Last weekend we went Christmas tree hunting and it was Maubry's first year to get to go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went with our sweet friends Tim and Jenna.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The morning started with breakfast at our house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We loaded up our dogs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stopped and got coffee. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Maub napped all the way up the mountain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a fun little adventure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This year has been a little different for Chaney and I. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is our first Christmas without either of our families. And though we are both a little sad it has been cool to see how God has filled the season with many new friends that are starting to feel like family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So even though we won't be with our parents or siblings or grandparents or cousins we still are filled with lots of joy and laughter and love. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

~All thanks to Jesus~</div>

We got to celebrate thanksgiving with our families and Chaney quickly headed back home to Montana. But Maubry and I stayed because my mom went to Uganda for a week so I helped take care of the kids while she was gone. It was a wild week but such a fun and blessed time! I got to spend a lot of time with my sweet cousin Ashton (I begged her mom to send her up to me from So Cal) and it was so great to hang out with her. And of course spending time with my dad and all my siblings was super great! I love getting to be with them and see how they have grown and changed and just get to pour a little bit of the love I have for them into their daily lives. Each of the kids were so helpful and all had wonderful attitudes and took care of maub a lot for me so I could care for them (I thought it was a fair trade). We also spent lots of time at Shiloh Ranch Cowboy Church. A church VERY dear to my heart. I miss it all the time so we went to lots of church :) and there were 27 baptisms in one weekend!! Most of them people I love A WHOLE LOT. Only God would see it fit to allow me to be there. I spent time catching up with a few friends as well. So overall it was a very full and fun and wild week and I was so blessed by every minute of it! <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNqS8AZ9ydpkP8ibQju1-N_lFFQK1g6GXH0jYwQN6LyxKyjiGuVVwlTd7arJ7WIEyqKZ8XNNq1e_SVmqcNiCaE7v7CqtZxOdJ9hHdHC3OoHje3NM6SvWjhYWO0BZebwoxw3Ygab-0q7z0/s640/blogger-image-181665402.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNqS8AZ9ydpkP8ibQju1-N_lFFQK1g6GXH0jYwQN6LyxKyjiGuVVwlTd7arJ7WIEyqKZ8XNNq1e_SVmqcNiCaE7v7CqtZxOdJ9hHdHC3OoHje3NM6SvWjhYWO0BZebwoxw3Ygab-0q7z0/s640/blogger-image-181665402.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As chars put it...

It's been the perfect first yard. We actually only started with half the size and it grew so well we planted more later in the year. Maub and I have been out in the yard this summer playing in her pool and laying in the shade. Our friend Joe gave us a hammock. Chaneys mom got the lawn furniture at a garage sale. And Mac put up the little pink swing for maubrys birthday. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Our yard has definitely been a group effort but it has proven to be well worth the work.

My little miss has taught me more about what my relationship with God is/should be like than any other relationship I've ever had. As I watch her learn new things all the time I see that sometimes she gets frustrated but she looks at me and then tries again. Just as we should look to Jesus and keep on trying. And the TRUST that she has in me.... She literally relies on me to give her life and she never argues, whines or denies that truth. She just knows that I will take care of her. And it makes me wonder... Who do we think we are to not trust God? Or question Him? Or deny Him? He paints the clouds in the sky and hangs the moon up every night... Don't we think He will care for our needs? His children made in His image! I also see the way she is CONSTANTLY growing, developmentally, physically, mentally and emotionally, shouldn't we ALWAYS be growing too?! Striving to learn. Achieve. And get better. We shouldn't stay like infants waiting to be fed, changed and held.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXxnwWbrH6gFw8OsRgcp1dS2IvDI7MAybuRYK6-v1RCz7cVeTa037KlCbk099zFWUCot21t4g7nEmrlClihgcc1ge1wlS2nn7MzWiLsQLt6hD0KK36LlzZ_s_Eu7IVCe6t0BAQR_gNdEA/s640/blogger-image-1459491354.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXxnwWbrH6gFw8OsRgcp1dS2IvDI7MAybuRYK6-v1RCz7cVeTa037KlCbk099zFWUCot21t4g7nEmrlClihgcc1ge1wlS2nn7MzWiLsQLt6hD0KK36LlzZ_s_Eu7IVCe6t0BAQR_gNdEA/s640/blogger-image-1459491354.jpg"></a></div><br>

