Trick or Treat?

Well let's start with the tricks. . . .the first trick happened to Brian. He got up at 5 A.M. on Thursday morning to go deer hunting (which was the second to the last day of the hunt). He got 1/2 mile from our house when the truck lost power. He came home went back to bed and waited until morning to get it fixed--needless to say, a couple hundred bucks-no pun intended-later, the truck was fixed. And around 3:00 P.M., Brian heads up to the hill, by himself, to find that monster buck. . . .

Now, on to the treats. Well, Brian did get that monster buck, and I know you are all dying to get a look at him. Wait for it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Wait for it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .HERE HE IS-

Now, I know what ya'll are thinkin', but he really is bigger than his antler-- now, what a minute. . . . . hmmmmm, oh, yep, there are two there, aren't there. Sorry, my mistake. You just have to look REALLY close. Anyway, he is bigger than his ANTLERS portray him to be. And I have to admit, he is bigger than my deer (since I didn't get one). And I think those antlers will be good for displaying ONE hat. Or, they will be a really good set of toothpicks. Yes, I have always wanted bone toothpicks!!!

Since Brian shot him at dark on Thursday night and he was by himself, he left that bad boy up in the hills so we went and got him out today. While we were gone, Tina watched our kids and they got to make cookies, what a treat for them. Well Josh and Mike made cookies..... Luke looked out the window.



And then, the most wonderful treat of all, we got to go to a fabulous Halloween Party at our friends house. We then went trick or treating in their neighborhood and filled our buckets with lots of good stuff!! Luke was the cutest frog ever, Mikey was, you guessed it , Spiderman (yep, he has worn that costume for 3 years in a row), and Josh was a skeleton.

We had such a great Halloween and we hope yours was full of tricks and treats too!!!

Goodnight Boston.

Well, after a good fight, it was time for Boston to go home. And I am afraid I am too saddened by the recent loss to write anymore. . . my only silver lining is the fact that the Rays will probably get whipped by the Phillies. So for now, Goodnight Boston. Well played.

Go Sox!!!!

What a game, what a game, what a game!!!! It just goes to show you that you can never count out the Red Sox!! Watching the game makes me miss being there, sitting in those seats at Fenway Park, eating a $4 hotdog and chasing it down with my $4 Pepsi, and most of all, watching my favorite team come back from a 7-0 deficit to win! AMAZING!!! We are going all the way!!!

I Am A Champion

When Brian and I went on our Honeymoon (to Catalina and Ensenada), we bought a beautiful marble chess set. It was our dream at the time to have it set up somewhere so we could play whenever we wanted. Well, that dream was finally fulfilled when we moved into our home in Kuna. So, for the past 2 years, we have played, what I like to call, a continual chess game. There is always a game in play and it usually takes a month to complete a game (some have taken a matter of days, others have taken 2 months). And here is the kicker. . . I HAD NEVER WON A GAME. . .in TWO years, over 50 games played, had NEVER won. But, the glorious day finally came last Friday when I won my first game. Now, I know it is only one game in fifty plus, but a triumph none the less!!!!

Here is the winning move (the note is how we communicate because we are not always around when the other person makes a move)!!!!

Introducing the Clapping Luker

I know, I know, he is very smart. He can also wave bye-bye, but he was so focused on the YAY, he could not be swayed!!!

Pillow Talk

So this is what my bed says about me. . . I am amazed at how accurate it is!! Check it out for yourself!

What Your Bed Says About You

Outward appearances are very important to you. You do your best to look good and have an attractive home. You are an organized and disciplined person. You do the right thing because you want to, not because people expect you to. You are not very high maintenance in general, but you are high maintenance about a few things. In relationships, you tend to kick back and let the other person be in charge. You tend to be a down to earth, practical person. You think in terms of what is actual. You are a bit of a homebody, but you can also make yourself at home anywhere.

What Does Your Bed Say About You?

So here he is. Luke is getting so BIG and can already climb the stairs. And since it took me such a long time to figure out how to post this video, he has now figured out how to go down them too. WOW, how time flies!!!
