My weird animals

Loki and Maisey sharing a bed. Loki usually doesn't hang out with the other cats because nobody really likes him. He is a really weird cat, but I love him.
Any kind of box or sack, my cats can't stay out of it. It gets pretty funny to catch them in the act of being weird. It's usually Maisey or Frito that is the weirdest.
Loki never hangs out with the family so if you know him at all, this is a weird occurence! Ruby just wants to know why Loki is hanging out in her bed.
This is Ruby's Halloween costume. She is going to be a fairy. The last two years she has been a lady bug, so this will be a nice change.
Ruby won a gold medal! Just kidding. She is wearing my new necklace. That gave me an idea to make her a necklace that she will wear as a collar. I don't have a picture of it, but it looks really cute. She looks like a little lady!
Maisey is not scared of anything. Ruby and Maisey follow me wherever I go. I guess they are getting used to sleeping right next to each other because of that. I think it is pretty cute.
Maisey might not be afraid of anything but a door closed behind her. This was the front door shut with her stuck outside. She gets so worried, but she is so curious of the outdoors.

Tonsilectomy

So, two weeks ago I got my tonsils out and I was expecting it to be totally awful. All I heard from everyone was how bad it was and how it is so much worse as an adult. I heard it hurts so bad, you don't even want to swallow your own spit and that it is the worse sore throat that you ever had.

I am happy to report that it really wasn't that bad. I had some pain killers that helped me get through it though. It has just been over 2 weeks and I feel almost normal. It still hurts to yawn, but it wasn't too bad. I went back to the doctor and he said that I was in the 5% of people who don't have a bad time with this surgery. To tell you the truth, I am usually in the percentage who have it the worse, so I am happy I was lucky this time.

My mom came to help take care of my the day I had my surgery and we ended up having a fun time. We went to Target shopping and we even worked on our beaded stuff. Thanks mom for coming. I appreciate it and I love you!

FYI, I apologize for the slutty picture of me, but Jon made me pose that way! He is a nerd.

Bowling

Awe! Isn't that cute? We went bowling like a month or so ago and took some pictures of the big event.
Jon is teaching Jobi how to bowl. Jobi was so mad that he couldn't get it right. I think he is going to be super hard on himself when it comes to sports as he gets older. All I can tell him is to keep practicing and thats how you get better. He of course doesn't like that answer! It's probably how I felt growing up when my dad said if I just go in and clean my room, it would take 15 minutes. I always thought in my head, Ya Right! Good times.
Jobi in an action shot. Too cool not to post! Happy dance!
This was a picture of Jobi's Amish haircut. We went and got his haircut and the girl basically just cut his bangs straight across and left the rest. It looked fine when we left because it was still wet. I had to go somewhere else to get it recut. It was not good!

Here is Jon being a pro bowler. I believe it!

Jon's Loot

Jon's birthday was on the 1st of October and so I woke up early and took him out to breakfast first thing. I had to take a picture of him for his big day for Facebook and this is the magical shot. I bought him this ring he is wearing for his birthday. It is a ring we found in Alaska that he really liked and he didn't buy it. It is a wolf ring that is made by a Native Alaskan Indian Artist. It looks really great on his big finger too!
Some other gifts he got was this Everyday Food cookbook and a Pacific Northwest Art Eagle mug. He also got a handmade incense burner and a speaker system for his Iphone, a new camp chair that is super comfy(not pictured), and another cookbook magazine.
He got pretty spoiled! That night we had our old neighbors/friends over for dinner and cake and had a great time. Annie, the friend we had over, makes really great food and desserts. Jon asked if she could make him another Red Velvet cake this year for his birthday. It was so good and it was gone the next day. Thanks to the Pagett's for the company and cake!

Jon's Birthday

First day of school

I know I am so late, but here are a few pictures of Jobi's first day of 3rd grade. We walked to school and we went with all the neighbor friends. From left: Jobi, Brynlee, Avery, Lily, George, and Brynn.
Here is Jobi in line for his class. He looks so happy!
Another friend picture. Feels like so long ago now.

Seattle Trip

We went to Seattle again a couple of weekends ago for the Nebraska Huskers football game against the Washington Huskies. We met up with Roger and Linda and the boys had a great time. I think Jobi will remember that fun game forever.
Roger and Linda stayed at Linda's sister's house in Seattle and of course they are big Washington fans and they made Jobi try on the Husky hat. It was pretty cool. They all had a great time.
Jobi loved to watch the fish be thrown around at the fish market. People seem to loose their heads at places like the Pikes Market. People will come stand right in front of you to take a picture or to just get a better view of the fish throwing. Hello - I am 5'3" people and my son is shorter than that. People/tourists just loose their heads when something cool is going on. Other than that, the fish market was fun!
Of course we had to send Roger to the fat booth. He looks great!
On our last day we went over to West Seattle to the beach. We could stay there all day. It is fun to hang out by the water and hear the calm of the waves splashing the beach. It so beautiful too.
Self portrait of me on the beach. This is a classic Heather pose. I always take this photo of myself where ever we go!
Jobi and I had a fun time looking for seashells and sea glass. Jobi loves to play by the water.

I thought this picture was funny. I look so confused.
I think Jon looks so cute on the beach. I love those clouds in the background. They are one of my favorite features in pictures. The clouds make such cool pictures. Thanks for looking. I am so glad I figured out how to post more pictures than just 5 at a time. Wish I would have known that for all the Alaska pictures I posted!
