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.

sitting up. again.

The other day we were cooking dinner. We put Jayden on his tummy in the Green room (Alex's word for the frontroom with the green carpet.) and when I went in to check on him he was sitting up! He has been very sneaky about it and only sitting up when we leave the room. Everytime now when we check on him in his crib he is sitting up. However he has become less shy now and loves to show off. He tried so hard to show grandma Donna how he could sit up that he fell over and bonked his nose. so sad. He is gettting quite good at it, now though. I know this picture looks very similar to the one before. But I document my kids milestones by taking pictures and then later I have the date to write in their baby book. So the picture before is when he could sit up, this picture is him being able to get into a sitting position all by himself. I know, I'm a mom.

Halloween Party!!!!!!!

Hey This year we are doing a progressive Halloween party. Our motto is K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid)
It takes place on Halloween this year, Friday the 31st.

from 5:30-7:00 we are meeting at our house for a couple of Halloween activities, dinner, and pictures.
We are having a Top Ramen salad, soup, rolls and wiener wraps. We will have a pinata and bobbing for donuts. I will also have a picture area set up.

At 7:00 we will be heading over to a neighborhood at Nate and Melissa's for some trick or treating. This is a very safe area. No registered sex offenders there. Yes I checked.

After that we will be heading over to Deedra's to watch a movie, Wait Until Dark (or if someone has another idea.....) and eat some ghoulish treats. We will have a kids movie set up also.

You need to bring a camp chair or pillows for the movie and a Ghoulish treat. We also have some food assignments for you. Call me if you don't have one. If you are inviting extended family just have them bring a treat for the movie time.

If anyone would like, our ward is having a carnival and trunk or treat the night before. Thursday the 30th. You are all invited to that if you want your kids to still attend a trunk or treat. If you can't make it for the dinner and trick or treating part feel free to join us for the movie part. Or Vice Versa.
R.S.V.P. with your invitees here in the comments section or call me.
