New video

I put a new little video at the bottom of my page. When we were at the cabin a few months ago, a nest had been built in the rafters of the porch. There were 5 cute little babies in it and the Mom and Dad bird would come and bring them food. They wouldn't come when we were moving around on the porch, but when we sat still we could watch them. It was so fun. Pause my music and enjoy the cute little chirping.

Some fun pics

The many shoes of Jenna:

I've seen many pictures of kids that love shoes. I've also seen nieces and nephews that do, but Jenna is my first to love shoes. Here's a few of her recent fashion statements.

My other kids have tried them on once in a while, but Jenna does all the time! Here is my favorite one. She's wearing Logan's shoes on her feet, and hers on her hands. What a nerd ;)

Still loves her daddy! She sure missed him when he was gone hunting!

This is the hail storm we had a few weeks ago. I was getting ready to go meet Summer at the bus when it got so loud. I ended up grabbing an umbrella and running to the bus stop. Luckily her driver kept them all on until it slowed down to just pouring rain. It was so crazy!
I guess Ginger missed Jeremy too. This is the night he got back. It's so funny that he lets her do this. He sent me a picture on my phone yesterday of her laying on her back next to him in this chair. So funny!

Still here!

No I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth! I'm still here. I love how busy life is getting. It just leaves no time for some extras.

Things we've been up to:

Selling!! I've sold quite a bit of stuff lately. A few hundred dollars worth! I love it.

School: There is always something going on. Last night we went to a 4H family night. The kids had so much fun sliding and bouncing and eating!

Zumba!! My favorite dance exercise! I LOVE LOVE it! I try to go 4 times a week. I also am running again. I'm going to do my wards 5k in Nov! I'm excited.

Then the usual. Cooking and cleaning. It's never ending, but I don't mind ;)

We are still loving our new kitty too! I know she'll bring great memories just like my kitty Samson did when I was little!

Hunting. Jer was gone 10 whole days! I was sure glad when he got home!


Well, that's basically it. I'll post pics soon. I can't believe Halloween is around the corner. I'll blink and Thanksgiving and Christmas will be over too!

Our new Kitty!

So anyone who knows Jeremy will again wonder what has happened to him. I really like him getting older. He's so much sweeter than he used to be.

A couple of weeks ago this cute kitty jumped up on our brick ledge and meowed in my kitchen window. I went out to see her and saw that she had a collar on. There was no tag though, so I decided to keep her in the back yard for a while and see if anyone lost her.

I asked around, and called our police station and even put her on KSL. But no one claimed her.

One day Jeremy was watching the kids play with her and he told me that that she couldn't come in the house if she hasn't had any shots and she would need to get spayed and I should find a vet.

I was shocked! But so excited. The kids had already gotten attached to her. Kylee started calling her Ginger. She is so sweet and loves the kids. Even Jenna! She has pulled her by the tail a couple of times and she didn't do anything.


Well, a neat thing happened this morning. We hadn't gotten a litter box yet so I had to put her outside again to sleep. I say her this morning before the kids left for school, but when I went to feed her she wasn't here! She must have gotten on the tramp and onto the fence and she was gone! I was so sad. So I decided she couldn't have gone too far, we should go look for her.

Then I realized, like a little kid who lost their shoe, we should pray. So Logan, Jenna and I knelt down and prayed to find our new kitty. Then we walked around our neighborhood. No luck :(

I decided to just go home. Then I looked in the backyard one more time and called her new name, and was in shock when she suddenly was on the fence jumping back in to our yard! We hugged her and knelt right there on the deck to say thank you. It's the first time something like this has ever happened to me. It's so simple, but it was so neat! I know Heavenly Father cares about the little things.

So, today I got a litter box (she obviously has used one before) and tomorrow we are getting shots. (Jeremy let her in when it started raining ;) And next week she will get spayed (for free!) and de-clawed. I just need to get her a name tag with our phone # on it. We don't want to lose our new kitty!
