All Work and No Play Makes Scott A Dull Boy!!!

Scott and his Dad took the boys fishing Saturday. They took the boat to Fontenell Reservoir in Wyoming. They had a blast and some pretty good luck!!! They were yummy fish too (we ate them yesterday :-))

Scary Dragons!!!

While the boys were gone fishing this weekend, Loreli raided the closet and decided to practice for Halloween. I have to mention that this is not her costume. She just wanted to try it out. She makes a very scary dragon don't you think?

Loreli's Dress

Loreli looks so cute in the dress I made her!!! I am so glad I learned how to read a crochet pattern! Thanks to the internet I was able to create this cute dress for winter. It is so fun!!! Thanks for the moment to brag! Good thing I have a cute girl to dress. I doubt that James and Carter would have appreciated this as much :-)

Carter, Carter, Carter

Carter got in trouble the other day for arguing with me and fighting with James and Loreli and who knows what else. I had finally had it and knew that he just needed a nap, so I sent him to his room. He stormed down the stairs making sure to stomp on each step. He was mumbling under his breath all the way down. I said "Carter, be quiet and go to your room before you get in more trouble." He promptly replied,"I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to myself."

To Those of Us Who Love to Read

My mom is brilliant! I was browsing all of the awsome blogs available to the public and stumbled on to a book club blog. I thought it looked like fun. I told my mom about it and she told me to go for it. "Do one of your own," she said. So I have started another blog. One just for books. To those of you who have been blogging longer or simply know more, I would love to have your opinions and input on how to go about doing it. As a lover of reading I can not ever have enough suggestions for a good read. You can enter to the right through Books 2 luv. I look forward to your suggestions and opinions!!!

The Pumpkin Patch

Carter's preschool field trip to the pumpkin patch was today. I got to be one of the drivers. The kids had so much fun!!!

First they got to meet the Pumpkin Man. He scared them a little bit because he was laying, lifeless on the hay bails. One of the kids touched him and he moved and one of the little girls screamed. Carter, ever the observant said "Hey, there's a man in that pumpkin."

After he revealed himself as the Farmer, he did some magic tricks for the kids and let them try on his pumpkin head. Then they got to pick out their pumpkins to bring home.

When we were done we went to a park nearby and the kids had snacks and played on the little play ground. Do you think they could fit one more kid on that slide? The little girl peaking through the bars didn't think so. All in all they had a great day!!!

Virtual pat on the back!!!

I don't have time to be sick!!! I woke up yesterday with my throught swollen and my ears aching and my nose stuffed and I just wanted to go back to bed. This is not a poor me statement. This is a shout out to all the mom's who get sick and still have to be mom's to munch kins. I have decided that making through days when we are sick earns us a pat on the back. This is a virtual pat on the back for all us mom's out there who don't ever get to be sick alone again, but make it through like the soldiers that we are. Who says girl's aren't tough?

Great Events

Loreli may have limited space available, but she sure knows how to use it to the best of her advantage when it comes to hosting two major events of the year:

A movie screening of "Ratatouille" with a tough critic (and friend) Amelia Hardy.


A charity dinner with the famous James and Carter.


After an eventful day of fun and feasting one cannot help but crash wherever one might land.

Loreli wants to wish everyone a good night. Do to unfortunate circumstances she is unable to make a conscious appearance at this time. But if she were here, she would say "night, love you!" to all of her adoring fans.
