First Lost Tooth

Oh yeah I almost forgot in all the chaos of the snow. Chase ended up staying at Jerry and April's for two days since we could not make it to day care. And on Tuesday afternoon. I got this pic. I guess Chase was showing Grandpa Jerry his loose tooth and he pulled it out. Then promptly gave Chase a dollar. Chase thought that was pretty cool. Then the tooth Fairy came and that was even better. His other bottom front tooth is barely hanging on but he won't let us pull it. So more to come on this I'm sure :)

Thanksgiving and the snowy vengeance of Winter

Well lets see first of all I decided to work on my blog tonight instead of working like I should be because I'm being a tired, burnt out rebel. Christmas season has officially hit and work and these 12 hour days are already starting to get to me.... does that mean I'm getting old??? And yet again I'm reminded why I hate Christmas but on a good note I have found a new spot to sit in customer service away from the speaker so at the moment no Christmas music for me yeah!!

Ok now that I have vented for a moment on to the real post. Well winter came back with a vengeance just about a week before Thanksgiving. Friday night the 19th is started snowing and it snowed all day Saturday and all day Sunday. If I were to guess we got about 7-9 inches at our house there was less than that in Rexburg and I have friends that live is Island Park and they got about 21" in that same amount of time. Then Sunday night the wind started to blow. And in Idaho that is never a good thing. The pictures below is what I woke up to Monday morning. I did not make it to work until a 10:30ish and the wind keep blowing for another day and a half. Needless to say I parked at the shop and walked to the house the next two days. Chase needless to say did not go all week the last part of the week way because of the holiday. When the wind finally stop blowing 3 days later Wednesday night I was a happy girl. Thursday was Thanksgiving and we had to jump a few drifts to get there but we make it to my Aunt's house and it was great. It was a nice meal and a quiet day. That was the last quiet day I have had since then. Friday was suppose to be a day off but had to got to work. Then Saturday and Sunday I worked from home to catch up on stuff for the upcoming week. Needless to say I'm living off mountain dew and jerky at work and little sleep. And on a good note I already have my Christmas cards and they are half addresses already. This is a definite improvement from last years new years cards I sent out in January. I guess working on mostly holiday lines all year is not all bad. LOL, well who knows when the next post will happen maybe after the rush at this point if I don't totally loose my mind.

The drift behind my car on Monday morning

Halloween and New Pets

Well This year is flying by I can't believe it is November already. And I have a feeling that I say this a lot but it was another busy month. Last weekend we did the Halloween and trick or treating thing and then last our daycare Angie had some kittens that she was getting rid of they were outside kittens that have already learned to mouse. So Chase and I decided we would adopt one. Luckily the daycare kids had already names them so we brought Smokey home. He seems very well tempered. he sat on my lap all the way home from daycare without having an issue. So this should be an interesting adventure I'm sure more to come on this saga.

Smokey the cat not Smokey the bear :)

I let Chase and Brook bring Smokey into the house for a few minutes this morning since we had only been up for an hour and they had checked on him 10 times already.
