Halloween

The camera is taking fuzzy pictures. Jared stayed home to hand out candy and take care of Elizza. He did a great job. Don't you just love the facial hair she is pulling off. (He clean it off before I got back.) He is just a fun daddy. (From right to left) RyAnn is a tiger, Issac is thor how to train a dragon), Morriah is Batgirl.

I took the 3 kids trick- or- treating just around the block. They got so much candy that Morriah opted to ride in the car most of the last half of the way around.

Jared and I went horseback riding with my cousin Ken and Lois Biorn last night. It was so fun riding by horseback into Mesa Falls north of Ashton, ID. It is so pretty up there.

My horse just wanted to run, while Jared's wanted to walk. The stirrups were to long for meand the saddle kept falling to the left side.

We spotted some bear and cub tracks. Lois didn't like the idea that we mite be following a bear. I was to worried about the horse taking off with me and falling off.

On the way back to the trailer we had to hurry before it got dark. It is not safe to be out in the dark in the hills. We had to trot the horses(or should I say had to run my horse). I told Ken to slow down, he stopped and I almost flew over my horse's head.

I would do it again and remember to ask for stirrups that were short enough for me.

Elizza is starting to crawl

Elizza is doing the army crawl. She saw a sticker from about 4 feet away, army crawled to it and stuck it in her mouth. She still palms things.

Grandpa was trying out our new lawn tractor this last weekend. Jared was able to repair the mower parts last night. Jared can now mow the lawn in a day instead two for the back and another two for the rest of the lawn.

weekend

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks you Alicia for hosting dinner. It was fun spending time with family.

The black Friday deal were ok and I did get most of the rest of my Christmas shopping done.

I need to remember that Christmas is not about spending money and things. It is about giving the Love of Christ.

Can you believe it? In less than 3 weeks we will have a new little baby to add more love to our home.

The Eastern Idaho State Fair

We went to the fair yesterday it was fun. Jared got many ribbons for his baking: superintentent award for the men's division (cake, bread, pie, cookies) and won a blanket. He got second on his cookies, and third on sweet and sour sauce and bread. We walked around all the commerial buildings and the craft and antic buildings. RyAnn and I bought a hat that we can put on a baby girl and add a bow. Lets just hope that perditions are right and it is a girl. It was a long day but the weather was nice and cool.

Summer fun

We have been to fireworks and lit our own on the 4th of July weekend in two cities. Jared wasn't impressed with the ones we lit but the kids thought it was great. Morriah even thought she could lit a couple.

We have played in the cold water at Rigby lake and the snake river.

RyAnn jumped on the trampoline during a rain storm.

We have been trying to go to a couple parks before the heat of the day. some times we don't get to stay very long.

This last weekend Jared ran a 5K AT THE 24TH OF jULY CELEBRATION.

Jared said that he got some mystery plants from my Dad and now we have zucchini, pumpkin and crooked-neck squash growing. Now we can say that we will get some produce in addition all to the tomato plants that have blooms.

I'll counting our blessings.
