Kaia loves the book about road construction called "Easy Street." She was reading it to all of us over and over this weekend, and Travis thought we should have a video! Her favorite line in the book is "roll it down, make it flat." Kaia is very interested in books, just like Sophia was! Unlike Sophia, Kaia drags a step stool to the bookshelf in order to make sure she can pull every single book off of all three shelves when the mood strikes her. :) Never a dull moment!JGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00900842731878865757noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404162687419295140.post-81152189868736119882014-10-24T11:23:00.000-07:002014-10-24T11:23:08.162-07:00Summer Photo DUMP!

This summer it was so fun to have Sophia really reach a place of independence on horseback. We enjoyed so many beautiful trail rides around our home!<br />

August 1st Sophia's good friend Finley came and we had our first sleepover experience... it was a late and super fun night! Finley has unfortunately moved to NY since... Sophia's last favorite little friend, Faith, moved to Minneapolis... and of course our favorite (local) friends left for Alaska a few years ago. Our whole family is attracted to people who leave this place! <br />

Mid-August we were so lucky to have my parents visit for a week!! I didn't take enough pictures! :( This was a fun visit with all the grandparents... unfortunately the first two pictures are the best, except for Ralph having a pacifier in his mouth. When Travis goofs off I know which side that behavior comes from!<br />

Ok this is soooo dorky... I took this pic very late one night when we had a terrible storm and tornado/hail warnings. We had JUST finished renovating our kitchen and I thought I'd better take a picture in case the house got wiped out! Ha! Luckily the storm passed just south of us. I will hopefully get some before/after pics up soon! This was quite the project... it took a lot more time (and money) than I expected. We are very happy with the end result!<br />

I am waaaaaayyyyy behind on the blog photos, but thought I would start out with a new-ish post: pics from Kaia's 2nd birthday! I lucked out and found an adorable pumpkin patch up by Grand Forks (where the in-laws live!)... since Kaia is too young to have many friends of her own we wanted a venue close to her family. :) The pumpkin patch was great fun for the cousins, and it turned out to be a beautiful fall day. :) Her birthday was actually on Friday, Oct 3; but that was a busy day of work, quickie party at Tutti Frutti, and then 1.5 hours of gymnastics. We had her party the day after!</div>

This weekend Travis and I enjoyed our first "date night" in about 6 months (and not sure the last date night really counts, since we were with family)... it's our first date night alone since I was pregnant. I mean, I'm pretty sure we must have had a date night when I was pregnant. I can't remember one. The last night date night I really remember was when we drank a whole bottle of wine at an upscale eatery and then hit the town, and that was definitely BEFORE I was pregnant. Anyway, the point is, this was a long time coming! Travis' parents took the girls on Friday. Then after work I ran home and we dressed upand then hit the Fargo street fair with NO kids in tow!! After that we went to a burger joint called Sickie's Garage (they sub a veggie burger)... SO good! They make all kinds of crazy burgers. I had a "jalapeno popper" burger with jalapenos, a sweet chili sauce and a cream cheese spread. YUM! And sweet potato fries and micro brew... food heaven. Travis had a "tater tot hot dish" burger and a "Philly cheesesteak" burger. We were there pretty late, and then hit a local bar in Glyndon for fun on the way home. Kind of an anticlimactic end since the bar only had a handful of sad-looking locals, but Travis and I whooped it up with darts and an arcade hunting game. </div>

After a brief rest with grazing and a picnic the horses were super feisty and we did some hand galloping on some of the more open trails! Hence the very sweaty horse. So fun. I mean, I was singing and yelling yee-haw a lot. That's how fun it was! ;)</div>

At the end of our ride! The trail head had FILLED with horse trailers by the time we left around 2, so I'm glad we got there at 9am and had the place to ourselves for so long! We can't wait to go to Maplewood again. What a treat! </div>