In the past 8 months Maubry has learned to crawl, pull herself up on everything, giggle, throw fits, do "more" in sign language, squeal, screech, babble, say "dada", drink from a sippy cup, feed herself and so much more.... It's amazing to me what one person can learn in 8 months! She truly does light up my life.<br>

Maubry loves to play outside in the stroller or in the dirt, as long as she is outside she is happy(usually). She loves people and animals (especially dogs). She does not like the wind, it makes her gag and blink a lot! And the sun makes her eyes VERY squinty! She loves anything that makes her think she is big, like standing or self feeding. Bath time is her favorite time. And she loves to be read to, she also like ripping pages out of my books.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTHtOfam_xZC6NACEHxQYUte_dLJhyHbx8pZmD_46PuWoS8528mzuKS2GVKt6BO4D3qBKMODKWhQkHA8jMA-ReBsgsTdnqKwHKQ939aJ6RmGOyCsEUjsGTewFFO2EBaaepJbo3e46JJNE/s640/blogger-image-1815723768.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTHtOfam_xZC6NACEHxQYUte_dLJhyHbx8pZmD_46PuWoS8528mzuKS2GVKt6BO4D3qBKMODKWhQkHA8jMA-ReBsgsTdnqKwHKQ939aJ6RmGOyCsEUjsGTewFFO2EBaaepJbo3e46JJNE/s640/blogger-image-1815723768.jpg"></a></div><br>

Basically Maubry is an 8 month old girl who loves life and I am a borderline (ok maybe over the line) obsessed mommy! We love spending every single day together and look forward to many many many more months!<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaRbmVfxC1grUIq2E0rWIMLCnMTGHIMaWwxx_yeL2Vo9ZK-lniyWPsObBRVq6YpCfadxcHhxKCiyB5a0u6TWPE1r_UC6mcRoGD2ZczciErJd0L8K5B13jI5PCNcYmtECq65XaQFzxLZug/s640/blogger-image-1073961749.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaRbmVfxC1grUIq2E0rWIMLCnMTGHIMaWwxx_yeL2Vo9ZK-lniyWPsObBRVq6YpCfadxcHhxKCiyB5a0u6TWPE1r_UC6mcRoGD2ZczciErJd0L8K5B13jI5PCNcYmtECq65XaQFzxLZug/s640/blogger-image-1073961749.jpg"></a></div></div></div>Lashae Bowenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00209909194502312877noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3143543103994459637.post-54312397208656192162013-05-03T13:53:00.000-07:002013-05-03T13:53:45.441-07:00it's been awhile...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Maubry is now 7 1/2 months old. She is growing up so fast...sigh...but at the same time I love to watch her learn and grow and discover new things everyday.<br />

For example just this week she has basically gone from my little baby to a big girl...she is now crawling (not perfectly but she definitely has it figured out, by next week she will be unstoppable).<br />

And they way she drinks out of a sippy is hilarious! As one man described it perfectly, "bottoms up". She throws her whole body over backwards and drinks all dramatically and then slams the cup on her tray. I am telling you... this girl is a crack up. Maubry loves to be outside.<br />

