Sadly I Just realized that it has been over a year since my last post Shame on me I know. Well here is a very brief update on what has happened that i can remember since then.....
Josh was offered a job at Signal Peak Energy in Montana. So sadly we sold the dogs, the horses, and some of what we owned, loaded up dads trailer, and moved to Montana. One week previous to our leaving I gave birth to an amazing baby boy. Stetson Russell Arthur Hatch. He was born November 14 2011 ( i know three days earlier would have been very cool). He weighed 6lbs 14oz and was 20 inches long.

(dont worry the tree is only about 3 ft tall)

Josh left two days later on his own to our new home. A week later, the day before thanksgiving, My dad and my brother Branden drove my dads truck with the trailer of our stuff, and my mom and I loaded up the kids and followed in my car. We stayed the night in Idaho and finished our journey the next day. unloading our stuff and returning to Billings to have Thanksgiving Dinner at the Cracker Barrel. I wasn't impressed but itwas better than gas station food. When we arrived we were sorely dissappointed, as the "apartment" we had rented was horrible, sad, small, and scary. Thankfully we were only there about 6 weeks before we found a larger safter place that we love. We did have a small christmas there in that tiny rat hole, and i dont believe we've ever had a more humble holiday.

We started going to church and we've made a few friends. We live in beautiful house and we've made a few adventures this summer heading to the missouri breaks and catching some of the most amazing fish ever.

Now it is the first of September, Josh has been at the mine for 10 months and they are on the Longwall move right now. Time has passed by very fast for us, but it has been lonely with our friends and family so far away. also we havent had much chance to ride horses and the hunts are coming up, which sadly we will miss out on this year. but we've been very blessed and dont have much reason to complain.
I will be starting to homeschool the kids later this week and it will be another next experience for all of us so wish me luck!
