For all those wondering if we're still alive!!!
I've been meaning to post for so long, just seems like there is so much to be done, and definitely not enough time in my day!!! I promise I will be better and I will post pictures soon! There are so many things I want to do to my house before I take pictures for all to see. I'll start from the beginning and try not to leave to much out. Jake and I found a cute little house on 5 acres. It's a little smaller than we planned, actually a lot smaller than we planned, but we bought it with hopes of building on...so hopefully sometime in the somewhat near future we will be able to build on to accommodate our growing family. Some of you may know, I know a lot of you don't...Jake and I are expecting another baby. We are excited to add to our already lively little family. I am 18 weeks pregnant, and can't wait to find out in a couple of weeks what we'll be having. Gentry knows that it just has to be a baby sister, we'll soon see. I am due in early March.
We love the area that we live in and are so lucky to have so much space for the kids to run around and play! Our dog Keno loves it too! He's not confined to the back yard anymore, poor thing. We have been so busy these last few months. Koby is living with us. We love having him in our home, and feel so blessed that everything worked out as it did. Heavenly Father truly has blessed us so much in the last few months. My testimony of fasting and prayer has grown so much. There were so many times when I truly wanted to give up because I thought that things weren't going to work out, but I've learned that it is truly after the trial of your faith that we are blessed! Koby started 2nd grade this year and is doing very well. Gentry also started preschool this year and loves it! She goes twice a week for a few hours at a time. My little girl is growing up! It's so much fun to see them learn and grow, but sometimes hard to let them be so independent. I just don't want her to grow up to fast! Garrett, my terrible 2 year old! He is such a handful and ALL BOY! But he is a sweetheart, when he's not hitting his sister or throwing things. AHH! Hopefully this stage will pass quickly. For now Jake and I are just trying to get settled into our home. Trying to find places for everything and time to do the things that we need and want to do. With work and taking kids to and from school and church callings, there is not much time left for either of us to do much, so needless to say it's a slow, seemingly never ending process. We are truly happy and grateful for so many blessings that Heavenly Father has blessed us with. We are glad to have our husband, and daddy home with us. We miss our friends in Colorado. We made so many great friends in the time that we were there. We miss you all and are so grateful for your help, and love and support. I know that I've left out so much. Ask lots of questions...I promise I'll be better at posting back.

OFFICIALLY HOMELESS!!!
We are officially homeless! We got word that a friend of Jake's from work wanted to rent our house and possibly buy it. He signed the lease on Tuesday and wanted to know if they could move in by Sunday! We packed up all of our stuff and moved out of our house Saturday morning and 15 hours later made it to IDAHO. It was 2:30 a.m. and we were all exhausted! It was a sad day but we truly feel blessed that things have worked out so well. Thanks to everyone who helped! We couldn't have done it without you! We are staying with my parents until we find a house. The hunt is on!! We will keep you all posted!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
We had so much for over at our friends Russell and Connie Bench! Gentry and Garrett both had a great time. They got to go for a horse back ride, ride in "papa's" ranger, roast marshmallows, and light fireworks!!

MY FUNNY 2 YEAR OLD
Never a dull moment. He makes me laugh so much! He's just starting to want to use the potty like his sister. He's been successful a few time......we'll see how it goes.
OUR NEW FRIENDS!
We don't seem to be very good at keeping pets around! We'll see how long these guys last.
ROCKY THE HORNY TOAD
Jake brought this horny toad home from a fire call. It was Gentry's best friend for about a week. She named him Rocky, and carried him around everywhere she went. Outside to play and inside to eat. He was pretty mellow and just let her do whatever she wanted. A couple of days ago she put him somewhere and when she went back he was gone. Guess he saw his chance to escape!! Fun while it lasted.
