Paperwork

Who knew that getting hit by a car can cause so much darn paperwork?!?! We have finally been able to gather all of the bills from Myles' medical treatment from when he got hit by a car in August. Sheesh! Some places take forever and a day to bill you!! But I regress...tonight I am gathering the last of the documentation for Myles' claim. I have printed out pictures and everything. So watch out for this mad Momma!

Work is insanely busy right now. The boys have been troopers and not complained about all the extra hours I am having to put in lately. I am hoping that this coming Sunday will be the last Sunday I have to work for a long while. Myles has even been coming in and working with me. He thinks I am a bit of a slave-driver, but I think that is a good thing :)

We are getting excited for Halloween (can't believe it is nearly here!). This year I am going to be a black cat, Brad has a very realistic Gorilla mask, and Myles is Captain America. I will be sure to post pictures.

I want a Giraffe

I saw this pictures while checking the news this morning. Isn't he the cutest!! I totally want one. So Brad, take note, this is what I want for Christmas :)

Things have been non-stop busy for us. Brad's shoulder is slowly healing. He is back to work. He wears his sling whenever he isn't working. Myles had 4 lacrosse games this Saturday. He scored two goals!!! He is getting more aggressive, which is fun to see. And I am just crazy busy with work. So there you have it. We haven't fallen off the face of the earth, just barely have time to come up for air let alone blog these days. :)

Fire!!

ok, first off I just have to share this...I am getting logged in to do this post and Johnny Cash singing "Burning Ring of Fire" comes on my ipod. LMAO What timing!!!


Anyway! Friday night after Myles' lacrosse game we decided to take advantage of being in Provo and decided to hit our favorite Chinese food place. We had delicious sizzling rice soup at China Town. Then as we were driving north on State street ande we saw smoke. Well Myles insisted that we pull over and see what was going on. We got a front row seat to an amazing fire show!! It turns out it was an old barn/garage. No one was hurt, so we felt ok being total gawkers!

Here is a shot I took with my phone. The power lines were right above the garage, so their were sparks flying like mad! Myles was walking around talking to everyone, trying to get the full scope. He could so be a reporter :)

Busy Weekend

As if this week hasn't been busy enough, we have an even busier weekend planned. Tomorrow Myles starts things off early with a lacrosse game in Provo at 330pm. He is still looking for a kind soul to get him there early if possible, so give me a shout if you want the honor of driving Myles to Provo :) Then he has at least 4 games on Saturday, with the possibility of 6 games. They will play more games if they keep winning. So the poor boy wont be worth much by the end of all that!!
Saturday I am going to Myles first 2 games and then Brad and I are heading up to SLC. We are going to go to the Gateway for the afternoon and then a charity dinner in the evening. It is a fundraising dinner to build schools in Mali, Africa. This will be our 3rd time attending this function, it is always a very nice event!
Sunday we are joining up with Brad's family at the Zoo......ok that came out totally wrong!!! Sadie and Seth are having a b-day celebration at the zoo. We are excited to go, as we haven't been in years. I am hoping for improvement. The first time I went to the Hogle Zoo I thought it was soo sad. I guess after growing up near the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park it kinda spoils a girl :)

"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons." ~Douglas Adams

Myles the Man

Myles' nick name of Myles the Man has new meaning now.... drum roll please....Myles has started shaving!! Recently Myles' peach fuzz has gotten to be a bit much. His upper lip was driving me crazy. So we broke down and bought a full shaving kit. Brad thinks I went a bit overboard, but heck I don't shave my face, so I wasn't sure what he "needed". So Myles now has a top of the line razor, extra blades to last till he graduates, shaving cream, after shave, and steptic (SP) stick. So next time you see Myles be sure to admire his baby soft, freshly shaved face!

This weekend we did a whole lot of nothin and loved it! I have been crocheting my brains out. I have a baby shower for twins on Friday. I waiting a little too long before starting the blankets :) Brad caught up on his sleep. The kids cooked us dinner one night. We watched Pet Semetary. Just a great "quality time" kind of weekend!!
