1st horse experience

Tessa had her first experience with the horses yesterday. We had walked out to where Tom is building an arena and the horses walked over to it and came up to the fence. Chad walked over to them and Tessa just wanted to grab them. Most of the horses didn't want to come near her because they did not know what she was. Here is a picture of Tessa with Jack. Chad's parents have a horse that has loved kids from the day it was born so I told Chad that he would probably let Tessa touch it . Here are a couple of pictures of Tessa and Salty.

The Big Hole

On Thursday the excavator started digging our foundation. Chad and I are really excited that it is finally becoming a reality. It was really neat being able to take Paxton out there to be able to see excavator and see where our new house will be. Paxton really likes seeing things like that. Monday the concrete person will pour our footers and the will be back out in a couple of days to pour the walls. Hope everyone is doing well.

Coming Along

Well as of Tuesday we received our building permit in the mail. Chad and our excavator put in the two culverts for our new drive way. Chad has also been trying to find a new concrete guy to be able to do our foundation sooner than three weeks. We have found two new hopefuls who have told him that they could start as soon as this Monday. We are really excited that things are really starting to move along. Hope all is well with everyone and we will keep you all posted as things happen. Here are a few pictures of the culvert going in.

8 months old

Tessa turned 8 months old today. She is getting really big. She has learned to roll from her back to her stomach last Thursday. Tessa has cut her second tooth on the bottom. I am not sure how much she weighs but if I was to guess I would say about 18 lbs. She is really wanting to be mobile. I have been working with her to crawl, when I put her on her hands and knees she will rock back and forth but if she tries to move her feet slip out from behind her and she land on her stomach. Since I have been working with her she tends to like her stomach more now than she did before. Hope everyone had a wonderful fathers day.

New Tooth

Tessa cut her fist tooth on Saturday. Yeah!!! We only have 19 more teeth to go. Tessa is 7 1/2 months old. She is really getting big. I have been working with her on crawling. I am able to put her up on her hands and knees and she will hold her self up for a few minutes. Since I have started doing this she like her stomach a little better.
On Saturday we went fishing up wolverine canyon with Chad's family. It was really windy and cold and Paxton lasted about ten minutes for fishing then wanted to go back to the cars and play. For only being 2 1/2 years old, I have to say that he did pretty good.
Hope everyone is doing well. I will soon be posting pictures of the work on the new home so stay toned.

Tessa laughing

I hope that you all will enjoy this little clip of Tessa laughing. It is so cute and such a joy to hear her laughing. Paxton started chasing Sadie around the living room and Tessa just thought that it was really funny. It never seems to fail though, once I bring out the camera Paxton stops what he is doing which then happens to lead to Tessa stopping. Yes the really high pitched screaming is from Paxton and not Tessa. Sorry if it hurts your ears I know that it hurt mine.
