Almira Washington
After spending about 16 months back in Ohio and having a new baby in December of 2014, we moved. Yep, in February we loaded up our van and headed back out west. It seems in just under ten years we have come full circle back to Washington state, where we met and fell in love. Dean applied for and was offered a job at a Hydro-electric dam in Grand Coullee Washington. He went ahead of us in December and found a nice house that is both large enough and very rural, which we like. He likes his job and we like living on our own once again. The children will be on summer vacation in about 2 1/2 weeks. I'm not sure how the summer will go but I have high hopes.

A Crazy Life
Well, since January;
My sister, her husband, son and my mother in law all moved out of my home up to Ohio. I finished my bachelors degree in April and my husband left in April for a plant shutdown in Mt Storm West Virginia. Currently I am running a single mom household until Dean gets back home in a few weeks. I am trying to get the spring cleaning done and get ready for a huge yard sale so that we can have less clutter. We are selling our animals and getting ready to move to wherever it is that we end up I guess. If we stay here it will not be all bad, however we will be making some changes regardless of our location.
Holden started walking last week and now nothing is safe with him on the loose. Wyatt, Jharyka and Zivaya are doing there best to act like triplets and completely destroy anything they can get their hands on. That keeps me rather busy. Alivya, Renynn and Kohlier are going to be out of school in about four weeks and looking forward to a relaxing summer. I am looking forward to the return of my husband and the birth of our baby girl in August. Well thought I would post an update and I will try and get some new pictures up here soon.

My Nellie
My last post was almost a year ago. I remember the day I brought that little boy home. I am so grateful to my husband, my mother and my best friend Nellie for making his entrance into this world so wonderful.Well he will be one in march and we are expecting our next baby already. I know it's fast but when you know, you just know.
We have had a long year with lots of change and new experiences in our lives. We are currently looking for a new job right now, one that pays better would be nice.
It seems that Nellie has been a big part of my life for the last 24 years. It took me a long time to get to where I understood just how much she meant to me. We followed her and her family to Rexburg, cause she convinced me that my husband should go to school at BYU-Idaho and that it would be more cost effective than living in Utah and attending Utah Valley University. She was right! We moved to Rexburg and into a little apartment because she arranged for us to move into the little house she was renting after they graduated in December of 2009. After she and her family moved to Virginia to take a job at Celanese I thought that was the only chance I was going to have to live close by her again. Well it seems that Rick is very handy and was able to secure and internship for my husband at Celanese and we moved out to VA for about 6 weeks and then up to my folks for the remainder of the internship...something about horses being a mistake here. Before Dean left his internship he was offered a job with the company. We accepted and after graduation moved back east for his job. We have lived here for a year and a half. I have had the privilege of being in close proximity to my best friend and her family for that long. Recently her husband took a job in Georgia and today they closed on her new home. She moves in just about a week. I am going to miss her so much. She has been such a great friend and always someone I can count on. I hope that she knows how much I value our friendship and how much I just love her. Your family is a light in our lives Nellie. I hope that we will be able to someday be close again.

New Home
Well we have lived in our new home for close to two months now. This winter has been very mild, so we were able to get a lot done around the house. It's been really nice. After living in Siberia (Rexburg) for three years, not having any snow has been a wonderful blessing. It did however snow yesterday here and wow did it dump a lot. It must have been making up for lost time. I think we recieved about ten inches. We lost power for about two hours straight last night, so all the kids bunked in my room so we would stay warm. Dean had to go to Richmond for training, and I wanted him to beat the storm so he left before it started, so he missed it all here. We took pictures this morning and the little ones had a blast building snow men and playing in the snow for a couple of hours. Needless to explain that the world looks beautiful covered in white and it was so mesmerizing. I took the oppurtunity to take plenty of pictures just in case it never happens again. Hope you all like them.