We had SOOOO much fun at the Clay County fair this year! I felt a little guilty about not taking the kids to the big Red River Valley Fair in Fargo (that was happening at the same time!), but I quickly got over the guilt when I realized what a perfect fit our little county fair is for our young family. :) My one big mistake? Not predicting that my 20-month old would want to go on all the rides with her big sis! I bought Sophia an unlimited ride bracelet in advance, but hadn't expected Kaia to need one! Next year I will know better.</div>

Towards the end of the evening we headed into the grandstand to catch the tractor pull, which I LOVE! This farmer was so intent on winning that he pulled right into the outhouse, and the outhouse got stuck on the weights on the front of his tractor! It was sooo funny. Another tractor ran into the fence. Maybe they should have given them some more space??</div>

Sorry... picture overload of Sophia running barrels. She had a blast! She is really into trick riding though, and you can see her pulling up her legs in the pics... she was trying to do tricks. We have to work on focusing on the task at hand! Right after she finished her run she stood on the saddle, which they generally frown on at 4H sanctioned events. ;)</div>

Sorry these are out of order; I used both my camera and phone! I can't even describe what this ride felt like. We were walking and trotting and Sophia was handling her horse like a pro and Kaia was almost angelic. When Kaia fell asleep at mile 3 I occasionally just closed my eyes too and felt the rocking of the horse and Kaia's soft little body puddled in my arms and the sun and the breeze... total heaven :)</div>

I have issues with my lengthy title and its questionable lack of punctuation. It's a catch-all title for a catch-all kind of job! So, for anyone who has ever wondered what it is I officially do all day (you would have to be VERY bored to wonder about this!) here is the official description:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0in 0.25in 0pt 0in; tab-stops: 7.5in;">
A Veterans Benefits
Coordinator requires extensive knowledge of community and government service
delivery systems, and knowledge of and ability to interpret and correctly apply
laws, rules and regulations; such as those contained in the “38 CFR” (Code of
Federal Regulations) and the “M21-1MR” (Compensation and Pension Manual
Rewrite), pertaining to veterans’ claims and entitlements, as well as the
ability to conduct research and effectively procure evidence for the
development of claims. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0in 0.25in 0pt 0in; tab-stops: 7.5in;">
This position performs
Needs Assessments and determines which State, Federal, and non-profit benefits
the veteran is entitled to, and performs application for identified
entitlements and programs, and provides lifelong case management of the
veteran’s benefits pertaining to housing, healthcare, and financial stability.
This position also specializes as the case manager for death benefits, burial
benefits, and widow’s benefits. <o:p></o:p></div>
<o:p> </o:p><br />
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0in 0.25in 0pt 0in; tab-stops: 7.5in;">
A Veterans Benefits
Coordinator must adhere to VA and county data and privacy laws, and is required
to complete VA “Training, Responsibility, Involvement, and Preparation of
Claims “ (TRIP) training and national NACVSO training in order to be Nationally
Accredited; enabling this
position to submit and track VA claims electronically. This position will be
required to participate in various trainings and workshops throughout the year
in order to support the Accreditation requirements and to be able to perform
needs assessments and identify all applicable benefits and execute applications
for said benefits with the highest level of competency and the greatest success
rate possible. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<o:p> </o:p><br />
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0in 0.25in 0pt 0in; tab-stops: 7.5in;">
A Veterans Benefits
Coordinator is responsible for training, supporting, and directing the
Administrative Assistant position. The Veterans Benefits Coordinator also
manages the initial screening, orientation and training and provides oversight
for the volunteer staff. </div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0in 0.25in 0pt 0in; tab-stops: 7.5in;">
</div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0in 0.25in 0pt 0in; tab-stops: 7.5in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">...It's 1 part Administrative Assistant, 2 parts Legal Secretary, and 3 parts Social Worker! I never would have imagined myself doing this kind of work (I was supposed to be a famous writer!), but it has been an incredible experience, and every day is different! I am so grateful to have a challenging and rewarding job... otherwise I don't think I could justify/bear all of the time away from my family. So there it is! I will be issuing quizzes to all my family and besties! (JUST KIDDING) :)</span></div>

