Furry Kids, the best kind

I have a dog. His Name is Skip. Skippy, Skipper, Skipety-doodog. As you can tell he is a Chihuahua. He is the cutest ever. I love him sooo much. He is smart, funny, loyal. He is my lap dog. He even likes to snuggle at night when he is cold. The only thing I don't like is his ability to shed 24/7. You would think he would be bald by now.

Skippy hates for me to kiss Brent. And will jump up and bite Brent on the nose and then lick me to move.

Now meet our cat Speedy. He is a Snowshoe Siamese. He is a wonderful cat. He minds his own business and takes great care of himself when we are gone. He adopted us about 10 or so years ago. He came declawed and neutured. That was great for us.

Spencer has taken great care and concern for the cat. He even got mad at us when we laughed at Speedy when he was wearing his "Pioneer Hat". He had to have a wound cleaned and he had a cone for awhile. That was so funny. He couldn't walk in a straight line.

Thanks for bringing us so much joy and happiness into our lives.

I finally did it!!

Here is my pride and joy. After having lived in this house for almost 5 years, yes, I said 5 years I finally got a pumpkin. Isn't he a cutie? I love how round he is and just the right color orange.


He had been hiding, then one day there he was. As I was checking out my other pumpkin plants I noticed there were more than just him. He had relatives. About 13 to be exact.

We had fun picking them on the day it rained and was cold out. It felt like pumpkin time. So we cut them off the vine and set them out. I am so happy we grew our own. Next year I hope we get a lot more. This was too much fun.

I am going to miss you!!

I do truly love fall, except for the fact that in just a few short months I won't have my flowers greeting me in the morning. I am going to miss their individual personalities. And fragrances.

They make me happy. And I enjoy all the hard work they may take. So for now I say "Adeau" and look forward to your speedy return in the spring.

Happy B-day Brent

Yesterday was Brents B-day.... It was a great day. Because we get to celebrate Brent. He is the kindest, most giving and wonderful person I know. He provides for his family and he works hard at all he does. He is a handy man, machanic, teacher, electrician, plumber, yard and garden man, he is my yard sale companion, he is my cheauffer, he is MY BEST FRIEND.




















He makes me laugh , teases me like crazy and helps me when I have a problem and he loves his kids more than they will ever know. He is a loyal person. And I love him!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENT !! Hope your day was terrific.
Love,
Angi

I love the GREAT OUTDOORS!!

For the Holiday weekend we went to my honey's family cabin. On the drive up I thought I would take some pictures. Well nothing to really get excited over until we saw a man taking some pictures of something and we pulled over and it was a moose. Now this makes the whole trip worth while. You see for me the moose is thee greatest animal alive. I LOVE them. And not only did I see the one at the side of the road, but as we were walking along the path around the lake look who jumped right out in front of us.

He scared me to death. I think he thought it was funny. He let us take a bunch of pictures. Then he said "Goodbye" and left.

What a thrill that was for me. My kids thought it was pretty great too. Which was surprising because they don't get too excited about much. They even let me take their picture.

Minus 1 though. He would not even act like he had a family up there because he wanted to hang with cousins. Fine by me, at least he was enjoying the outdoors.

This trip was a lot of fun for everyone who went. We played cards, ate, read, napped, ate, talked, watched it rain, laughed, ate some more and just enjoyed each other. I am grateful for the time we had together.

The First Day of School....Yippee

Today was the first day of school for my boys. We had mixed emotions as we embarked on our day. I was up bright and early as was Brent. He always is though. Anyway Spence got up at 5:30 to get ready for early morning seminary. Spencer has not seen 5:30 since April. So I don't talk to him really until he has breakfast. Then Connor at 6:00. But he is a happy morning person and is up this early all the time.

They got ready and then it was picture time. I have to, I tell them over the very loud groans. MOM, NO. We are way to old! Well I don't think so and off I go trying to get a good picture. It was not easy and definitley not as adorable as when they were 5 and 6. Nevertheless I managed to get them to at least look at me and not stick their hands in front of the camera.

Where does the time go? Spence is in the 10th grade and Con is in the 9th. " I don't remember growing old!" Anyway these are my to Q-T's.
