Livin' in the Mountains!

Wow so around this time of year time does fly!! We were able to host for Thanksgiving this year it was great. Although a few days before thanksgiving we had an incident. With how high we are on the Mountain we have a lot of deer in our yard. I was on my way home from a baby shower and Spencer called asking where the camera was. He then told me that we had a deer stuck in our fence. I hurried home to see it and this is what I saw. The blood is just from the deer trying to run while its legs were stuck, the rooftop was rough.


It was very weird the way it was stuck, its hind legs were in the back fence and it was on top of our neighbors shed. Spencer tried to get it loose for a while then we decided we needed to call Animal Control. They were not able to come so they sent a cop. Spencer and the cop were able to get the deer out but when the deer started to walk we noticed that both front legs were broken, not the back legs that were stuck but the front legs. That confused us even more on how it got stuck. The cop told us he would have to put it down. That is when I ran inside, I did not want anything to do with that. The deer wandered into our backyard and that is where it happened. I was talking to my mom on the phone and she heard the shot over the phone. It was very disturbing. Well Animal Control takes care of live animal problems first so it took them 3 days to come and pick up the deer. Luckily we have a slope to our yard and we did not have to look at it every day. All we told George is that we let the deer go home to its mom and dad.

We had Thanksgiving at our house this year and I got George and Sam, his cousin, a gingerbread house to decorate. They loved it. You know how it goes put a candy on the house here and eat one there. What a great activity for them, George sees in on the table and says Georgie's house. I guess that would be his ideal place to live!!

Treadmill Warning!!!

We had a little accident this last week. It was quite traumatic and it has taken me this long to be able to post this incident. I was walking on our treadmill and George was playing with his ball. The ball got sucked under the treadmill and so was George's arm. He is fine but he has some serious road rash all up and down his arm. We are very lucky that that is all that happened, many have lost limbs!! So just a warning to all of you with treadmills, don't let your kids play on them or play while you are on them, they are dangerous.

Scarlet's Day

So we were able to bless Scarlet on Sunday. It was a wonderful blessing and then we had the family over for dinner. I think the second best part of having her blessed was that my half wall was finished. It looks so good and everyone was able to come over and see our handy work. George has loved his baby sister, one of his favorite things is to sit on top of her and call out "Giddy up Horsey" Not much you can do but get him off of her and just laugh!!

Happy Halloween

So this year for halloween we decided to go as eachother. I thought it was dang funny to watch Spencer struggle with long hair. He kept complaining that his hair continued to get into his lip gloss. I just had to laugh and tell him to tuck it behind his ears. We did not get a full body shot, I did not think about it but Spencer has on my maternity skirt and we painted his toes. I have on Spencer's tool belt and work boots. George was Buzz Lightyear if you can not tell. He is the cutest in it he will lay on the ground with his arms out in front of him and call out "To Infinity and beyond!" It is also near impossible to get the costume off of him, the only good way is to bribe him with his Lightining Jammies. He is such a boy!!


These are my carmeled apples that I made for the party. I was so excited at how they turned out I just had to put them on my blog!! I got sticks off a tree in my backyard and used those instead of Popcicle sticks. I just made them with the white chocolate and the candies on the outside. They were yummy and I must say quite festive!

What a Day!

The other day for playgroup we went to see the "apane" museum. George was in heaven all those who were there know how hard it was for me to get George to leave. I had to tell him that we needed to go home and get dad so we could come and see them again. Every time he spots a plane he tells me that we need to get dad and go see the "apane's" this kid has one heck of a memory!!

After we saw the plane's he had to get into his Lightning McQueen jammies and "sippers" what a day!!

Pumpkin Patch!!

So this last week Spencer had fall break, it was great to have him around more. He worked on the house and we went to a pumpkin Patch. George loved it, he is really into hitches and trucks so to take a hay ride out to get the pumpkins was just about Christmas morning. While we were on the "hitch" (that is what he calls the whole thing) he was very serious. It was "Hitch George" I don't think he really could believe that he got to ride on it. Just like most kids with things they love it was just about torture to get him off it and go home. But if you ask him about it he will tell you all about the pumpkin patch.

We went with the Norman's and the Uriona's, what a good lookin' crew!!
