Halloween a little late...

My dad was so silly this year. Natty would not even look at him. She was so scared. He is now in the hunt for a santa hat. I love him so much and it was so scary almost losing him last year. He had his last dose of kemo last week. His attitude on life is a little different now. The orange hat in the pic is the one the cancer center gave him. He wears it EVERYWHERE, even with his hair grown back. It is a little embarrasing.

Hunting for Brownee

Hunting season has been under way for a month now and I am patiently counting down the days till it's over. I do enjoy the pics that Todd takes, it really is beautiful where he goes, but he has been gone ALOT lately. Here is a pic of Brownee. She loves her job and does it well.

Today Todd is the BIG 30...Yikes!

I love ya lots Todd...you are my rock in so many ways.

Just another day in paradise!

Life seems to be so busy lately that I really don't have time to sit down and think. I am going crazy between babysitting, quilting class, scouts, my fitness, the kids fitness class, piano, homework, and soon basketball, not to mention keeping up the house. I never wanted to be one of those parents who puts their kids into every sport on the planet. I really would love MORE family time! Needless to say we a a wreak lately. My only sanity is at night when I lay down in bed and read. I don't care what is going on outside my room, it's my time to settle down and recharge my batteries. Morgen asked me the other night where HIS batteries are. I pointed to his head, it was really cute. Well I guess I should go, Todd is calling for his hair to be cut. I am also the beauty parlor!

well checks...shots...oh my

Today Natalee and Morgen had their well checks and I SURVIVED. Since I have not been in the office for SO long I was at the check in counter for 15 minutes updating. Meanwhile the kids are crawling under, over, and through the chairs. Mind you the chairs had people in them! Poor people! I can only guess what they were thinking. The receptionist thought it was all sorts of funny. She said they were just fine, I told her lets take a poll of what all the people in the room, whom they were annoying,thought. She laughed! So when we actually made it back to the room and it was hard to fill in all the questions of how each kid was progressing because Morgen would answer all Natty's questions so we didn't know if she actually did know the answers. And on his he wouldn't answer because he couldn't get his mind off "I'm so thirsty, I can't think" and "stop talking to me." After the "Your kids are so tall routine" we got down to the shots. Morgen kept getting off the table every time I put him on. Why on earth would the doctor give the bag of cookies out BEFORE the shots is a mystery to me. I really could have used it as a bargaining tool. So I opted for all that I did have- "Natty will go first and you get to stay here until you get them done." Boy did he jump on the table fast. So they lived and I survived. On the way out I was talking to myself saying, "Why on earth did I schedule two well checks filled with shots for the same time with two very active children. Believe me-Lesson Learned...or is it-I came home and scheduled 3 dentists appointments for the day after christmas! Wow-I am CRAZY!

Natty's time...

When all the kids are at school Natty gets a little bored. So today we attempted bread and it actually turned out, yeah me! It is so nice to get one on one with her!

Kids had fun in the snow

The kids had SO much fun in the snow, I however am not ready for this kind of weather. Fall is so unpredictable or is it just Idaho?
