FINE!!! I admit it!

So.... 3 years ago, I dressed like a tramp. Thank you Sally for reminding me. Are you happy now Lynnett? And really, I would have thought nothing of it except the drunk dads down the street that were hitting on me. SERIOUSLY????? What is SEXY about this? I'm ready to POP! P.S. I'm still thanking Stone for doing his part of dressing up as the Bat Dad. Oh well..... Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Birthday Mom & Dad

September 27th we celebrated My Mom's Birthday!


I think we've used these candles for the last 6 birthdays. I hope they'll last for 26more.


Celebrating with dinner a Cool Hand Lukes (yummy!)


Yes, that's Mike! (top right)


October 17th, 18th, 19th, & 20th we celebrated my Dad's 60th Birthday. I think Mike was jealous! We only celebrated his birthday one day this year, poor baby. Anyway, we had a suprise party for him on the 17th. It was a Western Them. Aubri cooked all the yummy food, we had it out at her barn, and we hired a band. He was totally surprised... he showed up in sweat shorts and everything. Alexa put a video together, (good job lex... i really enjoyed the pix of just you and dad ;)) and we had a fabulous night. Saturday we continued working on our next BIG surprise. We'd (mostly mike) put together a song for my Mom's 50th Birthday 5 years ago, so... it was my dad's turn this year. Mike had been working on it for the last 2 months and it turned out beautiful. I don't know who boobed more, my dad or mike. He put alot of heart into it and there were a couple verses he said he had a hard time writing because of how heart wrenching they were. So, Saturday Night we went to a sound room and recorded it. Sunday, we had a roast beef dinner at my parents for the unveiling of the song. And Monday, we went to Cool Hand Lukes again for another Birthday dinner. Too fun!

Happy Birthday Papa

Tag... your it!

The Rules:
*Link to the person who tagged you: My 'cousin in-law' Shantel tagged me :)
*Post the rules on your blog:
*Write six random things about yourself.
*Tag six people and let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
*Let your tagger know when your entry is up. (Don't forget to come back and tell me you completed this tag!)

1. I have a high pain tolerance. For example: My eardrums and appendix burst before I complained about either. Natural child birth. And... I just learned that 'they' say, lack of intelligence coincides with high pain tolerance. (very fitting)

2. I have a terrible Memory. I will be the youngest known case of Alzheimer's. I'll put $20 it. And... if I'm wrong, I won't remember this anyway, so you can't hold me to it. And... if I'm right, I won't remember this anyway, so I can't hold you to it. So let's just forget the whole $20 thing right now.

3. I was in BAND! I played the flute for 4 years. My Mom gave me the choice even... "You can play an instument or you can take dance." "Know though, that you can play an instrument for the rest of your life." My decision is quite regretable. Guess who can't play a single note to save their life. Thats right, the same person who would love to not feel insecure on the dance floor. 4 years... what a waste. Anyone want to buy a flute? ;)

4. I enjoy going to the Dentist. And not just for you Brandon ;) It's the only break I get from being a Mother that I don't feel guilty for.

5. Now I feel guilty for #4 so I think I'd better express how totally and completely amazing I think Motherhood is. When I first got married, I thought... "let's get our kids here quick and raised so that we can enjoy retirement together while we're still young. Now, after having kids... I always want them around. The thought of having them all raised and gone makes me want to puke. I feel so blessed.

6. I am the Nursery Singing Time Leader and LOVE IT!!!! These babies are just so amazing.


Alright... I'm tagging all you closet bloggers out there! You know who you are! You 'guys' who rarely leave comments. This tag is for you.
Stone, Tyler, Brandon, Nathan, Jared, Shane, Kenny... & anyone else who feels brave enough to step out from behind their wives and come clean about this. COME ON... We're dying to hear from you.

Wicked Psyched For Halloween

Halloween 2006

So we just sent Riggin out for his first Halloween Party of the season. It was hosted by his primary teacher and he went dressed as Hell Boy. I guess you know our stance on PG-13 Movies. Anyway Halloween is kinda a big deal around here (Like Me) so I am getting excited. I mean what other Holiday gives the ladies a Free "Dress like a Tramp" Card. And you get candy too.

NOT ASHLEE.... STONE

Wook It!

Me: "Wylie, what are you doing?"
Wylie: "Wook it Mom, I widing da sheep!"




Wylie: "Vroom...Vroom..."
Me: "Wylie, what are you doing?"
Wylie: "I widing da modacycle!"

Summers Over

Well... we have some catching up to do so I wanted to get it done since Ashlee is dragging her feet. We had a action packed end of summer so here are the final activities.

WESTERN IDAHO FAIR
So we will start with the Western Idaho Fair here in Boise. There was rides, food, face painting, cow milking and more food.










LABOR DAY WEEKEND

SAND DUNES
And then there was Labor Day Weekend. We went to Eastrern Idaho to visit the Hilbigs in their new home of Idaho Falls. Twayne and Bug Paid for the whole weekend top to bottom (couldn't as for better in laws). So we made a party out of it. First we went to The sand Dunes in St. Anthony











BEAR WORLD
And then there was "Bear World"....You have to stay in your car, but you drive through this park that has over 50 bears in it. It was pretty awesome. After you leave the bear area they have a crazy petting zoo for the kids and some rides they can ride. It was a good time had by all. Thanks again TW and Bug.













EASTERN IDAHO FAIR
Twayne and I both grew up in Eastern Idaho so we couldn't leave town with out spending some time at the Eastern Idaho Fair. So we met up with Mud and the gang and had a ball.











WEDDING AT SNAG ISLAND
The Next week we went to Seattle for our cousins wedding in Seattle. It was on a private lake in the back yard of this amazing house.















ROCKET TO THE MOON
And then we went to Pocatello to meet Alexa to see another show where her good friend was the drummer for the band "Rocket To The Moon". The kids threw down some dance skills yet again. And Tommy had to use some homemade ear muffs (socks and a beannie) as she wouldn't leave the ear plugs alone.










TOOELE RACE
And last, but not least, we went to Utah to watch our uncle race in the "Mustang Stock Car Series". This is where we saw McDreamy (Previous Post) Where Patrick dempsy races in the "Mazda Series". I t was a blast.
