Finally!!!!!!

Today we go to Target to do normal grocery shopping and we are just trained to check for Wii stuff. So we go in and are normally disappointed so today we are shocked when we see a Wii Fit box!!! I had to do a double look! I had never seen the box even--but today I saw 3 on the shelf and they had 4 more in boxes. We have been looking for ever since it came out casually---not hard core. We finally lucked out :)

I love Fall....

I love Fall because of all the wonderful things that you can do and that happen in the fall. The weather gets cooler. We can have have fires in the fire pit in the cooler evenings. The leaves start to change colors. Jacket/sweatshirt wearing time! I also love to go to Craft Shows :) There is one this weekend!! Good times!!

Unfortunfately...

that Amber has decided to quit soccer. We were kinda disappointed after all these years but she has to do what she feels is best for her. If she has no interest and its not fun than I guess she doesn't need to continue :(

Coolest thing.....

We went to Menards tonight to return a shovel for the second time. We had forgotten the receipt. They now have a machine that you slide your credit card or check across a screen and it brings up all your purchases by date. You print it and whaaa laaa---you have a receipt. I was surprised I had shopped at Mendards as much as I had. I just wanted to print all the receipts it was sooooo easy. I loved it.

Rabbit fun

I had some fun tonight with the dogs. We play this game chasing rabbits around the yard. The big dogs and I kick him out and then Misha chases him down and barks til we get there. Well tonight Opal kicked a rabbit out and it ran down the hill and stopped. Misha got right on him so he took off again and ran down by the willow on the outside of Mishas inv. fenc. So she just stood them barking to tell us where he was. We came through the willow and couldn't see the rabbit. It took me a few min to find him but the rabbit had sat down under a piece of overbrush. It was very cute. The dogs couldnt find him they were looking all over--high, low--no rabbit. I called Gary over and showed him the rabbit about then Opal spotted it. She got all excited again but I pulled her away so I could try to get a pic. but the rabbit ran away so sorry no pic.

HD TV

We have been enjoying our new satellite. We try to only watch HD tv. Dumb huh? It is such a better pic. We usually scan for HD channels to watch 1st----we have even sunk so low as to watch football and baseball :) But the best thing is we can record The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan in HD!!! Previously we didn't have Nat. Geographic Channel so this is a big plus--I always had to watch it on the road when I traveled with Amber and soccer. I just love to watch this show--so this was one of my requirements when we were looking at new satellite.

I won this....

I might have won the neckalce for Opal and I did lose a blanket for Chase but when it came time for the auction I had my eye one 1 item only. This print is called Shades of Grey. There is a dog in here that looks just like our dog who passed away named Rabbit. So we are fond of this print. So we thought we would go for this if it did't go too much. Lucky for us we only had 1 other bidder and after Gary beat her with a stick she backed out :) ha. Just kidding but we did end up with this beautiful piece that we had a spot for behind the sofa already waiting.

Prairie Beach '08

We had a good time yesterday. Opals trainer came over so we got to visit with her and she got to see Opal :) The dogs love to get together with the other greys. There is no growling or fighting only tail wagging and butt sniffing. They also love all the attention they get from other dog owners--now Opal and Chase get lots b/c they are whites --which are uncommon-- plus 2 living together very uncommon--People think they are related but no. At the raffle yesterday I won Opal some bling which made her even more of the belle of the ball! The pearls have smaller pink ones in between to match her collar plus its for support of breast cancer. She is pretty tired in the photo as it was a long day for them with much more excitement than normal.

House of Illness

Well we have a bit of sickness in our house. I have had a cold the last few days and can't take cold medicine so I am having to suffer. :( Amber got real sick last night and today I took her to the doc and she has Strep throat. Wierd thing was at the doc office they gave her a choice of pill or a shot of penicillian so she went for the shot. After the shot they kept us there for 40 min waiting for the ibuprofin or tylonel ot get her temp to go down since it was 103.3. So now she has 5 days of no work, friends or school. Poor thing huh?

Watch where you stick your hand...

I was cleaning up the flowers garden and I felt something sticky on my hand. When I looked at it it looked like a piece of web. So I looked at the piece I was trying to pull out and I saw part of the web but no spider. So I looked a bit further and saw this GIANT spider. He was soooo close he coulda jumped on me---eeewww gross. He is so large--I think he is a garden spider but his butt looks like its deflated. As you can see he has a tasty treat.
