The next 2 are similar so we will put them together:
Random things we do/weird things:

1-I always thought I had cold hands and feet, but when I married Jeff I realized he has me beat. It can be 100 degrees F, and his hands are as cold as if it were 20 degrees F.

2-Jeff didn't know he only has 1 knuckle on each of his thumbs. he didn't know this until age 21.

3-Jeff is meticulously clean and organized at work, but at home it is a different story.

4-I hate unloading the dishwasher or folding clothes, but don't mind washing dishes or washing clothes.

5-Once you get Jeff started cleaning, he doesn't stop, it is just a matter of getting him to start.

6-Our first 2 children were born at 12:16.

7-I cannot go 3 months with the furniture in the same location in any room including pictures, wall color, etc. (drives Jeff crazy as he ends up helping me, what a guy.)

8-I hate socks and shoes and can barely put up with sandals, even in snow.

9-I hate being cold, but can eat ice cream in subzero temperatures.

Halloween, All Hallows eve, Day of the Dead

Hello one and all!!!!! It is I the Great Boonie back from the grave to torment all the little boys and little girls dressed up this Halloween. There are 3 in particular that I tormented; Little Miss Bunny, The Great Hunter, and that little heffer. We started out on wednesday night by carving some pumpkins we grew in our pumpkin patch. Then it shifted to Friday, that scary day of trick or treating. First Grandma Forsgren came over and played with the kids while mommy rested to get feeling better. Then I got home and took the kids to Tooele where they scared the begebees out of the store owners on Main street (more like the fire engines and cop cars scared these kids. For some reason they get scared of the sirens.) Once we returned to our lair to get replenished and we realized, that we were missing proof of our exploits, so we took picutres. We then departed on our journey now that I had 2 recruits to torment the neighboorhood through tricks and treats. We set out at 6:14 pm (and by order of something scarier than me (mom) we had to stay out more than 1 hour) we did not return home with our great spoils until 8:30 pm.
We all had a good time and it was enjoyable. Christmas should be a lot of fun this year.

Another week in Boonie town

Okay, this week has been interesting with what appears to be Emma getting sick first, then Seth, and now Aaron. It has been long nights, and even longer days since Monday. So we have stayed in for the most part trying to recover, even though Aaron became sick on Saturday and is still sick, but has been up-chucking less than saturday. Friday we went to Angie Fleming and Cody Nutt's wedding, Angie is Rebecca's cousin. It was great to see all of my Dad's brothers, as well as my Grandpa Fleming. We have not seen most of them since my Grandma's funeral. After the wedding we went to Dinner with Chad, Jill, Ashley and Makayla. We then tried to go to the pumkin walk in Syracuse, but the line had a 30-40 minute wait. With us living over an hour away, it was alreay 8 pm, cold and Aaron sick, we went home. We would have loved to go through it though. We are going to go to the pumpkin patch and pumpkin town this week.

For Halloween
Emma is going to be a Rabbit;
Seth is going to be a Tiger;
Aaron is going to be a Cow;
Mom is going to be a Cowgirl;
Dad is going to be a cross between Indiana Jones and a Cowboy.

This is our newest family picture.

This week, wow

Okay this week has been full of all sorts of good stuff. Such as: Our Anniversary. We have been married for 4 years and have 3 children ( maybe we will be empty nesters by the time we are in our early 40s.)We went out to dinner and had some money to blow on ourselves, and we ended up buying Christmas for the kids. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Forsgren for watching the kids while we went out. Another big accomplishment was we cleaned out the garage for winter. It was cold, but worth it, plus we found some stuff we needed to return to our neighbors, next up basement/ mom's "crafts".
On a sad note (at least to Papa Boonie), Emma sang a song at dinner, the chorus was as follows: "I don't like girls, I just like boys, all boys, all boys. I like boys, boys, boys, boys, and no girls." This is sad, she is only 2 years old. Dad needs a gun.
On a happy note, Seth finally called Dad, Dad, and not mommy. at one point he would call him "not mommy" since that is what dad would say when Seth would call him mommy.
On another note, Aaron sleeps good from 9 pm to about 1:30 am, then not so good as he wishes to be cuddled, and Mom is happy to oblige.
One other note, her are pictures we have taken to try and follow the Prophet's advice of taking pictures twice a day.
Finally, he can wear the outfit Uncle John gave him before he was born.
