Useless Information

I borrowed my moms treadmill for the winter so I don't have to drag myself out into the cold to run.

I HATE the cold. Let's move someplace eternally warm.

Kennedy pretends to talk on the phone if she sees one or if one rings. She puts the back of her hand to her ear and babbles. It's so cute.

Kennedy is pretty darn good at hide and seek. She'll find a book, sit down in a corner and silently flip through pages while I frantically shuffle around the house looking for her.

It's usually not a good thing if I don't hear her making noise... This usually means that she is doing something she is not supposed to.

Judd is almost done with our master bathroom!!!! I'll post pictures when it's all finished.

It took me 2 days to rake the front and back yard. Not because I am slow. Can I cut the trees down?

I want a dog, no a cat. no dog. cat. dog. I can never make up my mind. When I do I think about scooping poop and I quickly change to not wanting any animal. Too bad there aren't poop-less animals, after all they have hairless ones.

I miss my power steering. It's been out for 2 months. It's a killer trying to park at the university.

We should own stock in Home Depot. We have spent WAY too much there.

AT&T is a rip off. Magic Jack is great, 20 dollars a year and you can call free long distance and international to anyone who has a Magic Jack.

I am going to run a full marathon this next summer... If I don't die trying.

Life changes too quickly. I wish there was a rewind. It's so easy to take things for granted until they are gone.

My neighbor has chickens and gives us fresh eggs every week, how cool is that?

If I could have any talent, I would like to be an amazing chef.

That's all for this installment of useless information.

Halloween

Our little bumble bee :)


I took Q-tips and colored them black them hot-glued yellow puff balls onto the ends to make her antennae

I also made my costume..... I was supposed to be a flower.... Get it? A bumble bee and a flower... Anyway, my pedals were a little limp so I looked more like a clown than a flower.... Oh well, I knew what I was.

Lady Gaga stopped by.

I didn't ask, but I'm pretty sure that Amber was a punk rocker? Don't hate me if I'm wrong.

Chad was a bar code. He made this costume himself, which is very impressive considering I could't get Judd within 10 feet of putting on a costume.

Amber made Conners little monkey costume

Sidewalk Chalk

She got more chalk on her bum and in her mouth than she did on the sidewalk.

Take a Hike

Fun. Hiking. Pictures.
Here is one of Kennedy pulling Judds hair..... So funny :)



I love the Fall... So many beautiful colors.

Playing in the rocks.... Like usual.

The Big 2. 7.

After Danes home coming Judds parents, Cara, Travis, Chloe and Abbie came over for some cake and ice cream to celebrate my 27th. Cara made the cake and it was D- licious :) Here are a few pictures...
I can't get Judd to NOT stick out his tongue in pictures.

Uncle Trav being over-run by little girls. (Doesn't he look sooooo excited?)

There are way too many candles on that cake.

Little Mess Maker

Kennedy likes to eat leaves.....

Lots and lots of leaves.

Playing with dads climbing ropes in the back yard.

The aftermath of Kennedy digging through every last piece of fabric I own :) She looks so innocent doesn't she?

She loves to stand on her head... I guess Judd did that a lot when he was a kid. Maybe it is hereditary?

Utah State Fair

Kennedy and I went to the Utah State Fair with my sister Camille and her sons. It was so much fun! They had sharks, a live bear show, and tons of exhibits to see.... But the best part was "Little hands on the farm".

You go into a "barn" and put on a teeny apron and grab a basket. As you go through the farm there are successive buildings with different activities...
ie; you take corn to a (plastic) mooing cow and then milk (water) the cow. In return they give you a bottle of milk.

You pick apples from a tree, plant seeds in a garden, pick vegetables, gather wooden eggs from fake chickens, collect wool from a sheep etc...

Petting the sheep :)

And at the end you trade all of the things you have collected in return for a fake dollar.
They have a little store set up at the end where you can buy any one thing with your dollar. Kennedy had so much fun, but I think next year she might like it a little more, and maybe she won't be afraid of the chickens :)

OK, so I look like I am going to eat someone, but I was really being a newscaster :)

Watching the Bear show.
