Thumper and Bambi in person!

How sweet - have a great week!!

Playing catch up and having a ball doing so!!!!

Ok - don't tell anyone but I have been home all week!!! I am feeling quite spoiled but have been having a ball catching up on things that I have let slip lately.
Monday - went through both kids closets and overhauled Marcus' bed & bedroom
Tues - overhauled rest of the basement including Jamie's bed, her room, family room, bathroom, and guest room.
Wed.(today) - overhauled upstairs, our bed and bedroom, cleaned on top of cupboards and cabinets, cleaned out hutches, keeping up with the laundry, cleaning out filing cabinet.
Thursday - plan on doing the mopping and vacuuming really well.
Friday - leave for my shopping trip with 4 other girl friends of mine to Mpls. MN

Just an update I know quite boring but that is what I have been up to this week - and it's raining all day here today and cold highs in the 40's - might have to turn on some heat soon!!!
Jamie has her last volleyball game tomorrow for 7th grade and then in 2 weeks basketball will start. Marcus has last football game on Friday - Mike is starting to get ready for trapping - which starts Nov. 1.

Jamie's Pictures

Jamie purchased a nice camera with all her birthday money and is having a ball with it. Here are some of her pictures she has taken - love to look through them all at times - she just snaps shots and sometimes that is just better all the way around.

Her and her very close friend Josie Kollis - they did almost everything together this summer and had a great time - she is a sweetie (both of them are :)))))))

Love this shot - just being herself

This is a picture on my birthday and I am showing off my necklace that Mike and the kids gave me it is gorgeous and I love to wear it -I have recieved many compliments on it already.

Jamie went on the Revolve Tour on Oct. 3&4 in Mpls. MN - here she is with some of her friends that went also - It was a Teen Girls weekend with many speakers and singers at the Target Convention Center - she had a very good time.

Harvest is complete!!

The gardens are all cleaned up!! The canner is put away and my wonderful husband of 19 years today has beautifully decorated the front porch. We froze 6 bags of beans, 13 bags of corn, canned 96 pints of salsa, and 14 pints of spagetti sauce.

First for Mike!?!?!?!?!?

Mike went on a hunting trip this past weekend and came home on Tuesday - he went Grouse hunting and did really well - as a group of three they shot 15 birds and Mike shot 7 of them - he always was a great shot. While they were hunting one day Dave walked into a rattlesnake and asked Mike to shoot it and he shot it's head off and here is his pic. He took the rattle home to show the kids - it's really cool and definitely a first for Mike. Glad I didn't know about it till it was over - WOW - little scary for this chick.

Mike said that this dog was awesome - he was only 15 months old but very obedient and a great hunting dog. They took 4 bottles of water along the the dogs everyday and one day Mike didn't get any - cuz the dogs needed them all :)
