Deoderant???

For those of you that really know me you know that I sweat a lot. I have not been able to find a deoderant that continues to work throughout the day. They always smell good when you first put it on and by half way through the day I can smell a slightly sour smell. Does anybody have any great earthmoving suggestions?

Where's the elk?

Greg has one of his prized possessions hanging on our wall...his Montana elk he got a few years ago with his bow. Ryder loves the elk, and bear for that matter, hanging on the wall.

Target!

You might think I am crazy for posting about Target, but I just can't help myself. Anchorage just got it's first Target and I was dumb enough to go on the soft opening day, grand opening isn't until Sunday. It was like Black Friday, but with lot's of kids involved as well. I think what I love most about Target is the familiarity of a store that I grew up with. I go in there and feel right at home. The other best thing is that they built Target just over the free-way from where we live! Also going in is a Kohl's, Best Buy, Lowe's, Sport's Authority and we heard maybe Olive Garden! Anchorage is growing!!

Could it be that time already?

Yesturday was kinda cold, in the 40's, and I was picking up the boys from school when it started to sleet/snow! NOOOOOOOOOO! Not ready! Plus it isn't supposed to snow in the 40's, is it? We didn't have that great of summer in Anchorage. Everyone who's lived here forever said it was the coldest summer they've ever been through up here. A couple of us did the "Beans/Oktoberfest" run this morning and there was ice on the wooden bridges that we ran across. Plus when the clouds cleared some, I did see snow in the foothills! Time to get the coats out, I thought I just put them away 3 months ago!

I Need HELP!!!

Having twins has been such a joy....up until this point. If you ever heard me say that I want another baby soon, well not anymore!! I can't keep up with the Taz Manian Devils! I need advice. What do you do to toddler proof your house. Since I have put rubber bands on all cupboards that open out, they have gone to the lazy susan (which I've tried to keep locked with mailing tape, so far so good), drawers, my baskets of movies, anything that is fun to throw all over the house. HELP! Give me some good hints.

Memory Lane

MEMORY LANE- Okay, so I got this off of Beth's blog and I had so much fun reading memories about her, especially because it was alot of the Philly friends that left memories. So I thought I would post this onto my blog. Here are the directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! I guess good or bad but be nice!!!!!!!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Utah trip...

I know these pics are late, but here are a few things that we did while in UT. We ran out of memory on our camera while at the Harr family reunion in Fish Lake. We didn't get any pictures of St. George or the waterparks we went to. It was over a 100 degrees on some days. I loved it! Especially because I knew I'd be coming back to 60 degree weather.
Austin turned 6 while we were in UT. We took him to Boondocks and then had a little family party with him.
Ryder loved the horses and dogs. He couldn't get enough of them. Between all the kids and grandkids there were about 7 dogs at the ranch.
Greg's parents built this awesome cabin at Fish Lake and they added some great amenities for the place. This basketball court is one of them. Isn't that awesome that they can ball some ball while in the widerness?
This was a highlight of the trip. Grandpa Harr (Greg's dad) keeps his horses at the ranch and they were used often. Hunter and Greg, Preston and g-pa were off for a long ride. If you notice the white metal building in the background, well that is big enough to store three 5th wheels, ten 4-wheelers, and all the furniture that has been waiting to go into the cabin. Then if you notice the cabin, it's twice that size. They did and still are doing such a beautiful job on the cabin. If I could lift that cabin and put it here in Anchorage we'd be set.
Greg had a lot of fun with all the grandkids. He would take them 4-wheeling and horse riding. What a nice uncle/dad.

So I've gotten crap from a few people for not keeping up my blog but I have reasons....we left for Utah, we've had company living with us for a month and a half, and the babies have learned to walk! That alone has made life a little bit more complicated. Although, I did have time to go and get my hair all cut off and colored it. I went out on a limb and colored it black and red. The color has faded or else I would post a picture. I am going to have her do it again and then I'll post a picture!

4th of July

For the 4th we ended up camping about 15 minutes from home. That works out perfect for me because then I can run home and do some wash or pick up things I've forgotten, or take a shower. It was a fun time 4-wheeling, playing games, eating LOT'S of smores and just hanging out. We got to see some very late night fireworks from a town close by. They had to shoot them off at midnight, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to see them! If you look closely you can see the mosquito bites all over the babies faces. They must be really sweet for the mosquito's to like them that much.
Enjoying smores. A nightly tradition.
Ryder in dirt heaven.
Nancy Newell, Katie Russell and Robyn Newell. We are enjoying a game of dominos while the men are out 4-wheeling with the older kids.
Peyton's first bloody nose. It seems we have always documented all of our boys 1st bloody encounters. Why? I don't know, it's a guy thing and I am out-voted!

This isn't from camping, but it sure is cute! It doesn't matter how slowly I open the dishwasher they can hear it and they speed crawl to it. Just recently they figured out how to get up onto it, or maybe they helped each other up.

lil girls hairdo's

My youngest sister Jessica has the cutest little girl, Adde, and she always has her looking so cute. She's had a lot of people stop her and ask how she did Adde's hair. So she started a blog. If you have girls and have the time to try some cute hairdo's, then check out her blog: cute2tryhairdos.blogspot.com.