<br />
She also likes to look out the window...we have low windows so I can set her up in front of the window and she will lean against it with her chest and just talk and wiggle and giggle.<br />
<br />
Our little girl is a pretty happy one. With the exception of, her recent fear of men....if they try to hold her or play peek-a-boo or stare at her she will start to cry the SADDEST cry you've ever seen. I am talking bottom lip out, big frown, SAD eyes and ALLIGATOR tears. It's heart-breaking and funny all at the same time, I know that sounds bad but it's true.<br />
<br />
Maubry is a very INTENSE baby, she focuses in on something and you can't distract her. I think she will be and olympian or a millionaire or something. She has the focus and intensity already.<br />
<br />
We are LOVING watching her change and grow all the time, it just happens a little too fast. But every moment with our girl is sheer delight (even her fits make me laugh).<br />
<br />
As for Chaney, he is loving his new job and is very happy to be in his "home-state" of Montana.<br />

*But for the record his license still says he is from Oregon and mine is in Montana, so really, I am the local hehe.<br />
<br />
Chaney has just started going to open gym basketball this week and is enjoying getting to know some of the true locals. We are starting to get involved in the community and open gym has been a fun way for Chaney to do that.<br />
<br />
And I am just continuing to love being a wife and mommy and learning everyday. It is not always easy but I do LOVE my life. God is challenging me and growing me in ways I NEVER expected, which is hard but so good.<br />
<br />
I spend a lot of time with Maddie (the bosses 15 yr old daughter) she is my "adopted" sister. We bake A LOT and are starting a garden.<br />

Chaney and I have found a church we like...and our bosses have been going there for years so that is awesome. Maubry has been going to physical therapy twice a week, she has torticollis (aka crooked neck) and so we are blessed to have good insurance right now for her so we can get it corrected. Praying God does a miracle in it all...and other than that we are just loving life. Thankful for the MANY blessings God has bestowed upon us and praying about how we can be a light in the world, this community and just throughout everyday.<br />

I still can't believe that just last week I became a mom.<br />
<br />
Being a mom is absolutely incredible. Exhausting? Yes. New? Yes. But incredible? Absolutely.<br />
<br />
I never imagined that I could love a little person so much. Maubry Ann has changed my life forever and I am so so blessed. I get to raise the most beautiful little girl I've ever laid eyes on. She truly is a perfect gift from God.<br />
<br />
My labor was fast...after a full day of contractions I went to bed and woke up at 10:17pm with a REAL contraction. We left for the hospital about 11:20pm and Maubry was born at 1:08am. It was the most intense, most amazing experience I have ever had. Yes, it was by far the most painful. More than I ever thought it could be, but it was incredible. I wish I could describe what it was like but my words are insufficient to depict the intensity and beauty of the whole process. All I know is, I will never forget it.<br />
<br />
(I realize this post is scattered but so is my brain, so I am just sharing what I think you might want to hear and whatever pops into my head. I am going to try and be better about blogging.)<br />
<br />
This first week has been great. Maubry is a good little eater, sleeper and pooper. She is oh so precious!<br />
<br />
Chaney is loving the dad life. He is an awesome daddy to his little girl and a wonderful hubby to me. I've been a bit emotional the past week and he just loves me anyway. I am very thankful.<br />
<br />
My family has been a HUGE help. They feed me. And tell me to nap when Maubry is napping. And they keep me company. It's been a real blessing to be here during this time.<br />
<br />
Well, I am getting side tracked...so here are some pictures of my baby girl and hopefully I will get better at this blogging business.<br />

