See I planted pumpkins last year and not one came up so this year I went a little crazy and planted quite a few and it would seem as though they all came up. It was a fun little trip for our girls out to our own pumpkin patch.Hewardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14553251945344372428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221577385400858395.post-67457681838689824672009-10-02T13:17:00.000-07:002009-10-02T13:34:05.810-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcmFOG-0xeNy6VASYziH8yXOwa1pHgW73Bi55ZGZ-4kVOIiwFWucekP-BmEKvaqhVhBW30sOwWPmReQuLwLaU6zXvpV5OXLxZVmMiBs8VbWNPVVM2ZQtaBp7uLkVz1Swf3YrjvlCuXSb8/s1600-h/102_3544.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcmFOG-0xeNy6VASYziH8yXOwa1pHgW73Bi55ZGZ-4kVOIiwFWucekP-BmEKvaqhVhBW30sOwWPmReQuLwLaU6zXvpV5OXLxZVmMiBs8VbWNPVVM2ZQtaBp7uLkVz1Swf3YrjvlCuXSb8/s320/102_3544.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388100799132298418" /></a><br />I decided to post this picture to let you all know why I have not been very good at keeping up with my blog this summer. We had a wonderful garden this summer, I have been very busy weeding and harvesting all that we grew. And that was just in my spare time. We also had some amazing summer trips. It is hard to believe that summer is over it just flew by. Our garden is finally done except some tomatoes that are covered by blankets and tarps. We just picked all of our pumpkins and Henley sold one right after to Nana, but we have many more and Henley is anxious to sell them. There are a few tall skinny ones and I told Henley I want to keep one of them and she said "That's okay mom I will just tell them they can't buy that one." She is quite the sales girl she tried to sell Nana the smallest little green one we had but Nana told her she wanted a nice orange one.Hewardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14553251945344372428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221577385400858395.post-68887309957796913422009-03-30T22:26:00.000-07:002009-03-30T22:38:38.186-07:00Our Family HomeSome of you might have already heard that our family home burned down, which is just awful but I can't tell you how grateful I am that Dad, Carol and Hieron are all safe. As sad as it is the rest of it is just stuff. And they will also be able to live in the trailer on the other side of their property which is blessing. It is incredibly sad that the old house will not be there anymore. When Dad was down here this fall we talked about it and He just loved that old house and all the memories he had there. I am going to head up there in a couple days to help them get situated and help them find and collect everything they need. Carol and I talked today and she said they might have everything they need stashed out in one of Dad's trailers it is just a matter of finding it.:)Hewardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14553251945344372428noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221577385400858395.post-73972001229088810302009-03-30T21:29:00.001-07:002009-03-30T22:05:45.264-07:00Our Spring Break<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6MSuHSJ-FDCx-DyFTKRZcm4szXNQJ6VqQb5OF7mK0vEF0dC2xMtvGjD5d1cruO5mnma-_l1ul0X387iiCFyQG_XwMfYK3H3PGCK63ecqEgqe1Kw_FWAKRkrzMbbrLgH52xo0ZaWZbzmo/s1600-h/102_3132.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6MSuHSJ-FDCx-DyFTKRZcm4szXNQJ6VqQb5OF7mK0vEF0dC2xMtvGjD5d1cruO5mnma-_l1ul0X387iiCFyQG_XwMfYK3H3PGCK63ecqEgqe1Kw_FWAKRkrzMbbrLgH52xo0ZaWZbzmo/s320/102_3132.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319211556615371810" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6uYuI-9PsDJSh34_dmZWDt3w5whGagrGGWdy3T1fYXgcLdMyT7KUROyshM4bf74Org3kh0KgJscXV9kq9b3BgzN086kqT0zkTo2bfp6YGD29-Hhifhs74wX0d1dvrD_qWY6g1FJJNoWc/s1600-h/102_3115.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6uYuI-9PsDJSh34_dmZWDt3w5whGagrGGWdy3T1fYXgcLdMyT7KUROyshM4bf74Org3kh0KgJscXV9kq9b3BgzN086kqT0zkTo2bfp6YGD29-Hhifhs74wX0d1dvrD_qWY6g1FJJNoWc/s320/102_3115.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319211553175239106" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjog1rzHVSgHKbEjdy-lqsIkf-C1AC2NzIGGzcFQ-f9J8kbqithj4X5fPxSSRTRyBg4PymNhbk05dEleTHutKOBr4KFxFiEyFs742YF3jhTbbhVdOnxMrQCaTFOXT6M8crCKz-zU07hcy8/s1600-h/102_3074.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjog1rzHVSgHKbEjdy-lqsIkf-C1AC2NzIGGzcFQ-f9J8kbqithj4X5fPxSSRTRyBg4PymNhbk05dEleTHutKOBr4KFxFiEyFs742YF3jhTbbhVdOnxMrQCaTFOXT6M8crCKz-zU07hcy8/s320/102_3074.