Due to the 4th holiday, and the 4H show at the fair being the following weekend, we booked Sophia's "kids party" on Saturday June 28, even though her birthday wasn't until July 8! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was the best "kids party" we have done yet. We invited her whole class and some neighbors, and just the right number of kids (15) attended. I was pretty laid back and did minimal decorating and almost NO food prep... Sophia requested cheesecake variety platters from Sam's Club so I didn't even make cupcakes! </div>

So fun! This weekend is the 4H fair extravaganza. Travis and Sophia are working the fair food stand right now. Then tonight we'll all go the fair to hang out and eat greasy food and take advantage of Sophia's unlimited rides bracelet, and then we'll be back tomorrow morning for the Cloverbud horse show. Another busy weekend!</div>

We had some bad storms last week. I think this one rolled through on Wednesday. It's always fun to watch them LEAVE out over the prairie. :) The storm in these pics actually made funnel clouds and generated tornado warnings in the town (Barnesville) 10 mi south of us. More storms coming this week... it's the season!</div>

The weekend weather cleared beautifully! Sophia had her pre-4H horse show in Barnesville all day Saturday. Our friends and fellow 4H family, the Olsons, even came out to cheer for Sophia during her barrel race! This was a GREAT show with a wonderful visiting judge who gave lots of great tips. Sophia tried many events: showmanship (halter), horsemanship, barrels, keyhole, pole weaving, and jumping figure 8. As a Cloverbud 4Her she is required to be on a leadline, but it was a very slack line and she did much of the reining. I was very proud of Sophia for being VERY confident and kicking Sunny like crazy... I was always cautious about running too fast with them, but Sophia just wanted to go FASTER! We ended up placing 1st or 2nd in all the timed games! </div>

Aaaaand... more flooding. This has been a crazy year! This is the road I usually take to work. We were tempted to try to cross the water, but then noticed there was quite a current, so we turned around! Hoping to dry out soon!!!</div>

Sooo busy! Every weekend is booked solid for us through about the middle of July. We started summer off with a crazy busy weekend: Sophia's last day of school was Wednesday the 4th, then she had ballet practice Saturday the 7th, dress rehearsal Sunday morning the 8th, Recital Sunday evening, her first soccer practice Monday morning the 9th, and then we flew off to FL later that afternoon! Whew! What a way to start a summer that is already looking/feeling crazy. </div>

Kaia with her Grandpa Ralph, waiting for the recital to start. It was so nice of Carmen and Ralph to come down Sunday evening for the recital! I sure wish they didn't have these recitals on a work night. :( Actually, ballet is okay with Sophia, but not her favorite, so I'm kind of hoping we're done with it. :) We'll see what she thinks when it comes up again next year!</div>

And here we are in FL! The first night we stayed with my mom's old grade school friend, Pam. We didn't get to their house until about 11, and then we all stayed up talking and hanging out until almost 2am! They let the girls pull out all of their grandchildren's toys and make a huge mess... they were the sweetest, most wonderful hosts!</div>

Not sure if you can see all the Grackles in these trees. I took this pic in late April, when we were really inundated by Grackles. We have very few around now.<br />

Travis was brave enough to take Sophia out on the dance floor. Sophia is very proud to be a very watered down Chippewa, from Travis' side. <br />

Some friends of our looked at a horse property close to our house, then swung by for a visit, then ended up staying for several hours. Ayden is Sophia's age, and they get along really well! The horse property they looked at had comparable buildings to ours, was less than half the acreage, was listed for $50,000 more than we bought our place for, and had 3 offers on it the first day on the market. It's amazing how much the market can change in 2 years!!<br />

Marathon weekend! The happy photos don't reveal the incredible stress. Travis was again in the hospital at this time, and his parents were basically living down in our territory helping me with the kids, visiting Travis, helping us get hay for the horses (of course they ran out of hay while Trav was hospitalized!), and participating in the marathon we had all signed up for months ago. These pics are from Thursday the 8th, when we were picking up our race packets and cheering for Sophia in the kids (1/2 mile) race.<br />

