Halloween Dinosaur park style

Kathy & Parker came to town and we all went to the dinosaur park. It was FUN and decorated so cute for halloween. This rock wall is HUGE! Every pumpkin was carved and no 2 are the same. What a great place...what a great day.

We have FRATERNAL TWINS

It is true we have fraternal twins. A boy and a girl. They are cute, cuddly, take care of themselves, sleep through the night and love to be wrapped in a blankie and held. Okay so technically they aren't twins but brother and sister, however they were born on the same day from the same litter. Easton chose his kitty because he LOVES Figiro on Pinochio and named him Figiro too. Mason just loved his and named it Pinochio (AKA Coco as he says it and so we do too). They are cute and playful. It is so fun to watch their personalities. FIG is all boy. He sneaks up on Coco and pounces her. He even prowls in the grass and hunts the kids. He climbs the tree and loves the toys. Coco is sweet and mellow. She plays too but not quite as aggressive. She likes to swat at a string, or swat at the jingle bell ball. She loves to be wrapped in a blankie like a baby.

They are our first real pets. We have our fish too...Oscar and Plako but the kitties are different.

So far we have been LUCKY

Somehow we have managed to dodge the FLU bullet. Right now 3 of Garet's family members are infected. Meag keep your distance I really want to see you this weekend. Charlotte I hear had it, and we were really lucky to have missed that bullet. We were together at the dinosaur park and she shared my boys water bottle. That night she started with a fever and the next day they took her to the ER. She is okay and doing great. Then one of my family members may or may not of had it. She went to the doc. who said she had it, but didn't test for it, but her symptoms didn't match any of the symptoms acording to the CDC webpage. Who knows...but I am feeling lucky or should I say BLESSED. I hope we can keep this up.

2009 Halloween BASH!

I got to hold our yearly halloween party this year. My cousin Alisha started the tradition and has held it for the past 4 years. This year she and her family were in between homes and so I got the chance to have the party at my house. It wasn't as great as hers but we had a BLAST! We ate, played the balloon game, had a spooky story and had to feel the remains of a dead witch and laughed and laughed. It was a lot of fun. Thanks to all of those who came. This year we got to have some new friends of ours from New Zeland come to our party. It was a new, crazy experience for them since they do not celebrate Halloween over there. They are the couple dressed as a witch and the scream guy. It was fun to introduce this holiday to them. Sally and Jace if you come back next year to the ranch we will do it again.

Happy Halloween to all!!

Swimming with Grandma Kathy at Grandma Clo's

Kathy asked us to meet in Logan at Grandma Clo's house and play. We had a great play day. We swam in the pool, ate yummy lunch, and played. Before Easton would jump to Grandma he asked her if she was a good swimmer and made her show him how she could swim. She taught them some good swimming skills, and swam and swam and swam. They all loved it. It was really fun. We love you and thank you for a great day.

Shiver ME Timbers!!

This email is rated PG13 for strong language SO BEWARE!

If there is one thing I HATE in this world these nasty creatures are IT! I know hate is a strong word but I can definitely apply it to all spiders...THEY ARE NASTY!

This guy has made a BIG web outside one of our windows and we get to watch it. I first saw it when I climbed the ladder to replace a bulb, and just about died. My boys think it is great and love to check on it. They climb onto the bathroom counter and look out the window to see if it is still there. So now it has become like Charlotte's web.

I looked it up on the Internet and found out that it is a garden spider. They carry all there babies in the big shield on there rear ends. They die in late autumn and the babies live on. So I need it GONE soon. I definitely do not want a breed of those nasty critters around.

Also we have been dealing with a few funnel grass spiders and I am positive I have identified some hobos around too. I have only had like 5-6 in my house but that is WAY too many for me. The hobos and Grass are aggressive too. They seriously charge right into you when you try to kill them. It is very SCARY! My skin is crawling as I write. I am trying to be brave and not scream and freak out when they are around, I just squeal and wince. I don't want to pass my fear on to my boys. Easton tells me they are nice and good. He says we should just pick the up and put them outside. I say if they come into my house they will be sprayed or smashed, as long as they are outside they are fine, but they are not welcome inside. HMMMMMMM YUCK.

HOBO (the grass looks very similar)

BOTTOM LINE... I HATE, HATE, HATE them with a passion.
