Photos Finally!

We went down to the Holiday parade last Friday night. It was cold, so we just put the kids in their snow suits to keep warm. It was fun, but we left early again. We hauled away tons of candy. Here's a picture of the kids enjoying their candy canes.

Cute ehh? This post is also to warn you all that we are experiencing problems with this desktop. The monitor keeps going out...which may be a card dealy on the back of the tower. If I can keep it up and going, I will keep posting.....but if you do not hear from me....just know that I will be going through MAJOR BLOG WITHDRAWLS! I'm praying and crossing my fingers that I can keep it going though.

Macy's New Doo...

I finally caught her!

WARNING: These are not the best shots of the new cut, but she was still.

I had this silly and CUTE idea to make the kids match today, so Macy put little barretts in her hair just like Fiona had to wear. It is adorable, and I will try to get a better pose later...she was just so perfect that I had to take the photos.

She stayed up late to help me make a pumpkin pie and now has HUGE plans to help me with the rest of the yummies tomorrow. What a great night it has been. Better go check that pie...it should be close to done now.

Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

My First Day of Preschool

Grady's momma came out on Monday, so I was finally able to go to school with Stuart. He loved it and told everyone that it was his mom's first day of preschool. It really was, and now he is very concerned with why my mom didn't put me in preschool. Here's our predeparture photo:

I had a great time with him and enjoyed a break from so many kids. I also attended my first PTO meeting last night. It is a great opportunity for me and this school is really in need of some more involved parents. They teachers and staff are completely THERE, but the families aren't as much as we'd like them to be. It's a wonderful school, and I will do all I can to help keep it that way.

Last Friday we all managed to get some haircuts.....well, all but the two youngest. Stuart wanted to get his done and then got a bit scared while we were waiting. I told him that I'd do mine too. Grady jumped in at the last minute to have his done, and then we went back after school for Macy. Her's is the biggest change, so I'll go get pictures today to share with you all.

My parents were in town last weekend to do some shopping. We were able to land an early Christmas gift from them....and my dad helped Grady put it up. The TV was being abused pretty badly from our children, and to save it's life, we needed a wall mount....so, without further ado...here it is! I spent over 3 hours rearranging the room on Monday and finally just had to let it be because I was getting pretty sore. LOVE IT! THANKS DAD & SHEILA! Excuse the mess, I've been in and out all day and keeping up with the kids takes all day. Fiona Belle was being silly, so I had to capture the moment:

Silly, silly girl!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your time with family and friends. Travel safely and make it home with lots of pictures and stories to share!

PS: Grady's cousin and his wife had their first child last night. Congratulations Justin and Erin, and welcome Afton. We are so excited for you all and are trying to wait patiently for the pictures!

What We've Been Doing...

Well, here's what has been keeping Ms. Sheriff busy in our neck of the woods:

Yep, he is eating his ring leader's food (evidenced by the Dora plate)! He crawled up on that chair all by himself and started digging in. Let me remind you all that this is AFTER he finished his meal. I think that he had an entire burrito prior to the photographed robbery.

Doctor was able to make it back to school last week and brought home the class bear for the weekend. He wrote in a book about all of their adventures (I'm going to try to get a copy of it since I forgot to make one before returning...just to share), drew a picture of his favorite time with Griz, and was pretty sad to take him back on Tuesday. Here's a picture of the two buddies for you.

Drama Queen got lucky a while ago and was able to land yet another birthday present. Grandma and Grandpa sent it up with some friends, so she went down to the local mall with the town mayor and picked these up:

She was pretty upset when there was no church that weekend. She wanted to sport the new dress. She did manage to wear it to school later that week though. She's been keeping busy. She took a scarf that I made for Ring Leader to school the other day. I thought that she'd use it to keep warm. Well folks, yesterday she informed me that she gave it to a girl in her class as a birthday present. It wasn't hers to give away, and then she managed to give it to a girl that did not come to her party. I know that I am raising a sweetheart here, but how do you explain to her that she can not give away Ring Leader's things? Maybe Ring Leader will do the explaining for me.....just as soon as she can get Right Hand Man under her guns again....but, until then, I've began making a new one for her.

I sang to a monster because that's how I roll! BABY!

Where's the time going?

