2012-02-12T15:49:00.000-08:00

Ok I copied this from a friends blog who copied it from her friends facebook. I know you all have seen it before but I really like it and hope I'm that kinda woman!

Our new pet!

2012-02-09T18:42:00.000-08:00

Tim got this picture today! Isn't he/she beautiful

This is the tree...can you find him/her?

How about a little closer?

The call of the Wild!

2012-02-08T17:35:00.000-08:00

Our neighbor calls us and tells us to look outside in our tree! And this is what we found!

Tim had saw one at work today also! I keep telling him that the little guy followed him home. Now he has to leave for YM's and I think he should stay home so he doesn't follow him again! How fun is this?

After 2 hours we need hot chocolate and donuts

2012-01-28T20:25:00.000-08:00

A yummy way to end the morning...donuts and hot coco!!! Who can say no to that!

This is what you do with your hand warmers when you are eating donuts!

Put them on your cold ears! Ha,ha,ha!

Saying Goodbye to a fun filled morning!

Our Olympic Jumpers!!!

2012-01-28T19:52:00.000-08:00

Ok you need to blow these up to get the full effect. Sorry Tim yours are so small but if you blow them up a little you still get to see the thrill of the ride. The kids will help me make them bigger soon. I'm happy to say that no one was hurt...really bad anyway! Go TJ, Tim and John!!!

Coming back down!

2012-01-28T19:09:00.000-08:00

Ok somewhere along the line my camera got on black and white I guess but it shows up Ethan and Hollies green and yellow tube? Weird...Here is some of the fun coming down!

Now camera is back to normal?? Weird

Oops this is a going up picture!

Going up to the top!

2012-01-28T18:31:00.000-08:00

And Away!

A look down

This one I took upside down but flipped it over so you could see it! Didn't turn out to bad!

I turned around for the next couple of shots!

And a look at where we came from!

Why were we there?

2012-01-28T17:52:00.000-08:00

To eat donuts?

And get warm clothes on!

Oops sorry another winter picture!

To take family pictures in the snow!!!

Nope none of the above. And Tabitha, David and Austin were not able to come with us so it's not family pictures for sure!

Just how cold is it in Garden Valley at 9:30 am?

2012-01-28T17:24:00.000-08:00

Yep you are reading that right!

Well it was actually 8 in Garden Valley but on a little road Freedom Ranch Road it was 6!!! Yikes it was cold!

2012-01-28T17:00:00.000-08:00

Garden Valley got a little snow this year! At 9 a.m. with the sun rising the trees sparkled

But we couldn't catch it on the camera!

Do these two look alike or is it just me?

2012-01-27T19:05:00.000-08:00

Yes I still blog just not every day!!! Amazing I know!!

Well a couple of Sundays ago it was the Spratt's turn to pick dinner and JT picked breakfast! So this is all the topping for the omelette's

The gravy for the Biscuits and Gravy!

Frosting for donuts!

Homemade donuts!!!

JT's special pancakes that he made and cook himself.

They have a secret ingredient ;O) And it's yummy!

He even made them with smiley faces

Ok different day...this is how the frost was on the deck one morning.

It was pretty strange.

No sure why just this part of the deck was frosted...but ok!

I had to take my Cheerleaders to Championship Basketball games!

Tabitha finally got the rest of her Christmas presents!!

I said she would like it...Tim said she wouldn't

Mixed reviews...I think she is 1/2 and 1/2!! And she won't tell!

This one she like!

Can you tell

The rest of TerrieBeth's Birthday presents.

I think she liked this one!

Taking a guess on what it is...Yeah I didn't get them wrapped.

Caleb playing Mario Galaxy 2, and no one to help him so he is using both remotes, what a dope!

Stay tuned for some fun Video's of him telling Grandpa how to race in Mario Cart. It's pretty funny!

What is wrong with this picture?? I'll tell you, it is 5:15 pm on Thursday December 29, 2011 and we have not had a fire burning or the heater on and it's 65 degrees in here? What is up with that. No snow and unusually warm! Yes is it a strange ending to a crazy year!

