A little late for Halloween decorations. Sorry.

Hey Tracy. . .remember this? It was pretty much our cutest Halloween decoration this year! (And for the past who knows how many years!)

Mom's cute cards.

Look at Mom's cute cards she made for Enrichment.

So many women signed up, it was crazy! She spent so much time cutting out every piece and she made a few extras of every card just in case somebody messed up. And sure enough, people needed extra pieces. :) It's always good to be prepared!

The grocery bag.

Did you remember the grocery bag from the earlier post? Well, here ya go!

We went to Whole Foods one evening last week and happened to come across some organic catnip toys. We thought it would be fun to bring it home to our kitty but I guess the whole "organic" catnip meant "much more potent catnip." I have never seen our cute kitty act so crazy! And when you throw in the grocery bag with a hole in the bottom corner and mom sticking a pencil in and out, it only equates to a more rambunctious psycho cat!

She also got very mad at me for taking pictures of her stupidity. . .If you look really hard, you might notice a tear in her left eye. Poor girl!

If only I had cute kids.

Last night at Enrichment, Tari reminded me I hadn't updated our blog forever. I just checked the blog and it seems like the last post was last Tuesday. I don't call that too bad. Although, if one of my friends hasn't updated their blog in 3 days, I start getting antsy and I'll probably drop them a reminder e-mail. . .I'm so impatient! (And clearly way too nosey!)

Well, I have discovered the partial reason for my lazy blog. If I had a baby that looked like this. . .

I might have more to blog about.

:)

(Sorry Tari, the lighting in the church kitchen is not best for taking pictures of beautiful babies. And the camera was at a funny angle and you're taller than me, so the picture is taken from below, but it's still pretty darn cute!)

Cute Kitty.

We have been trying to heat our house with the fireplace this year. We attempted this idea last year and really saved a lot of money, it's just we kept running out of wood. Cute Bro. Merritt, our home teacher, figured out several ways to help us store wood more efficiently, therefore, we have plenty of wood! Already we've had more fires than last year and our heating bill has showed! You're probably wondering why in the world you'd care about our stupid heating bill, but the picture is the zinger.



Our kitty, Ashley, LOVES the fire! Not a joke, when she hears us crumpling up the newspaper and starting the kindling, she crawls out of one of her various hiding places and snuggles up in Mom's recliner. It's really cute, but can get VERY annoying. Mom will walk in the door from a hard day at work and need to sit by the fire, but there's always a surprise waiting for her. When you try to pick the cat up and off the recliner, she tries her best to squeeze into the corner. (Here's the only problem with that: She's a 25 pound cat and her squeezing into anything smaller than a WinCo grocery bag is out of the question.)

P.S. Keep in mind the grocery bag. . .it's coming up in another post. . .real soon.

Fall in our front yard

Just some pretty pictures from our yard a couple of days ago. It was kind of dark out but the pictures turned out pretty good for horrible lighting! I'll try to remember to take pictures during the DAY.

Adorable Baby

We got to visit Lori, the secretary at Mom's work, after she had her baby last week. We got some adorable pictures of this little guy. . .here's my favorite.

Some pretty pictures from the farm

Herman the Llama.

Could Bub be any cuter?

Don't you wish you had this little guy in your backyard? He is so darn cute! (Minus the smell)

Random Pictures - The Last Installment of Idaho

Hey! The title to this post sounds like an episode from the Star Wars Saga!

Anyway- Here are a few random shots from the trip. No explanations needed.

This is a picture mom took of us walking through the mall in Idaho Falls. We had an even cuter one, the only problem was mom didn't realize she took the picture while we were walking right in front of Victoria's Secret. It ended up being a semi-inappropriate picture. He he.

Mom's great idea

Mom had this wonderful idea. "All four of my kids are together and I want to get a nice picture." That's a great thought but she might want to take away the "nice" from that sentence. She can get a picture of her four kids together, maybe not a "nice" one, but she'll sure get a picture. Ha ha.

(FYI: The comentary for each ridiculous picture is written UNDER the picture)

Okay. . .We did want a couple of silly "serious" shots.

Sarah's got a half smile in this one, Philip kind of creeps me out, Emily is on the verge of tears only because Ethan has started petting her head.

There's more than a couple of issues with this one. Sarah's pretty much on the way to a real smile, Philip's spread eagle, Emily is being full on attacked by the gorilla named Ethan sitting next to her.

Okay. . .Sarah's pretty much sick of all the nonsense, Philip's chattin' it up, Emily's afraid to even move, (by this point she's asked Mom several times if she could sit over by Sarah instead of Ethan) and Ethan's finally got his attention on something in the corner of the room. I think a bug flew by and he got distracted.

This was the first "good" take. Yeah, it's all good except for the fact that Philip doesn't know when to stop! :)

Okay, we've got a couple of good ones. (Except for the fact that Sarah still looks like a mess. She threw up like 8 times since midnight the night before these pictures were taken. Something didn't sit well with her stomach. She has vowed to never eat at Craigo's or Winger's again.) :)

Then we had a photo shoot with mom in the mix. Cute idea except Philip couldn't quit "spanking" Mom. He looks pretty occupied, doesn't he? Kind of creepy, in a silly sort of way.

This one would be cute except for the obvious fact that Philip never knows when to be serious.

This is pretty much the best shot of the whole night.

And then someone has to go and ruin it.
