Lady's Got A Gun

This is the gun that Dustin got me for Christmas. We went out on Saturday to site it in and get some practice. We went with Dad, Grant, Tawny, and her little brother whose name I can't remember. We did some pigon shooting of which I suck at. But it was lots of fun and I can't wait to do it again!

Super Why

I have looked everywhere for a Super Why costume and have been unsuccessful in finding one. They are sold out in stores and on line. So on Monday I went to mom's house for help in making one. It took some doing and some creativity (which I don't possess much of), but we did it. I tried to lay out the costume and take a picture while Brennden was asleep. I did, but then Charity woke up and the costume got left on the floor. When Brennden woke up and saw it he just had to wear it. And he actually wanted to put the cape on! I was wondering if he would even like the cape part.

And then of course he had to do a super hero pose. I knew if I could make it that he would just love it. I couldn't get him to take it off until dinner so that he wouldn't spill on it. Now let's just see how long I have a 'Super Why' running around the house until I get Brennden back.

Big Scare

Last night Dustin and I went to Mom and Dad's to help pack for the hunt. Dustin drove one of the hunting trucks back and I drove his truck back. Brennden kept telling me he needed help but wouldn't tell me what he needed help with. I thought he wanted a drink or his toy so I told him he had to wait. He kept pestering me so I finally turned on a light and looked back at him. To my horror I couldn't see his seat belt. I hurried and pulled over to fix it, and lo and behold, the first place to pull over into was the X rated store parking lot. Oh my! I hope nobody that I know saw me pull over and get out of the truck there. I can only imagine what they would be thinking. Anyways, Brennden's seat belt was only half way off. He had taken his arms out and pushed the buckle down into his lap. I guess he realized what he had done and tried to get my help. I'm glad he kept pestering me because it could have turned out really bad if we had gotten into an accident. Thank goodness everything turned out to be fine and I hope that Brennden learned not to do that ever again.

Freeze Time

My plants were doing pretty good with the temperature in the thirties, but.... It got to 22 degrees (breaking the record FYI), and this is the result. It makes me sad to look at them. They are supposed to come back every year though so I guess I will have to wait and see. I was able to save my starters ones though. I brought them inside a few days ago so if worse comes to worse at least I will have a few for next year.

A New Calling

So, I already have visiting teaching, and Enrichment Night Committee Board Member, but now I have another one. Dustin has to share it with me though. We are Zone Leaders. If there were to be a disaster in our area we have to contact and help anyone in our 'zone' and contact the control center to report what it going on. Right now it isn't too bad but I don't ever want to actually do it! We are the youngest in our neighborhood so I don't really know why we were picked but.... We'll do what we can and hope nothing ever happens.

Strange Sleeper

Just about every night we find Brennden like this. His head under the covers and something in his bed. I've found tissue, Tigger, his Elmo chair, trucks, ect.... But if it gives him comfort and helps him go to sleep, I could care less.

Yum Yum

Charity keeps watching me eat so I thought I'd try to give her some cereal. She kept putting her fingers in her mouth as soon as the spoon touched her lips. Then she took the spoon from me and tried for herself. She thinks she's so big.

Traveling Man

As most of you know I travel alot for work. Here is a sample of what I have done in the last two weeks. Miles are total for the day rounded off.
Mon, Aneth, Utah 250 miles
Tues, Bayfield, Colorado 160 miles
Wed, Sky City, New Mexico 600 miles
Thurs, Mountains near Cuba, New Mexico, 300 miles
Fri, Espanola, New Mexico, 480 miles
Sat, Bernallio, New Mexico, 340 miles
Sun, Valles Caldera, New Mexico 550 miles
Mon, Running around various sites near Aztec, New Mexico, 120 miles
Tues, Running around various sites near Cedar Hill, New Mexico, 100 miles
Wed, Middle of Jicarilla Reservation, New Mexico, 250 miles
Thurs, Espanola and Bernallio, New Mexico, 500 miles
Fri, Bloomfield, New Mexico, 10 miles
Sat, Ignacio, Colorado, 110 miles
Mon, Holbrook, Arizona, 500 miles
For those of you keeping track that is roughly 4,270 miles in the last 15 days, no I didnt drive all of them but I would say I drove 60% of them. My weekly average is usually about 1,250 miles.

So Realistic

I went and got the kids pictures taken a week or two ago. I almost didn't get one of them together because by the time we got Charity's done they were both not in a good mood. But I just couldn't pass this one up. At first I didn't get it but then I called back and had them print one off for me. It's just to realistic not to get it. I think it is a cute pic of them together.

Oh My!

Ok guys, you might not care to read this one. I keep tampons and pads in my diaper bag just in case. Well, Brennden found them. I have the compact ones and he thought that it was candy. He brought one up to me and asked me to open it so that he could eat it. I told him it wasn't candy and to go put it back. He didn't believe me. He went into the living room and opened it up. I found the wrapper on the floor so I know he had done something with it. And he had. He was playing with a plastic spoon that I use for cooking. On it was the tampon case, the string stuck between the case and the spoon, and the tampon was swinging around. Boy do I have an embarrassing story to tell his girlfriends when he is older.
