Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Mom and Jordan. Hope you guys have a great day!!

I Voted!

We are watching channel seven news and we decide that we better get down there and vote before it gets too crowded. Michelle says "does my hair look OK" Stillman says "to go vote, yes it looks fine" So we head down to vote and while I am voting a bright light comes on and I hear the news channel seven gal start doing her broadcast. We turn around and sure enough we are on T.V. We then get lots of phone calls telling us that they can see us on t.v. We took full advantage and showed off our cute little boy. Our other cute little boy was sitting in the stroller. very tired.
update: we just got to watch the replay on 24 7 and Alex was on TV as well.

Harvest Fun

Halloween Party!

Well our halloween party went off without a hitch. The weather was perfect. We didn't even get the projected rain. We had a delicious dinner of Soup Salad and Weiner Wraps. We played Bobbing for Donuts, and had a pinata. It was great fun. We then took the kids Trick or Treating. Before halloween I had discussed with Alex safty rules for trick or treating. It was all in vain as he entered every house that had a cute puppy. It was hard to get him out of the houses as the hord of kids that were blocking the doors. At one house even the men got a little treat. I will leave that to your imagination. you would have thought we were trick or treating a hugh Heffners house. Jayden slept through his first Halloween, but woke up after every one left and was even happy enough to try on his costume to take a picture with his parents and check out his goodie bag. Good thing I reused Alex's old costume. We then went to Deedra's house and watched Wait Till Dark. It was great ending to a spooky night! Hope everyone had a safe Halloween!

Killer Whales and Chocolate

So Twice in the last month I have had dreams of killer whales. The first time we were in some sort of river canyon. Something like the Grand Canyon. In a sort of rock cave. The river is very deep and there are three Orcas swimming in the river. Stillman is down very close and they keep tapping him with there noses. I keep telling him that he needs to not stand so close to them. They keep tapping him and I am stressing out that he is not listening to me because I know that Orcas play with their food first........ and then Jayden cries and I wake up.

The second dream our garage is a pool and we have an Orca as a pet. The Orca can talk to me. We can swim with it, but I don't let Alex swim with it. When we are in our van the orca pushes us around our garage-pool.......and then Jayden cries and I wake up.

So I looked up what it means to dream about orcas, Not that I put much, or any stock in that sort of stuff. Dream of Orcas and it means that you are going to have good luck, you are completely satisfied with your life, or you do not trust your protector. So I must be completely satisfied in not trusting my protector....nope doesn't sound right.....must be good luck!

Or maybe Alex found my Orca blanket and has been sleeping with it on the floor next to my bed.

Oh and I learned today that eating dark chocolate can help with breast cancer. So in honor of breast cancer awareness month eat some dark chocolate!

Fall Photos

I have had a couple of people ask to have thier fall pictures taken. Or Winter pictures. So just give me a call and we can set up a time to go take them. Right now is a good time if you want pretty leaves. Remember I do family for free!!

Linder Farms

We took the kids to Linder Farms on Saturday. Mostly just for an October type experience. We didn't actually do the corn maze, but the kids had fun doing the other stuff they have there. Alex loved the hay bale maze he ran through about five times. They had a Hayride that we rode out to the petting Zoo and to pick out a pumpkin out of a pumpkin patch that was just his size. Alex called everything that he didn't recognise a llama. "No that's a Camel." "No that's an Oxen."Yes, That is a llama." Alex was very excited to see a zebra and a camel in real life. His favorite thing was the cow ride train. we only ended up spending about $4.00. We also ran into some familiar faces. while we were sitting on the hayride Tamara found us! In the end Alex could not find a pumpkin that was small enough to be just his size so he settled on a gourd. He carries it everywhere, and is very concerned about the fate of his pumpkin come Halloween. I told him he does not have to carve his pumpkin, but that trust me gourds do not live forever. I tried saving a couple of gourds two years ago in an air tight bin. Not smart. I ended up having to throw everything in that bin away.
