Turtles

My mom sent this geneology picture. The turtles represent my family I love so dearly. My parents are the big ones with 10 babies behind them. Then the 10 lined out around them represent there children and their spouses with there kids behind them. They brought everyone home some turtles from Kiribati! I thought it was cute.

I guess I live in the hood...

Two weeks ago at 9:00 on a Sunday night I was sitting in the kitchen with my parents. We heard a loud thump and then a very loud shattering noise (it sounded like water freezing) coming from my back sliding glass door. I knew it had been shot so I was scared to look out there, thinking someone would shoot me too. My dad went out there though. We called the cops and basically figure it was stupid kids or a drunk deer hunter. Just my luck they hit my door. Oh well... here are some pictures. The glass slowly fell out over the night and next day.

Fruits of my labor...

I just loved having a garden this year. I learned a lot and ate a lot! Definatley doing it again next year.

Halloween and Pumpkin Patch

Oh... our Halloween was a blast! My little dinos were adorable I thought (my mom made the costumes!) We went to my school that afternoon for a faculty trick-or-treat. Mac got the hang of it here and did much better when he went around the neighborhood that night. He is still saying, "more trick or treat." Taft just hung out as usual.
