Caineville

So we decided that before the snow came poaring down, we better take one quick motorcycle trip in our trailor, and try out Rusty's new yz 450 f YAMAHA!!! We went to caineville, where the blue clay hills roll. Rusty's cousins, Cole and Kamdon (AKA: Kurly), went and joined in on some of the fun. Surprisingly no one got hurt... we won't mention the almosts (COLE). So I decided to upload some of the fun. Rusty and I stayed for two nights, and his cousins had to leave a little early and only stayed for one night (babies). We had lots of fun cooking some good homemade potatoes and deer steaks for dinner, and enjoyed a full blown breakfast with pancakes, bacon and eggs cooked to perfection by me=) well they were almost perfect. I do have to say that Cole and I got some pretty cool pictures of our very own Dare Devil, Rusty Rich. Yes, it does make my stomach go into knots when I watch him jump, but he is very carefull and continues to get better and better at it. Hey, I even dared to ride our other motorcycle the yz 250 f. I looked like a mouse riding an elephant, but Derek would be so proud of me, I even went fast in the fourth gear. Yeah! I am such a Bad A**! But no jumping for me, yet.
The First photo is one that Cole took while he was laying in the sand and looking up at rusty as he came barelling over the hill and it was way cool because cole captured the suns rays shining from behind the pillar there to the left. On the second photo, I was laying underneath Rusty as he jumped over my body and would look down at me when I snapped the action in motion. Finally, the third photo was quite the nerve wrecking shoot, as the daring cole and kurly decided to form a goal post for Rusty to come hurdling through. I might say, they are still alive and no harm or death came to anyone while making this photo. So there you have our update of some family fun. Now maybe you will understand our joy that Rusty and I find in this activity where we can run away from home and find some freedom in being the little dare devils that we are.

Mrs. Witch & ANGELS

So my first graders thought it would be a blast to call me Mrs. Witch for halloween since we are learning how to rhyme, and Mrs. Rich rhymes with Mrs. Witch. So I had to praise them for being correct, and besides it was quite cute. I can't ever be mad or angry when I look into their inocent little eyes...

Also I thought that I needed to update everybody on everything that has happened in my life lately. Brace yourself...Ok I am ready. Well October 16th was our first baby doctor visit...and to make this short there was no heart beat. Rusty and I decided to wait a weak and then to go back to the doctor to see the progress. The baby didn't grow, it got smaller and so the doctor told me I would miscarry my baby. Well with my busy life we decided to have a D&C (surgery) to hurry things along, and that is the update. I am doing very good after surgery on October 24th. I went back to school this last week and taught. I really don't know why life has to take these courses other than we know that we are sent here to be tried and tested, and this is definately one of mine and Rusty's tests. Rusty has been so postitive through the whole thing, and I really don't know what I would do without him by my side. He WILL make a great father some day, it just won't be as soon as we hoped.

I wanted to thank my family and friends for the love and support that they have given me...I know that through our tests, we truely see the angels around us! I loved the talk in the last conference by Jeffery R. Hollands talk on Angels, he said: "I have spoken here of heavenly help, of angels dispatched to bless us in time of need. But when we speak of those who are instruments in the hand of God, we are reminded that not all angels are from the other side of the veil." Well my dear friends that are reading this, the mortal angels that he talks about have surrounded me during this trial in my life.

Rusty and I are doing the best that we can, and we really are doing quite well. I just pray that we can get prego again and that all will go well next time. I love all of you! Keep smiling cause Heavenly Father is watching.

Augusta and I being bathing beauties together. We had went to this park in Orem this summer and met as a family together, and just hung out. There was this fountain there with signs everywhere telling us to stay our of the water, and especially not to drink it??? But us Beagley's have selective hearing and selective sight...obviously. Well thought it was about time to upload some pictures. I learn something new every time I blog, it is slowly becoming addicting, and I always love to read the comments.

Bloomin Time!!!

Rusty and I found out that we will be adding to our family sometime during the month of May!!! We are so excited and have been wanting this to happen for about 2 1/2 years. Rusty hopes that it is a boy so that it will go hunting with him. Kyle threatened us with our lives, because he is just jealous and out-numbered with four girls in the house and him... Well all I can say is its about bloomin time!

Our Story: two Sunday's ago, Rusty came home to have some breakfast. While he was talking to me his buddy called him on the phone. So I decided with my spare moment to take a test (I have taken at least 15 of these before and never positive) so when the plus sign showed up, I just wanted to run in and tell him. But I had this planned for two years remember??? So I went and got a box and when Rusty got off the phone, I told him that I had bought him a present. He was like way shocked and didn't understand what was going on at all. So on the box, it said Willow Tree, and Rusty was like did you really buy me a willow tree??? And was way not excited. Well he opened it up and it is the statue of the daddy holding the baby and the mother leaning over the father's shoulder. Rusty looked at me and he said "What are you saying?" "Are you Pregnant?" And I told him to go and look at the test, so he goes in the bathroom and yells to me, what does it meen? So He ran out of the Bathroom with a big smile on his face and said "Your Pregnant aren't you?", and I nodded yes. And he gave me lots of kisses, and I better keep it G rated and stop there.............

So We are very excited and I am finally really sick TODAY! So Megan, you can stop being mad and jealous about me not have sickness, because its here...

Love you ALL!!!

Mrs. Rich

I have now stressfully been teaching for six very long weeks. I have 17 first grade students in my class, and they have the hardest time remembering that my name is Mrs. Rich and not Teacher. I started this job on August 18, 2008 in Bryce Valley Elementary School. It is so weird to me that the first week of school, all I wanted to do was quit teaching and find a career that I would actually know what in the heck I was doing. I love my class and am really getting attached (even to the non-english speakers, and the ADHD children). Well I pray everyday that I will know more of what I am doing, and what I should be doing. All I hope for this year, is that my first graders will know how to read at the end of this year... Maybe dreams will come true...!!! Thats my new news for the moment,

Mrs. Rich Signing Out!

THREE YEARS!

Well it has been three years. I can't believe it. March 25, 2005! Well on last Monday we went skiing at Snowbird! It is quite humorous actually. I haven't been skiing for over 5 years and so our first time out we just caught the tram that took us from 7,000 feet elevation to 11,000 feet elevation, My first mistake. I was so nervous! We head out and I see the slope signs, I kept telling Rusty that the Green slopes were easier than the Blue slopes. He told me it was the other way and I trusted him. My second mistake! So we start heading down "chips run"! It was not easy. It was actually mingled in with the Black diamond slopes (the hardest in the world). Neadless to say, It only took me a full hour to get off the mountain, my knees, thighs, calves, toes... everything was shaking and numb!

Eventually we found the green slopes (hense the woman is ALWAYS right!) and ended up having a great day! We were done pretty early though...

I love my husband more today then I did three years ago!