Picture of the day #362

2011-12-28T18:43:00.000-08:00

Happy Day after Christmas!!

Ok for Tuesday picture of the day! I haven't been sleeping well having nightmares about birthday presents, not enough time to get things done before Sunday etc. So this morning imagine my surprise when I go to wash my hair and the shampoo doesn't seem to be working as well as it normally does. Then I go to put on the conditioner and it looks funny. So I take a good look at the bottles and notice that I washed my hair with conditioner and conditioned my hair with shampoo! So yes we had one more dose of conditioner.

So how does you hair turn out with this combo??? Just like normal!

So I guess it doesn't matter if you do it backwards or not!!

I wonder what Christmas will be like? Will the right presents go to the right person? Did I make the tea-rings the right way? Oh all the things that could go wrong, I guess sleep is not in the future for me!!

PIcture of the day #353

2011-12-20T14:28:00.000-08:00

Well Mondays picture is to let you all know that we got a tree!!! And I decorated it!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Picture of the day #352

2011-12-20T14:20:00.000-08:00

As you know I've taken a couple of pictures of how cold it is here in Boise!! But here are some pictures to show you how really cold it is...the squirrel need some extra heat and they are getting it here.

Tim got a rip in the cover of his BBQ and that is all it took for the squirrels to discover the soft warm lining inside. These two picture were taking on Sunday

I took these two videos on Tuesday it's amazing how much he/she can fit in his/her mouth

Picture of the day #351

2011-12-17T17:34:00.000-08:00

Did I say it was cold before??? Well it was cold this morning and all that cold adds up to this!

Yep the Black and White Pepsi couldn't take it and went KABOOM!!!

Here is a peek at how cold it was at 8 this morning on our back porch...no wonder they couldn't take it!

PIcture of the day #350

2011-12-16T19:14:00.000-08:00

What is wrong with this picture??? Yep you guessed it, it's Dec 16th and there is an empty Christmas Tree Stand!! There is something wrong with that!!! And yes I know somehow I'm off on my count again.

PIcture of the day #349

2011-12-16T14:30:00.000-08:00

Well yesterday could have been a bad day! But I took it all with a grain of salt. While delivering tea-rings to cars one decided to spill it innards on me!!! Good thing it was after school

Then while starting a fire somehow these ashes decided to join the innards!! Now you know why I did my VT in Jeans!

Ok real picture of the day for Thursday. Last year TerrieBeth's friend Val found this huge block of Chocolate at Cash and Carry....well we forgot all about it until we found it at Winco!!! Far away view so you see how big it really is!!

Close up view!!! Use a small portion of it last night!!! Good stuff I tell you!!

Saturday Dec 10th bring us to an early morning road trip. We took the Youth to the Temple in Twin Falls.

Since we left Boise a little after 6 we got to see the sunrise. I tried to take a picture

Yep while I was driving. But couldn't zoom in enough so I passed the camera to Tim

Who took all of the rest for me, while I drove and told him what I wanted.

Andrew was in the back watching to make sure Tim took the right pictures!

Of course he was laughing at both of us too! John was a sleep!

It was a beautiful sunrise and I told Tim I wanted a picture of the ball!

I think he did a really good job!

What you can't turn the camera off yet...turn it on it's getting bigger!

This was beautiful and Tim did a great job getting it!

A little closer view...I thought he was going to miss it!

One more! Thanks Tim and no I was wrong Jessica was not taking pictures in the car behind us...she didn't have her camera! Ha,ha,ha! And she probably wouldn't do it while driving like me! Perfect start to a perfect day!

Not sure if you saw the fire in the sky this morning, but I did and I took a few pictures to capture it!

What is that saying? It's even in the scriptures. Red sky at night Sailors delight, red sky in the morning Sailors take warning. Wonder what is in store for us beside this wind!!!

2011-11-22T13:04:00.000-08:00

So today when I walked with Tim he said lets go down town so I can show you Occupy Boise!

The amount of tents cracks me up.

Of course I didn't get the side of the building with the most tents...there was to many people around and I didn't want them thinking I was with them! This whole thing cracks me up, I still have no idea why they are doing it.

