Our new baby and carving pumpkins




We got a puppy! His birth name is Benjamin Franklin because he was born on the 4th of July, but we named him Rocky. He is all puppy with his nose to the ground. He is full blood Brittany Spaniel, so Shawn is hoping this one will actually be able to help him hunt. Sadie doesn't know what to think, but Rocky likes her.
I had fun carving pumpkins this weekend with the girls.

Vacation




We're back in good ol' Cody. We had a really nice trip, except for one day in San Fran where everything seemed to go wrong. But it could have been worse. We did a lot of shopping and visiting family in Reno/Sparks/Carson City. It was really fun to meet more of Shawn's family. Was anyone else in San Fran last weekend? Cuz I'm pretty sure the rest of the world was. It was SO BUSY! There was a 49ers game, fleet week (where the navy ships come into port), and the blue angels were doing a show over fishermen's warf, and a parade for Columbus Day. So, yeah, there were a few too many people around. But we got to see everything we wanted to see except to visit Alcatraz. We only got to see it from the shore because the tours were booked solid while we were there. Oh, and we didn't get to see Ghirardelli Square because they shut our cable car down early because the traffic was so heavy. But we got some chocolate the next day at Union Square. Yum. We saw Frankie Valli, the guy who sang "Sherry Baby." He was the grand marshall in the parade. We went to the beach and watched some surfers and then drove across the golden gate bridge, which was also packed with people. It really would have been a great opportunity for a terrorist attack if they wanted to effect a lot of people. Is that wierd to think? :) I don't know if everyone has been hearing the sick things that the homosexuals have been doing (a parade and posters mocking the last supper and saying Jesus was a homosexual), but I kept thinking judgment was going to come while we were there. I'm crazy. I know. :) I'm having problems uploading images. So I'll try again later.

Current Happenings

My parents were down for a nice visit this weekend. My dad was able to go golfing on Saturday and my mom and I made donuts. MMM They are so yummy. We had Shawn's parents over for dinner that night. Shawn cooked up a brisket for us and it was very yummy as well.
I found out on Monday that the blood test for mono came back negative, so the doctor was wrong. So I have a virus and I guess that is the most we're going to know.
We are leaving Friday for vacation to Reno. We are so ready! We're going to head over to SanFran for a night too. It should be fun and hopefully relaxing.
