Don't Give Up On Us!

Hello

It has been a long time. Judd and I are currently living in Utah at his parents house. We are inbetween jobs and trying to decide exaclty what to do at the moment. We got back from CA about 1 month ago where Judd was working to fix up my old house in Visalia.

We had to rip everything out; lenolium, carpet, baseboards, etc. Then he repainted the whole thing! (It's a big house) He laid new carpet himself, tiled the whole kitchen, hallways, laundry and bathrooms himself. It was a huge job and a lot of work. We were there for 4 months total (back and forth) and we would have been there 6 months if Judd's dad and brother didn't drive out to help speed along the work.

Now Judd wants to jump in on his Dad's pig business. YUP, so thats the big news, but there are a lot of things that have to happen before we do that which is what we are working on. We need a new truck. We both need our CDL's (yep never thought I would be getting that) We need to find some more pig buyers, and then we need to get rolling.

So the whole blog thing. No internet acess. Yep, both of our parent live in the county where there is no internet speed options. VERY SLOW. so I didn't have the patience to post. But when we get our own apartment SOME DAY we will have the internet again and you can see lovely pictures of us playing in the snow, jackson's one-year b-day party, christmas, and much more

love you all,
love sarah

Jackson's Halloween Costume

Judd has a new nickname for Jackson... Stoneface Jackson, Yup, you guessed it, sometimes it's hard to get him to smile.

He made a really cute Brown Bear. He was still crawling at Halloween, and his costume has huge bear paws on the bottoms of the feet. So when he crawled around he really did look like a little bear cub! We went to a trunk or treat in CA earlier in the month and then to Aunt Julie's ward party on Halloween night.

Jackson is walking!

Okay so he is not walking all over the place. He prefers to crawl. But at least we know he has the ability! Me and Jackson's Mamah we're practicing with Jackson having him walk between us for quite a while. Sometimes he would do it and sometimes he would get so excited he would try to run but lean too far forward and crash on his face! It was so fun to practice with him. So then we brought him out to show Judd and Grandmama, uncle juston, and both his grandpas were all there as withnesses. . . I wish we would have done this a few days ago when he took his first two steps!

Ice-cream!!

This was Jackson's first ice-cream given to him by his Uncle Juston when I wasn't looking. When I came in it was too late and too cute so instead I grabbed the camera!

Halloween

Halloween, Halloween, lots of fun at Halloween, black cats and ghosts, skeletons too, whiches and goblems all say BOO! Jackson with his Mamah

Jackson 8 Months

This is Jackson's 8 month picture! We weighed him at about 191/2 lbs. I tried unsucessfully to measure him. He is very active crawling, climbing stairs, and lifting up on everything and every one. He is an active litte fart and very squirmy to hold.

TWO MONTHS!!

My fellow bloggers, family, and friends, I am so sorry that it has been so long since we have blogged! (Two months) I am sorry to say we left the peaceful city of Rexburg to go work in California for a few weeks. While we were there my parents talked us into an opportunity to move to the Salt Lake Valley to house sit a house they had just bought. Within a week we sold our contract, drove up to Idaho, packed up our apartment and left. Ever since we have been nomads!

We moved our stuff into my parent new house then we had to go back to CA to finish the work there, then we came back to ID for Judd's sister's baby blessing, then we went back to the Salt Lake Valley house to pack up again becuase my parents have changed their minds and decided to flip and sell the house they bought. So we are litterally homeless. We have to go back to CA one more time to finish the work there.

We just decided (today) that we will go back to Rexburg and find a new apartment or house to rent! so those are our future plans.

All this moving around has taken it's toll on Jackson. He has had so much trouble sleeping at night, and I don't blame him, he has spent a lot of time in the car on long drives and has had to wake up in a different place every few days. poor baby...So these are a few pictures of our move.