No pictures to post, but we've been busy. Too busy to take them I guess. Stuart came out of his sickness with the help of a three day steroid treatment. It was wonderful to see him feeling better, but the effects of coming off of them have me thinking that parents need to be warned of the withdrawls BEFORE filling the meds. He was so emotional that we were on pins and needles just trying to keep him on even level. He woke up crying, got very hateful and angry over things that never bugged him before. But, he's back to himself, so we are happy to have him. He's got the class bear at home for the weekend, and it has been fun to write about their times every night. Macy's school had a fall fair on Friday night, and we all had a good time. Other than that, it has been the usual around here. Hope you all had a great weekend.

Giveaway....

Okay, so I have recently found out that I'm not the best with the ole singer machine....then I read a blog today and find this giveaway! Ohhhhhh....how I'd love to have a quilt....an actual REAL quilt made by someone....not bought at a store. Well....let me backtrack that one....my husband makes wonderful quilts out of flannel, but I would love a detailed one of other sorts too! So, if you're up for a try at some luck, go leave a comment there. You may win my quilt!

Momma Ain't No Singer.....

Let's see now......I'm leaving the placemats up to Jasey for Sundaeshop. I tried my hand at it, and now have a new set of reversible placemats for my house. I do love them, but I am not a very good sewing momma. They are gud nuf fer my haus, but not to sell! Here's the only two that I have completed. I gave up to blog about it...imagine that! Yup...the patterns are way cute, and the mat itself could be way cute, but my lines are all over the place and since I was cheap, I used fleece in the center as my batting and ended up cutting it a bit too small (on a few) with not enough extra to recut, so I stretched before ironing in place with the fusible stuff. Could get way interesting after washing....I know.

The kids were in bed by seven! When Grady isn't home, they get very bored with me and are so ready (so was I), so down they went without a fight! He's staying in Powell for work. He was heading home just to turn around and go back very early in the morning, so I talked him into buying a new set of clothes and necessities and just staying there. So much safer.....and the day was pretty well, so I thought that I could handle it. Needless to say....meltdown time started stortly after that telephone conversation so they all took a tub and we read stories for a bit. Now it is ME time, and I'm enjoying it. Have a great night!

Another Featuring....

Jasey's Thankful blocks were featured online. Click here to see what they had to say about these awesome blocks. I've never heard of Lookiloos before, but I believe that they are pretty new and have a very neat website.


Yesterday we spent most of the day making more goodies for Sundaeshop. Macy wanted to make something for her teacher (she loves to give her gifts). Here's what she did all by herself....well, minus the cutting out part.

I have to say that she did a great job and I know that she loved doing it. I'm off to play catch up on some chores, kiddos, and that fun. Have a great Monday.

Going on now....

As I sit to type this post, Mr. Right Hand Man is running crazy in this cold basement; Mayor is trying to get Ring Leader down for a nap in the semi-reconstructed jail (needs to be cleaned and the light fixture needs to be put back up after the ceiling has time to dry); Doctor is in his office for a mandatory 30 minute quite time; our Beauty Queen is also on mandatory rest for 30 minutes in her princess room.

Now for a few updates:

Doctor has fallen very ill and has had to seek the advice of two other doctors. After two days of straight sleep and nights too, we convinced him it was time for a second opinion. They have concluded it is some sort of virus and a steroid was prescribed to reduce throat swelling so that he may continue to eat. This medication does a wonderful job of increasing hunger, but appetite is still very small. It is also keeping him awake more than the two minute spurts previously seen.

Right Hand Man has a yucky looking white spot on the tip of his tongue, which one doctor concluded was from trauma. Imagine that! We're supposing he must have bit it during one of his many and frequent heists. He's over energized and short tempered, which make for a loud child most of the time.

Ring Leader continues to terrorize the town. We spotted a large box at Costco today that I offered up as a "temporary jail" to mail out to the only jailer that offered up space, but she quickly refused. With those sweet brown eyes, it is so hard for me as sheriff to follow through with any sort of punishment. We need to hire a probation officer when the budget allows.

Beauty Queen continues with the drama...she's got a very good resume started for employment in that direction. Her current position as a student is going well, and she loves it. She can be the bestest helper every, and then turn into a terrorist in a heartbeat. We also need to hire a town therapist to figure that one out.

