An update...

Here is whats been going on in our "exciting" lives the last few weeks. Starting a few weeks ago, just after I found out we were expecting our 3rd baby Chase had his antelope and deer hunt one after another. I was expecting him to be gone 8-11 days. No, I was not happy about this at all but for those of you who have crazy hunters in your lives you know how it is. He and his brother both got their antelopes within a few days. EXCITING! Yes, honestly I was happy for them. Then came the deer hunt. After a few days of no luck Chase decided to come home and get me to go hunting with him. We left the girls with our friends Ashlee and Eric and had a night to ourselves in the woods. It was so nice to have some time alone without the girls even though in the evening I wanted to turn around and go pick them up. I missed them but it was good for us. Anyway! So we sat in the blind that evening for like four hours. For those of you who don't know what a blind is, let me explain. Its like a mini camouflage tent with an opening in it so if you see an animal you can shoot out of the blind and they wont see you. It was on a slope of a rocky mountain and you are sitting on your butts not allowed to make a peep or you might get your head bit off. Let alone the only "animal" we saw were daddy long legs everywhere! And did you know when you smash them they stink BAD. It was the sickest smell that I have just about ever smelled... Fun! So we never saw a deer but the next morning we decided to go elk calling. It was actually very exciting. We hiked into this HUGE valley and started calling for elk. We saw and heard a ton of elk calling back to us. We headed home later that afternoon. the weather was amazing so we decided to bring the girls back for the weekend. Ashlee, Eric, and their little boy Wes came with us. It was really fun. We got back Saturday late night and then we find out Monday morning Chase has to go to Texas for work because of the hurricane. I was pretty emotional about this. I hate having him gone and he was just gone for over a week. He was gone for a little over a week in Texas when I found out I have a uterine tear and I was put on semi-bed rest. The doc said no cleaning or heavy lifting for a while. This was not easy for me when I have two babies at home and no husband. I was staying at my mom and dads so I had lots of help there but it is not easy for me at all to have people help me. I was having a hard time with the whole thing. About a week after that Chase's dad flew the girls and I to Texas to visit and relax for a while. Thanks Dan! It was so nice to have a husband and daddy back. The girls about jumped out of their skin when they saw him. And of course my camera was in my luggage so I have no pics of that but it was so sweet. We stayed there for a few days and we all flew home last night. Its nice to be home. I was at my mom and dads the entire time Chase was gone. I am a baby and wont stay alone so we were all ready to be home. I have another ultrasound on the 15th to see how everything is going. Hopefully our lives will be back to "normal" soon but we are all doing well. I will post pics of the last few weeks soon! Sorry this was so long!