(this post is long)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last 3 weeks have been FULL, very very full! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It all started Wednesday May 23 when my mom and little miss Maezie moo flew into Billings. Chaney and I met them at the airport and picked them up. It had been 3 LONG months since I last saw them and I was so so happy to have my mommy and little sissy in Montana with me. :) After we picked them up we headed to the doctor's office for an ultrasound, baby was healthy and wiggly. It was fun to see it again and for my mom to be there. After running some errands in Billings we drove back to the lodge (our house in Ekalaka). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next day the ranch had its big branding so Chaney was off to work bright and early while mom and I took our time getting ready and letting Moo sleep in. But eventually we headed over to watch the end of the branding. Thankfully we had just missed Chaney's wreck of the day, apparently his horse fell over backwards...but they were both okay. And the rest of the branding went smoothly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Friday morning Chaney stayed home to help us get ready to go and say goodbye :( and mom, moo and I headed out for Hamilton, MT a good 9-10 hour drive. It was very hard leaving Chaney, I knew I would miss him like CRAZY! The drive was good...made lots of bathroom/food stops (travelling as a preggo and with a nursing baby will do that to ya), had a blow-out (a baby blow-out), laughed, sang praise songs and listened to christian rap, talked a ton, and just had a blast being with each other. Oh how I loved having my mom to myself...well basically haha! We made it to my cousins house in Hamilton at about 11 that night and went right to sleep.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next day my cousin Tiffani, who is 2 months older than me, had a baby shower (she is due July 2). It was so fun to see her and her mom and her sister, Brittany. I love them all so much and it was just an extra special blessing to be able to celebrate her and her baby. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here are some pictures from the shower:</div>

After the shower mom, moo and I headed out for Cheney, WA to stay with some of my mom's long-time friends. The drive was quick (3 1/2 hours I think). And we visited with them for awhile and then got some much needed sleep. The next morning (sunday 27) my mom and Teri went for a run and left me alone with Moo. Let's just say she wasn't very happy about it.... :/ We had breakfast with Mike and Teri and then left for the last leg of the drive, about 6 or 7 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we made it home the kids were so excited to see us. It was so good to hug and kiss them all after so long! I missed them something fierce! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next several days were full full full. We did random errands. Kids had school. I looked at Kole's new bike with him. Went to Luke's baseball game and practices. Played lego's with Roo. Tried to teach him how to ride a bike (he refused to learn because he "wants to stay little"). Watched movies with the family. Went to a branding with Chars, Roo and my dad. Spent some time with my best friends- Brooklyn and Sydney. Enjoyed the last PB&J. Visited for a long time with a friend from high school. Spent some time with my in-laws. Went to my mom's bible study. Hung out with Charsie and my mom. Stayed up late. And so much more, it went by so fast and so much happened that I just can't remember it all but I enjoyed every minute.</div>

On Monday, June 4th, I went for a walk with Brooklyn and her sister Taylor. Sydney and her sister Whitney and my sister Charsie. :) Then later that day I walked with my friend and mentor Kim. I love spending time with her when I get the chance. That night was also baccalaureate, of which my dad spoke at. And let me tell you, he brought the word! It was a perfect message for all the seniors finishing this chapter of their life. And also very fitting for everyone else listening! God is using him in big ways and I am so proud to call him Dad!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next couple of days were spent preparing for guests (family chaos) and graduation. Thursday and Friday aunts and cousins started arriving and so we spent a lot of time hanging out and catching up with them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday night was Kole's big night to shine. And shine he did! He was the first one to walk in at the graduation ceremony. He was recognized for top 10% of his class. Honor core. and University diploma. He was also one of six valedictorians, so he gave a speech. And was the first one to receive his diploma. All while wearing a morph suit! (I also think he had the biggest cheering section!) It was SO awesome to be able to be there and watch my little brother be recognized for all his HARD work! He has been so focused and determined and that night was finally his night to shine. He is an incredible young man and I couldn't be any more proud to be his older sister! Next year he is going to the University of Texas with a Navy scholarship and he is going to do WONDERFULLY! We are all going to miss him a ton but we are all very excited to see what God has in store for him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love you Kole! :)</div>

