Getting Settled In

Gophers galore! Everywhere you look it seems a gopher has made a fresh mound. The boys started trapping them as soon as we moved in.
Between them and Poppy they have been catching a lot. We got to get them all before we put the garden in this spring!
Checking out a problem with the heater...


Sorting through books before putting them on the shelves. 
There's always time to stop and read Jubilee a "few" books!
Jubilee loves having her own room. She always makes it a mess, but then she is very good at cleaing it all up bofore getting into bed. She spends hours reading books! The other day she came running to Mom and said, "Will you pray for my tummy?" After Mom was done praying she asked what was a wrong with her tummy. Jubilee says, "I read too many books!" haha
She is such a little book worm! :)
We have been getting quite a bit of rain lately, so we got the cows moved up under the porch of the barn. Dad recently built a pasture for them and they are really enjoying the space.
We got the calves moved up as well.
The two dry cows are due in a few weeks. Exciting!! :)

We are still working at getting the dairy going. The guy to get it set up has come and laid it all out, there are just things that take time. It shouldn't be long now till they get started on it. 
Cleaning up outside.
My kittens aren't so little anymore! 
Jubilee licking out the batter bowl. :)
The veiw from our back door.. Aren't the mountains breathtaking?

We are so enjoying our new house. It fits us just right and each day it becomes more like home.

Moving Day

We were all up at 6:00 the morning we moved. We had just gotten back from snowboarding, so we all crawled out of bed a bit sore. Mom had got a lot more packing done while we were gone, but there was still a lot of last minute things to be packed. We had pretty much everything ready to go by 8:00.

These pictures were taken from earlier.
We were thankful for some friends that brought an extra trailer.
Loading up!
Yep, Jesse goes too! lol :)
Four trailers waiting to be unloaded.
Quick lunch and then back to work.

I didn't get a lot of pictures as we were all busy. We had most of the house things moved by that evening and were excited to finally be in our house. It took quite a few more trips to get everything thing done at the old place. Joanna and I went back up and cleaned once we were out. There was piles of compost that had to be moved, animals, etc..We are glad its all over and are enjoying getting settled in! :)
