Corn Maze

Brent was a very good daddy on Saturday and took the girls up to the corn maze in Moapa.

Of course,

Mom Law* was strong and they were perfectly behaved.

They had a wonderful time and I'm so happy they got to go.

I'm still getting used to Brent's new schedule.

It's been 2 months,

but after 4 years of the same thing,

I still get days confused.

Every Friday I feel so happy and look forward to Saturday coming because we get to do stuff like a normal family!!

And go to church together!!

And sports are on in the back ground!!

I never thought I would smile at the sound of football on a Saturday morning,

and continue to smile as I hear it though out the day.

But I do!!

Because it means Brent is home and we're together.

*Mom Law*

If you take the children somewhere,

it will be utter chaos of crying and whining and bedlam.

There will be bees.

Everyone will be dying of thirst, heat, or hunger.

You will leave your destination feeling like you want to cry yourself and vow never to leave your house again,

although you know this is a lie.

When Daddy takes them out, they are perfect and sweet and husband has no idea why you don't want to go places alone. 

We Made It

When it's still a 100+ degrees in September,

I must admit,

my hope starts to waver that I will ever again enjoy a breath of fresh, cool air.

Did I make it up? Does 80 degrees really exist?

70?

60?

50?

Is that a real thing or did I imagine it?!

 

Well, I made it.

The earth did it.

Well done, Earth.

You cooled down before I broke.

You always wait until the last possible day,

but you always show mercy in the end.

 

The mornings have been so crisp and beautiful.

I sit outside to do my morning power hour.

Molly does her wandering.

 

 Fresh air has the opposite effect on Le Floof.

Floof goes CRAZY.
She lovesssssss fresh air and outside.
So many things to pounce on!!

She literally climbs the walls.

I have Spider Cat.

 

 

Best of all,

my little chickens get to roam out in the wild again.

This makes them so happy.

Especially Scarlet.

I loved being outside as a child and enjoyed the giant football field sized yard my parents have always had.

We don't have that much grass,

but they still happily scamper about,

finding rocks or pinecones or flowers.



I love Summer, the vacation.

Summer, the season?

We're still working on our relationship!!



What Day Is It Today?

This is a question I am constantly asking.

It seems like every day/week is zooming by at break neck speed.

It's October??

When did that happen?

Didn't school just get out?!

 

We are busy with Cheer, Fitness, Piano, Achievement Days,

Homework, Church, and probably more things I am forgetting.

I'm trying to remember the little things before my brains siphons them out to make room for the next thing that needs attention.

 

 

I watched my nephew a couple weeks ago

and tried to do my hair at my sister's house.

 I'm short.

She is not,

and her husband is 6' 5".

I found a stool.

 

 

Ella makes my heart so happy when I find her like this.

And I find her this way often.

I love to read and will preach for all to hear about how important it is!!

Making scones at Grandma's house with Marshall cousins!!

My children and husband LOVE scones.

LOVE. THEM.



 

While watching Renn Renn,

I also got to spend some time with Buddha.

Buddha is precious.

I Visit Teach a lovely lady named Sister Robison.

We are some how related,

albeit not close.

But she was gave me this lovely book of genealogy and stories of my Granny's family!!

She is an amazing lady and I love her.

Le Floof

Oreo the cat has added quite the amount of energy into our home!!

We describe her as "an angry cotton ball with claws".

She has long silky fur and Brent has already committed to vacuuming duties when

SHED season is upon us.

 

Yes I take too many pictures of my cat.

This is what happens when you lose a uterus at 32 that you were not quite ready to part with.

I also just bought a butterfly Halloween costume for my dog.

I am not sorry.

 

Here she is eating the Ensign.

Unholy creature.

 

Sometimes I forgive her evil sneak attacks and eating of important papers,

because she really does bring a great amount of joy to my children.

  

 She goes from a biting kill machine....

To literally 2 minutes later-

purring wiggle floof of love.

 

And if she sleeps,

she wants to cuddle.

The girls are her favorite,

she'll settle for me,

and in a pinch she's willing to loaf herself on top of poor Kato.

 

Here is Oreo enjoying an episode of Golden Girls.
