HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREG!!


I know, I know...his birthday was last Sunday, but I didn't want to leave him out of the spotlight (even if he did leave me for five days to go to texas and wasn't even home on his birthday).

Anyway, a couple of things about Greg...when he was little he was very mischevious. He popped his brother's water bed, just to see what would happen. He shot arrows into the camper of his dad's truck. He pointed BB guns and police men when they were just feet away from him. He pushed on the gas of his g-ma's car when he thought she should be driving faster. Do you wonder why the twins are always into trouble...they come by it innocently.

But we have been together since we were 14 and he was slowly growing out of being mischievious, I thought, until when we were dating and we got into a fight in front of my house, in his truck. He told me to get out and then spinned his wheels so lot's of mud flew up all over me! Nice! But I still stuck around because I was head over heels inlove with this guy (ask my sister's about all the crazy stuff I saved from him) and I'm so glad I did. He is the sweetest man I've met. We have our moments, like yesturday when we got into a small fight (I will blame it on PMS) and so I thought I'd better apologize. So I did by text and I didn't hear from him all day. I thougt he was still mad. When he did finally call he didn't say a thing just started playing Elvis Presley's song "Don't be Cruel". I did have to laugh!! He's a great dad and the boys want to be just like him and I hope they do!! Happy birthday Greg!!

October's Events

I had a bunch of pictures uploaded and my lil stinker snuck under the computer while I was typing under the pictures and turned the computer off! I was livid because it takes so darn long to download anything on my computer. But two days later I've calmed down enough to try and upload some pictures again.

Greg and I went to Hawaii over confrence weekend. Our last night we went to one of the resorts and had a crab bake. It consists of tons and tons of seafood, which did not sit right in my tummy...but the company and our table being right on the beach made up for all of that!

We did a lot of exploring that had us using our 4-wheel drive, but took us to some pretty remote places that were beautiful!

This view is breathtaking! It is at the top of a road that goes down into a valley where people live. You have to either have 4-wheel drive or you have to walk the couple of miles down. Lot's of people backpack down in and stay a few days. That would be fun!

So this happens ALOT with the twins! They are constantly into something, my makeup mostly. They have been potty trained for a few weeks, which puts them in the bathroom constantly and they do naughty things in there like flood toilets or pee all over, but at least they are potty trained!!

Greg took the boys to UT to hunt and Austy got a bumble bee stuck in his ear. So Greg did what any father would do...he got pliers and got it out! Poor Aust!

Carving pumpkins

Myself, Cathie, Robyn and Anne ran the Zombie 1/2 marathon. I was so worried that it was going to snow, but we couldn't have asked for a more perfect fall day! I was border line pnemonia, but I have a goal of running one 1/2 marathon a year and I hadn't done it this year. So I finished 7 minutes slower than I would've liked, but I mostly contribute that to the hill that was ALMOST the whole last mile. Next year the course goes the opposite direction so for sure I'm doing it :)

The kids at joy school had a little party. They practiced a few songs and performed for the mom's. It turned out so cute...which is a miracle because these kids cannot sit still to learn anything!

Chablis and Merm had a fun "witches night out". We ate yummy food and mostly laughed. Thanks for hosting, Chablis!!
