We got a new baby!

This is Bailey with her new sister. Madison was born on September 24th. She weighed only 6 and a half pounds. She is way smaller then Bailey was, although she looks a lot like Bailey when she was born.
I didn't have babies that small. She seems so little compared to what I am used to.
Mom, Dad and baby are all doing well, just a little tired. She was born Cesarean so the healing is going to be a little longer.
Bailey came and hung out at our house during all the excitement. We had lots of fun doing her favorite two things. Jumping on the tramp and blowing bubbles. She had a little static going on. :)Chet drove my truck so I could stay home with her. It was a fun break from harvest.

And she's off!

Kamille headed out this week. She moved to Riverdale on Monday. She is still looking for a job though. But we thought it would be easier to find one if she lived there. It was costing her a lot in gas to go down every few weeks to submit applications. She had a couple of interviews today though so I think she will be getting a job soon. Maybe not her "dream" job, but who gets that lucky when they are just starting out.
Travis wouldn't cooperate for this picture. He was hanging out in my room watching tv. He went to Salmon today for a football game. I just called to see how it went and they won 44 to 0. They have won all three games they have played this year. No one has scored against them yet either. They are a pretty tough team even thought they aren't very big. You know that is true when Travis plays on the line at his size. Not may get by him, he is pretty tough. It will probably be pretty late when he gets home and I haven't seen him since last night, so I will probably wait to see him tonight even though I have to leave at 6:30 tomorrow. We have been starting early because it has been getting too hot during the afternoons and then we have to quit. I have been wearing shorts to work, I don't ever recall doing that in potato harvest before. It is supposed to start cooling off this next week though.

Time to have a little fun!

We took the Saturday before Potatoes and went to Lagoon. Travis took his friend, so that left Chet and I to do what we wanted. We arode all the scary rides and got to see all the sights. Lagoon has a lot of things to look at that I haven't got to see before because the last time I went I had to take the kids on the kiddie rides and keep them happy.
It was a great day! We even found some of my mothers ancester there. Well, their house anyways. " Chet, I hate this ride!!!" But he made me ride it anyways. I told him I'd ride it once and that is all I did. Never again. I rode a lot of other rides but this one really gets to me. Travis was never around to get a picture. Yea, he's getting to be like his dad and hates his picture taken.

Whew! It's hot out there

Okay, I want to know which is better, Peterbilt, Freightliner, or Kenworth? Here I am in a freightliner with a Peterbilt seat. I really like the seat, but I really don't care what kind of truck I drive in grain harvest as long as the air conditioner works. I am trying a new truck this potato harvest. It has a lot more power so I think I will like it better. It is a 2000 W900 kenworth. It is the biggest truck I've seen so far this harvest. What I mean by biggest is that it is really tall. So it is harder to get into, but then I get a better workout, right?
Here's Bailey and I right after grain harvest. I was making dilly beans , but took a break to blow some bubbles with her. That is her favorite thing to do at grandma's right now. She loves it when I blow the bubbles and she gets to chase them.
So the week I had between grain and potatoes I canned dilly beans, strawberry jam, tomatos, and apple pie filling. So my house isn't looking to good right now. I need a house cleaner too. ( like Delilas) I just keep on thinking how much we will enjoy these during the coming winter.
