Life Lately

I haven't been good at blogging lately due to no longer having my laptop and just being plain lazy. Luckily, I have been writing in my journal consistently. For this reason this will mostly just be a picture update with commentary.


It is time to paint again at the Hartley Ranch. Every four years or so we paint the fence posts around the house, the cattle catchers, and the red calf barns and grain shed. It took us a few days to get it all done. Notice how the cats just followed us around. They got covered in paint all by their own doing.


We went to Rexburg to visit Chris, Echo, Travis and Sariah before Katelyn and I leave for our missions. 


We went to the sand dunes and played around and then had pizza. It was fun. 


We rented a 15 passenger van so we could all fit together. 


We also went to Yellowstone National Park. 







Last weekend we weaned calves. Justin Heggie came out to help because with Travis not being here they need the extra help. 


Yesterday was Katelyn and I's farewell. Chris and Travis surprised us by coming up. 


Katelyn talked on "The Role the Book of Mormon Plays in Our Lives" and I talked on "How Service Helps us Develop Christlike Attributes".

We won't see our cousin Jorden for almost 3 years. When we get home he will have left on his mission. 


Jared and Kristi 




Some of my Dad's siblings were able to come! Aunt Cindy, Uncle Tim and Aunt Bev.
