The "deer" hunt






Okay, so this week I have spoken to many of my friends and family who have been hunting. Well, they are not getting anything some are not even seeing anything. I had a brilliant idea.... I walked out my door and I took some great shots for you all. :) The shots are with my camera and not a gun but I thought you would all still enjoy the deer we get to enjoy every single day.

Anyway.... This week, I so don't even remember what happened. The boys had a short week. Monday Sid was out of school so..off to the dentist we go with him. Yes, more teeth work. That poor kid. Robbie is only in school on Mon., Tues., and Weds. and is out on Thursday and Friday. Thursday he gets to enjoy a day with me doing mom things, such as playgroup, cleaning, parent teacher conferences, getting things ready for scouts... HEHEHE I love making him come and do mom things. Friday, we met a friend for lunch. Had an awesome visit, then they came over and so did some other friends and we as adults got to talk while the kids played and played. thank you Annette and Tanya for a great Friday.

Saturday night was our Ward Halloween party. They have a chili cook off, carnival and then the kids get to do trick or treating. The boys have a blast going. We were a little hesitant about going since so many people around these parts have the swine flu. We went and we had a great time. Oh!! and my boys decided to change their halloween costumes. Kids.....

This past week I started physical therapy on my back and my neck. I was so sore that I really thought of stopping. I didn't and I am still going so I guess that is a good thing.

Kennen has worked a lot of hours this past week. I guess they think he needs to make up for the time we were in California. He is a great husband, father and provider. Thank you honey for working such long days for me and the boys. We love ya!

So the weather is changing. Today it is snowing outside. A great day to stay in and drink hot cocoa (which by the way helps fight of the H1N1 flu) and watch movies. Hope you are having a great Sabbath day. Have a wonderful week. Love you all!

VACATION (USS Midway, Legoland, Disneyland, Robbie's birthday)

Hello to you all. We are back from the 11 day vacation and we are trying to get back to a normal routine again. We had a good time our trip, glad we decided to fly instead of drive. We loved the 2 days in Legoland instead of the car. We took a ton of pictures almost 600 to be exact. I will make a slide show of some of them so you can see a glimpse of our trip.

We left Sat. Oct.3, 2009 at 5 am to catch the plane that left at 625 am. We left and all went well until we got to SLC. We changed planes and got going. Well we stopped on the runway for almost 3 hours. After waiting for so long they had to take us back to the gate and add more fuel and then the radio broke and by the time we got back to the runway they had lost our flight plans so they had to get them back into the system. It was a mess. We made it to San Diego finally, late to pick up the rental car. We are off.... First stop USS Midway, the boys love this big boat. So much to see and do. We had a great afternoon there. Off we go to destination number 2, the motel in Carlsbad. We pulled in and thought wow!!! what a nice place. They had the best beds and pillows I have ever slept on. Sunday, we awaken and head to Legoland for the day. Boys had a BLAST!!! We spent all day there and also all day on Monday. We found the best Greek food ever in Carlsbad, can't wait to go back there. Tuesday we woke up and loaded back in the car and off to Disneyland we go. Everyone was waiting for us, we seem to be the slow ones of the bunch. We spent Tuesday through Sunday playing at Disneyland and California Adventure. Thursday night we did the trick or treating which is so much fun.

Sunday was Robbie's birthday. We had a great time going back to both parks and catching the things we didn't do or the things we wanted to do again. I can't believe my baby is 10 that is so crazy.

Monday we flew home and yet again had a delay in SLC we were supposed to be in Casper at 9 pm and didn't arrive until 11 pm.

All in all we had a great trip. Thank you to Mom, Jack, Shad, Jenny, Drew, Emma and Luke.
