It's A Girl!

We were able to go to  radiology and have our ultrasound done so we could see how the baby is developing, and what the sex is. "It's a Girl" I was so relived to find out that every thing was OK. I worry,  and seeing her picture (the best we could) made it more  real. I remember with Tucker it did the same thing. The next day I got all of Tuck's cloths and went though all 6 totes. to find what I could that would pass on a girl. I didn't get much. Tuck got a lot for his shower that was blue of coarse. My mom had some cloths that Christine had gone through with Aubree, so I got some way cute things there. I made two of these burp rags that have ribbon that stick out the side (I will have to take pictures) I got one for Tuck and it was the best it help keep entertained and wiped up messes. Always love things that serve with duel purpose's. The first one I made I had to unpick 3 times, but the next went much faster of coarse. I knew what I was doing. I am getting excited to think of all the girl thing we get to dress her up in. Vernal has always had a better selection of girl cloths then boy's. Tucker is also excited to get a baby sister. That is what he wanted from the beginning.

Potty Trainning!

I have been for the last year trying any thing and every thing I could think of to get Tucker to potty train. We have bribed with Dumb Dumb sucker (his favorite) we have put him in time out. We have let him wear underwear. I knew his body was ready. He would wake up with dry diapers. I knew he knew what he was doing. He would acted ashamed, and hide. He didn't want me to watch, and get really upset if I was around. A couple of weeks ago I decided to give the underwear  another shot, so I put him in a pair, and we did wonderful that hole day. He was even running a fever, so I thought this is good right? The next day we put underwear on again. Half way though the day I couldn't hear his chatter any more, and I got worried, so I went looking for him. I found him leaning on a couch we have in our office, legs apart with diaria running down his legs right on  my carpet. I will tell you I didn't handle that very well, actually I am quite ashamed at my actions. While I was freaking out a thought came to me ( don't know how the spirit could have got through or was even present with my ranting) "You need to get one of those potty that are on there own, that sit on the ground." I have to admit I have thought about one in  the past, but they gross me out. Once I thought about it for a while I thought : "They aren't that different from whipping a dirty dipper bum." I got one three days latter, and we haven't had a diaper on sense. I am very particular on keeping it clean. We have a spray bottle with  a Clorox solution we wipe it down with every us. That helps my peace of mind.  It has been ten days tomorrow. My mom bought  Tucker this Jake and the Never Land Pirates boat 3 months ago as a bribe. It has sat on a shelf  for that long. We made that chart you see  in one of the pictures to let him mark off the days. He needed to use the toilet for 10 days in a row to get the boat. Tomorrow night he gets the boat. He is very excited. Mom and Dad are ecstatic.

First from the garden!

Randan and I planted the biggest garden that we ever have this year. We wanted to take the produce, and can alot of things. I don't know why we try. This is the third year and more then half has died. I will say we always get summer swash. We should get some zucchini, a little bit of tomato's, potato's, and maybe onions. so I guess I shouldn't be so negative. We get more and more every year.

Rainbow!

I hate taking pictures when they don't do what you are seeing justice. This is one of those. That is actually three rainbow's deep. We were on the mountain moving cows, and it rained. This is what we saw as was were on are way down.

4th of july Parade!

My husband and his Family own a trucking company among other things. This year for the 4th of July parade they had a oil and gas extraction  part of the parade, so we entered a float. This was it with all the generations on it. I was worried it would be way hot. It was overcast so not bad at all. You can't see it very well, but we had little trucks, tractors, and cars tied to the bails of hay, and each one stood for things the oil field effects.

Stock Show!

       Wow I am very behind. I have been ether busy or not feeling very well. All I want to do is sleep. I had a lot of pictures to share on this one but they are so blurry that I think they wont down load. This is the only one that would work. Tucker Showed a Goat in the stock show this year I was nerves but he did such a good job. He got right out there and did what we all taught him. It was the first day of the stock show and the air conditioner wasn't working. Holy cow it was hot. Tucker towards the end just leaned on his dad. His cheek's were so red. He took fifth place in market. He calls it his "Number five ribbon".

Water!

They thought this was great. Like a wadding pool.

This broom was floating down the hall.

Dont know if you can tell, but the water is around my ankles.

I think Grandma was a little frustrated with us getting rid of all her water this last April, so she got more then enough back.  We haled Glass and plastic  bottle after bottle of water storage out of Grandmas basement a month ago. Natalie and Char joke that grand ma had started a drought in Vernal with all her water storage.  We all got a laugh out of that.

On a serious note Grandma had quite the flood. I was worried I hadnt seen a Rainbow in a while.

On Thursday evening Grandma went to her house to check on things and found 1 to 2 inches of standing water through out her entire basement. Because her phone has been rerouted to mom's house she had no was to get a hole of any one, so she drove home, and got mom to help. They called Service Master.  They came with a pump of some sort, and tried to pump it out. They pump couldn't keep up, because when Grandma, and mom showed up the next day there was  steel water. Service Master returned, and tried pumping water. After a while the guy doing the pumping decide he was done, and told Grandma and mom to figure out were the water was coming from, and then call him. Buy Saturday Uncle Mark, Aunt Denna, Brenton, Breanna, Bethany, Mom, Aunt Teresa, Ben, Randan, Me, Justin, and Christine were there. Aunt Denna and the girls haled all the stuff that was left except that mattresses and some stuff in the furnase room out and in the garage so grand ma could go through it. We took two loads to the dump.  Randan brought a water pump from the ranch and had the 3-4 inches of water out in about 30 min. to an hour. They started going through all the places they thought that it might be coming in.  After 3-4 hours all the water had come back. Sunday  they keep the pump going down this drain in the furnace room. That seem to keep a handle on it. Monday afternoon Grandma had a guy from Webb's  come and look at her gray water line. He found that when Sliver Spur had gone down Grandmas road they had messed up the gray water line. It was off set . This with the irrigation and line needing cleaned out all contributed to the flood. Silver Spur fixed there mistake and we got the line cleaned out the best we could. Webb's said that The water line is going to need replaced, but cleaning it out hopefully bought her some time.
