Haloween

Boys at the Ward Party Then pulling their scary dragon faces.

I borrowed some cute costumes from my friend. Hyrum was Buzz Lightyear and Wade was going to be a cute green dragon. But... Wade was scared of his costume, so at the last minute I put together a Super Sleuth Winnie the Pooh costume for him to wear. He even had a hunny pot to put his candy in. Then two days after Haloween Wade decided he wanted to wear the dragon costume so I took a few pics. Silly boy! The kids had fun. Hyrum had to wear his costume 4 days in a row because of so many activities.

Also I threw in a pic. of Joe's trip to Chicago when he went up the Sears Tower, he liked that.

I am woman, hear me roar!

I probably made my neighbors out to be totally evil people which they are not, but I am not happy that they seen a cat outside their apartment and thought that it was okay to take it in as their own without asking around.

I am proud of myself for something. I"ve been mostly taking Hyrum to school towing him and Wade in the bike trailor riding my bike. It's only about a 1/2 mile to school but it's down a hill which means I have to ride the bike and trailor back up the hill to get home and I've been making progress on my time and ability to get up it and for the last 3 days I've been able to get up it with both kids inside without stopping and walking my bike up the hill. That's a lot of dead weight behind me! I AM WOMAN!

I shouldn't be a little mad, but I am

So the day before we left for Disneyland our cat turned up missing. She was a great Cat super nice and patient with little kids and stuck around really well. We were going to take her to get her fixed as soon as we got back but she turned up missing. Well a neighbor of ours came over the night she turned up missing to drop off a recipee. I visit teach this neighbor. Well thier daughter claims she found the cat on a fence by thier apartment, they took her in and kept her as their own. We looked all over for her for 2 weeks, no luck. Well my mom went to their house for relief society business and there was our cat. They won't even believe us that it was our cat and said they righfully found her on a fence and kept her inside. I'm mad because I feel like our cat was stollen and I REALLY liked the cat and now I still have to visit teach her. I'll get over it but do I feel justified being a little frustrated that they didn't even ask around when the knew I had a cat? Plus they already have another cat too. I'm not going to do anything about it but I'm just venting. Most of you probably didn't know that I was a huge fan of cats.

Who are those other kids? These are my cousins from Lehi that came with us.

Disneyland!

We went to Disneyland on Sept 22nd. It was fun. Wade stayed at my mother-in-laws and Joe stayed and worked. We went with my cousins and my mom and brother who generously payed for us. It was super hot there and so I am freezing suddenly here! It was in the mid to upper 90's and humid! HOT!

We also went to universal studios and the beach. Hyrum loved the beach the most. He was scared of a lot of the rides. He LOVED however, the buzz lightyear ride and most of the outdoor rides. We were tired and sick when we got back, we've had this killer long and lingering cold that has plaged me for 3 weeks now, I'm finally kicking it. Here are some pics from Disneyland. Hyrum like to meet the characters.

Update finally

So I took some pics of mine and Wade's drastic hair cuts but they are on my mom's camera and I can't find it. So soon, I will get those but here are a bunch of pics from other things. Back in Aug. we had a party outside with the slipn slide. Here are a few pics. Also there is a picture of the kitten we had for 6 weeks. When we first got her my kids were scared of her. It was stupid because she was a tiny sweet little kitten but they acted like she was a child eating gorilla! Finally, my kids got grip with reality and they came to love her as did all of us. She was a great cat but sadly she dissapeared 2 weeks ago and we really miss her. I hate how that always happens every time we get a stupid cat! So here a few pics of our party and our man eating cat!

Help it's Tater Tornato!

So I keep waiting until I take and download pics to write the things I want to put in the blog and then I never get around to it. So this time I'd like to share a little bit about what we've gone through with Wade in the last week, his nickname for those who don't know is Tater. He's been screaming at me most of the day all week. Here is a list of some of his recent doings....
Eating Trail mix in Bjorn's bed
Breaking a picture off the wall- broken glass
Dumping out the kitten's litter box all over the garage
Dumping the kitten's food all over the garage multiple times
Getting into the coco drink mix 2 times in one morning getting powder all over the kitchen and pooring water all over it
Flushing wash rags down the toilette
Dumping Bjorn's cell phone into his drink water 4 times!
Breaking and chucking a flashlight, and throwing the poor kitten around
Opened a can of oats all over the living room couch and floor with water
dumped about 30 water spots all over the carpet all over the house
Pours water and ice out of the fridge despenser and overfloas it constantly
..............MANY MORE FORGIVEN INCIDENCES........................................

HELP WE ARE ALL SUFFERING FROM TDS WHAT DO WE DO? IT'S TATER STRESS DISORDER?

Keep in mind he's adorable and I love him.

Move Complete

Well, we are officially free of our cindar block cell although we will really miss it. We still have a lot of stuff to put away but we moved to my mom's house in Lehi on Friday. Joe begins classes tomarrow, Monday and school starts next week. We are tired and sore but greatful for all the family help we had during the move. So now we start a new chapter of our lives in Lehi--- again.

Joe passed his defense!

Yeah, the finish line is in our grasp now, it's in 3 days! Joe passed his defense yesterday which is a huge accomplishment to get his plan B master's project completed. This means he will graduate after his classes are over at the end of the week. The project was a huge pain so it's a big relief to know he has passed. His classes that he has to finish are manageble for him so he's not worried. Anyway, I am super proud of him getting his master's degree! We are moving next Friday to Lehi. We will miss it here but it's been getting really lonely here too, there are hardly any kids in our triad that come out now so that is preparing us to be lonely in Lehi. Anyway, for those of you who have never lived here, this place is really fun and social, as long as you have neighbors with kids. It's the funnest place to live in the summer with large enclosed play areas for the kids and big sidewalks and a central large playground, it's great for taking kids on bike rides without roads and things. But, they are super hard to live in at winter, so it balances out. We are greatful for the 4 years we enjoyed here and feel like we did the right thing by coming and by sticking it out here in Aggie Vlg. all 4 years.
