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.

Trip to Vegas- Taft's Blessing Day

My parents, me, and the kids all loaded up in my car and drove down to Vegas for my nephew Steve's baptism a couple of weeks ago. What a drive. Actually the kids did great thanks to the DVD player Susan let me borrow (still need to get that back to you). Since most of my family was there for the occassion, we decided to have Taft blessed along with his cousin Bryce. It was a very memorable weekend. My sister Aimee has a backyard built for kids, Mac had a great time. Taft is such a little cutie. Almost 6 months old and sitting up already. Time is flying by...

Witches Night Out

We had so much fun at Gardner Village for Witches Night Out! Yes that's me with the pink hair. Mac was really freaked out by my wig and fake eyelashes. He kept saying "off, take it off".

They're Home!!!!

After 2 years my parents are back from their mission to Kiribati! They have been with me and the boys for 3 weeks now, and we are loving every minute of it. I am trying to convince them to move here (yeah right). Mac and Taft have latched right on and just love their Grandma and Grandpa they have never really met.
