Halloween!

Hi Mom and I were lucky enough to be able to go to the Halloween party for our Chubbuck Lions Club last night and I had a ton of fun, although I missed my hubby who was home with the sick kiddo. Trevor had the flu but seems to be doing much better now. My Mom went as a scare crow and I went as a Hippie; we both won prizes for our costumes and I won for most original food when I made my "kittie litter" cake and took it for everyone to enjoy. It is great cake, really moist but it looks like a litter box, poop and all, I loved it! Later, Amy

Beauty abounds

Hi, the kids and I took a stroll around our block on Saturday and I took my camera. I am so grateful to live where I do; we are five minutes away from a store and on a dead end street full of mature trees and shrubs. We even have pheasants on our street most of the time. I really had a good time and even managed to get the kids out of the house for thirty minutes! Lol! Later, Amy

new shelves

My husband was kind enough to hang two new shelves in the kitchen, this is the space the washer and dryer used to be in and it will eventually be closed behind doors. Later, Amy

Home improvements continue

Ok so we were caught a little off gaurd by the cold weather and I have been running around like a chicken trying to get some things taken care of with the house to help winterize a little more. I got new curtins up over the big window in the kitchen finally under my valance that has been up for a while. I was very excited over having them up to help cut down on the cold coming in from the huge window. Also Travis made the mistake of showing me that the previous owners of the house had left us a big, heavy and beautiful screen door in the back shed so I convinced him we should put it up. He and his friend Terry installed it last night in the freezing cold but it looks really great and I am so excited to have it up to help keep out some of the cold and be able to still get great light in the living room in the afternoon on the rare warm days left! They did a great job and Travis has been a great sport helping me with some of the "taller" projects I get us into. Lol! Later, Amy

Winter is here!

Ok some of you may not know it but winter is here! We woke up to snow that actually stuck on the ground and it was still snowing yesterday morning for hours into our work day. Sometimes I really hate being where it is cold so much out of the year but then I remember that not more than 15 minutes away is beautiful spot for a family outing no matter what direction I go in.

Work it!

Lol, my Mom thought this was the cutest thing and just had to ask my when Trevor started doing it and I had to tell her I had never seen him do it before! He was doing push ups both front and back, then he would lie on his back and lift his legs up high. It was very cute but proves that he can't be mine or Travis' and was switched at birth with someone's family! Lol! Just kidding, we love this kid and he keeps us on our toes. Later, Amy

City Creek, Pocatello, Idaho

Who know this was here? I have lived in Pocatello for 11 years and didn't know we had huge trails and roads (if you can call it that!) right in town practically! My friend Jenni say a post on a blog for some photos taken here so Travis and I packed up the kids and the puppy last night and went for an evening drive. The road was a bit rough but after about 2 miles it has lots of pretty trees and a little creek running along the side of the road. It was a good night out with the family. Later, Amy

Ice man!

This just proves every parents thoughts, kids don't care how cold it is outside as long as they don't have school they will be outside playing! Lol! Eric was out of school this Thursday and Friday and yesterday when I walked out my back door to check on him it took me a minute to figure out what I could see on the trampoline with him. It was ice that he had broke up jumping on it. It has been very cold here and we even got a little snow Wednesday night that melted off by morning. Later, Amy
