We had a great Halloween. The kids got a ton of candy!!!! I can hardly believe it is almost gone!!! O'well the faster it goes away the less tempting it will be, right. :) I remember as a kid bringing handfuls of candy to school and the kids haven't done that (that I know of). Kinda funny. We have our Halloween decor down and our Thanksgiving decor up. I want to put our Christmas tree up but Troy voted not to. :( I guess I can wait a few more weeks.

Today has been pretty fun. Dustin and I went to the elementary school and helped in Jimmy and Cameron's classes. They had their Halloween parties. Lots of junk food and crafty things. I was pretty tired after. Dustin was on a sugar high though. Then at 2:00 we picked up Sarah and went over to the high school and trick or treated through the halls. It was pretty cool. For some reason Jimmy is being a butt this year and wont dress up. I did get him into a costume before we left to go to the high school but be wouldn't get out of the car when we got there. So there he stayed :( I guess he is just to cool for Halloween. Of course he is not to cool to mooch candy off his younger brothers when we all got home. I told them not to share but they are nicer than me because they did anyway.
I am trying to talk Troy into taking us to the dog park so the dogs can burn off some of their energy. But he just got home from work and is pretty tired. Maybe later........

Okay so our new dogie, Sadie, needed a hair cut. So being the cheapo I am I decided to "groom" her myself. She did great, me not so much. I got her half way done and decided I needed a break. It took me 1 hour to get this much done. You can't see from the picture but the other side of her back is still fluffy. I got her back legs, belly and one side of her back done. YEAH ME. Poor her.

Today is my birthday!!!! I am 32 years old! I am having a pretty good day so far. Troy sang happy birthday to me this morning and Sarah crawled in bed with me after Troy went to work and said happy birthday with her fabulous morning breath. :)

Sarah told me yesterday I needed to update my blog because it had a fourth of July background. So this is for her. I feel like I haven't posted in forever. I have been taking classes online and that has consumed alot of my time. The rest of my time goes to cooking and cleaning and being a wife and mom. PHEW......no wonder I am tired all the time!!! O'well it is worth it!!!

We have a new dog to. This one is actually staying. haha. Troy found her while we were in Salt Lake a few weekends ago. She is pretty cute but alot of work. She can't stand to be alone so night time is extremely hard for her. We are also having to housebreak her. Not fun, but she is doing pretty good thanks to Daisy. She has showed her the ropes and what to do when outside and all that good stuff. She must still be in mother dog mode because she disciplines the puppy when she gets to rowdy. Kinda funny. The new puppy is a Lahsa apso. We named her Sadie. I gave her half a hair cut yesterday so she is looking super funny. Poor dog. Hopefully I can finish it today.

Well Cameron finally lost his first tooth. He has been wiggling it for several days and really wanted to loose it at school but it didn't happen. Friday after school he kept asking me to pull it out for him so I would sit and wiggle it for a while (until he made me stop). Then we made a deal. I told him if he lost his tooth today I would buy him some ice cream. He thought about it for a while and finally Friday evening he came up to me and told me to pull his tooth out. It was pretty easy. I grabbed hold of it and twisted a little and it came right out. He really didn't even care. Then he went an announced to Troy that we had to take him right now and get some ice cream! We took him to Lin's and let him choose what he wanted and he ended up getting stuff for root beer floats. He also made sure he had the biggest serving because it was because of him that everyone got to have a root beer float! Pretty exciting I know!

Piggy Babies!!!!

Our pig finally popped! She had four little pigs this morning when I checked on her. She must have had them in the middle of the night because they weren't there when we went to bed last night either. I have to say they are the CUTEST pigs I have ever seen!!! They all have crazy hair and cool colors. They are so small to! I can't believe she had four. Well I can because she was SO huge. Poor thing :( Four must be our lucky number this time around. The kids were excited they all said, "Now we can each hold a puppy and a pig." It was so cute.

The puppies are doing good also. Their eyes are starting to open and the kids have been able to start holding them. They are two and a half weeks old now. I need to post new pictures of them they have grown so much and are getting cuter and cuter. Daisy seems alot happier to.

We survived the first day of school! They all had a blast! No tears! They all came home and talked my ears off :) Sarah did have a slight incident but everything turned out fine. She miss understood that I would pick her up after school and got onto a bus. I was totally frantic after about 20 min of sitting at the school waiting for her. I drove back home to see if she had walked and she wasn't there. I called Troy and told him what was going on and he suggested to just go back to the school. So I did. i was headed into the school to look for her and my cell phone rang. It was Sarah on the bus drivers cell phone. She was at Dixie High School, which is about 10-15 min from our house! I had a holly come apart! I went and picked her up and drove back to the school and talked to them about the confusion. Apparently I wasn't the only one who had the problem. There were a few other parents in the office looking for their kids also. SCARY!! But for the most part she had an awesome day. I am so happy they are all happy with their teachers. They all looked so cute in their new clothes and backpacks :)

Sarah got a cute new haircut for school.
