what a weekend!!

on the field after the game. The guys had a fun trip to the New Mexico bowl this weekend. It was lots of hours driving, but well worth it.

the bus ride

Weston at his concert, he is a great dancer and singer. This is him in his "Pitch Brown shirt."

can you pick him out of the animal crowd?

Ouch!!

I hope one of my family members can help me get these out over Christmas break. We are going to be in Cascade ID, for the holidays.

I had minor surgery, that felt like major surgery on Tuesday. It really looks better in the pictures.

I had to put something cute in the post.

Wes has his concert tonight and according to him "I need a pitch brown shirt." Pitch brown...like pitch black. The mind of a first grader.

I have been struggling with Kameron's Christmas presents this year. The other boys had lots of ideal for Santa. Kam couldn't come up with anything but a $200 IPOD. I have been thinking for a long time and thought of the prefect gift. I nice book light. He loves to read, in the car, and bed everywhere. It was a great ideal.

On Tuesday he went to a book competition. Where they read 10 certain books and then take a test on them. Kameron's team won, he was really please with everything because... they won a nice trophy and a BOOK LIGHT!!! It was a great ideal, because he loves the book light. Now I'm defiantly at a lose.

If you have a good idea for a 13 year old boy. Please let me know.

The spending TREE!

Doug and the boys are getting excited to go to New Mexico this weekend. It is the Wyoming Bowl game. I'm staying home with Ren, I'm sad my dad grew up in New Mexico I would of liked to see the state.
I took the car in to get a tuneup for the trip, oil change and tires rotated. The oil guy told me, our seals on the transmission are shot. It needs to be fixed right away! There is no transmission fluid in your transmission. It will be thousands of dollar fix. Oh that is great.
We had just dropped our steer off at the butcher shop that morning.
I took it straight to the shop and they gave me a lot better quote then the tire guys. Thank goodness. So we are one car down this morning. Doug left the Trooper for me today because I have to go to Cody for a few doctors appointment. He took the barely working un licensed van to work. We are planning on selling the van as soon as we get it fixed but who knows when that is going to be.
We have been very blessed this last month with lots of reffing for Doug. So our savings account looks nice but probably not so nice after this weekend.
I have the day off from babysitting it was nice to go to the gym with only one kid. Well I could write for another hour about all the little drama. But then I would have no reason to call everyone. Have a nice day.

It's really cold!!

We started the day at -20, isn't that crazy. It was just 50 and 60 a week and a half ago. Needless to say I'm not out and about much. Doug is taking Kameron to the doctor and going to Walmart for me. I have to work tonight and wouldn't be home in time. It was Cole's last game yesterday, his team beat Lovell. I won't say anymore about that. I heard there were parent thrown out of the 8th game. It was a mess.
Luckily I missed the bad game because Kameron was giving a presentation at the school board meeting. He did a great job.
We got home a 8:30 and the dinner I had made was cold. Everyone pitch in a we warmed it up had dinner, Wyatt did a great job on dishes, and we were in bed by 9:30.
Our day is about that busy today. Kameron doctors appointment, groceries and scouts. I better get moving.

Ren's request

"Mom I want you to make cookies. I will crake the eggs and eat the dough!" Doesn't he realise the hard spot he puts me. Don't get me wrong I love to make cookies. The problem is I eat the cookies. I need to find a recipe I don't like. I bet I can find one with cinnamon. Well I better get busy making some cookies. Spoil kid.

the big chill

4 degrees this morning, brr. It was 30 yesterday morning. We haven't got any snow but everyone around us has. We went to Cole's game in Worland last night. They did a good job. I think they won by around 10 points. Cole had 6 points. I didn't get to watch alot, Ren came and sat on my lap and said his tummy hurt. About 2 minutes later he started throwing up all over himself and on me of course. The people in the Worland school were so nice they took good care of us. It must of been a 30 minute bug because he had french fries and pop on the way home from the game. Who knows.
I did some more decorating yesterday the house is getting very festive.
I'm getting excited for the craft fair on Saturday. It will be fun.
On the 14th we take our steer in to be butcher. I hope we know what we are getting into. It is a big cow. I guess it is a good thing the boys only got one deer this year.
I got 4 moles removed last week, there is a really funny story behind it. I don't have enough guts to post it so next time you see me ask me about it. Anyway I had two testes that where bad so I have to go back and get some more skin around them removed. I hope I live, it really hurt last time.
Well I better get moving the gym is calling my name. Have a great day.