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319211549082922050" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8fNk2TIq35xFbjd1hwCNn7HoNBaChuO6yx99VV2eoQjJVJv3bmSolrHmRxdHE6OOPbRkt0t4l31Yzsn78q6Jgm-GGTV_3xQHIzXK6k0ySfejYKlOvZ898mTltbAk-YpYvT-49DWO6UJI/s1600-h/102_3062.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8fNk2TIq35xFbjd1hwCNn7HoNBaChuO6yx99VV2eoQjJVJv3bmSolrHmRxdHE6OOPbRkt0t4l31Yzsn78q6Jgm-GGTV_3xQHIzXK6k0ySfejYKlOvZ898mTltbAk-YpYvT-49DWO6UJI/s320/102_3062.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319211543221692402" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcPmOXkOcxQSdf4O46pUx0P9x6uW9Y9xz6tz52p00fOLJUS6K716khLZk5Dcog4fxneSeF6KEAone6Su-9KPiUj3_E69GRj_bCEJRObEDELIGvDoykr5mDrGL_bYf4xFfet4y3yLqlaw/s1600-h/102_3053.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcPmOXkOcxQSdf4O46pUx0P9x6uW9Y9xz6tz52p00fOLJUS6K716khLZk5Dcog4fxneSeF6KEAone6Su-9KPiUj3_E69GRj_bCEJRObEDELIGvDoykr5mDrGL_bYf4xFfet4y3yLqlaw/s320/102_3053.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319211533692447890" /></a><br />We planned a last minute trip to California for spring break. We spent a couple days in Indio, California which is in the desert and it was almost ninety degrees a very nice break from our cold weather we are having. We spent some time swimming and catering to our girls who were not feeling good. We found out on this trip that Henley gets a little car sick. We got to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Futrell who Macey had never met. We also spent a few nights in San Diego, where we got to go to SeaWorld. Which I highly recommend. The whale show there was awesome. We loved it! Henley loved it so much she forgot all about her ears that had been hurting her. And of course we spent some time on Coronado Beach which was beautiful.Hewardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14553251945344372428noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221577385400858395.post-61956468495123594112009-03-05T16:27:00.000-08:002009-03-05T16:35:08.345-08:00Pomerelle SkiAfter 7 years for me and a few more for Eric we were able to go skiing yesterday. We had a lot of fun. We were the first ones on the hill for night skiing and it was snowing so the snow was completely untouched. It was beautiful! And we got to get all of our insecurities out without being seen because about an hour after we got there the swarms of young men and young women came for mutual. It was a wednesday and a lift ticket was only 5 dollars so that is what a lot of the wards were doing for their activity. It was great to see a lot of people we know even though you could hardly recognize anybody with their goggles on (a must have in the wind and snow.) It was a great date night thanks to Nana for watching our girls.Hewardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14553251945344372428noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221577385400858395.post-2671772564273858312009-03-05T16:15:00.000-08:002009-03-05T16:27:01.185-08:00Our Girls are Feeling GreatHenley has pretty much made a full recovery and hopefully she is not contagious anymore because we have returned to life as normal. Oh I almost forgot she does have a new ouch! I was taking the garbage outside and I gave Henley an assignment to take the bathroom trash can back to the bathroom and she completed her assignment quickly and tried to follow me with her arms full of all her treasures she was going to bring to town with us. Only she thought that I had gone downstairs and apparently she tried to follow me and fell. I came into find her screaming and all of her toys scattered down the stairs. I don't know exactly what happened because everytime I ask her the story changes a little bit, and so does the bruise on her right cheek. It has been red, blue, purple, and yellow, and is now finally fading.Hewardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14553251945344372428noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221577385400858395.post-83642479685874184282009-02-10T19:30:00.000-08:002009-02-10T19:47:14.775-08:00Henley has MonoThis is so strange but we took Henley in for an ear infection and we were told she had double ear infections so she was put on an antibiotic. Well a week later her fever spiked again, so