End of the year

November was a very eventful month for our family. We had both my family and Bryant's family out on the property for Thanksgiving and Wyatt's blessing. Thanksgiving was filled with lots of good foods, favorites from both sides. There were a total of 22 people gathering. The next day Mom and I got up early for our Black Friday shopping spree. We got a lot of great deals and had a lot of fun, Wyatt was a good sport. The following Sunday Wyatt was blessed with all of the family there, when we got home we had a brunch and then a Birthday party for Aubrey.

It has been cold but not as cold as it will be for the rest of the winter. Bryant has been busy with the stables and all of the drama that comes along with it. You have no idea how much drama there really is, so because of this we have decided not to make a business out of caring for other people's horses. Bryant was able to shoot the first pheasant on the property, but is still waiting for the perfect deer. We want it to be mount worthy! So we will wait patiently.

Aubrey had a great Birthday and enjoyed having friends and family there. She takes after her Uncle Dustin. He always had an obsession with horses and at the age of 2 I think she loves them about as much as he did. So for her birthday she got a lot of fun toys, pretty princess clothes and horse stuff. This is Jasper her miniature horse.

December is almost over and we are now driving home from a nice visit back to PA. It has been a nice month, but one that went by too fast. Christmas was very nice and was spent with my parents. This year Bryant found his gift early as he does every year, but was still slightly surprised. Joey was excited for his gifts but was too tired or out of it to show it. Aubrey was excited over everything and has developed some personality on our trip. She loves to tease and is soooo cute when she does it.

It is hard having to leave PA and my family. Life in WI is getting better but it still isn't home and it doesn't have my family. But I guess we won't be here for forever so let's just pray it goes by fast. At least now I can have a warm car without having to go outside and start it myself. Automatic car starter BABY!! Merry Christmas to me. j/k But it will be really nice. Until next post!

Life in Wisconsin

So much has happened over these past couple of months... Bryant and I have opened a horse boarding facility here on the property and have named it Grandview Stables. Bryant's hoof trimming business is going well, and keeping him busy. He has also taken on a new hobby. He now is working on being a horse trainer. lol We have a 9 yr old Arabian who is not broke at all but is a very fast learner and eager to please. Bryant started working with him and then decided him being the cowboy he is should get on and ride him, I have never been more scared in my life. The thought of both of us being in the hospital was a little much. (me having the baby and him in a full body cast) Thankgoodness my prayer was answered and noone was hurt, but we did get a good laugh.

Joey has been potty trained for sometime now, we thought that time would never come. Now we just have to work on the no peeing in public. (county fairs, at the park for play group, in front of boarders) This kids has no shame. He is a good big brother and has taught his sister how to deffend herself at least from him.

Aubrey is our little princess (who am I kidding...) she is a little scrapper and nobody better mess with her. She can deffinately hold her own. She is an animal lover like her Mom and is obsessed with horses like her Uncle Dustin. She is with or on the horses out here every chance she gets.

I have been doing well and am glad to be done with this last pregnancy. After these past nine months I am not looking forward to growing old. I felt like I was eighty and you should have seen me walk you would have thought the same thing. But now it's all over with... My delivery was amazing and painless, almost like a fairytale :). Wyatt Ammon Hess was born on the 10th of October. He was 7lbs 9 oz and 20 1/4 inches long. He has been a wonderful addition to our family and a great baby. Joey loves his baby brother and Aubrey loves his ears. (Don't ask) She is like a little Mom and lets me know as soon as he starts fussing.

After only 6 1/2 months we now have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 2 cows, 1 sheep, 3 horses, and several chickens. I don't think I left anyone out. I have really enjoyed the animals over the past couple of months... the have helped me through move. And have been very entertaining.

Crazy Spring

Well, as most of you know our family decided to up and move out to Wisconsin. Things have been kinda crazy and haven't really gone as planned. I have been staying in PA with the kids living at my parents house, while Bryant has been rounding up customers out in WI. Not exactly as fun as it sounds. After finding a house that I just fell in love with, we decided to become neighbors with his parents. We will be living on a 40 acre farm raising fish and who knows what else. It will deffinately keep us busy.

The kids have really started to grow up. Joey is a chatter box and says the craziest things. And Aubrey is working on her personality and becoming an expert on giving the cold shoulder. They are enjoying the time with Grandma and Grandpa but are missing their Dad. The other day I took Joey with me to go see the baby (ultrasound), he was so excited. The doctor gave him pictures of the baby and he was thrilled. When we got home he walked up to our cat named Baby and said, "Look Baby it's you!!" The cat's new name is lucky, all we needed was him to think I had a cat in my belly.

Well, that seems to be it for now Joey is letting me know it's time to go night night. Hope all is well.