Saturday June 9th was FAMILY DAY!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a day filled with Franke family only! And what a blessed day it was! We haven't ALL been together for quite some time, we are a very close-knit family, so being together is very important to all of us. So we set the day aside without any distractions so we could enjoy one another. The day started out with some YUMMY breakfast my mom made. After breakfast we had a family time of thanksgiving (we usually celebrate Thanksgiving day all together but the last couple years it hasn't happened, so we all said what we were thankful for, and we all had LOTS to be thankful for) and Worship. We sang worship songs and prayed. OH how blessed we are to have a family that ALL love the Lord Jesus! It blessed me bigger than words can say. I cried most of time and just thanked God for the incredible family that I have! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When were done singing, it was GAME TIME (we have a competitive family) and oh my what fun we had!!! We played musical chairs, we had grandparents - 3 year olds playing. It was a blast and so fun to be a part of and watch. :) After several rounds of musical chairs we played bump. And for the final game we had a relay race. So we split up into teams like you do in elementary school. My mom and her 3 sisters were the team captains and they each got to pick one person at a time to be on their team. Of course, I was picked LAST! That's right dead last. (I knew it would happen though, who wants a preggo on their team ha?) The relays were complete chaos and so much fun. Of course everyone cheated. So who knows who won? but We laughed A LOT!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When games were over it was lunch time! :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rest of the day we all just hung out together. We were so worn out from the games it felt good to just sit and visit while the kids played and watched movies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday was family photos. Our family pictures were very out-of-date, with 22 grandkids it's hard to keep them up-to-date. So we took lots of pictures and had another big breakfast together. Then us girls went back to my parents house for a baby shower. My mom and sister put together a shower for me. Even though I just did the whole "shower" thing last year, it was such a blessing to be surrounded by women that I love and that have been an important part of my life. I am so thankful to know so many incredible women. It was a FULL house and we got lots of great stuff for baby! It was ANOTHER incredible day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the shower two of the aunties and their kiddos headed home. And we cleaned up and relaxed for the rest of the evening.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Monday morning Brittany and I left for Montana. We drove all day but made great time. It was hard to leave my family :( I love them all so much leaving always makes me cry but I was more than ready to be with my hubby again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Getting the rest of the way home was a bit of a struggle...I ended up having to ride a bus Tuesday night at 11pm from Missoula, MT and arrived in Miles City, MT at about 9:30 wednesday morning. It was a LONG trip and not exactly how I wanted to get home but God used it and I made it home eventually. (I could talk a LOT about the whole bus experience but this post seems plenty long)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I am home with my man. My house is mostly back in order, Chaney doesn't do well on his own, he is a bit messy ;) and I am still worn out from the last 3 weeks but I am thankful for every moment and just feel so incredibly blessed, humbled, and filled up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Thank you Thank you Thank you Jesus for such an incredible time at home with my family! God you are good and give GOOD gifts! To YOU be the glory for every moment. Amen.*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh and I am now 26 weeks pregnant.</div>

<br />
Allow me to explain:<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago Chaney and I drove up to Wiliston and Watford City, ND, where all the big oil boom is happening. And let me tell you, it is like a 3rd world country in some aspects. There were way too many moments when we were there that I thought of Uganda. It also makes me think about what life was like 100+ years ago during gold rushes....the way people live is like a modern day gold rush, maybe that's why they call oil "black gold".<br />

Chaney and his truck (it's not running yet because it is too wet up there--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hauling gravel, dirt roads and rain don't make for very good trucking conditions)</div>

Seeing this "food truck" was definitely a Uganda moment for me. Especially because just before </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we saw this we had pulled up to a "cafe" that looked like a small hut type thing and it ended</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
up being one of these trucks with a "sitting area" (more like a wind break) built in front of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is parked by a bunch of warehouses and mobile homes in red dirt (there is </div>

is red like Uganda.)</div>

The water out here is not very good. It has a rotten-egg smell and metallic taste, so most people out here buy water. We have been buying water at the store but recently learned that at the state park (just 2 miles away) there is a spring where lots of people drive 20+ miles to come fill up their water. So we have decided that water 2 miles away and free sure beats $1.30 and 20 some miles away. </div>

