SNOW!!!

Last weekend was General Conference which was wonderful!! We watched the brodacast as Michael's parents house while also watching 9 inches on heavy wet snow fall down outside! ; it came soo early that all the green leaves fell from uor tree on Monday to blanket our lawn and cars! It was quite a funny sight! Today it started snowing again and hasn't stopped! Another cold snowy weekend! Too early for my taste and I miss the fall we didn't get!! I am still hoping it warms up and we get some nice cool wheather before winter stays around but sho knows!! Here are some pics of Nathan's experience with the new weather changes!! Hope you all are doing well!!

Lots of leaves~

Tearing them of the poor limb that broke off our tree! There were tons all around town!

Trip to Idaho Falls

In September we went to Idaho Falls, Id for Michael's mission reunion. Among other things we got to stop in Jackson Hole, Wy and browse around a bit which was way fun, see the Teton's, go to the Idaho Falls temple (GORGEOUS) and visit the largest Jackolope ever! I have a tradition when we go in big family trips (okay this wasn';t that big!) I like to buy a cookie cutter to remember it by. Well, I walked up and down the street in Jackson trying to find a cookie cutter and couldn't find a single one! So while Michael was at the temple in Idaho Falls, I found a DI center and was browseing and lo and behold I found a single solitary foot cookie cutter! It was 10 cents so I had to buy it! Funny what you will do for a tradition!! :) Our hotel was great, we used Priceline for the first time and we were very happy with our results! We were able to go swimming which Nathan really enjoyed. When we got back to our room, Nathan grabbed Michaels glasses off the dresser and off snapped the side!!! It was soo crazy and totally hilarious! So we are working on trying to get those fixed still! It definatly was a trip to remember! Here are some pics we took!

Totally made our of antlers! It was a big arch really cool and they have more than one!

The gorgeous Tetons! On our way home we say a MOOSE! Apprently, Yellowstone is having trouble keeping these in the park and we found one right outside Jackson!

Our good little travler!

The world famous Jackalope!

Long overdue Update!

Lets just say this is long overdue!! We finally had some really warm weather in September and Nathan and his friend Benjamin got to play in the kiddie pool! Nathan LOVED the water and just had lots of fun and laughs! I enjoyed it too! Especially the part where Nathan didn't burn!! Benjamin is 6 months older than Nathan and I remember meeting his mom Heidi in Laramie, Wy when she was pregnant with him! Nathan came along right after they moved (I think) and this summer we found both of ourselves in Riverton, Wy! What a small world!

A little Cold!

Splash Time!

Water up the nose! :)

Happy Birthday!

Just need to say HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY to Kolter and Isaac!! Hope you guys have lots of fun in Laramie!!!

Also a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Karissa!! 12 years on the 22nd! Crazy how fast time goes!! HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT ONE!!!

Lots of love!!

A New Way to Fry Donuts

Well, I went to Smiths on Thursday and they had the marked down boxes of donuts. I knew I really didn't need them but I coulnt' resist thier tempting crys down the aisle. So I bought them made sure they made it home and set them on the stove while I started dinner. I was running late so a meal of hot dogs and mac and cheese was going to be our fabulous cuisine of the evening. I started the two burners to boil water and went outside to push Nathan is his swing because he has been such a good boy at the store. As I was playing with his little feet and making him laugh I suddenly smelt something burning! I run inside and found my box of donuts on fire!! I stood there for a second and just watched the flames dance and cook my delicious donuts. I put out the fire, noticed the house was full of smoke, opened the windows and went back outside to play with Nathan. After all no use crying over the milk I would have drank with the donuts! I had turned on the wrong burner as I have done three or four times scince we moved into our new place! Well, I'll get it sooner or later! Hope you have a great week!

The spots are....

Well, when we got back from Billings, Mt Michael started to break out in a bite-like/ rash sort of thing that really itched and made his life no fun. Well we went to the Doc. on Monday and they said that it was mites and so gave us a prescription for a lotion (that cost $140) that was a one time use and a pill for the itching. We did as the instructions said and the rash just got worse! I bug bombed the house we washed EVERYTHING and just couldn't figure out what was going on. Micheals spots where getting to be everywhere and his joints were starting to act up to. So today (Friday) we went back to the doctor. He ran some blood tests and found out that Michael has mono! Who know where he got it! I am pretty sure Nathan has it too because he has definatly not been his cute charming self the last few days. So our family is resting as that is the only thing to help Mono and I am going to be making sure Nathan gets his share of the Tylenol! :) Hope you all are doing well and have a great weekend!
