Couldn't resist

I put Joshua to bed tonight not really ready to sleep. I tucked him in and left the room. About two minutes later he cried that he'd had a bad dream. I went back in to reassure him that he hadn't had a bad dream because there was no way he'd ever fallen asleep. I turned off the light and left the room. He called me again and asked if I could leave the light on for him. I did and then about an hour later I went in to turn it off and found him all done up rofl. He'd put a hair net on his head (this was a gift from Shayla after she'd had lunch room duty at school) and then he put some safety goggles on over that (a gift from his dad). There he layed sound asleep. It was sooo funny I had to take a picture . .although it didn't turn out very good because it was my cellphone camera (my nice new camera I got in March broke a month ago). Anyway, I couldn't resist the picture and posting it for the world to see.

This is sooo funny. I couldn't resist.

New look

I got my hair cut yesterday. I think it turned out pretty good. I'm having a hard time getting use to bangs again.

it's been a busy 2 weeks

On the 17th was joshua's 4th birthday. We had his first "friend" birthday party and the theme was pirates. here's the cake i made.

here are all the little pirates. they had a blast.

the 11th through the 13th i went to st. george with my mom, sister, neice and makiya. these pictures are backwards to the timeline, but oh well.

coming home on the 13th we drove through Zions National Park. these next few pictures are from that drive.

On wednesday night we went to the Touachan outdoor theater to see Annie, it was fantastic.

During the day on wednesday we went for a drive, first through snow canyon and then up to pine valley. this church is the oldest known still operating LDS church. it was built like a ship on its side. it was pretty cool.

These last pictures are from snow canyon.

Now school is back in session and duh, i didn't even take a first day of school picture, but when your kids get into middle school that's the last thing they want to do. i'll be sure to get a first day of preschool pictures of joshua though! thanks for looking.

Not a lot

It's been a busy week. This is the last week Chuck is going up to the farmer's market in SLC, we've actually sold all our worm castings and tea that we had available this summer. We will have more, but not until October, so he's done up there.

This week we also started a diet. It's a great one, and we are not hungry. It's 1500 calories a day, but wow, we eat alot. We get our 3 meals a day, plus 3 snacks a day. The girls want to keep it up even when school starts, so I'll be sending their lunch/snacks with them each day. That will be interesting because we haven't done that on a regular basis before. After a week, we are all noticing our clothes fitting us a bit better.

I did get a scrapbook page done last night. I think it turned out pretty good.

Poor baby

Our dog got attacked by our mamma cat and she had a huge ball of infection on the side of her neck, about the size of a tennis ball. I took her to the vet yesterday and he had to put her under and lance it and drain the puss, now i have to give her pills 2x's a day and wash her neck a couple of times a day too. He couldn't sew up the incision, because it needs to be able to drain. I've taken a picture to show you, it's not for the faint of heart, so be prepared. It is a little blurry, but you'll get the idea of how big the incision is.

Fire on the mountain

There is a fire buring on the other side of the mountain. It has been burning for awhile, but today the wind is blowing and it's stired the fire back up. Normally, the wind blows the smoke away from us, but today it's blowing it right at us. Yucky.