<br />
I've been to many brandings throughout my lifetime, none in Montana, but I've never been to one quite like this.<br />
<br />
Instead of roping the calves and dragging them over to the "fire" to get vaccinated and branded the boys (Chaney and Kelly -- ranch hired hands, and two teens from Ekalaka) worked in pairs to grab them with their hands and drag them out of the pen. Also known as "wrestling". And wrestling it was!<br />
<br />
Some of these calves were about the size of some the men. But they got them all done and there were no big wrecks or anything. Just a few bumps and bruises and some very hungry tired men!!<br />

In other news, yesterday was SUPER windy and everyone south of Baker lost power for the day. So I spent the day at the ranch with Torey since she had some power thanks to the generator.<br />
<br />
Today finally rained, so far ALL day!!! What a blessing. We needed it pretty bad and I love the rain! Our little cow dog also loves the rain and her fluffy hair looks pretty funny! The bird dog however, hates the rain or any weather that isn't sunshine...<br />

So here is the update as of late:<br />
<br />
The weather has been GORGEOUS lately! I LOVE it! I have been spending my afternoons sun tanning in the back of my dad's flatbed (I don't have a yard so it works haha) Gotta get this baby belly brown :)<br />
<br />
Baby is growing. Finally starting to look prego at 19 weeks hehe! And I can feel baby move now so that is really fun!!<br />
<br />
Chaney has been working super hard! Sun up til sundown almost everyday. But he just informed me that if he keeps this up he'll have a six pack. ;)<br />
<br />
This past weekend we looked at a ranch to possibly lease after this job is done. Chaney really likes it, looks like a good opportunity. The house needs a lot of work though, so with a baby on the way I am a little concerned about that. But God is in control and has always taken care of us so we are trusting. As my mom and sister put it, my first house was huge. Now I live in a mansion. So next I need a castle! haha. (I would be happy with something a bit smaller as long as it is in good condition)<br />
<br />
I had a doctor appointment last week and that was fun. I love my doctor and love hearing my little baby's heart beat! :)<br />
<br />
Other than that, things have finally settled into a routine and we are just enjoying our time here. It's difficult to invest in friendships and a community when we know that in about a month and a half we are leaving, but I have been fortunate enough to make a few friends, even though it'll be harder to leave it's worth it to spend my time getting to know them.<br />
<br />
OH! I almost forgot, I have been milking the milk cow at the ranch with the other wife, Torey, and it is so much fun! I am not drinking the milk, but everyone else is. I am learning what I can about raw milk and making butter and all that fun stuff. Someday I want my own milk cow so I thought this would be good practice. We can't milk Trudy (the cow) for ten days though because they are giving her some medicine for her bad quarter. That is okay though. It is usually a race between us and the calf to see who can get to Trudy first (the boys keep them separated during the day and turn them in together at night however they don't always tell us when they are putting her in and the calf will suck her dry before we get to the barn) so the calf is probably pretty happy these days!<br />
<br />
Also, our truck in ND is finally legal and has, what looks like, long-term work. This trucking stuff has been a long process and frustrating but hopefully now it will start to go more like we planned. It has been a major learning experience. We are thankful for the opportunity to try something new though.<br />
<br />
Lastly, yesterday Chaney felt like he was getting really burned while he was working and without any sunscreen handy he decided the best option was to put mud on his arms. Yes, he used mud as sunscreen. So I HAD to take a picture to share.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Other than Easter and a growing baby...Chaney has been working a ton. Close to 12 hour days 6-6 1/2 days a week. It has been good. He enjoys the work. Likes the bosses and the other hired guy. It is such a blessing to have my man working somewhere he enjoys :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As for me, I have made a couple friends...one I actually knew before we moved here. One that is the sister-in-law of a friend I've known for awhile, her name is Sadie; she is also preggo with her first and our due dates are only days apart. The other girl that I have befriended is Torey, Oakley's mom. It has been so great getting to know these gals and spend time with other women. BLESSING INDEED!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We've also been attending a church in Baker (about 20 min away) it's a good fit for us for now and everyone is kind and welcoming. :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've also been trying to walk several times a week down my long driveway. It's been wonderful to be able to get outside. For the most part the weather has been GORGEOUS and for that I am extremely thankful. this week is a little more on the chilly side but I am not complaining. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think that is about all that's been going on out here. But it's been good and we are loving life! :)</div>Lashae Bowenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00209909194502312877noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3143543103994459637.post-15210551519155877022012-03-08T07:24:00.000-08:002012-03-08T07:24:08.814-08:00pictures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>that, up on the hill, is our new home...</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
