A Post for October

I am doing great with the new energy I have about writing on my blog. I figure I better get one in for the month. I am sitting right now by a window that looks out on my backyard. I can't believe the leaves that are falling and there is definitely a "Fall" feel to the day. I love this time of the year and I also feel a little sadness to see the light fading a bit everyday. It is interesting to think about how attractive light is and how hard it is for some when there is not a lot of it around. I know I am one that loves the longer days. I know your thinking....... is there a reason for this post????..........well actually there isn't and lucky for you I have turned off the comments section so you will not have to feel obligated to leave a comment for such a lame post.

For all you that hate to see the light fade here is a bit of info that will cheer you up. It will get progressively dark until December 21st. After that date we will gain a minute of light everyday!!!!! Doesn't seem like much, but it gets me through the winter.

It's been awhile!

I know I am terrible at the blogging thing.........but here are some pictures

from our trip this summer. I know there are some typos, but I am not

about to fix them, it was frustrating enough to do the slideshow. Patience is

not one of my virtues. I will try to be better. I hope everyone had a terrific

summer also!

Oh, also.......I hope you love the music, it was this or $3.99 for some good music. I opted for

crap! Enjoy!

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Why?!?

I bet you will never guess how this happened?

I bet you thought it was from this.........



or maybe this.........
Quite possibly this..............

But no, it was this..........
Okay maybe it was more like this..........

He broke his wrist from jumping over a rope! I always thought it was going to be from bunny-hopping the bleachers at the Olympus, but again I am wrong. I would personally like to go around the neighborhood and explain this to everyone that thinks I am an idiot for letting my son ride a five foot unicycle, but instead they are going to assume it is from the unicycle. The worst part about this is when he gets his hard cast on and is able to actually ride the unicycle with the broken arm. Boy...... I am going to look like a bad mom!

Yep.......This Is My Sister!

My nephew Carson turned 5 today! He definitely had some"birthday attitude" going on. By the end of the night my sister Rachel was a little crazy. Don't get me wrong this is her normal craziness, but with a birthday spin. She definitely knows how to make me laugh!!!!!!

Before and After of the Hankster

And..............








Hank and his new summer haircut. I am always in shock when I pick Hank up at the groomers! The poor dog, he looks so vulnerable. When Ezra first saw him he laughed so hard he started to cry. I also do not know if I should laugh or cry!

Zoe is not a vampire

The other day Zoe was looking for some chapstick, I told her she could use mine, but she said no thanks. I asked her why and she said that mine has too much sparkle in it. I reminded her that she was fourteen and it was okay to wear a little lip gloss. She then told me that if Heavenly Father wanted her to have sparkly lips, He would have made her sparkly when she was born. Interesting..... all I could think about was that maybe Zoe should be a vampire and then maybe she would wear lip gloss. I am sorry if that doesn't make sense to all of you who haven't read or watched Twilight, but it makes perfect sense to me.

This makes me laugh!
