Let the Questions Begin???

Eli is so inquisitive. He loves to ask me questions this is how a car ride, getting ready for school, doing chores or just watching TV. This is how our conversation goes…..

Eli- I'm I older then Sponge Bob

Me- no

Eli- is Seth older than Sponge Bob

Me-yes

Eli- are you older than Sponge Bob

Me- yes, I think it came out in 1997 stop asking questions and get ready for school

Eli- are you older than books

Me- no books are very old, get your pants on no more questions

Eli-are you older than the team Suns

Me-yes, eat your breakfast

Eli-are you older then Sprite

Me-no I think, I'm not answering anymore questions until you are dressed

Eli-I'm I older then Ice Age (the movie)

Me-no

Eli-is Seth older

Me-yes it came out after he was born

Eli-which one is older Megamind or Despicable Me

Me-I don't know we will have to look it up

The kid can't ask question and get dressed at the same time he has to stop ask the question and goof around till I notice that he is not dressed. He is so cute there is a lot more question then this a lot more.

Christmas 2010

What a busy month December was, I look forward to it all year and I didn't even get half the things done I wanted to. Maybe next year I will start the day after Halloween! Seriously, does cookie dough freeze that long? I didn't even get my Christmas cards mailed out. They are all done, just sitting there by my bed staring at me, reminding me they are still there!

Oh well, I'm still sending them out, they say Happy New Year….lol. I guess that's what happens when you watch 6 little kids and have a birthday party the week before Christmas. I didn't even take a lot of pictures of the kids Christmas morning, I think I need a do over.

Enough whining, it was a GREAT Christmas all my children were home and no one was sick. On Sunday we had our annual Hunter Christmas Eve Mexican dinner (yummy food I didn't cook), played some fun games and got our new 2010 ornament (thanks Megan). On Tuesday night we had Logann's 20^th birthday party more yummy food that I didn't cook (thank you Nikki) (remember I was watching 6 kids 7 to 5:30) a yummy chocolate cake Grandma Jan made (thank you) and then fireworks in the front yard. I can't believe my oldest is 20, where did the time go.

Christmas morning went to Nikki's and had crepes and eggs, Seth finally got his quilt. It looks sooo good, yes I have pictures. Then we went home for dinner with Kelly's family. Watched a few movies, enjoyed playing with some new gifts, and spending time with one another.

Hunting for Eggs

While we were eating Thanksgiving dinner one of our hens was quit vocal about needing to lay an egg, and she did right there in the front yard in front of some of our dinner guest. Then another hen started to make nosies that she too needed to lay an egg(they do have a hen house to lay in) so we looked around the bougainvillea and couldn't find any eggs.(picture below of the bougainvillea) The next day Eli comes running in the house, "come see," he says, "come see what I found!" So I go out side and sure enough I see 4 more eggs under the bougainvillea. As I try to push back the bougainvillea to get the eggs we discover a whole nest of eggs. Those crazy hens!

What happens when you leave your camera on the table

My mother only told her side of the story about our day trip to the Grand Canyon, this is my side of the story. This is what you find on the camera after you get home and show your husband the pictures YOU took not your MOM of the Grand Canyon. My husband says to me "I don't want to see what you ate" and so this is what happens when you leave your camera on the table to talk on the phone to your daughter who got off on the wrong bus stop while getting the car so you don't have to ride the crowded bus (thank you dear daughter and friend)and did I mention it was all my fault. It was all new to me where to park at and ride the bus. We all did get on the bus together so why could they not notice they got off at the wrong stop(still my fault). This is what happens when you leave the camera on the table to help your daughter who is lost at the Grand Canyon (which was all my fault) so they had to walk up hill on the side of the road not knowing if they going in the right direction(still my fault) till they found the correct

stop (still my fault)by this time we were tired of waiting for them so we decide to eat and this is what happens when you leave the camera on the table to talk to your daughter who is lost at the Grand Canyon (still my fault)

If you haven't been to the Grand Canyon in awhile they have squirrels that are not afraid of you and they are hungry they want food we didn't have any food so one of them was following us they are fast and sneaky. They like to hide and jump out at you it is really funny to watch especially when your sister screams.

Indian Ruins

We are in Flagstaff dropping off Logann getting her room set up, and buying and more buying (I'm tried of shopping).

We came up on Thursday pulling a trailer She has a lot of stuff, moved her in and then on Friday got the computer and lap top hooked up as well as the TV. Her room is so tiny and hot, she is on the 7Th floor so move in day was fun. I went down the stairs never up Eli begged to go up, though he thought it was a secret way.


Saturday she got a bike (pictures later), went to 2 stores and then back to the first one (I'm really tired of shopping). The pictures of her dorm are at the bottom and her view a Cemetery (there are several on campus) .


After buying the bike we decide to check out some sights in Flagstaff so we headed I-40 to Meteor Crater but got side tracked at Walnut Canyon National Monument. Wow it was amazing!! The Sinagua Indians were cliff dwellers, some of the pictures you can see the smoke all over the rocks and what a view the canyon is beautiful. These pictures are of the Anasazi Indians you can find the ruins on highway 89, north of Flagstaff at Wupatki National Monument. It started to rain so we ran up took a few pictures and ran back to the car before it started to pour down. What a great day just missing one thing Logann as she had to stay back on campus for more orientation.

There is a lot of wind through here

We saw the deer after leaving the visitor center. It was funny because we just hiked the mountain and no wild life. Go figure!!

These are the shoe I wore. My poor feet I need a pedicure.

sorry for the looonnnggg gggaaappp