In the last two months, Chaney and I found out that we are going to be a mommy and daddy come September!! We bought a semi and a belly-dump trailer to send to North Dakota to work in the oil fields. Chaney quit his job in Lincoln. He found a new job in Ekalaka, MT (it's way east, almost North Dakota and not far from Wyoming.) We moved, a 9 hour journey. (and it took several trips, with cows, a boat and the house stuff. lots of stops.) Our first doctors appointment was on our 7 month anniversary and we were able to see our baby!!! (so sweet. so cute. so wiggly!) And our truck finally made it to North Dakota. It also had quite the journey to make, from Missoula, back to Oregon to get the trailer and then on to ND. plus the driver is from Oregon...<br />
<br />
But now we are finally here. Starting to settle down. Our new house is 3 stories and sleeps over 20 people....it's actually a hunting lodge. So for the next 3 months we will be living here, in what I like to call "our mansion".<br />
<br />
As some of you are probably wondering....what is Chaney's new job? Well he is here at the Medicine Rocks ranch to help with calving and AIing. Then in 3 months they won't need him and we will probably be on this moving adventure again...thankfully lots of our stuff will stay packed due to the fact this house has everything we need basically.<br />
<br />
Well I think that about sums up our crazy life in the last 2 months. Sorry I don't have pictures. My camera is dead and the charger is packed somewhere...but Chaney's phone has a few I will try to post when he gets home.Lashae Bowenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00209909194502312877noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3143543103994459637.post-79469707861606453612012-01-05T15:09:00.000-08:002012-01-05T15:09:16.674-08:00Working CowsToday we had to work cows. Basically we had to bring them all in to the corrals and "preg check" all 175 (or so, I don't keep track) plus vaccinate them. Then we needed to vaccinate and "tatoo" all the 60 or so heifers.<br />
<br />
Now, I will tell just about everybody that I enjoy working cows. It is fun to be outside sorting cows, working the chute and mostly spending time with all the people that come to help.<br />
<br />
HOWEVER, at the same time, I tend to somewhat dread this process. Here is why: no matter how organized you are, how perfect your facilities are, how much help you have it always takes much longer than <strike>"expected"</strike> hoped. Something always seems to go wrong, cows get out, you forget half your supplies, it's freezing cold, raining, snowing, tornadoes, all of the above. There is just usually some sort of problem.<br />
<br />
So today we started this whole process about 8am. Chaney went out and fed the cows right in the corrals so we wouldn't have to saddle horses or have a whole crew try to bring them in.<br />
<br />
Then the vet showed up about 915 or 930, early. But we were ready to go. We started sorting cows into the barn and keeping the alleyway full so we didn't waste anytime.<br />
<br />
The facilities out here aren't the best. Cows always seem to find a hole or bust a gate or something. So it is a little tricky getting around. I was kind of the middle man today. I had to make sure the alley stayed full which meant moving cows ahead. Shutting and opening gates. Climbing over panels. Bringing more cows in. Climbing more panels....let's just say I got tired pretty quickly. (Oh and did I mention I've been doing these INSANITY work outs and my whole body is so sore I can hardly move??? -- just a small detail)<br />
<br />
But we kept things moving right along and I will say that today went exceptionally smooth!! We were finished by 1pm! Isn't that amazing?! I was shocked.<br />
<br />
Besides the extreme ice that is all over this ranch, the "open" cows (which there was only 11!) busting down the gate and getting in with the pregnant cows, and running out of one vaccine, today was about perfect. Everyone was really helpful and knew what they needed to do and where to be. The vet was super fast. And the weather was even decent.<br />
<br />
On a side note, it is now freezing outside, super windy and getting dark (we got done just in time!) oh and Chaney may or may not be out there trying to sort out the open cows from the pregnant ones, but hey today was great. We will just leave it at that! :)<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> I love my parents more than I could ever express. Throughout my 19 years they have loved me, supported me and cared for me. They have been there for every big moment in my life. They are my biggest fans and I know that no matter what they will be there. In 22 years they have had 6 kids. Adopted one from Uganda and taken in many others. Their home is a revolving door. Anyone is welcome anytime of the day. They know what it means to love your neighbor as yourself. During their 22 years of marriage they have been a beautiful example to all those around them. People (including myself) look up to them and follow their example of commitment, love and encouragement.</div><br />

