Thank goodness for camera phones!

Here are some more random pics from our phones...

October Fun!!

We went to Linder Farm's pumpkin patch! We had so much fun! We went on a hay ride that took us to an awesome petting zoo, this was my favorite part. They had a zebra, and a halarious camel, horses, and more in which you could feed all of them, tons of fun. They had consessions so we could eat dinner out there. Caleb, Katelyn, and I went through the corn maze and found our way out in only 40 minutes. That was fun, Caleb led us around successfully to the end. While we did that Scott took the little kids on the bounce houses, hay maze, and a barrel train ride. Kevin, Jamee, and family met us out there and we got to do the petting zoo all over again with Ashlynn! The hay ride dropped us all off at the pumpkin patch of our choice in which we found some cool pumpkins. We finished off with hot choclate and donuts to go. What a great family outing!
I have captured some photos to share but story of my life, we forgot the camera and had to use our phones... so we don't have pictures from everything since we ran out of memory on our phones. Stay tuned for Jamee's post which is sure to have some great photos as well. (Thanks guys for sharing in our fun, letting us share in your fun and always being prepared with a camera!)

1. I get fake toe nails in the good weather. I love it, I have done it for 3 years now and I don't even get my finger nails done, just my toes. This sort of starts my next quirk but when I have my toes done I only wear open toed shoes, I even wore open toed shoes when I went to Newfoundland and saw the ice bergs, when I don't have my toes done I only wear close toed shoes.

2. This part isn't so quirky but I love shoes. I love to have different shoes to go with different things and am pretty particular with what kind of shoes should go with what outfit. I am both particular in color and style. So with that said I do need a wide variety of shoes to choose from. I had the best lunch hour ever the other week, I was making my transition to closed toed shoes and bought 5 pairs! To be honest I think this is pretty normal but since I get razzed about it maybe it is a quirk.

3. I write with my left hand but do everything else with my right. I bowl, bat, throw all right handed. Oh and I eat with either hand.

4. I play with my hair when it is down, I don't twirl like others or flip it, or even pick my split ends... I put it behind my ear and then take it out and then put it back, and take it out. It is hard to explain but I always do it and when I catch myself I even think it is weird. I have done this since I was in Jr high, I can remember laying and the floor talking on the phone and doing just what I described.

5. I do not like the water. I do not like to get wet, or splashed. If I finally decide to go play in the water, go to the water park or something so that I am not being a party pooper it takes me a while to actually get in the water, but still I hate to get splashed even if I am already wet. People of course know this about me so they like to do cruel things like turn the sprinkler on where I am sitting and gather everyone around to watch. I don't even put my face in the shower stream, I cup the water in my hands to wash my face.

6. I am pretty picky about the type of service I receive in a restaurant. Because I worked in a restaurant so long I notice any missed step and am always critiquing the service I receive. Because of this I think I am jinxed because I often receive poor service, especially when we are in a group and it often gets blamed on the fact that I am there.

So here is how this works... You have to tell 6 quirks about yourself. Jamee tagged me (thanks!) and now I have to tag 6 others: Lindsey, Katie, Kara, Jodi, you're it. I don't know anyone else that reads my blog that hasn't already been tagged so I guess it stops there.

Miss ya Sadie.

Well its October. It has been 1 year since Sadie died. For those of you who don't know, Sadie was our most awesome family dog of 7 years. Pretty much everyone loved her, she was well behaved and very loveable, and beautiful. Couple of good memories... she would sing (howl) to loud noises like a harmonica and it would just crack everyone up. She would also come lay her head on your feet especially company, she just had to be touching someone. She died last October of Kidney failure, sigh, that sucked soooo bad. We love and miss her and she will always be our "good girl" and the best dog ever.
Sandy is our dog now and I have to say that I have not built a relationship with her. She is very pretty and she is sweet but she has a lot of bad habits. We made a rebound, unthought, knee jerk decision to get her when we saw the add in the paper. She was 8 months old when we got her and supposedly very well trained. The kids love her though especially Cade. Hopefully we can get her some training and she will mature and turn out to be a good dog too.
I have included a very cute picture of Kamryn falling asleep on Sandy. Funny this is the only furniture either dog was allowed on, the futon in the office and both dogs favorite spot to fall asleep. I will keep looking for a picture I can use of Sadie.

Cousins, Cousins, Cousins are Fun!!

Here are a few pictures from when Trae and Aspyn were over and from today while I watched Ashlynn and Jace. I have to tell you a few pictures are missing from the day spent with Ashlynn and Jace, like Cade and Ashlynn playing ring around the rosies, so cute, and don't forget Cade and Ashlynn fighting, not so cute. So young and already fighting you say... its Cade he is such a bully boy. Actually, we should have had the video camera out, we spend all that money and still all I use is my cell phone to take pictures. We always have so much fun when the cousins are over!