we were back to the doctor and at that time doctor said, "That is strange her ears look worse than they did before and she has the worst case of strep I have seen all night, I think she might have mono." So we had some blood work done and sure enough she has mono so we have been stuck at home. We can't figure out where she got it from because we pretty much have been home the last few weeks. Diana said that I guess it is a Peine girl thing to carry mono so maybe she got it from me. She will be contagious for awhile and they put her on some steroids so she will catch anything from anyone right now. I can't believe her though she was tired and had a fever for a few days but now she is all energy and apetite. She ate two bowls of cereal and two hot dogs and whatever else... she is not usually a big eater but this antibiotic or steroid is doing something to her. <br />The other day I said to her when she was feeling bad, " You just don't feel like my Henley huh."<br />When she woke up the other morning when she was feeling better she said, "Mom I am back to Henley."Hewardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14553251945344372428noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221577385400858395.post-9982734010330911362009-01-09T13:41:00.000-08:002009-01-23T18:57:22.696-08:00I am still alive!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyM9tqNuD15FTFK9j40Iudj2mGrP7vaWlMrX4-QNSsdfCz-zYobz-TEmRMw40hggr9mkoWsowyz9TVW86zOL3Lk8wgnxilVqO1N4dwxLvsaANoXd9WqdJYve-M2m11Jr21R2N70FJQGPo/s1600-h/100_3045.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyM9tqNuD15FTFK9j40Iudj2mGrP7vaWlMrX4-QNSsdfCz-zYobz-TEmRMw40hggr9mkoWsowyz9TVW86zOL3Lk8wgnxilVqO1N4dwxLvsaANoXd9WqdJYve-M2m11Jr21R2N70FJQGPo/s320/100_3045.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294688812092663698" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC43GdC6Ujl1r8z6Ctbk1J1Zfp56WvFX4OM3OM2xJUTxKBKKBA85VJ7UXNMIHx9eKAZKIxXGG4-4kO_pWgngUDlgaFoXikdcJk5qb_OqQG9DnfFNYv65IlbIdv9AAtC3v36EzhkZa1GHg/s1600-h/100_3044.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC43GdC6Ujl1r8z6Ctbk1J1Zfp56WvFX4OM3OM2xJUTxKBKKBA85VJ7UXNMIHx9eKAZKIxXGG4-4kO_pWgngUDlgaFoXikdcJk5qb_OqQG9DnfFNYv65IlbIdv9AAtC3v36EzhkZa1GHg/s320/100_3044.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294688811225299458" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWphm9ft0p9NZAGvVsO5egWKpu4bepCZEQzTkreWyhxCgv5IorXdYXc_GGcH6VdHkFLTDjEUX3qK8PHlgsRlrI-mouYswHu7_XVqgQ789WTOsOE2fNpXoUtJYvhNbz2qVmw6SUcy4cb0I/s1600-h/100_3042.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWphm9ft0p9NZAGvVsO5egWKpu4bepCZEQzTkreWyhxCgv5IorXdYXc_GGcH6VdHkFLTDjEUX3qK8PHlgsRlrI-mouYswHu7_XVqgQ789WTOsOE2fNpXoUtJYvhNbz2qVmw6SUcy4cb0I/s320/100_3042.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294688806796405698" /></a><br />I am still here so please don't delete me...Liz!!! Diana told me that you were going to delete me if I didn't get on the ball so I am making some time. Anyway, I am so sad I missed you Liz. We need to just have a big get together this spring, we could do it here or in Utah. Somewhere, anywhere this is just ridiculous that we do not see eachother more.<br />Well those of you that were wondering about pictures of my kitchen, I am going to try to put them on here right after I am done writing this. I am just loving my new kitchen. Now if I could just keep it clean, my girls rearange everything daily and fill the cupboards with books and toys of all sorts.<br />We had a great Christmas and usually I am sad to see it end but this year I am excited to move on and continue with more projects. My next one is to paint Henley's room and finish the trim in my kitchen.Hewardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14553251945344372428noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221577385400858395.post-52780672606991952512008-10-21T12:39:00.000-07:002008-10-21T12:42:49.683-07:00My kitchen is coming alongWe have all of our cabinets in and they look wonderful. I don't have any counter tops yet but Dad brought me in a piece of plywood that is working temporarily and I do have a dishwasher now. I can't believe how much my kitchen changed. It looks twice the size and the floor plan is so much more functional. I only had a minute and now my girls need my