We got a new puppy that we named Dandy. He is an toy/mini Australian shephard. They boys love playing with him outside, but he gets too rough for them sometimes. Isn't he adorable!

This year was Owen's first Halloween and Gavin's first time trick or treating. We went to a few houses and Gavin was more interested in checking out everyone's house than anything else. He also liked putting the candy in his pumpkin bucket. Owen slept the entire time in the stroller. It was a wonderful evening and perfect weather for a stroll around the block. The boys sure looked cute in their costumes.

I've been tagged by my Aunt Denise, so here goes...

What I was doing...
20 years ago...
1. I was going to my first year of kindergarten.
2. Went on a 5 year old hike/camping trip with my dad.
(when we turned 5 we got to go camping with dad and got a backpack and mummy bag)



10 years ago...
1. I was in 9th grade at Pleasant Grove High School
2. I joined the track team and the marching band (I played the flute).
3. I learned how to better style my curly hair and began to like it.

5 years ago...
1. I attended Utah Valley State college and had received an associates degree the next year in Multimedia Communications Technology.
2. I ran on the Track and cross country team at UVSC.
3. I worked at the UVSC bookstore with my mom.


1 year ago...
1. Gavin had his first birthday.
2. I was 8 months pregnant with baby number two and began driving to Provo for IV iron treatments 2 times a week since my iron was so low.
3. We bought a Toyota Camry since I spilled a full gallon of milk in our Honda on the way home from the dairy. We had the car scrubbed several times, but the smell would not go away.

This year so far...
1. We moved into Justin & Darla's modular home two weeks after Owen was born and couldn't have any visitors because of the risk of Owen getting RSV.
2. We got two horses, guineas, chickens, and a toy/mini Australian shepherd.
3. We bought a Toyota Land Cruiser that runs on natural gas and gas. Our gas bill has gone way down since natural gas is only 86 cents a gallon. Now we just need to sell our car.
4. I'm having a hair crisis. My curly hair is almost gone, so now I don't know what to do with it anymore. It takes forever to straighten, but doesn't look very good curly. Ugh.

Yesterday...
1. Gavin and Owen went trick or treating for the first time.
2. Gavin was a bumble bee and Owen a pumpkin.
3. We handed candy out at Nate's parents home because they are gone to Texas and no one trick or treats at our house.

Today...
1. I'm thinking about going to the annual boutique. I don't plan on buying anything but it is fun to browse and see all the cute decorations.
2. Nate is off work today, so hopefully we can do something fun. Right now he is outside cutting firewood with Gavin. I think I will go join them and play with the dogs.
3. I would like to go on a horse ride, but I don't think it will happen.

Tomorrow...
1. I'll get to sleep in, then get the boys ready for church.
2. Go to church and play with all the kids in nursery.
3. Relax, read a good book, play with the boys.

I tag my Dad, Darla, and Loreen