I'm way over booked and am hoping not to get fired. My job skills are not the problem, it's the fact that I am easily side tracked and often leave work undone to pursue my new hobby. SundaeShop is going great thanks to the major support of a dear friend. We continue to come up with new ideas, and the Mayor has also fallen into my sideline hobby. He's often found out in the garage cutting and sanding away on projects. He will come in and lay down the law when my patience run too thin.......I get loud and he knows it's time to get back to work.

So, until the budget is fixed by this newly elected "super" president, we will continue to chug along with what we have and be grateful for each and every day that we get to enjoy (even if there are days we feel like putting in our resignation letters).

Have a wonderful weekend.

I've Been Featured!

I woke up this morning to an Etsy Conversation that stated this gal had featured my Mr. Turkey on her blog. Go check it out here.

Yesterday was a GREAT day for us at SundaeShop. I sold a turkey the night before, and my candles yesterday. Jasey sold her moose puzzle and Hohoho blocks. We are having a blast with this shop and are working our tails off on some new things to come!

Between the Election day flood and yesterday, I am thinking pretty hard about doing this:

She has been the ring leader with Myles as her Right Hand Man, and I have had tons to clean up to do around here as the newly elected Sheriff! Yesterday I had to vacuum up a brown grainy substance that had the strong aroma of coffee. I found evidence that included an empty decaf containter, cups, and tea containers amoung it. As the Crime Lab (aka ME in this small community) was cleaning up that scene, it also had to extend the full length of the vacuum hose down one heater vent in search of what is believed to be missing evidence in another crime. I have reason to believe that the Right Hand Man placed a bright green golf ball in there after it had been used in the many beatings of our town doctor (aka Stuart) who has fallen ill. All of this was topped off with our Mayor coming in later than usual (but earlier than expected), so I also filled in as Nurse and Chef. For the sick doctor, I cleaned out several strawberries (as they are the only things he is wanting right now), and placed them on the counter for him. Miss Ring Leader came along with a chair and ate them up right before opening the refrigerator door and climing up in to scoop out some chocolates, but not before she knocked out an egg. When Sheriff arrived on the scene, there was a dog cleaning up the freshly broken egg, shell and all. Ring Leader and Right Hand Man had mouths full of chocolate, and Ring Leader somehow lost her pants in the act. I quickly arrested her, bare bottom and all! Now I just need a jail, as mine is still under reconstruction from a recent flood. Anyone?

Water Everywhere...

Before I add my funny (now) story to this blog, I have to say that it was a very sad night for me last night. I had tears in my eyes as I listened to McCain's speech. I am just praying that the voters of this country made a good decision. Although I personally do not agree with it, only time will tell. I will miss seeing these smiling faces, but nothing else about the election mumbo jumbo.Now, on to the semi-funny and scary story. I gave the boys a bath last night, and Grady told the girls that he would give them one afterwards. He had them in the tub and washed, so he left them to play for a bit. I came down to the computer to research some fabrics, and then was talking on the phone to my momma. He came in from the garage and I heard some chaos upstairs. Macy came giggling down, and then started crying. I thought that she had fell down them, so went up to see what was going on. The girls had flooded the bathroom. I MEAN FLOODED! Water was flowing out of Fiona's light in her bedroom. It was a mess, and I am just hoping that this weather stays cooler so that our heater keeps running to take the moisture out of our house.

GO VOTE!!!!!

Did you Vote today? If not, MAKE TIME and GO! We took Grady's work truck in to have the oil changed, dropped Macy off at her school for breakfast (she's been begging for it since school started), and headed over to another school (the one that I did not want her attending) to vote. This was the first time that I had to actually fill in the little bubbles with black ink. I really do miss the lever pully things. It kind of made me feel like I was back in school and taking those big three day tests. I'm even wearing a sticker that they gave me that says, "I Voted". Myles kept trying to swipe it, but I kindly denied his attempts, and will wear it until it falls off or until I go to bed tonight.

THIS IS A BIG ONE....JUST GET OUT THERE AND DO IT!

Our Costumes...

As we were getting ready for the trip out to collect candy, we had to pause for pictures. Grady was at the camera, and Myles was once again not cooperating. He managed to get into half of the total ones taken, so here they are:

"get this hat off of me!"

