SPRING!!

It has been forever since I posted last mostly because I haven't had internet until lately. Michael and I have moved in front of Hoffman AI. So we now officially live in a barn. Which is fun, we have also acquired some new animals to play with and take care of. However, unfortunately we lost one as well. Dice was hit on the highway, her leg was broken severely along with a fractured hip. With a lot of prayer and heartache we had the vet put her down and she is now buried in a field behind Hoffmans. I think I've cried at least once a week since we put her down, so here is hoping our dogs are waiting for us in heaven. Who knows she might be able to listen to us there.


We welcomed two new additions into the family since Stella and Rocky. Michael has claimed Stella as his dog and I've claimed Rocky. (Rocky is the lighter dog in the bathtub and Stella is darker and also the one on the bed). They love drinking out of the bathtub and will jump in even while we are showering to lick up what they can. Rocky is the bigger cuddle bug he loves to get in bed with me and lay with me until I wake up.

I've also claimed a cat that lives in the barn outside our back door. I've decided to call her Princess Buttercup, she only response to Kitty. She had four kittens three weeks ago already two of the kittens have been claimed by girls. However Buttercup has moved the kittens into the wall of the barn. So I can't see them until they decide to come out and explore the world. This is one of the cutest kittens. She usually waits for me outside of the back door, as long as I don't come out with a dog she'll rub up against my legs until I pick her up.

Life has been good Michael is hired by the Forest Service to watch over Logan Canyon and also the Wellsvilles so he will get to ride around in the mountains again this summer. I'm working at Wholesale Flooring and growing my garden again. I already have some flowers, spinach, Onions, and peas planted. The weather hasn't been very nice so only the onions are up and flourishing.

I have also of course been doing some crafting. The above picture of dice I was making drapes for Cora's room. Dice loved to lay on any fabric I was working on. Here are a few of the things I made for Cora. I can't wait to finally meet her.

I have started my own etsy shop, however time has had me limited on putting up my projects so once it is more full I'll announce where to find it:)

Michael and I have also received the calling to teach CTR 5 in the ward we have 12 kids in our class.. yep! We are learning rather quickly how to stay entertaining to them. We have also learned that the coloring activity at the end of the lesson is very important and we will not omit that in the future.
About 4 minutes before this picture was taken all three dogs had only one bone. If you can't tell Lilly is Queen.
