Never underestimate...

I can't believe I am telling this story, but I think that maybe it will help anyone who thinks that they know what their child is doing at all times. Well, every morning Shayda goes outside to play with our animals, and ride her bike, and I always stay inside getting ready for the day. I always check on her about every five minutes, and she is always doing the same thing. Well, yesterday I checked on her, and she was messing with Clete's K-9, so I told her to leave him alone, and I went back in. About five minutes later, Clete told me to go lock our pump shed, because Shayda has learned how to get into the shed, and into our freezer, and gets a Popsicle and hides to eat it. I went out to lock the shed, and realized that the door had been open, so naturally I thought that she was hiding to eat a Popsicle. I went to look for her, and she was missing. I looked in all of her usual spots, and she was just gone. I looked for about five minutes panicking the whole time that something fell on her and she was knocked out somewhere, or of the chance that someone took her. I went and got Clete, and he started looking and yelling for her. After looking for about 15 minutes total, we spotted her out in the field behind our house with our poodle. She was clear out to the next road, so Clete drove to get her. She said she was going to look for the frogs that her dad shows her when they ride horses. Keep in mind that we have 20 acres behind and to the side of our house, and we are surrounded by fields, but she has never left our yard, so I never even thought to look that way. I now know to never underestimate my child, on what she is willing to do without me around. In just 5 minutes she had gotten far enough away that I could not see her. Now I know that you cannot leave them alone and trust that they will stay around. She is definitely an adventurer. Oh ya, and she was eating a Popsicle!

Shayda's Bear!

This story got cut off my blog somehow. I put it back on because I have alot of people ask me about it. This is how far out in the country we live haha! One day Shayda was outside playing with the dogs when I heard her scream histerically. I ran to the door where I met her screaming that she had seen a ghost. I followed her outside to my old car where she said that the ghost was hiding under. I looked and saw nothing so I told her that there was no such thing as ghosts. She insisted that it was now a bear and it was still under the car. I gave up and decided to go back in when I saw my yorkie "Lily" barking at my passenger tire. I went to see what she was barking at when it hissed an evil noise at me. I grabbed Shayda and ran in the house to get Clete. When Clete came out, we popped the hood and found that there was an actual live badger behind the engine. Clete then shot the badger, and pulled it from the car. We are now having the badger stuffed so that we will always remember that scary day, and Shayda's bear. I can't believe how lucky we are. Someone was watching out for us that day.

It's a boy!

We found out on September 3rd that we are going to have a boy! We are so excited to add another member to our family. Our kids will be exactly 3 years apart, and Shayda is ready for a sibling. The day we found out, we asked her what she thought we were having, and she said a black baby. HaHa the things that kids say. I think she understands, but you never know.

I suck at blogging!

Hey guys, I am so sorry that I am so bad at this. I have not checked my blog in forever. Real estate is picking up so there is not much time. Also my camera is retarded so I can't get my new pictures on. That will come soon I hope. I have still been sick, and I will probably be for about 5 more weeks, but that is how it goes. I will find out what I am having in about 4 weeks hopefully. I can't wait! I don't care what I have as long as he/she is healthy, and maybe not as naughty as my Shayda! I just started working at a new salon. My old one closed thank goodness, and we are in a brand new one. It is beautiful. I now do nails, and spray tanning, and a little bit of hair braiding. I will put a pic up so you will understand what it looks like. I love it there because I am busy all the time, and I only work there once a week. I am trying to potty train Shayda, and she thinks its hilarious when she pee's her panties. Does anyone have any suggestions? I feel like I have tried it all. Hope I hear from you all soon.

Surprise! I am pregnant!

Hey guys, I just got a new laptop so maybe I can keep up on my blog. If you didn't get it from the title, then it is true, I am working on 10 weeks pregnant! I want to die because I am so sick. I have already been in the hospital with I.V's but I will get over it. That probably means another girl because I felt this way with Shayda.
On the other side of sadness, I know that you all heard about my sweet cousin Brooks passing away. His funeral will be on Saturday in Leamington, with a viewing on Friday at Nickle Mortuary. He passed away peacefully in his sleep from complications of diabetes. He was living in California. He will be greatly missed by all. We love and miss you Brooks!

New blog! Can you believe it?

Hello all, Can you believe that I made a blog? I can't promise that I will keep up on it, but I will sure try! Well, just to give a heads up on my family. My husband is Clete Carter, and he is a sherriffs deputy for Millard County. I am working as a Real Estate agent for Signature Real Estate, and doing nails on thursdays at a salon in Fillmore. Shayda is 2 1/2, and still as wild as ever. Shayda will be riding in the Days of the old west parade with her daddy, and she is so excited. I hope to see you all at the rodeo!
