Huntington Canyon Hike

WOW - It's been a long time

Well, I have decided to go back to "blogging". We will see just how well I do! It has been two years since I last posted here. Hopefully within the next week or so I will get some updated pictures on all the changes in our lives.

In the last two years there have been ups and downs. We sold our home in Cleveland and are currently building a new home in Huntington. We hope to be in the new house within the next month.

Family

We haven't done too much over the winter. We keep tossing around the idea of putting a house out at the farm, or staying where we are. If the economy would get better, the decision would be much easier. Clint works so hard. He spends so much time at the farm and it doesn't matter how cold, windy, snowy, rainy it is. If there is work to be done, he is there doing it. Chase helps out a lot too but he also still has high school, work, rodeo, and a girlfriend (Samantha - Sam, we love ya). I try to help but most of my help just consists of helping with some of the feeding on the weekends which isn't much. Chase has chickens again and we are getting close to 25-30 eggs every day! We can't even sell as many as we get. The cows should be calving soon and the calves that we do have are almost ready to go to the sale. We are keeping two of them and one is so tame, she loves to get her head scratched. Cole has started bull riding again. He still works doing welding for a fabrication company. Bre and Carter are doing really well. I am so lucky that they live so close to us. It would be so hard for my kids to move very far away. Harlee, my sweet, beautiful, smart wonderful grand daughter. She is only two and knows her ABC's, can count almost to 20 and talks so that you can understand her. She can also entertain herself for quite a while with toys, books, crayons, etc. Harlee Hoo Hoo - Grandma and Grandpa love you. Zora, my sweet pom will be having surgery on April 2. She is having a couple of teeth removed, having her teeth cleaned and having one of her back knees fixed. That will be a hard day for us because she has to spend the night at the vets.

Update - Chase....

Yes, we all know I am bad at updating so the people that have given up on me won't see some of the new pic's and video's I have put on here.
In the last few months not a lot has changed but spring is almost here so there should be a lot more activity going on soon!!
In January, Chase went to a Sankey Bull Riding School in Ogden. WOW that was wonderful!! He learned so much and has so much work to do but he now has the knowledge to move forward. I hope that we can take him back next January again. I also learned a lot and think that all parents of bull riders should go to this school. I am not as scared watching him ride as I use to be. Probably because I now understand some of the techniques. I can tell when he leaves the chute if he is in a good position or not, what he might have done right or wrong. It was a wonderful, intense, power packed school. I would recommend the Sankey Rodeo Schools to anyone!