"please, Daddy, make this mean momma get out of my way"

We ended up with a Scooby Doo, Super Girl, IronMan, and Dorothy. Macy and Stuart managed to wear their costumes all day. She came home from school with her pony tails pulled out, her belt off, and her boots crammed in the backpack. Stuart wore his costume over his PJs all day, and then finally stripped them off only to pu the costume back on because he was hot. Dorothy's hair didn't last long since I did not have the time, nor did Dorothy have the patience for me to spray down the hair full of snot (see top photo), and we did not have any rubber bands within reach, so we just tied the bows in. IronMan lost his mask prior to heading out, and Scooby Doo's head was on my arm the entire trip around the block. Somehow Dorothy turned into Dorothy Ann in Stuart's book, but the bags were plenty full and we were ready to hand out candy.

We managed to have a total of two groups and one single trick or treater this year. Lots less that my parents had in Worland. Now we are left with lots of candy from the adventure, and lots of candy left from our own stash. Good thing I bought some that we like to eat. Scooby Doo now needs to take a bath with IronMan. They're waiting in line at the laundry facility right now. Something about candy and costumes that did not mix well last night.

Somehow in the middle of the night Myles managed to poo in his diaper and remove it before fallling back asleep. I had to bathe him in the middle of the night while Grady stripped the bed down. That kid makes the boys' room stink so badly that I think we may need to invest in a bathroom fan for it.

We removed all Halloween decor today and have put up a bit of Thanksgiving stuff. I have a Scentsy party to go to tonight, and Grady will manage the kids. That's it from the Big Sky full of sunshine and wind today.

Happy Halloween!

Before heading to cub scouts with Grady last night, I managed to get some pictures of the pumpkins. I had them lit, but the flash kind of took away from that; and I did not have time to play around with it. Here they are:

My "Martha Stewart" idea combined with my desire for an American Flag...

Fiona's "Belma" (aka Velma), and Daddy's "Jaggety Lantern"...


Macy's princess castle....

Myles' itty bitty batty baby (Stuart brought it home from his school field trip)...

Stuart's Vampire Jaggety Lantern...

I forgot my camera for the PJ parade, but it really wasn't much. They had chairs placed in a circle, and the parents were sitting in them to hand out treats as the kids walked around. We took ours in the day before, so they were already in the kids' bags. I guess that the newsletter wasn't clear enough for me to understand that we were to hand out the treats.

Today is spirit day at Macy's school and they were to dress up as Super Heroes. Lucky for her, she had picked a costume that fit. She was so excited to dress up for school. Here's our Super Girl prior to heading out.

Since it was only 33 degrees out this morning, I had her wear some tights. She was having problems with the boots, so we had to do some taping. We'll see how long that lasts. I'm now thinking that maybe I should have sent her some regular clothes to wear, but I guess that they will call if there are problems. The kids were up way to early today, so I'm hoping for some naps. I'm trying my best to send away another head cold, and some rest may be just what I need. I hope that you all are enjoying such a wonderful weathered Halloween too!

Carving Pumpkins!

We are a bit behind all you Alaskans, but we managed to get our pumpkins carved last night. I started yesterday while Macy and Stuart were at school, Fiona was napping, and Myles was very interested in what was going on. I did mine so that I would have the time to help the other kids when Grady got home from work. We planned to do it after dinner. But, as I had expected, the kids were way to excited to start on this process, and we began cleaning them out immediately upon arrival. We agreed upon just cleaning them out and then carving when Daddy was home. He called and was going to be a bit late, so we just dove in! We printed out some patterns to carve on each pumpkin, and then got gooey!

Macy is by far my biggest partner in the carving business. She loved to deseed the pumpkin. These pictures are out of order. These pictures are out of order. I loaded them correctly, but they uploaded wrong. Sorry. Fiona took over Stuart's scraping (see below).

Macy loves the roasted seeds, and couldn't wait for me to get them made. I ran out of time last night, but she asked me to put some in this morning. We managed to get one batch finished before she left for school, so she took a small baggie with her to munch on.

While I took the two younger ones in for a bath, Macy worked on getting her pumpkin scraped clean. She did an awesome job! I am really seeing some "bigness" coming out in her. She's so willing to help and I am so loving the help! After she was finished, she played with them in the tub while I finished up her pumpkin.

This was taken before the kids got home from school.

Myles tried his hand at the stringy goo.........but decided he liked the scoop much better!

