Happy Halloween!

The doggies wanted to go trick or treating- mainly for the candy. I didn't think it was a good idea. I dressed them up anyway. I had to bribe them with dog treats to get them to sit for me! The kids will be coming soon for candy but I couldn't convince the doggies to stay dressed up. Oh well!

I know I have been a slacker with updates. I will try to be better. On another fun note, we started childbirth classes last night. Mike kept making comments and making me laugh. He thinks he is a pro and knows all of this because he saw a special on the learning channel. We will see!!

Corn Maize

We went to the corn maize on Saturday in Portland with the youth group from church. We put our new minivan to good use driving the jr. high girls to the maize. The maize was a ton of fun but was really muddy. It was so muddy I got stuck several times and nearly fell on my face. We had hot apple cider, got our pumpkins, and ate an elephant ear. It was fun to be youth leaders again.

Baby showers

Friday and Saturday were my baby showers. They were a great time of fellowship and good food with friends and family. My mom had my baby blanket (made by my Aunt Janet) rebound. I hope the baby loves my blankie as much as I did. My beautiful 86 grandma was there as well. Isn't she lovely?

It is offiical that this little guy has an insane amount of clothes. He will be the best-dressed little guy. He is already so loved by so many people!

Packer Game

Lambeau Field was the site of an amazing game against the Chargers on Sunday. We had a great time. The baby is officially a Packers fan although his daddy is still not convinced (the poor guy is a Raiders fan). It was great to be in WI: to enjoy a sunny day, to see Favre tie the record, and to enjoy each other. Go Pack!!

Hiking around Mt. Hood

We took the dogs hiking on the Salmon River Trail on Sunday. The trail was around the base of Mt. Hood. The scenery was beautiful. We all loved our time enjoying nature. The dogs had a blast. They spent the rest of the weekend sleeping.

The $250 bag of candy

It all began at IKEA. Mike didn't want to charge $2 for ice cream so he told me to get the bag of Daim bars (wonderful swedish toffee if you haven't had them). All was fine until we got home and dropped all the bags on the floor. The dogs ended up finding them and a scuffle ensued. Alex bit Lucky. Now they get into it now and then but this time Alex bit Lucky's ear and drew blood. We ended up at the emergency vet. 6 stitches and $250 later we took our drugged doggy home. The doggies are fine and getting along again. There is never a dull day with our doggies.

Rocketman gets me in trouble...again

Why do movie quotes get stuck in your mind? They happen to come out of my mouth at inconvenient times. Rocketman gets me the most... I followed procedure...the zulu uprising...and others. Thankfully Mike and Al usually appreciate my quotes but...

Happy Labor Day.. . have fun and relax!