He works harder than anyone I know. He loves deeper and more passionately than I can comprehend. He is a goofball and leader. My dad would do anything for those that he loves - whether a friend, neighbor, child or his wife. I admire his strength and courage. But what I most admire is his child-like faith. He knows and loves the Lord with all his heart, mind, soul and strength. He is a prayer warrior and he is obedient to the Lord's call. I love my dad!</div><br />

She can make me laugh like you wouldn't believe. She is understanding, compassionate and BEAUTIFUL! Even in the midst of labor she looks lovely (she has set the bar high). My mom is a mom to many. Yes, she has several children but so many others look to her for motherly love, comfort and advice. Those she loves have absolutely no doubt in their mind that she loves them. My mom has an incredible passion for the Lord. He calls her to things far beyond he comfort zone and yet she always says YES! She has a perseverance that very few possess. Whether she is running, having a baby, helping out a friend, or praying for something/someone she sees it through to the very end, no matter how many mountains she has to climb. She seeks the Lord out in everything and her hope is truly in Him. I love my mom!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Together these two are unstoppable. Where one is weak the other is strong and they draw all their hope and strength from Christ. I can only wish that in 22 years, my marriage will be half of what theirs is.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

WINDY! SNOWY! And just a tad miserable. But of course today was the day we had to sort the calves from cows. The heifers from the steers. And the poor heifers from the good heifers. It was quite the adventure/mess. But we "got 'er dun." Having this project done is a big relief for my husband which is a big relief for me. Here are some photos of all the fun (I only had my camera for the end of the day...) :<br />

<br />
Charsie and I used to share a blog and when I tried to make a new one things got all messed up and I ended making two on separate accounts. So the first one I made was on my joint account with Charsie and this is what she tried to post to my blog, just the wrong one haha...<br />

This is Charsie, Lashaes younger, way prettier, way funnier sister. :) I was going to do a real blog on my own account that I have not been on in months and months (sorry for all those who want me too I obviously get distracted easily) when I noticed that Lashaes Blog is on here too! So I decided that she loves me enough that she wouldn't mind if I hacked it!<br />
This is fun!<br />
I am sure as Lashae is going to be reading this soon she will call me and or text me or comment and yell at me saying the following:<br />
Lashae: Charsie!!! Your Crazy! Stay off my blog!!!<br />
Charsie: Lashae! I love you! You want me to blog more?! Okay<br />
Lashae: NO! That is NOT what I said. You are WACKO<br />
Charsie: I love it when you call me wacko!<br />
Lashae: I know<br />
(and this is how are conversation will go for awhile and then we will talk about the weather, and Maezie, and her dogs and so on)<br />
I am soooooo hyper right now!<br />
I think this is more fun to hack then facebook!<br />
Okay, I think I am done. Hopefully Lashae sees this soon! If not I will be VERY confused when she texts me.<br />
Until next time,<br />
