Ok it is official Kirstin is excited about the boat. If you do not know I was alittle bit nervous about her reaction to me getting the boat. This is after I bought a jon boat and brought home a camp trailer. The good thing is that Kirstin did get a treadmill. The treadmill and camp trailer were free.
We are going boating on sat we are very excited. Kirstin can't wait to go either all though she does not want to show it very much.
Ok It is time to get halloween costumes for the kids. Kirstin has been watching ebay for costumes. So Jenny is going to be a princess with dragonfly wings or was it angel wings oh wait it was butterfly wings nope how about ladybug wings. Is the dress going to be pink, purple, or white. I don't know but I have a feeling that Kirstin will be able to sort this whole thing out after taking inventory on the wardrobe of Jenny. If Jenny has too many pink dresses then it will be the purple one but white is nuetral why not that. At least she has a month to decide. Spencer is easy fireman outfit and he is good. Man boys are easier than girls. I don't have to worry about the clothes matching cus boys can get away with it.

DANG KIDS
I don't think that it is appropriate to swear on the blog because for some reason I do have alittle bit of respect in me. I just have to say DANG KIDS. My wife did not tell me that Spencer my son decided to take about 15 keys off of the keypad for the computor, until I was in a good mood and Adam and Erica were here. Bless her heart my beutifull wife put all of the keys back on but about 5 the hardest ones to get on. I spent 45 mn trying to figure out how they go back on, that was not a fun task. When I got it back together it was about 11pm so I went down the street and bought some Mt dew and Wild cherry pepsi or so I thought. It was diet Wild cherry pepsi. My kids had me so flustered that I didn't even get the right soda for my wife. When I got home my wife asked me if I was putting her on a diet. I was perplexed for a minute until she said diet pepsi was what she would not drink even if I paid her. So at 11:30 I made it back to maverick to switch it for the real thing. Us men will do anything to keep you woman happy. Just because you hold the decision on whether we get some or not. You married people know exactly what I am talking about.
I have to say something about our little Jenny. She is so beutifull and sweet, but don't let that fool you. The other side is sassy, bossy and holy cow mood swings. I was getting ready for church today and I hear this little voice say "spency give it to me now" then I hear "1 2 3" give it to me NOW. So my daughter has figured out the whole counting to three to use it to her advantage. She also got her first taste of soap the other day because she talked back to her mom. Oh the memories that brings back to me. I caught her talking back to her mom so I said something to her, she told me NO, she had a one way trip to the corner. I do not tollerate my kids talking back to there mom. Call me old fashioned but I feel I need to nip this issue in the butt before they turn teenagers.
Last thing when you have kids they say when they first start crawling anything above 2 ft is fine when they start walking anything over 4 ft is ok. Now that my kids are 3 1/2 and 2. Nothing is safe they climb on everything. If there was a way to get to the ceilling fan they would. Oh what a zoo we have created.
Oh I just got a ski boat and am so exited to do some fishing, skiing, and tubing. My wife tells everyone it is mine and it was my idea to get it, don't let her fool you she is excited to have it also. We like to play as a fam together. We will also have something that we can do with our friends aka Adam and Erika in the summer now. I took the fam fishing last weekend to cottonwood, I hate to admit it but my wife out fished me 2 to 0. I just wanted her to feel good about fishing so she would go more often and also have pitty on me so that she would let me go fishing ha ha ha.

