Our new apartments :)

The back side of the apartments


This was our room, there was a crack between the floor and
wall where bugs came in

The girls room, the carpet was NASTY!

This is the wall between our rooms

Our disgusting bathroom, the toilet didn't flush very well.

Our living room, doesn't look bad, but the carpet
was disgusting, and the roof was caving in.

I didn't mind the kitchen, besides our oven didn't have a
temperature knob.  
Well, when we moved up here, as I said we only had one week to move, plus find an apartment and everything. On the way up, 4 of the 5 places that we had talked to rented out their last apartment. Lewistown had a major flood the day we left to head to utah, so people needed houses. We lucked out, sorta, and were able to get this apartment that sounded decent. It was on country club lane, so of course we thought oh, yay, it will be nice. Oh were we wrong. If we hadn't made such a drive I would have turned around right then. To say they were horrible is an understatement. The water was not drinkable, and Lewistown has the best drinking water in the USA. Not making that up, we really do! Anyway, we were only in them for two months, but that was enough. They were in an amazing location, and I do miss that, but the apartments were originally chicken coops lol. I will see what pictures I have. We cleaned that apartment so well before we moved, wish they were that clean when we moved in!

We lucked out and managed to move into these brand new apartments, which we are paying almost 100 dollars less a month for, with brand new everything. They are amazing. I do love the apartments, but want to be out of Lewistown.

First visit from my dad

When we first moved up here, my dad had been living in deer lodge for a couple of weeks, and when we moved here, we ended up arriving to late for him to really visit so about a month after we got up here, he was able to come visit for a couple days. We had a blast with him, and he got his first home cooked meal in a long while, since he was living in a motel. We drove around and showed him Lewistown and just had a blast. Kirra was so excited when he finally got here! Thats the hardest part about living here for me, I am 4 hours from my family, and we are really close. I have never lived this far from them, but hope to change that soon!

Look how blue the water is! Dad trying to catch a fish

So excited to see grandpa, she was feeding him

Jade deciding who this was
 We went to visit my dad a couple weeks after he came to see us, it was fairly close to the fourth of july and we made it in time to see the Deer Lodge parade, it was so funny watching kirra run for the candy! We went on a tour of the old prison in deer lodge, really awesome place to go see. Creepy, but kirra had a blast as always :)

Big move to Montana

Ok, so after Kirra had her tubes in, Chris went to work at Wal-Mart for the last time. He got an email saying he had a job interview up in Montana, so we took three days and headed up. We had a great trip and before we even left county they had called and let chris know he had the job and week to be up there. Well, you can just say that was a shocker to us. We had to get home to Utah, pack up everything and move in just 7 days. We got home and had to tell chris's family, not fun. Well after that we went home, packed and headed up to start our new life. My mom and brothers were already up there visiting with my dad, so they helped us move into our new apartment which was awful. Turns out it is actually being condemned now lol. It was so hard saying goodbye to my mom since I have never lived more than  45 minutes away from her and I just had a baby, jade us just barely a month when we had to make the move. Chris started work the day after we moved up here and is now officially a CNA. We have been in Montana for almost a year now, and I love it! We have made some amazing friends, had some fun times and have a new addition to the family on the way! We are hoping to be moving to Anaconda within the next few months before Rileigh gets here, but we will see how that goes :) I just want to thank everyone of my friends and family who have supported us being here even if they don't like it. I am going to post some pictures of where we are :)

Now, here goes my post of Jade Cambrie's birthday :)

Me and chris were in the process of moving into my parents house due to me not working when we found out we were pregnant again, and this babies due date was the 26th of April. To say the least, we were very suprised lol. Well, this pregnancy was going great until the last two months when I developed preeclampsia again. I was put on bed rest and the doctor wanted chris to be home with me so he was off from the beginning april tell a couple weeks after Jade made her way into the world. I was on bed rest again, trying to keep her in as long as possible and we made it to my due date :) My doctor decided to induce me on the due date for comfort and safety reasons. I was dilated to a 5 for almost a week before she came, and I was super uncomfortable. Well, we went in at 6 in the morning to being getting induced. When he broke my water, he had to physically move her up so that he could do it, which is probably the reason I had not gone into labor before. I was able to get my epidural almost immediately after we got there, and it worked great up until the very end when I could feel everything. It was a very fast labor as well with me being induced, she was born at 12:53 pm on the 26th :) She weighed in at 7 pounds, 2.5 ounces and 21 inches long. She was perfect until we got home. We went to my brothers college graduation when I noticed she looked yellow, so I called my dr and we met him at the hospital on a saturday, his day off, and her jaundice level was at 19. He sent us home with instructions to keep her on a bilibed at all times which I hated, and she was not such a fan either. It took almost a week of her on the bed before she had cleared all the jaundice. Then at the end of that, we had to take Kirra in to get tubes in her ears, but she did so great :) Then a week after kirras tubes, chris went to work when he got a call saying he had a job interview up in Lewistown, Montana for a job as a CNA and Montana Mental Health Nursing Care Center. Thats another story :)

Getting ready for tubes


Kirra Beth Francom

So, here goes my blog about Kirra Beth's birthday :) 


Well, I was due April 24th with her, but I was having some complications due to having preeclampsia. I had a doctors appointment on the 8th of April were we set up my day for induction, which was supposed to be the 12th. Me and Chris went home that night had our friends over for dinner and they brought their cute kids. I had been having some slight back pain all night, but didn't think anything of it. After our friends left me and chris just relaxed and watched a movie then went to bed. At four in the morning, I woke up thinking I had just peed the bed, when I stood up I heard my water break, it sounded like a huge balloon popping and was loud enough it woke chris up. He jumped out of bed and went running around packing the truck up while I called my mom and dad to let them know we were on the way to the hospital. I hopped in the shower just because I needed to calm down and feel clean. Chris wasn't very happy lol, but we made it to gunnison from richfield in about 18 minutes, chris was only speeding a little i guess lol. I get the hospital and get all ready to have the baby. I was already dilated to a 6, so I got the epidural pretty fast, and it worked amazing. My doctor was in St George when they called and said I was having the baby. He was amazing and got in his plane and flew to gunnison to be there to deliver me. I was not in any pain really, just relaxed visiting with my brothers and parents and hubby. I think I was in shock for the most part. When we finally started pushing, it only took about twenty minutes to push and have her out. She was born and 9:33 a.m. So only about five and a half hours of labor, mostly pain free. She weighed 6 pounds, 2.7 ounces. 19 inches long and just perfect! One of the best days of my life!
