Horses, Hair and Halloween

I hope you all have enjoyed celebrating Halloween and the Harvest. We have been up to alot of fun things around here lately. Here are some of the things we have been up to:

**American West Heritage Center- 10/24 This is a working farm from the 1820's. They do ALL sorts of things here throughout the year. The day we went we got to pet all the animals, ride a little red train, carve pumpkins, gord throwing, giant corn maze, pony rides and much more! This was Audrey's first time on a horse and she loved it! We in fact went twice. The second time she was on it, her horse was pooping and thats ALL she could talk about! She loved it so much, she was really sad to get off so we told her to tell her horse "see ya later" in hopes that we would see him again. We had 2 of Kenny's nephews with us as well and it was a riot, we had so much fun. It was a bit cold but it keeps you moving faster! We carved 3 pumpkins this year, a ghost, a bat and BOO!

**HAIR- 10/25 We gave Audrey her first official hair cut last Sunday. I was pretty amazed at how well it turned out because of all her moving around. That is what I was most afraid of. She cant even sit and watch a movie so I didnt know HOW I was going to get her to sit still. Luckily it only took about 4 or 5 snips and we were through.I LOVE how it looks and it's just as curly or even more so than before. To be honest that is why I waited so long to cut her hair. I was afraid all of her pretty curls would be gone. Daddy even likes the hair cut so that means it really is a success! In the pic Audrey is watching the video of her getting her first hair cut.

**Halloween: 10/29 We went to a really fun Halloween Party at our friends Danny and Julie's house out in Tremonton last night. We had so much fun I didn't even realize that when we got in the car it was after 11 PM! So after the ride home we got our 2 yr old to bed at midnight. Yes I felt guilty but it's only once a year right??? We had great food, played lots of games and visited till we couldn't say anymore. (And you know that's ALOT for me :) The pics are of Audrey and the kids playing the donut came where you cant use your hands. She did the best and then after the couples had a competition who could eat theirs the fastest. Ofcourse Kenny and I won with my big mouth. I think he only had one bite and we killed the competition! (sorry Danny and Julie!) We played Wii and enjoyed meeting new people. I was dressed as a square dancer, Kenny a GREEN RIVER basketball player (Kenny is from Rock Springs, Green River's RIVAL so it was a BIG DEAL) and Audrey was Minnie Mouse. The dress I wore was actually custom made for my 97 yr old grandmother when she was younger. I loved being able to wear it and think of her and how much fun she and my grandpa had wearing it. They would go to huge dances and competitions and my mom says they were really pretty good.

**Today we are just sleeping in and resting and I dont even think we will leave the house...that's what happens when you get old and party to hard. I hope you enjoy the pics and all of you had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! :) --Sorry the pics are mixed up, I thought I did them in the right order but they always mix up! :S

Car's Hurt

Yesterday while driving this is the experience I had....(forgive the dialog it was just easier this way)

Me: " uhhhh! go the speed limit!" (at the car in front of me going 30 in a 50!!!)
Audrey says, "What's da matter mom?"
Me: this silly car in front of me wont drive the speed limit!
Audrey: WHY? (ofcourse, right...that's every 2 yr olds favorite word)
Me: GOOD question Audrey! I dont know why! Why aren't they driving the speed limit??!!

About 30 second elapse and Audrey says

Audrey: GOT it!
Me: Got what? .....You've got the answer?
Audrey: uh huh....Car Hurt.

So that is the answer, ladies and gentlemen. The answer to why people drive slow is that their car is hurt.
