Watch out.. I'm on a Rollll...

Some ask, Why in the WORLD did you move to North Dakota..

Here is your answer:

See that guy right there? The one with his back to you?

Ya that one..

He would be the reason I came here..

See that big truck right by him, the one getting filled up with tons of water?

That would be the reason He came here!!

Nick has been working his butt off since we got up here..

The more he works.

The sooner we get to leave!! :)

What does he do while he is not workin his butt off??

Wrastlin with the kiddies.. I'm not quite sure what it is about having your dad throw you across the room, and pound you to the ground, and throw pillows at you..But my kids.. They LOVE it!!!

This is why we moved up here.. Moments like this.. Nick was only away from us for 3 Months. But we just couldn't do it with out him! He's our sunshine on a rainy day. We missed him too much!
I am soooo grateful that we were able to come here with him. We are so blessed!!

{maybe one day I will tell you the crazy story of us finding a place to live! Prayers are answered!}


Peace. Love. Blessings.

A little bit at a time!!!

Well I got about half of my pictures to upload off my camera! YEAH!

So here we go!!

These are just some pictures of the country up here..

These are sunflowers. They are as far as you can see.. EVERYWHERE!! It is really pretty!
Our first Sunday drive.. White tail deer.

So there is grass.. and grass. and grass..

that is all there is here!

And, they mow it. all.

Down the middle of the highways, down the side of the roads.. you name it, they mow it.

{and bail it}

The Missouri River.

Its HUGE!

We see ALOT of this.. They are everywhere!

(oil pump)

Missouri River again.

This is corn. Just like the sunflowers.. planted everywhere!

Its not for eating though. Its ethanol. (whatever that is)

And this beauty, is our new home! I did get nick to take down the handicrap ramp though.

That's all for now! More to come!!!!

peace. love. blogging.

Grrr..

This whole blog thing is making me mad! I have tons of pictures, but for some reason, my phone wont let me put them on my computer. I am working on it though!! We are having a ball up here in chilly North Dakota! Tomorrow will be out first thanksgiving with no family but our little family! I am kind of excited! (I'm gonna miss my family like crazy tomorrow though!) We are having some of the guys that nick work with over. One is from Utah, One was born in Ireland, lived there till he was a teenager and then moved to New Jersey (blaine loves him and his cool handshakes!), and one is a friend from home who came up to work! It will be fun! I have never cooked a Thanksgiving dinner before, so ya... It will be fun! :)

Tonight I did something I SWORE SWORE SWORE I would NEVER EVER do! Lets just say I would have done anything to get out of the house with girlfriends!
Ok.. Yes I gave in and watched the Twilight movie..
All I have to say is.. WTF.. Really, what a screwy movie.
Melissa begged and begged ;) me to read and watch those with her, and I was strong, I never gave in..
But after like three months of no girl time.. I was DESPERATE!! Sooooo..
First of all, Edward? UGLY
Jacob? HOT
Wolves and Vampires? LAME....
Although, I would love to go to that Island.. Me and Melissa both agree that if we were on that island.. we would walk out in the water naked too.. Why not??
Melissa tells me it might be better if I watch the first movies.. NOT GONNA HAPPEN! :)
I've had me "fill"
But I got out of the house.. Got to laugh with girlfriends.. Sit in a Chick flick with no kids..
So Twilight, I guess you were OK! I mean its better than a stick in your eye..
Peace.. Love.. Jacob.. (in the weird mega tron wolf voice)
p.s. I will keep fighting my phone for those pictures..

Gotta love a sunday like this...

Im still working on getting my pictures on my computer so this post will be pictureless! It is cold today. When nick left for work this morning it was like 23 degrees out! Yikes.. When we left for church it had gotten up to 40. COLD!!!!

I dread going to church by myself! So this morning I had to fight myself all morning! Do I go to sacrament or do I ditch.. Its not like I get much out of it anyways.. Well today I gave into my "good side", and on we went to church.. My kids were FABULOUS.. AMAZING! I dont think they made one peep for ALL of the meeting! What a blessing! After church was over, I was asking blaine what he learned at church, He learned about hunting.. (last week he told me that they sing follow the big deer up here..) then he told me that he said the opening prayer, Then he started laughing soo hard.. I asked him what was so funny.. MOM. haha. Guess what I did to my teacher.hahaha. (im thinking ohhh great.. what did you do?) She forgot my name. ahahah. So I told her my name was Sister Solomon. hahahahaha. (this was his teacher in taylor). And guess what mom. What? Thats what she called me all day!! hahah

He is such a nerd! But I love him to pieces. He is such a story teller.

Roxie told us how she played bubbles and had a treat and watched a movie.. Sounds good to me!

(she had 3 men as her teachers today.. cant ya tell..) :)

Anyways, Now its off to get cuddled up in a blanket and take a nap!!

Peace Love Sunday!
