habanero anyone?

Jack took his habanero plant to work and it grew like crazy. He picked about 30 peppers off it and made some hot sauce.

Autumn is three!

I know I'm late with November. But Happy Birthday little three year old Autumn. We had planned on doing a bounce house and pinata for her birthday but all of a sudden she decided she didn't want a party. She insisted that she didn't want one! So the 6 of us just went to Chucky Cheeses and had cake after. She is a funny thing. Keeps us entertained. She had a fortune cookie and I asked her what it said and she 'read' it saying "You break the cookie and take out the paper and don't let the dogs eat the cookie." The real fortune said ' Your sense of humor is a joy to all.' That is the truth, she is a joy to have around. I had thought about naming her after our good friend and neighbor Joyce, would have fit. She has a best fried, the five year old neighbor boy. She is kinda picking up some of his naughty habits but loves to play with him. The other day I had a meeting for work and she was kinda shuffled around the three older kids between work and school someone is always leaving, but I came home and asked her "You had a lot of babysitters today, who was your favorite?" and she said YOU and hugged me. So glad I only work part time. Rachel got her a Sing a ma Jig and Rachel's friend got her a drum set, yeah!

Wow December already!

I didn't realize the whole month of November just passed me by. I didn't even get in the Thanksgiving mood and now Christmas is around the corner. I applied, interviewed and got my old job back. Put in 70 hours the first week! Worked 7 days straight and I'm a part timer, LOL. Sure can use the paycheck with Christmas coming. Kyle went to an agility test with Scottsdale PD and passed. Went to a oral board and passed now he needs to pass the polygraph and background check. I will let you know how it goes.

dance class

Here is a video of Autumn's dance class. They usually don't let the parents in but on the last day of the session they show us what they have been working on. You don't have to watch the whole thing, but the reason I posted was when they act like cats Autumn's cat always seems to have broken legs. It's at the beginning of the video.

New addition

We got a new addition to our family. Rachel found this little dog and brought her home. I wasn't too happy at first but she is a sweet dog. Rachel named her Kitty. Autumn is glad she has a dog to carry around. But the other day she told us she wanted her own puppy. We told her 3 dogs was enough! Then she said "Rusty is a dog, Scrappy is a dog but Kitty is a puppy." Then suggested we take Rusty and Scrappy to the 'animal shelf'. When we told her they were part of the family and we couldn't do that and how would she like it if we took her to the 'animal shelter'? She said "I'm not a dog, think about it!" Then we said maybe the kid shelter and she yelled "NO" ran down to her room and yelled "that's not fair" and slammed the door. Five minutes later she came out happy as can be but the next day suggested we get a cat!

Twins

Dbacks

Jack and I went to the Dbacks game last night. Great game! NL West champs! Sent a pic of Autumn and my nephew Jacob and it was on the jumbo tron. We are going to tonight's game and Autumn can't wait. We finally got Rachel and Karen to go too. Kyle is going also. Will be fun and it's a bobble head night. What to do with 6 bobble heads, assuming we get there for one.
