Getting Ready for Halloween

Last Saturday we went to pick 2 pumpkins for Halloween. Bella and I decorated the pumpkins, we didn't carve them yet, that will be for next week so the pumpkins don't get to wrinkled for the big day. Here we are at the Jeremy's Pumpkins in our little town. All the scary decorations are this pumpkin place, not ours, no way! we like Halloween, but we don't love it that much to decorate the house with scary witches or headless guys or skeletons, we'll stick to pumpkins!

The Many Faces of Franklin

 

Familia Moose on the Loose!

 
We were coming home on Sunday after spending time with Zach's family and to our surprise a moose family came running down the road, we stopped and took a picture as fast as I could. There were 2 big moose and a smaller one. Pretty neat, no creen? (dont you think?)

It's cold mom!

 

OK I will be silly for you!

 

Here's a big smile for you and your friends!

 

Last Friday, October 3rd, I woke up early and decided to go for a walk with the most beautiful boy in the world. When I was headed out of our street, I was pretty awe struck with the powerful sunrise and then I caught a little spark coming from the ground, I thought maybe I found a shiny diamond ring or something valuable like that, well, I caught a beautiful sight of nature's morning gems. The grass and weeds were elegantly dressed with perfect dew. That really brightened my day. The dew looked to me like really priceless jewels and that pretty much made my day. And not to mention the toothy-mega smiles from Franklin. I am really grateful for life's simple gifts to me. Thank you life, you are very kind!

 

 

 

 

I have never met a baby that doesnt sleep with their booties up in the air. Franklin falls asleep like this everytime I think it is the cutest thing in the world!
Chabelita loves to eat french toast for breakfast! Here she is her mouth full.

This is Zach just before he went to work, he was very happy, so he did his happy dance!

Here is Franklin happy at his high chair because food is coming!

On my mind is the fact that I need to lose some serious weight! There is a commercial on t.v. for a weight loss product, I dont know what it is, nor do I care, it shows 2 different people walking by, their heads are not shown, only their bodies with tight outdated clothes. These 2 people are overweight, then the commercial shows a super skinny girl! It's pretty funny. I dont believe those pills work, they are selling the hope of being thinner. Being thin is do-able if you are willing to change your eating habits and move your body more! It's all in one's true intentions. I want to lose weight so that I can stay healthy and with energy, if the good looks improve well, I will not oppose that!

Disc Golfmania

Zach is in love with this sport. He is pretty good at, ok, ok, he is so great at it he may soon be the most famous, professional disc golfer in the whole state! Go Zach!!!

Funny Man!

Last Friday Night, Zach and I went to watch Jim Gaffigan in Boise, he performed at the Morrison Center. I really liked Jim because he was very clean in his language. Most comedians like to curse like they have the devil in their mouths, why? no need to be vulgar to be funny. There are many excellent comedians that dont swear. I like Ellen Degenerous for that reason, Bill Cosby, anyways, a bunch. After the show we stuck around for almost an hour to get Jim's autograph, he was pretty cool, down to earth and I appreciate that in famous people, you know what? famous people are still people, they just have a little more talent at performing, maybe they are lucky, some may be pretty to look at, but at the end of the day they are just people, they get hungry, they have feelings, and so I conclude my Gaffigan shpill with: He was a funny guy, he was down to earth, not the prettiest man to look at, but he's cool (The Sexy Tour, should be changed though because in his skit all he talked about was BACON, being Lazy and the famous Hot Pockets...read that last item with the jingle please for maximum funny effect). Zach had Jim autograph one of his many many discs. When he got it he asked, what is this? Zach said "it is a disc golf disc, you play disc golf with it! Have you ever heard of this sport?" to the which JG said "Whattadaya throw it to a pin or what? I think you're making this up" then in his secondary weirded out sounding voice he mimicked Zach "I'll tell him its a special golf disc and he'll buy it!"

We had a lot of fun. We dont go on many dates so thanks to Paula and Don for hanging out with the 2 coolest kids in the universe, thanks u guys!

Mother nature likes to play with my emotions! At night she sends us crispy cold weather and in the day toasty hot weather, Zach turned on the heater 2 nights ago. Last night I just closed the windows and the house was just fine! I like not having to fire up the heater or crank on the AC. I guess that time is not yet here because I had to turn on the AC.

Franklin is a walking boy, almost a running boy. Last Thursday night he decided to catch himself from falling on the driveway, he got a pretty nice scrape on his forehead. I would say a good 2 inches tall and 1 inch wide. I am taking care of a little neighbor, (one month older than my angel) he too fell at his house, scraping his nose, right on the tip, nice and big. I went to Target and took all my kids, mine and the borrowed ones. That must have been an interesting trip to the store, I didn't get any dirty looks from other customers. Don saw us before we went to the store, he said: "I hope people don't think you beat these poor boys!"
Franklin's forehead is clear, it healed in less than 1 week. Yeah! But now he's got a cold! Yeah! It never ends!