This is on Friday the 9th, when Carmen and Ralph and niece Jaylin ran the 5K. Jaylin ran with Travis' bib, since he had to bow out of that race, obviously. We were so glad Jaylin ran for Trav!<br />

Marathon day! Since these pics are mine there are no pics of me. :) This was after I ran the full marathon, waiting for Laura to hit the finish line. All of the little nieces and nephews were so good! I was fortunate to feel good enough to enjoy this family time. My first marathon I felt so wrecked. This one was still painful, but not as bad! <br />

Mother's Day. I was home along with the girls all day. We actually had a beautiful day together, and a nice visit with Travis in the hospital. It wasn't until evening when I started looking at FaceBook that I felt sorry for myself. I should have stayed off FB! I had no cards or flowers or breakfast in bed yaddi yadda, but I did have a lovely day with my girls, and that should have been enough. <br />

When we got home there was time enough to squeeze in a two mile trail ride and then we even transplanted all the tomatoes and peppers! It was a late night, but was still in the 60's at midnight (74 degrees when we went riding!)... you can't let temps like that get away! Happy Easter!JGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00900842731878865757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404162687419295140.post-48972630800784080482014-04-09T09:39:00.002-07:002014-04-09T09:39:58.156-07:00Happy SPRING!!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Spring has sprung! We lost all of our snow over the course of a few days. We have been desperately stealing every outdoor moment we can! It's like hitting an oasis after wandering for 6 months in a desert! We can't get enough of this warm weather! :) The above pic was a recent sunset view from the backyard.<br />

Sophia doggedly stretching the use of her winter toys. Winter was so miserable she hardly got to use her sled and shovel this year, didn't go snowboarding or ice skating, and we literally did not have a single day of good, wet snowman snow. We made one 6-inch snowman on the patio table using snow dipped in water. Pathetic.<br />

In fact, Kaia loves riding double-saddle and insists on holding the reins. When someone pulls her off the horse a tantrum always ensues. She also loves her rocking horse, horsey rides on mama, and pretending to ride anything large enough to jump on. I see Sophia doing horse shows, and Kaia doing rodeos. :)<br />

Sophia grooming Margie. Sophia is very natural with the horses, and she can usually catch any horse twice as fast as me or Travis. Um, not sure why she had safety glasses on. :)<br />

I AM A DORKED-OUT BIRDER!!! I have been in 7th heaven. All of our birds are back! Since we live on the edge of lake-country we have been lucky enough to recently witness HUGE migrations of geese, ducks, swans, cranes, and pelicans. Love it, love it! The above is our very handsome backyard pheasant.<br />

Another puzzle. This is a big thing right now. The awesome part of it is of course that Sophia loves them and does them completely independently. Quiet time!<br />

Sophia and Travis inspecting the end of our property. I have never been back there. Apparently there's an old little shed. We also have a stack of metal thingys in the woods and no idea what they are for. <br />

By the way, you can see all of our "blizzard" snow in the above pic. We were forecast to get 14 inches, and maybe got a total of 3. They even preemptively cancelled school! Whoops!<br />

This year marks a big turn-around for Sophia. She has now been riding for 2 years (since she was 3), but I would say this spring is the first time she has approached riding with great confidence. She and Pepper are doing great together, and are ready for the 4-H show season... which starts ramping up next month!<br />

A sunrise last week. Sometimes there will be this amazing row of fog across the prairie that gradually just rolls away. It's really fun to live in the country this time of the year! Life is feeling pretty great lately. Still very busy, but very good :)</div>

Of course our big news is Travis' surgery... He went to the walk-in clinic on March 10 after feeling sick to his stomach all weekend, they found he had elevated T cells and sent him to the emergency room, the emergency room took a C scan and found multiple internal issues as a residual of the car accident he survived 14 years ago, and then two days later he had major "open exploratory surgery" to correct issues too numerous to detail. He was in the hospital for 6 days, and is at home for the next couple of weeks getting better. I can't really describe what the last few weeks have been like. Tears. Lots of tears! Stress. The silver lining is that I think this incident has strengthened our marriage, and helped us realize that we generally take each other for granted, and that some things need to change. Travis and I are closer than ever, and even the girls seem to treasure him a little bit more. :) We love our Travis!<br />