Picture of the day #346

2011-11-21T18:04:00.000-08:00

Thursday the wind blew bad... and this is what I came home too.

I had some time before I had to go VT so I got started raking those crazy leaves up!

Keep in mind that it is only about 5:30 and look how dark it is...it doesn't look like I made much progress but there were a lot of leaves down, I promise...

Tim got right to work when he got home also. I snapped this picture right before I left to go VT...the front didn't have as many as the back but there was a lot. Tabitha and David came over and helped for a while in the pouring rain. Tim and I finished up at 8:30 ish...couldn't wait or the leaves would be way to heavy!

Thanks for the help Tabitha and David!

2011-11-16T18:50:00.000-08:00

Oh how we love the fall....

Believe it or not we've had grand kids over twice in the last 5 days to help with the leaves and we come home from work today to this...just a sample of the rest...and a note on the door of someone asking if they could rake our leaves...ummmmmmmmm No! I hope we get them up before the snow comes this weekend!!!

Ok this is Sunday's picture of the day... Tatem found it almost as soon as she walked in the door and she ....

and Abby played with it almost the whole time she was here ...with the exception of getting in the hot tub and eating dinner. I'm glad Austin is enjoying it! Ha,ha,ha!

This picture of the day is a picture off TerrieBeth's blog! She ran 1/2 marathon last Saturday and wouldn't let us come and cheer her on because she thought it was to cold!!! But I had the parade and Ethan and JT had basket ball games so the only picture I have of it I took, (with my camera, not copied), off her blog!! Good job TerrieBeth!

I was trying to give you the FALL view down my street, but the colors....

...didn't seem to come out as well as I thought they would.

Just wanted to get a picture of how tall my trees are. They are the big one in the background. And the house is about 2 or 3 down from us.

A Popping day of fun!

Crazy Saturday once again....

2011-11-05T18:41:00.000-07:00

Well to start the day off...we had to get up at 7:30 a.m.

Some pretended not to be awake

This is the beautiful site that we met outside!!!

Waiting to get in Grandpa's truck!

Headed out to see Ethan's Basket Ball game that starts at 8:30 a.m.

Right before I clicked they were both looking at the camera!!

After they left I looked at the temp!! Yowza!! It was cold out there.

I headed out shortly after them to drop off potatoes for a funeral and then head to the parade with my cheerleaders

Ok I'm missing 4 girls here. Two are on a bus that got lost?? Poor things and 2 were not able to make it!

Group huddle trying to stay warm!

The South Band arriving!!!

Smile girls!

Go figure after those few pictures my batteries are dead...No marching pictures...Ughhhhhh Tatem joined me a little over half way through and helped me keep the girls in line.

Then we went home and Tim did some yard work and I did some house work and the kids rested little then an hour or so later we were off to JT's game...Here he is warming up!

Cracks me up how he is focused except for his feet

This one is funny? JT looks like What? While his team mate looks like Basket!

Off we go

Here he is waiting for the ball to be passed in...Look at all his hair!

There they are still again except for the legs!

Getting ready for the big play!

Drink time!

John tried to stick his hand in front of the camera...but it was see through! Interesting, I wonder what kinda creature he really is??

After the game we went grocery shopping and then home...I put grocery away and Tim went to finish blowing out the sprinklers... Daisy was quite happy to just sit in front of the fire

What a dope, it was pretty much going the whole time we were gone so the house is nice and warm.

Well how could I pass up the picture of the first snow of the season...those little white slashes is the snow falling almost to fast for the camera to catch!

Take two...can't see it any better

Take three...a little but not much!

Take four...Daisy back as she is running in the house.

Take five showing how fast it is melting...

And of course it has to be her body temp melting it because it is only 57 degrees in here!!! Don't worry I have a fire going now!

Yep Tabitha was right...I forgot the cool bookmark and pen she brought back too! And Tabitha I was reading during reading time and was so involved in it that two different times people came up to my desk and I didn't know it! And they were parents of new students so they didn't know we have school wide reading time and I'm sure they thought I shouldn't be reading! Ha,ha,ha!!
