Spiders

Me and Morgan were enjoying the wonderful weather outside just soaking up the sun and feeling the lite breeze. We looked at my flower bed and decided that these huge plants that were taller than Morgan had to go. One by one we pulled these suckers out and just as we got to a root of one, a huge spider jumped on me. If you know me you can guess what happened next. I started screaming, shaking my leg and running all at the same time. Poor Morgan in confusion of what was going on screamed and ran with me. Thank goodness there were no neighbors around, that would have been a sight. After that little incident we went into the house, never to set foot out the front door until dad got home and killed the spider. For the rest of the day I had the Heebie Jeebies, felt like something was crawling on me all the time. After a long day Scott comes home and guess what he brings..... a tarantula from work (again). Why would you bring a spider home if you know your wife will NOT let you keep it? These are the times when I wonder were his brain is, obviously not in his head. Let me just say it will be a while until I go and pull my weeds again. I love you babe, please stop bringing them home. I HATE spiders!

Tyler

I finely got some pictures of Tyler, it wasn't easy but I succeeded. He is just growing up so fast, he is only about a half an inch shorter than me. His feet are the size of his dads, and he is in men's clothes. I no longer can shop in the kids area for him. He is growing into a fine young man but I miss that little blond, blue eye baby boy. Not only is he growing so is his brain, he is moving into accelerated reading and honors math. We are so proud of him.

Here a frog there a frog everywhere a frog, frog...

Yesterday was one of those days where you can just open the windows and let the soft cool breeze flow through the whole house, you can hear all kinds of birds singing and the bugs chirping. But when a day like this happens there is always something that comes with it. If you look out your window you could see a storm rolling in, see the lightning as it feels the whole sky and hear the thunder rumbling. Don't you just love a good rain storm? Slowly the darkness wins and everything goes into hiding to wait out the storm. Well everyone but the Acton clan, we decided to go frog hunting. Yes, you read it right "frog hunting" and let me tell you it was a night to remember. Morgan couldn't contain herself with excitement as we catched these little guys. Even I caught one, but said "eww eww eww" the whole time it squirmed in my hand until I put it in the bucket. Wonderful Scott held the bucket that had all the frogs in it. Every time he opened that bucket they tried to exscape, they climbed all over him trying to find a way out. And trust me they are quick little buggers. But don't think of us as cruel by containing these frogs, we were saving there lives. All these frogs that we collected were on the road, some were already dead from vehicles that could not avoid the many frogs. We decided to catch as many as we can so nobody else would run them over. Once we were done we took them home and let them go in our yard were they would be safe. We had such a wonderful time we can't wait for the next rain storm to come so we can catch some more...

Morgan

I was fooling around with my camera, when Morgan wanted me to take some pictures of her. So we just had fun and took some pictures, she is so photogenic. She loves to have her picture taken, and I love to take her picture. This is the time I really enjoy being with her. She is so fun to be with when she is happy. These are the moments I cherish, and I am so grateful I can take picture to remember them by. Tyler on the other hand doesn't care to have is picture taken. But I'm going to sneak some pictures of him and blog him.

New Kitty in Town

Morgan got a kitty from her aunt Desi at the end of May. He was so fuzzy and cute, then he grew and grew and grew to a lion. He has huge paws, a long tail and a giant head and he's still growing. But we love him and wouldn't have him any other way. Well Tyler said he wanted a kitty, and we thought maybe Tony (Antonio) needs a playmate so we got us another kitty. She is tiny and every thing on her is petite, we got her at the animal shelter and they named her midnight. We love the name so we decided to keep it. While all this was happening Tony got his man hood removed and his claws. He wouldn't leave his paws alone so he has to were this cover until his paws are healed. I think he looks cute with it. This is Tony in his rounded blue necklace. Every time the flap is up he can't see so he stares at the ground and walks, trust me it's funny. But every morning he somehow removes it from his head, and we couldn't figure out how he got it off. Scott spotted Midnight playing with the string and then she unties it, then Tony wiggled it off (they have done this a bunch of times).
This is our new kitty Midnight, she is so sweet and loving. The kids love her and she fits perfectly in our home. She looks allot like Dusty but with yellow eyes.
Midnight is checking everything out, and Tony is in love. All he did for the first day was follow her everywhere she went. She being a female, ignored him. Every time she sat down to take a nap he was right there with her, but as soon as he sat she got up and went to the other couch.