Ralph and Carmen (Trav's parents) brought us 3 bales of hay, and dumped 2 of them in the pasture so I wouldn't have to worry about feeding the horses every day. They also took the girls the weekend of March 14, and our neighbors tended to our house pets so I could spend the weekend at the hospital with Travis. My weekend at the hospital involved lots of cuddling on the hospital bed (they are so big!) and watching movies and playing Scrabble on the Kindle and hanging out with nurses (angels) and coffee (is it weak coffee or strong tea??) and walking circles in the hall with Travis. It's the most "together time" sans kids we've had in 5.5 years! <br />

(Almost) all better! Travis still has a drain tube for his chest cavity and has a little difficulty breathing and is tired, but otherwise much improved. Notice Kaia and Sophia are sharing a pair of pjs?? They also share hats and some other clothing. Kaia is so big and Sophia is so petite! <br />

We had a few warm days with snow, and then the snow all disappeared. We don't get any warm winter weather when you can get out and enjoy the snow. Winter up here is horrendous, and then it's over. <br />

Sophia's class is celebrating her "Dia de Estrella," or her day to be the star, on Monday, and so I made a short movie celebrating her life. Take a peek! Depending on the mood I'm in this video makes me really happy or makes me feel like bawling. I may be biased, but I'm pretty sure Sophia is an exceptionally sensitive, lovely, amazing little person!JGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00900842731878865757noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404162687419295140.post-29306856571890685172014-01-24T13:51:00.001-08:002014-01-24T13:59:02.152-08:00January "Fun" and Our Grown Up Little One<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Well, this has been one heck of a month! On the home front things have been more than a little challenging. Honestly the winter weather is getting the best of me. We've had 3 blizzards in two weeks, and countless subzero days, including the -50 windchill day that closed the schools. The horses have been burning through feed (hay, alfalfa and grain) like crazy, I'm tired of hand carrying 20-30 gallons of water through a foot of snow every day, and the woodpile is dwindling fast. Would I move back to town? NO WAY! Is country living a bit more challenging? YOU BET! That's my rant! Fortunately, there are a few things keeping me alive. My marathon training is progressing really well (up to 10 miles and feeling great!), and I think exercising really helps me feel better. Also, the girls never seem to notice my winter blahs, and I have just been amazed by Kaia's sudden "growing up" this month. She began walking very well at 14 months, and is now running! She has also started to occasionally sleep through the night (!). We have had several "all-nighters," when she goes to bed at 10pm and wakes up around 9am. She does have a pretty bad rash right now that probably bothers her quite a bit, so I am wondering if she will be a solid sleeper once that goes away. Kaia also stopped nursing last month, which honestly makes me pretty sad. I VIVIDLY remember the last time Sophia nursed at 25 months of age. Kaia just started nursing less and less and, sometime right at the beginning of January (at about 15 months), she just never showed an interest in nursing again. Kaia is running, climbing, stacking, looking at books, playing independently, doing puzzles, self-feeding completely, NOT nursing, sleeping better, waving, pointing to body parts, following requests (like "put your shoes away"), plays lots of peek a boo and hide and seek, loving on her sister more than ever, and starting to talk! Her words right now are: mama, dadda, sis, nana (banana), da (dog), book, "quack" and "oo" (hoot for an owl)... I could be missing some too! I'll have to make a list this weekend! Anyhow, on with the pictures:</blockquote>

Our forecast for next week is pretty dismal (-18 is the HIGH on Monday?!), but I know if I can make it to the end of February everything will be okay. :) JGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00900842731878865757noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404162687419295140.post-49182450372225619992014-01-09T07:34:00.002-08:002014-01-09T07:34:35.329-08:00Christmas in Vermont!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We arrived in VT on Sunday, Dec. 22 night after 3 plane rides across the country (Fargo to Chicago--which was delayed an hour--to washington to Burlington). It was a LONG day, and when we finally arrived in Lincoln the power was out from the ice storm! We had a cozy supper of macaroni by lantern light, and then the power was restored just in time for bed. The next morning we were up and excited for a visit from my bestie, Ruth, and her son Joseph and new baby Nora!<br />

