Tree House Museum

This past week we spent a couple of days in Layton with the Farm Bureau Convention, Zak once again competed in the discussion meet, he did great but didn't place. His parents came to watch him, and while he was being a delegate and in meetings we decided to go do something fun, we went to Ogden to the TreeHouse Museum, it was pretty fun. The things my girls liked the most was riding the pretend horses and milking the cow.

FunNy SiGHtiNgS

Over the past week here are a few things that I thought were funny, cute, or cool!

Blyss and Sweetie. this cat acts like a human.

Deer right outside our house, our neighbors threw out pumpkins and the deer were after something to eat.

Ozzy Osbourne????

I have been finding this sight alot lately, this was at my parents house, I put the girls down in seperate beds and when I check on them, I find this. Super Sweet!!

In this one they are holding hands.

This has been the biggest hit, our neighbor boy got this for his birthday, and boy my girls love getting a ride in this.

Spook Tacular

The girls were so excited for Halloween, all day on Saturday they kept asking when they could get dressed up, finally it came time-

Sicaly a pumpkin

Hallee a witch and Blyss a Barbie Muskateer

The weather was horrible- cold and rainy, but that didn't stop the girls from having a blast and running door to door in excitment!

While we were gone to Vegas poor little Sicaly was sick and didn't make it easy on Zak's mom as she watched the kids (we sure appreciate her coming down and watching the girls!) So I ended up taking Sicaly in to the Dr.'s and she had another ear infection- she has been to the Dr.'s 3 times this past month- actually 4 because she also had a flu shot. She also had very congested lungs, so we had to do breathing treatments 4 times a day for a week, to help those lungs. She hated every minute of it and we were both very happy when we went to the Dr.'s and she sounded so much better and we could stop.

Our Little Elephant

I have been getting lots of strange looks because I've had a bandage on my face- this was what was under it- stictches, this past week I went to the Dermatoligist and had a mole removed.

Las Vegas Baby

This was my first time going to Las Vegas, and the last time Zak was there he was 9, so it was a new experience for the both of us. I got quite a bit of advice before we went, one being- don't take pamplets or anything they are handing out, don't look down at those papers. I was shocked at how much of porn is handed out, and advertised on trucks, and advertised everywhere!!!! I really have never seen so much alcohol, heard all sorts of foreign languages, drunk people, weird people, and expensive stuff in my entire life! Every hotel we walked in as we went down the strip was packed with people gambling- I couldn't believe how many people there were. Zak and I had lots of fun, and it was fun to see the strip, but we are sure glad for our quiet, goody, goody, little town.
We went to Las Vegas with Zak's work to go to the PBR- Professional Bull Riding, so we arrived on Friday night, stayed up way, way late, checking out the strip. On Saturday we went to a Big Fancy Mall, I picked up a pair of shoes, because I thought they were cute- they were $465, Zak saw the price, and said, "Set those down very carefully, do not break them." I couldn't believe how expensive everthing was, I also got to see my first fashion show there. We viewed more of the strip, went to New York New York, and did the roller coaster ride- I'm so glad I didn't have a heart attack- that was so scary. Then Saturday Night we went to the PBR, had dinner, and went to bed. On Sunday we came home. Here are some pictures of our trip:

Water Show at the Beliago- very cool

(A More Real) Love Story

To Grandma's House

Nothing to exciting has been going on around at our house, until we discovered this muskratt living in our window well. The girls were so worried over it, and checking on it, to make sure it wouldn't get in our house. It was entertaining, then even more entertaining when my neighbor got home from work, was able to trap it in a bucket- the thing kept trying to crawl out of the bucket- and was lots of fun to watch. But I'm sure glad that my neighbor found it a new home, because it was a nasty little creature.

Well now about our past weekend, we went to Grandma's house while Zak helped his family dig spuds. My mom and I took the girls to the zoo. I love the Idaho Falls Zoo, it is the perfect size for these girls, and we love the monkeys, they are so fun to watch, they swing around and slap the glass, and yell around.

On Sunday between sessions we went outside to play, we were playing ladderball, and Sicaly was sitting on my Dad's laugh and she just got the giggles and was just a laughing at us playing ladder ball, she is such a happy, fun little girl, I think she laughed for about 20 minutes straight. Hallee showed us how she has learned how to jump rope. And Blyss had fun playing with my parents cat- who is really playful. We had a great weekend!

6 Months- 2 Weeks Ago

I have been meaning to update this for awhile, but between everyone being sick, and Zak gone all week for the last few weeks, I haven't had any time.

Sicaly turned 6 months on Sept. 15th, I can't believe she is that old already, time sure has gone by fast- which makes me sad. Sicaly is such a fun baby, she always has a smile for everyone, and she is always so excited to see me, her dad, and her sisters. I love going in Sicaly's room in the morning, she will be just singing away in her room(seriously she just sings, and sings when she wakes up from nap or night, it will gradually get louder, if you don't come, its pretty darn cute), when I look over the crib, she gets so excited and just kicks those legs up and down and smiles, a great way to start off any day.

Sicaly now eats rice cereal and baby food, and really loves food- she is my best eater so far. She can sit up, which she has been doing for a month now- I'll set toys around her and it keeps her entertained for so long. She loves to be talked to and kissed- and it is pretty easy to get a gigggle out of her- she loves her sisters- and they can really make her laugh.

Sicaly loves the cats, she lays her head down on them, and likes to poke at their eyes and nose- thank goodness for the world's best cats! And I can't forget that she loves her toes! She loves to suck on those things!

She is still tiny- 14 1/2 pounds- but my biggest at this age. She can be a sensitive little girl as well, she doesn't like loud noises.

Sicaly you are sure a little joy to our lives and we are sure glad we have you!!!

Oh Yah- Her First Pony Tail- And she has had 2 hair cuts now

She really likes her jumperoo- as long as her sisters aren't helping her!
