. He was given a little treasure box to keep it in.
