Catching Up

There are a few events that I need to catch everyone up on.
Deer Hunting this year was an event. I took both dogs with me and they had a ball playing with Smokey. The dogs ran around the farm house and played in the weeds to their hearts content. The family had fun roasting marshmallows around the campfire. The kids played and played and collected tons of bones. The women went for a walk down the dirt road, we walked 3 miles right before the sunset- it was really pretty. One funny story, when we the girls headed off to go on our walk the dogs followed us to the cattle guard. Ella and Smokey both stopped at the cattle guard but no not Eddie, he took a running jump and sailed over half of the cattle guard. He landed on the metal parts then moved his feet and his legs sank through the cattle guard. It was so funny. Eddie got he strength to jump the rest of the way to the ground and he looked so proud of him self that he had made it across the cattle guard. Tammi picked him up and put him back with the other dogs. The day of the deer hunt was a lot of fun. Kisti and I went hunting with Dad, he had us push some trees so to try to scare up some deer. We ended up scaring out a deer that JB shot. He was a nice 4 X 4 with a 26 inch spread. The horns set back slimier to elk horns. The horns are really pretty, JB is going to mount them. They will look great on his wall. Later I found out that Dad got his deer on the last day of the hunt. It was really relaxing being down on the farm. I had a ton of fun hanging with the family.

Halloween:
This year for Halloween I chose not to dress up the dogs. Ya I know I really should have but I didn't have the money. We had our annual family Halloween party and I dressed up as a flower child girl, Emily helped me put flower in my wig. I looked great. For the actual Halloween day, I dressed up as a Greek goddess for work. I had a ball in that costume- I even had a dagger. The evening was spent playing games with friends at the house. Then the next night I got to dress up as a Make up girl for a host a murder party. This was the best Halloween ever. I was able to dress up in three different costumes. I plan to dress up for Twilight here in a week. That will be so much fun. I enjoy dressing up in different costumes.

New Friends at the Office

I have a new friend at work. Her name is Halen and she is new to the company. I love spending time with her and appreicate all the help she give me at work.- Halen I think your wonderful!

Singing like a Pro

Applebee's here in Orem has a Karaoke on Tuesday nights. I've started going with a group of friends. They decided to have an Applebee's Idol and somehow I got signed up for the contest. The first week I sang "When you say nothing at all" and I had a group of friends come to vote for me. I made it to the 2nd round, which was last Tuesday night. I sang the song "I will Survive" and did an OK job at it. Even though I did a good job I didn't have very many friends to vote me, so I didn't make it. I still had a great time and I loved wearing my pink hat. Charise came and gave me hints on prepping my voice before I sang my song.

4 girls, 2 dogs, and a big campfire

Yes, I went camping last week up near Kamus and it was so beautiful. Me and three other girls went together and I took the dogs. I don't think they had as much fun as I did, but Eddie sure did bark a lot when people walked by the camp site. We did all the cooking with the dutch ovens and over the fire- this was really fun. The dogs slept a lot and got really dirty laying int he dirt. We went for a few walks, to run to the bathrooms and that was it. We spent the whole Saturday all four of us girls, relaxing near the fireside and reading books. We also ate a bunch of junk food and made a wonderful stew that night. I had so much fun that weekend it was really relaxing and just what I needed. Cassie and Emily enjoyed making the fires and cutting the wood. Can you see the shape of a devilish face in this picture above. We had some big fires on both nights, but what do you expect, when you have four girls who like to play with fire.

The Shoe Fetish

Yes, Eddie has know chewed up three pairs of my favorite shoes. I know that its mostly my fault, because I leave the shoes down on the floor. He is just so fast, and quick, that he gets to my shoes before I know it- yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. The good thing is that he only chews on my shoes instead of the roommates- thank goodness! other wise I would have to buy everyone new pairs of shoes to make up for Eddie's Fetish.

Weekend of three dogs

Over the last few days or maybe its been a week- we've had Smokey spending time with us. Eddie and Smokey have played non stop. I sometimes feel like I have my own personal speedway in the front room. Those two dogs and sometime Ella too, chase each other around and around. Also I must include the barking that goes with the chase. They are are hoot to watch. Most of the time it will be 2 against 1, and it seems that the odd one out is always Eddie but he doesn't seem to mind because he can run so fast. Having Smokey over has been really great for Ella sometimes she gets a break on teasing from Eddie. I think that Eddie will miss Smokey when its time to go, but I think we have another week before he has to go home. His parents and family have been traveling around the East coast and they are having the time of their lives.

Tonight, Smokey seems he has decided that he doesn't like guys, we have some house guests over and he barked at them when they first came into the house. It was so funny to see him act scared towards men.
