With parents kind and c l e a r .........

Okay i live in a pretty scary place when the life of chickens are of more value than the life of an unborn baby. Proposition 2 in CA consisted of bettering the life of chickens stuck in farms and ensuring that they had adequate living space in order to spread their wings and turn around properly. When I am eating my KFC in the future, I will be comforted in knowing that my meal enjoyed life in a luxurious chicken condominium first. Unfortunately, CA didn't pass a proposition that would ensure parents were notified first if their minor child was going to have an abortion. When a society places importance on the life of a chicken over the life of an unborn baby and family relationships.....we are headed for some scary times. I guess there are some level-headed people still in existence though because Prop 8....Keep it straight....PASSED! Yeah.

Fall Fun!!!!

Little Amelia was our little ladybug.....

those are carsen's black socks that fit all the way up her leg!

Carsen was a scary skeleton.....

and no that isn't a wig, that is his real hair!

Hunter is a wizard with his magical witchdog...

i never thought i would have to buy a costume for an animal.

Kate loves cupcakes!

Amelia loves the wonders at the corn maze!

the world we live in is getting weirder and weirder.....as i mentioned earlier....i took amelia to the doctor today. since it was in fresno, i thought i would make a shopping day out of it, so my friend went with me. during the appt. the nurse came in and asked which one of us was the primary subscriber on our insurance...... i guess in today's society, two women bringing a baby to the doctor and one assumes it is a two mommy family. Gross!!!!

Wyett just played an awesome game of

water polo against Hanford West.

They lost with a score of 7 to 8,

but Wyett made 5 of the goals!

Yeah!!!!!

I spent the day in Fresno at a Pediatric Gastro Doctor's office. They are trying to figure out why Amelia still only weighs 16 pounds. I came home without any answers, but a purse full of stool sample bottles. Nine bottles to be exact and a post card with 4 slots for more samples. I guess I will be having a more gruesome Halloween then I had originally planned. It reminds me of the time my sister couldn't figure out why her fridge smelled so bad......she later discovered a bag of poop she had forgotten to take to the doctor!!!!! GROSS!!!Happy Halloween everyone!

Loving the Outdoors at Duck Creek!

Newest addition to the family....a welsh terrier named Mazie. Now we know why she is called a terrier from the Welsh root TERROR. Actually, she is a sweet dog, just going through
ADHD Dog Syndrome.

Hunter was given a second chance with dog ownership.

Amelia Lynn Turns One!

I thought since Kate was 4 years old that a single stroller would work fine. Obviously not....she still wants to ride not walk!

Carsen is happy to be the newest scout in our ward. He had a blast at day camp and is working hard to earn his wolf badge. He recently was in charge of the flag salute at this month's pack meeting.

Hunter started tackle football this year! He is on the Blazers team and loves to "CRACK" anyone he can get a hold of.

Wyett Waterpolo

Wyett loves to play water polo! Wyett made the Varsity Team this year. He is loving this sport and hopes to go to training this summer in Santa Barbara.

Who would have guessed the highlight of my days would consist of watching a corn snake eat a pinkie mouse? Being the mom of 3 boys, it is necessary to think gross things are cool!