Sophia continued our old tradition of opening a gift from a relative on Christmas eve. She opened "Brain Quest" flashcards from Chris and Sammy, which she didn't act too overjoyed about at the time, BUT they have been a big hit ever since!<br />

Christmas morning! This was the most special tradition for me: opening presents on Chris' bed. When we were teenagers Chris reached a point in his life when he wasn't interested in coming to my room on Christmas morning anymore for opening stockings (our old tradition when we were little kids that enabled mom and dad to sleep in a little). However, Sky was still little (I think we were all about 15, 14, and 10) and excited and I was the sentimental big sis, so I just took Sky and brought him onto Chris' bed and MADE Chris continue the stocking tradition through the teenage years. Ever the sentimental big sis, I brought my little girls onto Chris' bed on Christmas morning, and we continued our Gale Children Tradition; quite possibly for the last time ever. <br />

Sophia was upset about the box breaking, but still tried to manage a smile. That box was a great source of entertainment in VT! It was her fort, her safe spot from Chris' hyper pitbull, and finally a sled. I reassurred her that there will be more boxes in her future :)<br />

On December 6 we had our annual office party! I was the official party planner/hostess/emcee/everything that night, so I didn't get many pictures :( I did get REALLY lucky with Kaia because she was more sociable than usual and didn't mind getting passed around! This was essential for lowering my stress level!<br />

On Sunday the 15th we went to our first "Ellen Hopkins" birthday party, at the zoo. It was pretty over the top! We all had a great time, and really enjoyed meeting more parents and seeing the kids outside of the classroom. I have some interaction with parents/kids through PTA and volunteering in the classroom, but there's nothing like a zoo environment to really cement new friendships!<br />

The zoo staff brought in some animals to play with, which was great because it was about 0 degrees. Travis and Sophia DID run outside to see some of the animals, and I heard rave reviews about the wolves and the eagles. I was not going out there though!<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Worn out! (Which reminds me, I need to do a post about sleep sometime soon. Sleep is not something that happens in our house for any of us, and I really sympathize with my friends who have babies and are also experiencing this. I want to reassure you that we ARE starting to see more frequent nights of solid sleep, but I treat these as little gifts and try not to be too optimistic that it will start to happen with any regularity because so far it hasn't!). </blockquote>
In other news, we have been very busy getting ready for our trip to VT! We leave on Sunday! This might be the last one for a long time, and I don't know about future trips during the winter. We have hired a house-sitter AND a neighbor kid to take care of our own little zoo. It's going to be hard for them to fight the snow and haul buckets of water for 4 horses, etc. It's very expensive and stressful for us to sort out animal care during the winter, so I just don't see it happening again anytime soon! We are really looking forward to this trip, and will treasure every moment.

Sophia stayed with her grandparents for TWO nights after Thanksgiving, and I was able to get some shopping done! I hadn't realized how much easier it is to shop with just Kaia... Kaia rode in the backpack all day and barely made a peep! Sophia was thrilled when she returned home to find that I had gone out and purchased this year's Christmas dresses :)<br />

Travis accidentally took short videos of us when he was actually trying to take pictures, and I think it turned out neat and am so glad to have a little video of me riding with my girl!</div>

I took this video of Kaia walking last weekend. Kaia started standing up about a month ago, and taking a step or two a few weeks ago, and now she is finally walking for fairly long stretches. She mixes her walking up with crawling and "bear-crawling" and cruising... another example of girl #2 being totally different from #1! Sophia didn't walk until 15 months, but she was running the same day she started walking, and never crawled again. Kaia has had a much more gradual transition, beginning around 13 mo (she's currently 14 mo). In a way I'm glad, because time has gone so much faster with Kaia that I need these more gradual transitions so that I can better cope with the growing up process!! :)JGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00900842731878865757noreply@blogger.com0