Stuart didn't want anything to do with the goo, but took on the scraping after Mommy did the "dirty work".

And, he did a great job!

He gave up the Scooby Doo pattern so that he could help me do the carving. We made a vampire "Jaggety Lantern". He wanted me to take a picture of him doing it, so here it is! I have not gotten any pictures of the finished ones. I will take some day and some night ones and get them posted for you all to see. I did some Martha Stewart idea mixed with my pattern, and it turned out cute. The next two batches of seeds are about finished. Gotta love the convection oven....two pans at once!
Stuart also has a PJ party at school today, and then a parade this afternoon. I will try to get some pictures of it to share.
What are your big plans for Halloween?

Warning to All Onstar Users......

Well, we had a very interesting weekend. We drove up to the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming, to visit a friend of ours. We've had every intention of getting up there, but it has been around 2 years since our last visit....hunting season to be exact. We used to spend every weekend up there when it was just the two of us. Oh, the fun we had. The first thing that I noticed was the kitchen. In the 11 years that we've been up there working on this and that, we have only seen this kitchen take it's shape in the past 3. That HUGE green stove has been there the entire time, but only used once.

Alan still prefers to use this beauty....I love this thing, and did manage to learn to cook on it, although I did not do any cooking on it this weekend.
Now, on to our cheap entertainment....Saturday afternoon, Grady ran out to the car to grab a few movies for the kids to watch. He heard the chime signaling that he had hit the lock button, chose to ignore it and continue with the task at hand....he thought about grabbing the keys so that he could remote start the car on Sunday morning to get it warmed up before we headed home, only to decide that would be pure laziness. He shut the door and headed back into the cabin when he heard it, and darn it, it was just TOO late! Our keys were locked in the car.

Oh well, we'll just go find cell service up the hill aways and call OnStar. But wait, we shut all FOUR of them off on the way in to save battery since there was no service anyway and left them in the car. Nope, Grady brought in his personal one for some odd reason that morning. Good. It's dark out now. Into the Ranger he climbs to head up the road and find service. He calls and they send the signal. I thought that it would be funny to run out, grab the keys, and then relock the car and tell him that it didn't work. I heard the wheeler coming back down the road and ran out only to find that the car wasn't unlocked.

The cell battery had died in mid conversation with OnStar, so he borrowed Alan's bag phone and headed back up. He had to drive up, down, back up a bit, and find a place for service. Called again, and they could not get their wonderful feature to work...NO SIGNAL IN THE MOUNTAINS, so they were to call in a locksmith. Grady told them to wait until morning to send one up, it wasn't that big of a hurry, and with all of the animals (not to mention drunk hunters) on the road, it would be safer. He told them that he would call back in the morning to give directions. There is a locksmith in Worland that had a lot in Canyon Creek, and would know the way. We figured that they would call him and we'd be unlocked and ready to hit the road home by noonish.

Well, Grady followed through with his promise and called back promptly at 9. He drove back up the hill, found service, called, gave directions to the cabin (a chore in itself....remember, we're dealing with OnStar here). Great, someone was on the way and would be there in 47 minutes. How in the world could they tell us that someone would be there in 47 minutes? Was there a locksmith waiting at the turnoff from the highway? We decided to give him a bit longer because we were told the Worland one was not the one coming.

It was beginning to look like we were going to stay another night, so I decided to make sense of what I had left. We were down to 9 diapers. I was worried about it, and voiced my concern. Alan said that if we had to, we'd use dishclothes as cloth diapers and just wash them. Oh, how nice it is to be stranded at "The Shack". You have hot showers, a hot tub, plenty of food, warmth, beds.......oh yah, and now a laundry room too!

After waiting almost 18 hours from the original call, and driving the Ranger up the hill six times only to tell six different people that we were in the mountains, no town was very close, there is not a street address, nor is there any street intersections close by, we don't have cell service at the cabin, we have to drive 10 minutes uphill to find it and we have to make the calls to get it, someone showed up from Buffalo. He had a heck of a time getting there, but made quick work out of the break in. The poor kid got lost somewhere in the direction translation, but managed to make sense of all of the dirt roads and find the place! And the best part? OnStar has the bill!

Moral of this story? No matter how remote those OnStar commercials are, it doesn't work in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming............

so..............don't...........lock.........your...........keys...........in.................your............car!
