Delilah Ann Qualset joined our family at 7:49 am.  She was 8 pounds 1 ounce and 19 1/2 inches long!  Please see her page for more pictures.

Mommy and Delilah's first moments.

Visiting with Uncle Billy Ray!

Billy Ray's football team (Western New Mexico University) came to Nebraska to play against Chadron State.  So we drove out there to watch the game and to visit with Uncle Billy Ray!  the kids were excited, but it was a long drive.  Then when we got there it was cold and rainy!  The kids dealt with it until half time when they dragged dad back to the car!  After the game was over and before his team left to head home, Billy Ray came out to the car to visit where it was warm!  The kids had a ton of fun with him.  They sure love their Uncle Billy Ray!

         

The car trip dragged on and on.  Good thing for the dvd player!  the trip was too much for Emma...the early start got to her a couple hours in and she fell asleep.

         

Uncle Billy Ray in the car.  Making Emma laugh.  Angel practicing her tackling.

         

Taking a break from rough housing.  Emma waiting for Uncle Billy Ray to get her.  Daddy making funny faces at mommy for making fun of his scruffy face!

Surprise!!!!!!!!!!  

We are having a baby!

That is right.  Our family is growing by one more member.   Baby Qualset will be here 16 Jan 2009 (or at least that is his/her due date!).   Mom is doing very well now that all the morning sickness is finally past. The pregnancy is doing very well and at the last check up the doctor said that everything looked wonderful and that the baby's heartbeat was very strong....even better than he expected! 

Unfortunately, this will be our last baby due to Mom's medical issues (see mom's update page. lol).  This is considered a very high risk pregnancy and we will be watched very closely.  We will keep everyone updated along the way.

Right now we are at 15 weeks and 4 days along.  Mom can't wait for the ultrasoud and is praying that they will be able to determine the sex of the baby.   No surprises here!!!!!  We already have names picked out.  William Straley for a boy (named after my great grandpa Will DuVall and Curt's grandpa Straley Bartee) and Delilah Ann for a girl (Mom just loves the name Delilah and was surprised to find that it is a family name as well!  Ann just goes nicely with it. lol)

Here are Emma and Kody being cute on the move!

 

We made it to Nebraska.  That's right, we finally are settled in and getting thing organized.  Things were a bit crazy on the move and we never would have made it without all our friends that helped us!

 
We would like to say thank you to all those that helped us with out move:
 
Kevin and Joi, JB, Jack, Ken, Brother Burton, President Kennington, and all the others (I know I am missing a few!) from church, who worked so hard helping us get the first trailer load ready to go and then coming back to help us get the UHaul loaded and with the last minute packing that we had.
 
Lynn, Darryl, and family, who went out of their way to help us with the horses.  They drove up from Nebraska to South Dakota just to haul our horses for us!  They were a lifesaver and kept me from being a wreck the whole trip.  I am so glad that I finally got to me you all (Lynn and Darryl are from our success page.  I have helped their family find horses!)
 
Thank you to the members from church here in Nebraska who came the first half of the move to help us unload the first trailer load.
 
Thank you to Mom and Dad Qualset and Zach for coming in the rain to help us unload the truck for two days!!!
Here are some pictures of our new home!

Outside pics:

     

The front walk.  Welcome, won't you take a look around?

    

The front of the house leading to the side yard and pond.

     

Here is the pond and some of the beautiful lillies in it.

 

The Beautiful Deck!

    

The flower garden!

         

Some of the beautiful flowers in the garden.

    

The house from the back.

    

Angel snooping around the back near the addition.

    

The yard on the south side of the house

    

The kids' play area!  More room than they know what to do with!!

     

The kennels, barn, and quonset.

 

Inside the house:

      

The entryway and the feed prep room (aka porch! lol)

   

The dining room and front room.

    

My new office!  The window looks over the barn and almost all parts of the horse pastures.  I may not get a lot done staring at the horses! lol

     

Our room, the bathroom, and the kitchen.

     

This is the addition which we use as the living room.  There are windows on three sides, plus a door to the deck, and check out the cool ceiling!

The first thing you see upstairs is....

Our awesome walk in closet!  It is the biggest closet I have ever owned and I don't have near enough clothes to fill it (even with Curt's clothes in it!). 

  

Angel and Emma's room.

     

Kody's room which holds the secret door to the playroom!

Here is the view from the end of the drive:

        

The long driveway!  The pictures then go from the driveway (facing south) going directionally to the west (2nd pic is southwest, 3rd is west, 4th is northwest)

         

View to the north, then northeast, east, and southeast.
