Catch up!

So things has still been busy, but they are slowing down! We have sold all our cattle that we will sell this year, and what a great cattle price year it has been. We are thankful for the good prices and great grass year. Our cows got snowed in at our fall field in the hills over the November 12th weekend. Wade and 7 friends/brother-in-law headed up behind a snow plow on November 15th, loaded the cows and brought them home! It was a little nerve racking for a few days knowing the cows were stuck up there, but they are home, fat and happy. We pregged dad & mom's cows with ours yesterday (see pics below). It was a gorgeous day, we all walked around in sweatshirts!

Wade is switching jobs on December 12th, he will work for the State of Idaho in their road department. We are excited to have a schedule, and not too many late nights and weekends.

My job is going good, just starting to get busy for the 2012 loan season.

Our due date for Baby #2 is still March 24th, just under four months! Things are going well and I am finally realizing that each pregnancy is totally different. I have felt completely helpless during this pregnancy, but with Ryder I never missed a beat. We had our ultrasound, but did not find out what it is, we want it to be a surprise again! My gut feeling is that it is a girl, but that is all it is..... a feeling.

We had an awesome Thanksgiving. Wade's family came to our house for dinner and then we had my family over for leftovers on Friday. It was really fun to stay home on a holiday, now that we have some room to have guests. Now I am decorating for Christmas and loving it. I love this time of year. I didn't go early Black Friday shopping, but Shantelle and I did go shopping around 10 am on Friday for a few hours. I bought me a new DSLR camera, which I have been saving for forever. I have only played with it for a few minutes and I am already super excited about it! Instead of going shopping early, I took advantage of the same prices on the internet. I bought Whitney, Lauren and Carly's gifts online Thursday night. My favorite part of Christmas is watching people open the gifts we have got them. I am almost done with my shopping, with just a few odds n' ends to go. I can't wait to get the tree up and get some gifts wrapped.

I do need to ask each of you to keep my Grandma June in your thoughts, as she was admitted back into the hospital for the fourth time in four months.

From our house to yours, take care this holiday season and we hope you have great holidays.
Wade, Katie, Ryder and Baby #2
