Time For An Update

So its been a while, as always. I seem to really only have something to write when there are big updates. Im afraid that I inevitably miss lots of important things because i forget about them by the time I actually blog. So i guess i need to update you all on work, Brooklynn, and life.

The farm is always crazy and busy. Ben has taken over alot of responsibility and extra tasks over the last few months. All the cow work for the season has finally eneded as they have all been bred and taken to pasture. So that removes a big job for   Ben until fall when we bring them home. Cows have been a steady job since about February when calving started, so its nice to have it finally done. But now is the season of 16+ hours every day with irrigation and harvest and fall prep. So really cow stuff isnt really done, cuz they have to still clean up the feedlot and get stuff ready for fall. Ben hardly gets to see Brooklynn very much because he leaves for work before she wakes up and gets home long after she has gone to sleep, very often after I have gone to sleep as well. Its hard on him, and its hard on us. But he does it anyway, usually without complaint. Im the one who secretly complains.

Well enough of the boring lol. Now we need some pictures!! Brooklynn is as cute and crazy as ever. She is 19months today, crazy!!!! She is so flippen smart, I truly cant believe it sometimes. She counts to ten, knows colors and shapes, knows about a million songs, knows all the kids' names in nursery, is a little chatter box and talks constantly!! Her new "cute" is playing hide and seek.... she covers her eyes and yells "mommy, where are you? Ready or not, here comes!!!!" It makes me laugh every single time. She also says "yes sweetheart. Yes monkey butt. Yes sweetie pie. Yes dear," just some of the responses she gets from various family members lol. I still cannot tame her crazy hair, but it doesn't surprise me (mine was worse)! She can also speak spanish lol! She says "hola, como estas? Muy bien!" My dad taught her in a matter of hours in honor of Ryan and Jessica being on spanish speaking missions. Its pretty cute. She also likes saying the blessing on the food, and is usually the one reminding us that we haven't prayed yet at meal time, and snack time. And as always.....obsessed with Barney!!!! Again, just like her momma :-)

And its a good thing she can sit in front of the tv and watch Barney, because it lets mommy sit and rest! Growing a baby is always a tiring job :-)!!! Yup, we are expecting baby #2! We got pregnant the month after our miscarriage, making this baby due December 18th! Man, can i time it or what!?! Thats only 2 days after Brooklynns due date! Looks like i could get another Christmas baby, or Christmas eve or boxing day baby ^_^ December is shaping up to be a very expensive month for this family. This pregnancy has been really good so far, with only a little bit of nausea and some recent dizzy spells. The first trimester was scary and stressful after our recent loss, but everything is perfectly fine, and baby girl is growing right on schedule!!

Yes, its another little Huber GIRL!!!!! We had our ultrasound on Thursday and she looked great! It will be lots of fun for Brooklynn to have a little sister and friend to play with! And it will help with the Christmas costs because I dont have to buy anything new, except a double stroller that im drooling over! Im nervous about having to little rugrats, especially since Brooklynn is so crazy and active. But she likes babies, and takes her dolly around with her everywhere. Im trying to get her to help mommy more so that she is a big helper when baby comes. The good thing about our bad timing is that it is actually great timing for having a baby for a farmer/rancher! Our only down time for work is between Dec and Feb, so it works out great, cuz ill have ben around more for the transition and adjustment. We are so excited! Now to just find a name.......oh joy! We had so much trouble with Brooklynns name, and had a dozen boys names for this time, but no girls. Oh well, we have 21 weeks to figure it out :-)
