And we are back...

So I am off of Facebook and back to blogging.

My goal is to update our blog weekly. So check back at least that often!

The boys are doing fantastic. At the moment they are laughing at Hitch (our newest animal addition). Hitch just came running into the kitchen and slipped and then slid all the way to the sliding door where he stopped with a crash.

Cade is growing like crazy and talking lots. He loves to sing and he loves the piano. He is such a ham, always making goofy faces and making us laugh.

Rad is in preschool and loving it. He is looking forward to the snow melting so that he can start racing his dirtbike. He really likes primary and his favorite song is 'Follow the Prophet'. Thanks Sam and Andrew!

Shayli recently won first place in the Invention Convention contest at her Charter School. She takes her invention to regionals here in a few weeks. We have a hotel room reserved for the event and we are looking forward to supporting her in her efforts. She is doing so well in school and is such a great 13 year old.

Derrick is doing great as Mr. Mom. It is nice to come home to a clean house and dinner made every day. His shop is getting closer to being finished and he loves living where we do.

I am working as a banker at a bank in Sandpoint. I really miss being home with the boys but since I have to work, I am glad that I like what I do.

Derrick spent a good chunk of the week researching different fitness routines and diets. Starting tomorrow the two of us will get up early and work out together. I am thankful for a husband that supports me in the things that I want to do... goodness knows that he does not need to lose an ounce.

The farm is doing great. We are down to 4 goats (Dean Grinder, Rocky, Sunny, and Cracker), 1 rabbit (Roxy), 2 barn cats (Rock and Roll), 10 hens, 1 rooster, 3 pigs (Hammy, Porkchop and Bacon), and Hitch our Chocolate Lab mix that we adopted in the early fall.

Life is good.
