Creepy Crawly Critters

Last week I was talking at night(should have just went to bed, but as I confessed earlier I love to talk). We had already had the lights out for a while and I had to use the bathroom. I had a feeling turn on the light (that always a warning when you have that feeling). So I turned on the light and when I was going back to bed I was just out of the bathroom in our bedroom when I stepped on something. Never a good feeling to step on something that moves. I felt a little poke, but nothing that hurt. Well I jump and looked down sure enough I saw something crawl away. It looked like a scorpion, but that couldn't be right we have lived here for 9 years and never seen one inside the house. We had only seen one outside years ago. Well I yelled at Travis who had fallen asleep. He jumped up and help me move the tv (where the thing had crawl to hide). He saw it and I was right it was a Scorpion!!! I got him a shoe and that was the end of it. That thing blends in too well with our carpet. I hope to never come in to contact with another one(that was the first time I seen one close that wasn't dead), but we do live in AZ.

Box Car Children

Tyler decided to take our extra boxes and make a race car out of it. The rest of the kids wanted to join in the fun. It is amazing how much fun a box can be.

Gracie's box was a little hard to walk in! Maybe if she had both shoes on she would do better.Let the Race begin...

Tagged

I've been tagged (by Chrissy) and I am to write six quirks about me:
(sorry this will be boring)


1. I love to cook, but had to do dishes. (This prevents me from cooking all the time I don't want to clean up after myself.)


2. I am cheap. I hate to spend money. I will chose something based on the price more than any other reason.


3. My elbows bend upwards when I put my arms out straight.


4. I like to read cheesy romance novels.


5. I am a goofy person with my kids. I like to make them laugh.


6. I love to talk so watch out. I never stop just ask Travis!


I am sorry in advance...I tag Reina, Marne, Leslie, Lauren, Anna, and Deb.

I heart Mesa

I will join the rest of you! If you add to your blog you have a chance to win a gift certificate!

When it rains it pours!

Well it happened again the ac went out! This time it was the air handler again. It was not the motor (which is new) it was the thing that holds the motor. One of the brackets broke and the motor fell off to the side and stopped working. So hundreds of dollars later we are back in the cool air! I love ac! No other way to live in the desert! I just hope to not have to do this again the pocket book can't handle anymore.

Week at the Cabin

We spent an entire week up in Flagstaff at my families cabin. It was great weather. It was warm the day we came home, but the rest of the week was wonderful. The Beaches were up there hanging at with us. Travis was bow hunting up there. He almost got one, but they kept escaping(for which I was greatful). It is really different being away from home. You almost don't know what to do with yourselves up there. I ended up just cooking most of the time to pass it.

The girls were on the war path.

The boys were hiding in their fort.Gracie swinging in the tire swing. This girl could swing all day long. It is hard to get her out.

Brownie baking time. These girls were all over cleaning the bowl of any left over brownie mix.

Tyler with Christian.Lucy and Hunter love the babies. Abby is such a cutie.Here we are exploring the ice caves.Hunter was sporting a cool stone washed jean jacket.
Peace out!

Life Stinks Sometimes

There are things in life that just suck to deal with. I got a notice today that someone sold our personal information to a "third party" Now I have to monitor our credit to make sure no one opens an account in our name. This is just something I really didn't want to deal with now. Hopefully nothing comes of it. I really don't want to be a victim of "Identity Theft". Sorry just had to vent a little.