I have a funny story to tell you about Tony and Midnight. As you well know cats have a good sniffer to smell things out. Well I'm thinking Tony's sniffer isn't functioning very well, let me explain. Tony (T) and Midnight (M) were chasing each other around the house and M went behind the couch, well T can't fit with the blue necklace so he sits on the arm of the couch leaning over it waiting for her to come out. On the opposite side M comes out and plops on the same couch T is on. I am sitting in the chair watching this, and T looks at me wondering were she is. If only T looked down while he was looking at me he would have seen her, she just sat there looking at him and he didn't even notice. He kept looking behind the couch then at me, he did this a few times. When he was looking at me he looked down and spotted her, the look on his face (and trust me he had a look) of complete surprise was priceless. They stared at each other for at least 30 seconds then he pounced. If only his sniffer was working!

First Day of School

Can you believe it? It is finely here, one of the most exciting days for any mom who has a kid going to school. No more "I'm board" or complaining about being hungry all the time, staying inside because it's just to hot. My favorite is having peace and quiet for 6 hours. And it just goes on and on. But it will also be sad time, hold off on vacations and traveling to see family in far off places, playing at the lake, no homework for 3 months, and all that relaxing we got to do. For me it was sleeping in....... Oh how I will miss that sleeping in.

Kids ready for school

Tyler will be heading off to Middle School, the big 6th grader. This is a challenge that he will definitely like. Having so many teachers will keep him less then bored and keep him very busy. The one thing he likes is that he has friends in all his classes. Morgan is very excited this year she is now a 3rd grader in Mrs. Nelson's class, she was Morgans Karate teacher. This is going to be good for her because Mrs. Nelson won't take any of Morgans bull honky....So I pray that i won't get any Principal, teacher, vice principal, librarian, or councilor calling me this year. Cross your Fingers!!!

Good luck Tyler and Morgan we love you very much and hope you have a wonderful year in school. Be good and listen to your teachers.

Camping with the family

What an amazing time we had up in the beautiful mountains. This is one of the things I miss most about Utah, the big green valleys, green trees, lakes, green mountains, oh did I mention how green it is? Anyways lets just say it was beautiful. We may have had our ups and downs camping with such a big group but the most part it was fun. Ok so lets put those pictures in to good use and let me tell you what they are. The first 3 are the nature pictures (all photo's taken by Alan). 4 is one of the best (the potty). 5-7 are the kids having fun playing ball (they had a blast). 8-10 now this is kinda funny, Jody may not think so but it was lte me tell you. We are camped right next to a cute little stream, its wonderful at night it puts you right to sleep with its little tinkles noises. But during the day its Jody's worst nightmare, Kolby that cute little blondle blue eye boy loves to get in that water every second he could. The second she turned around he was headed right for that stream, and let me tell you he can run fast for such a short legged kid. He was getting changed 2 to 4 times a day (now that's funny). 11-14 this is all about four wheeling and it was a blast, its funny to see when people get back they were covered from head to toe in dust (the boys just chilled there such wusses when it comes to four wheeling. HEE HEE). 15 is of Desi and Kylee every time she got on it she didn't want to get off (she's so related). 16-19 just us hanging out after dinner (I think Morgan was the dirtiest out of them all). 20 is quite the thing, Jon has a projector so we can watch scary movies in the woods. But for some odd reason it gets pretty nippley in the woods. (don't they look warm). 21 and 22 are the Wilson family there part of our family, Becky is my aunt and Aleca is her daughter thinking she can pull her mom out (you go girl). Oh, Becky's man Mike is picture 20 on the left, and last we have Alan, Aleca's man who took all these wonderful picture for us (thanks Alan). Well the last three are of the beautiful, green, huge mountain in my moms back yard. OK that's all our camping enjoyment hope you liked it, we had fun doing it (yes we did). Love you all, The Actons