attention.Hewardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14553251945344372428noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221577385400858395.post-54586815531248165002008-10-10T13:38:00.000-07:002008-10-10T13:47:27.464-07:00We are living in a War ZoneI am so excited for our kitchen to be done, I know it takes time but we have a huge mess. We started tearing into our floor to see why we had a slope and we found the problem. Basically we are lucky we didn't fall through. Our floor joices were totally rotten and our house was resting on the bricks. I guess that is why we got this house for such a good deal. We do have the new floor in now. I had to push that quickly because I might have lost my girls down in the hole. I have no counters and I am down to 2 cupboards and my sink is hanging on by a thread. We have also been putting in some new electrical things. And now we have mudded all the holes. We are getting there and that is good because my cabinets should be here today.Hewardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14553251945344372428noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221577385400858395.post-41998989624540485852008-09-11T21:13:00.000-07:002008-09-11T21:27:06.985-07:00No TimeHow do the days go by so fast? I don't know how everybody does so good at keeping up with these blogs. I haven't even been on the internet in the last 3 weeks. We have a lot of home improvements going on right now. We are trying to redo our kitchen which is taking up all of our free time, well that and I am hooked on those crazy vampire books. I have been reading them like crazy. I can't wait until the movie comes out. <br />We are getting excited for Fall. Diana and Ben were here and took some family pictures for us and we bought Henley's Halloween costume today. We also have dad coming next week to work in the potato and beet harvest. It will be nice to have him again this year.<br />I am also writing the primary program again this year, that is one of the responsibilities of the first councelor, so I am trying some new things with that.<br />Henley started a mini preschool this week with some kids in our ward since she is still too little for real preschool. But I can honestly say she is potty trained now.... woohoo!!!!<br />Macey is army crawling all over the house, she keeps my floors clean. She saves the real crawling just for short distances.<br />And Eric is really busy with school and trying to keep his work schedule fulltime. We make the most of every minute he is home.<br /> Tah, Tah, for now.....Hewardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14553251945344372428noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221577385400858395.post-57262896155170195192008-08-05T17:01:00.000-07:002008-08-05T17:09:33.247-07:00Our Busy SummerWell the last month has flown by, we spent a week in Sandpoint enjoying family and friends and camping at Camp Peine. It was a lot of fun to enjoy the lake and the campfire. But we spent the next couple weeks recovering from the illnesses we caught.<br />We are all healthy now and we are in the middle of having Adam's wedding. He was married on Friday and had one reception on Saturday and will have another one this coming Friday, so we have been busy with all that. He was married in Salt Lake so we were able to see some good friends on our trip down there. We just needed more time.Hewardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14553251945344372428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221577385400858395.post-89293577462547124002008-06-26T13:25:00.000-07:002008-06-26T13:39:00.605-07:00We enjoy our family more and more with each day. Being parents is the best. I have the sweetest girls ever. H is my big helper and M just loves her big sister.<br />I am so grateful that I can stay home with them. At first not working was a little hard and I missed my job terribly I did love teaching preschool but staying home with my girls is much more important. I have had many confirmations that this is where I am supposed to be. E works so hard for us the girls love him and everyday H says, "Daddy at work? He be home soon."<br />In the last month we bought the home that we have been renting for almost 4 years, it is a small home but we have an acre of land and we are comfortable here. We are lucky to live where we live and still have E be able to go to school.Hewardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14553251945344372428noreply@blogger.com1
