Neighborhood Chili cook off

Friday night the neighborhood (ward) had a chili and soup cook off in one of the culd-a-sacs. It was fun eating lots of delicious foods, visiting with friends and neighbors and just getting out of the house. There was a fun hay ride for the kids and a few games. Thanks to the Hansens, Reich's and anyone else that help plan this fun party.

I forgot to take my camera, sorry no pic's.








Hope had a rough night last night and was up a lot. And to top it off, Parker keep having bad dreams and kept coming to my room. He finally ended up sleeping on the floor in Hope's room because that's where I was the last time he came to find me. Loren was great and let me sleep in real late. Thank goodness it is Saturday and I could.







Hope is asleep with holding a handful of her own hair...

Talking and smiling at Paige...of course I didn't get the smile on camera.  As soon as I turn off the camera she would smile again.

I'll tell you the truth about my dog

My so scary 9 lb dog likes to bark at people especially the nieghbors down the street because they throw things at her.  She doesn't get out often and when she does one of us is chasing her down the street to get her.  Paige was chasing her the day that the neighbor girl fell down.  Skip wasn't even close to her and the girl took off running down the street.  She was on her driveway, why not go inside?  We put up an electric fence to keep Skip in our yard but someone stole her electric collar that goes to it when we were gone one day.  I don't have $110.00 to replace it.  We also try very hard to keep her in the house but she does get out when friends come or go.  Honestly we DON'T just let her run!   She doesn't even bite!!  She does bark a lot to scare you though.  So again SORRY neighbors and anyone afraid of my dog.
