Lake Channel, Idaho

Saturday 25, 2007

Since Scott and I have been married (almost 7 years) I have never taken him to Lake Channel. It's where my grandpa and grandma Hunt grew up, it's near Rockland, Idaho. My parents and our little family headed up on Saturday and spent the day there. It's was lots of fun. We ATV, hiked around, looked for arrow heads, shot guns, got a history/family lesson and tried to take lots of pictures. Scott is already planing a trip in the spring/summer!!

Black Friday

As the tradition lives on we always go shopping on Black Friday. It's not quite as fun as the day after Christmas, but it's such a sport now!! I drove my grandma Mimi to Twin Falls and let the fun begin. This is us grand kids eating lunch at Chili's after our adventures!!!

Pumpkin Cookies!!

One of my favorite things to make in the Fall are pumpkin cookies!! I don't know where I got the recipe but some how they have become my famous pumpkin cookies. If you have had them you know what I am talking about. Let me know if you want the recipe?!! My sister-in-law ate so many of them when she was pregnant that she dreamed about them.

Happy Turkey Day!!

Good Luck Bo!!!

Bo Perkins is headed to Texas for the next 6.5 weeks for basic training in the air force. He leaves on Wednesday, we will miss him but wish him luck. Jamie please come over any time and let us help if you need it. We will be eating at the Cheesecake Factory tonight to celebrate!!!

Scott did a good job on his sign. He did it all by him self...& Roxy just had to be in the pix.

McCall, Idaho

November 9-10, 2007

We had the opportunity to attend a timeshare in McCall, Idaho, Timber Crest. It was beautiful!!! Great weather (It snowed) - Good Friends - Lots of memories!! We have been going to McCall since 2004 with the same group of friends. WOW in four years our family's sure have changed. We look forward to this every year and every year we do a little something different. This year we did a murder mystery thanks to the Bledsoes. Had Internet/computer access thanks to the Blads. And we brought good food. We always have fun with whatever we do!!!

My favorite thing to do is just sit around sipping apple cider and visiting around the fire place.

Knead a Massage?

Tuesday 6, 2007

I am back to massaging one day a week. When first talking about going back to work I didn't know if I could leave Shaydon. Then, I knew he was in good hands when my friend Jessica said she would watch Shaydon for me, which helped me get excited to get back into the grove of massaging. Thanks Jessica, we look forward to all the fun things you guys will be doing!!!

Jessica and I boating this summer.

We handed out candy until about 6:30pm. Then we were off to visit are friends and family. Our 1st stop was the Hessings to see Kemper as the pirate and to give them pumpkin cookies. Then my brother Tyson and Brook they haven't had one trick-or-treater yet. How sad, they were ready though. Last was Scott's Brother Eric and Yvonne. Their kids looked so cute. We had fun trick-or-treating with them until they got tired and then we just handed out candy at their house. Enjoy our pictures!!

Immunizations

Today was a very hard day!!! More for me than probably Shaydon. Shaydon received his 1st shots. (There was 5 of them) I started to freak out about an hour before his appointment. I didn't know weather or not to give him Tylenol before or after or how much? So I called my sister-in-law Yvonne and she helped to calm me down. This is his pediatrician Dr. Naya Antink. The Nurse who actually gave the shots was so good. She had everything lined up and ready to go so it would take less time. She asked me if I wanted to stay or go, but I wanted to stay and be with him. What is worse? Leaving him by himself or being there with him even though it's hard for me? Anyway, I am sure the bugs bunny band-aid helped. Shaydon quit crying as soon as I picked him up. He was so good and brave. Shaydon was pretty sleepy the rest of the afternoon and was up more often that night, but it was okay I felt so bad for him.

CANDY~ CANDY ~ CANDY

Burley Idaho

We were very lucky to travel to Burley and help my parents with some caterings they had at Al's Pizza. On Monday they had 1. Tuesday 3, Wednesday 2, Thursday 2, Friday 1. Plus, they had their regular customers and a party in the back (ice creamery) on three of the day's. They are just CRAZY busy.

This was the first time we (Shaydon and I) have traveled with out Scott. We were sad to leave him, but called him often. While we were there we had the opportunity to have grandma & grandpa Hunt and Gerratt watch Shaydon. They loved to show him off to all of their friends.

Even my Grandma Mimi watched him, which is his great grandma. They all had so much fun with him. I wish they were closer and could watch him more. We had good food and company while we were visiting. Here are a few photos from our days in Burley.

Shaydon's Blessing

September 30, 2007

9:00am

Shaydon was blessed by his "nervous" dad. Who did a wonderful job and was inspired by the spirit. He just wanted it to be perfect. Shaydon has been a long time coming and we have been blessed by his presence. We had brunch at our house after the meeting and it was fun having all our family and friends in our home. This was such a special day for our family. Thanks to all of you.

Summer is offically over

This last weekend we took our boat to Burley to store for the winter. It was a sad day!!! We thought we would be able to go one last time after Shaydon was born, but the weather did not cooperate. Until the Spring of 2008.

For Sale

Scott has been talking about a new truck for some time. Now that Shaydon in here he has the perfect reason!! "The car seat just dosen't fit" We wouldn't want to be un-safe!! Anyway he has an ad posted in the idahostatesman and on autotrader.com. We'll see if it sells. Wish him luck.

Training them young!!!

Shopping ~ Shopping ~ Shopping

Shaydon and I went to lunch at Red Robin in Nampa with our friends Rebecca and her son Trey. We love to hangout with them and expecially when we can eat and go shopping. I am going to teach Shaydon at a young age that shopping is fun and then we can gang up on dad and get him to go with us or at least support us and our habit. All in all we had a fun afternoon and if you want to see more pix go to Rebecca's blog. Here is a photo of the pair of shoes I got. I always wanted a pair of peep toe pumps, but they are a little to high for me. I tried to walk around in them at the house and I guess I am a cluts because I am triping over my own two feet. I didn't even wear high heels for my wedding!!!

We can't wait for our trip to McCall in November with the Bledsoes and the Blads.
SEE YOU SOON!

I need your Help!!

I have a lot of organize, creative and clever friends and family. I need some ideas on how to organize my recipes? They are all in a big folder and are such a mess (all different sizes, ect). I was hoping that I wouldn't have to retype them all so they can fit in a traditional recipe box. I have always wanted to do this, but never had time or was home enough. How do you keep your recipes? Well, there is no time like now to start. I'll take any suggestions.....

Thanks

Linder Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Linder pumpkin patch on Saturday with our friends Bo and Jamie. It was such a beautiful day and lots of fun. They had so many varities of pumkins and gords to choose from. They had 3 jump houses for the kids to jump on, a wagon ride, barrel ride and food. Of course we took lots of pictures since we have lots of 1st these days. I carry my camera in my purse so I don't miss anything.

Happy Peaoween

Here is our little "Pea" Isn't he so cute!!!
