Dress up Gidder.

Oh Gidder loves to dress up in anyone's clothes.

He has Jason's hat,gloves, and sweatshirt on and my cowboyboots.

Waiting for Daddy in the blizzard.

Jason got stranded in a north dakota blizzard

the kids were very happy to talk to him on the phone. He was in his truck for 12 hours so we called him about every hour.

The kids were very happy to get cuddled up in a blanky and watch a movie.

We ended up losing electricity...when that came back on the kids played in the bath with their bathing suits on.

Everything ended up ok and the kids had a goodnight even when the lights went out.

Fun in the snow.

Gidder has so much fun in the snow.

Gidder is climbing our big hill in the front yard.

Belle is crawling in the snow. She has gotton stuck so many times that she won't walk in unless Jason or I are walking with her.

Gidder is shoveling our porch.

Daddy and Gidder shoveling. We haven't had a whole lot of fun in the snow due to it being so cold. When we do get out Gidder has a blast and can't hardly get him back in.

It has been awhile.

It has been quite awhile since I have blogged. We haven't had the Internet since we moved. Last June we moved to Garrison,nd. We moved right by the lake. Jason took a new job in max,nd. He is working in the agronomy business. He had to get his custom applicator license and his CDL license. He loves his new job. The spring is hard....alot of hours but otherwise he is home alot more than he was.

God has placed alot of miracles in our life. We were able to purchase a home when we moved. It has been such a blessing to have our own house again. The kids have a nice back yard again.

The kids are getting so big!! Isabelle started preschool this year. It has been such a blessing. She has really blossomed since she started school. Learning alot and her social skills have grown so much, also she has always had a fear of new people and new things and that has gotten alot better.

I had to go back to work since we moved. I went back to CNA work. I am working at the hospital in town. It has been a good transition. The kids go to daycare. Dorthy and her family have been a big blessing to us. The kids love to go to her house. They have made some friends there and love to help Dorthy with the little baby. They always have lot's of stories to tell me on our way home.

It has been a good move.

We have some hard trials and have had to make some hard changes but God continues to protect us and bless us. He has brought alot of wonderful people in our path and we have found a wonderful small Church. It is still is hard being away from all our friends and family. There is so much I love about our small town and God has done so much in our life's since we moved to north Dakota but I still ask him the question "WHY" . I may never know. He keeps telling me be strong and courageous. So as it is hard to be away from all the people we love so much and wish you all could watch our children grow up, we ask for strengh everyday to keep going forward. I will start to post some pictures here soon.

Pony rides.

There is nothing like having a ride on your brother's back.

Biker boys.

Jason took little Gidder for a ride on our neighbor's bike....he loved it. Isabelle ran as fast as she could to the house...she was a little scared. Jason and I took it out too,on our anniversary weekend. It was so nice to be on a bike again....the good ole days!!

Back outside.

Isabelle is shutting the wagon door for Gidder.
Isabelle is giving him a little ride in the wagon...she loves to be in charge.

Gideon just loves the car....he starts the car,points out his pointer finger and says"bye mom see you soon,love you".

Taking a little break in their chairs.
We have finally been able to go back outside. Just love the outdoors!!