I don't know what the heck I am doing. I figured that I would get onto my wifes blog and write a few comments. First of all she has know Idea that I am on this. She will be very surprised when she looks at this.
I am watching the kids. Jennifer is asleep and spencer is finishing off a can of Mountain Dew, a can his mom left out. Thats my kid. Did I mention he is only three and a half years old. needless to say no sleep for him. Yes I let my kids drink alittle bit of caffiene, for the daughter wear tank tops, they know how to say a few swear words. These kids are like sponge's. They pick up anything that you say. I did not teach them the words on purpose they just heard me when I was working on a few things around the house and things went wrong. It is bad when your in church and your kid says the D word three times because he dropped his toy. Once he did this his mom looked right at me, we all know that look you get. I just tried to ignore the glair but I knew what it was for.
Now I sound like a horrible parent to a few of you that are against caffiene and tank tops. Oh and the swear words. Hey how many of you have stubbed your toe on that stupid toy that you did not see and said something memorable. I bet if you did not say it you thought it in your mind. I am not the person that is able to hold these things in. Mabe alittle training might be needed. My kids know that I do not hold back when I stub my toe on that stupid toy. They also know that if they do not get out of the way that toy will end up at the other end of the house in a matter of seconds. My daughter looks so good in that little tan. She is so precious. She is only two and we dress her in the things that might not be that modest for the young woman of today. I say right now she does not know what modesty is, and to show alittle arm on a two year old is ok. Know I am the parent that if the daughter is old enought to know better she is not going to wear anything provocative. I always say that it is easier to raise boys than girls, because when they are old enough, with the boy I only need to worry about one dick, the girl I have to worry about all the other dicks that are out there. If you saw my little girls bright blue eyes you would completly understand my point.
Ok on another note.
I was at church and we were talking about emergency preparedness and the importance of a 72 hour kit. Everyone was to give there oppinions or suggestions on what to do in case we needed to live for 72 hours with out the conveniences of home. There were things that were brought up like we need water, clothes , food, warmth, and a way to cook if needed. I brought up the suggestion that we need a generator that way we could plug in a few of the things that we might need if the power goes out. Like the refrigerator to keep the food from going bad, or to plug in the pellet stove to get warmth. Many of the people in the class decided to tell me that a generator is too expensive and impracticle. They felt they could not afford one and what good would it be for 72 hours. First of all who wants to live on granola bars and fruit snacks for that long. With a generator you can in the right way put electricity back into a few rooms of the house if needed just with an extention cord. This will give you the abillity to make pancakes if you wanted to or watch the tv to keep track of the news, or even run a wheat grinder to have fresh flour. The suggestion was also brought up that if our homes were not suitable to live in we could live in our camp trailers. What happens if the batteries go dead and you run out of power. Wouldn't a generator be a good thing to run the things that would drain battery power fast. Mabe I am just off my rocker but this really surprised me. Just because a generator is alittle bit of money we just throw out the idea because we do not want to budget ourselfs and save up for one. Well I am going to get one and when the power goes out and we have a horable snow storm that blocks off all three ways of getting out of this valley. My house will be lit up and my refrigerator will be working to save the food. While the rest of you are surviving on granola bars and fruit snacks. Oh and the 80 lbs of water that now one can pack around. We all need water but put it in bottles or something that can be easily transported via something that has wheels.
Now to those of you who have a generator good job, you have somthing that is very important to your survival in the case mother nature pays a visit.
Feel free to leave comments. I know I can't spell.

Sponge Bob Square Pants
Hi all!
So right now the favorite show in our house is Sponge Bob. It is pretty funny and I am relieved that the kids will watch a show other than Barney or Elmo. The other day I was thinking wouldn't it be nice if we could live a life like Sponge Bob. He goes to work where he gets free food, plays all day with his friends, and never has to make a major decision in his life. His biggest decision on this episode was deciding whether 0r not to tell a mean joke about his friend. I admit that he does have some good lessons in the shows, but real life doesn't even compare to the ten minute cartoon. I know that this is kind of a stupid comment but hey what else does a mom think of all day! So my lesson from all of this: I guess that Heavenly Father gives us little things like cartoons to break up the monotony in our lives. So that goodness for Sponge Bob. Plus is keeps the kids busy!
Now here's an update on us...
We are all doing well and are sad that summer is ending so soon. We have turned on our heat and haven't turned it off since Monday. What can I say, we're wusses when it comes to the cold! That and the kids seem to always get a cold or something. The winter clothes are out in full force!
Derek flipped over his boat the other day and lost all of his fishing stuff. He had the bright idea to go fishing in the Salt River in a boat. But hey he couldn't resist playing with his new toy, so can you blame him! Anyway, he came home soaking wet and without all his fishing stuff. Last night he was on a mission to find his pole so he went back to the river. He can home very disapointed when he realized that, yeah, a reel really can float!
We had a good suprise when Grandma Lori and Grandpa Len showed up to visit this past Sunday. The kids were very excited. They walked them both all over the house and showed them all their stuff. I guess they are very proud of their toys! The kids were very sad to see them leave but it was a great suprise!
hhi this iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis spenceroooooooooooo He wanted to add his little comment too!
We had a fun Saturday with Erika and Adam and Adam's mom and dad at the Bar J. The food was great and the show was awesome. I think that it gets better everytime that you go! Derek was a first timer and he asked me as soon as we got in the car when we could go back!
That's what's new in our lives this week! Have a great week!
