One foot out the door

Well, after 11 days, I think our visitor has at least one foot out the door. It only took 3 doctor visits and 3 prescriptions of antibiotic to get him out of here. Hooray for good health and energy to do something besides lay around the house!

Halloween at last

We had a great Halloween this year. We spent the morning at cousin Danica's baptism and luncheon. Then, we went trick-or-treating to Grandma and Grandpa Scooter's on the way home.


Here's out little stinker with Grandma Casper.

It was hard to get all 3 boys to pose together for a good shot.

Hayden was an army guy or the"army" as he put it.

Austin was a fireman and proud of it.

We just had to get a rear shot of our little skunk.

Unwelcome Visitor

An unwelcome visitor came our way on Friday afternoon. He brought some unfavorable gifts with him - fevers, body aches, runny noses, headaches, yucky tummies, a cough and congestion. The last of the 5 finally met her fate yesterday afternoon. So, we are now on quarentine until our sympotms subside and our unwelcome visitor decides it's time to go.

Some of my genes

I'm so excited that Austin just may have recieved some of my genes too. He was so excited to see it snowing. Although he thinks when there is snow, it has to be Christmas too. This morning he was jumping up and down and chanting..."It's snowing! It's snowing!" I love the snow. I love to walk in it, go for drives in it (as long as Colby's the one driving), throw it, roll in it, go snowmobiling in it, and I especially love to just watch it snow. Who could not love the way that it makes everything look so clean and crisp!

To big to need his mom.

Hayden's school was giving the H1N1 flu shot today at school to all the students. I told him that I would come and be there with him. He told me that he could do it by himself. I asked him if he was sure, and he was nice enough to say that if I really wanted to come, I could come, but he could do it by himself. Next he'll start telling me that he can do his own laundry and make his own meals. Maybe that's not such a bad thing!

Trying to improve...

On my attempts to blog more often. So, here goes... Austi and Haydo went to the doctor yesterday for their yearly check-ups. Haydo is in the 50% - yeah Haydo! Austi is in the 5% -yeah Austi you're on the charts! They were both so brave and Hayden even gave Dr. M a picture he colored just for him. We're glad are boys are healthy and growing up way too fast.

October Fun!

So my pictures are a little messed up in order. Oh well! We had so much fun this last month.
It snowed on our Jack-O-Lanterns and Wyatt got to play in the snow for the 1st time.


Our fun Jack-O-Lanterns. The boys loved it. Wyatt even ate it! Yuck, raw pumpkin.

Here we are getting ready to carve. Don't I look so thrilled. Here's Colby thinking he is a kid again. Wyatt doesn't care who's pulling him around- as long as he gets to ride.

We went to the AWHC trick or treating and Austin got some scarey teeth. Here's Hayden trying out his roping skills.

Wyatt and Colby going down the super slide. Austin posing for a shot while painting his pumpkin.

Stay tuned for pictures of Halloween. Eventually I'll get them on my computer.
