New Puppy!

Wade brought home a new little surprise the other day. It's an adorable little Welsh Corgi. After being in our home for just 5 minutes she felt comfortable enough to take a poo right on my shoe. Bruce is thrilled with the new addition, who now gets all of the attention.

Deer Hunting and Halloween

Wade did get a deer tag this year and was fortunate enough to fill it. We have already enjoyed some yummy steaks and are thankful for his efforts to feed his family. On the other hand, I could not let this particuliar method of bringing home the big game go un-noted. I was just sure that he hit this deer with his truck, but I did indeed find a bullet hole and the meat was edible. I still do not know how he rolled it up into such a nice and tidy ball to 'bungy' onto the 4-wheeler. The man's got skills.

We were in Dumont, CA at the sand dunes for Halloween so we carved pumpkins and went trick-or-treating out there. The kids had a blast - like always!

Summer Fun!

We did a lot of really fun things this summer! We used each day to the fullest!

We made smores' with all of the Hughes cousins.

We played in the rain with our friends.

Sidney had many, many baths in the sink.Sid also learned to love ice cream!

Time in Wyoming!

The kids and I spent about a week in Wyoming this year. We had planned to stay longer, but what can I say?!?!? I was worn out!

Almost ALL of the DeWitt grandkids - we are missing T's adorable little one - I think he was taking a nap? Maybe we lost him for a minute? Things tend to get a little western when all the grandkids are visiting at the same time! But OH, the stories we could tell!!

Grandpa was sure to take us fishing several times.

We visited the mules and cats at least once everyday.

We went to watch the fireworks.

The kids had a frog they thought was pretty cute. Sid wasn't as sure, but she really wanted to check it out.

Summer Boating!

We also decided to buy a boat this summer - we call it my graduation present, since I am FINALLY done with school! After counting it up, we realized I have gone to college full time for 10 years. WOW - I DO deserve a boat! We have had a blast with it so far!

Bear Lake!

We went to Bear Lake over the summer (the end of August) and had a great time! The water seemed a little cool to me in, but the weather was as beautiful as we could ask for. The kids sure didn't mind the water temperature! We stayed in a little house on the water. It was like we had our own private little beach!
