Local News

Sorry not the prettiest. I copied and pasted. So I check the local online news everyday, and this is an article I found. I saw it and knew right then it was 2 LDS missionaries. It is a comfort to know they were doing the Lord's work and I'm sure that will be a great blessing to them. May our prayers be with their families.

DONNA, Texas (AP) — Investigators say a driver has surrendered after two Mormon missionaries on bicycles were killed and a third was hurt after being hit by a car in South Texas.

Department of Public Safety Trooper Johnny Hernandez says the victims wore helmets and were using bicycle lights when they were struck by the oncoming car around 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Hernandez said Wednesday that it was dark during the wreck in Donna and the driver, from Mexico, ran away but later surrendered at a port of entry. Charges are pending.

A statement from the Mormon church identifies the men who died as 21-year-old Trevor Reinhold Strong of Taylorsville, Utah, and 20-year-oldDerek Jason Walker of Fairfield, Idaho.

Hospital officials say 19-year-old Zachary Todd Harris of Huntsville, Ala., was treated and released.

oh! here are some more

Forgot I had these. Propane is a good pillow, other than she doesn't hold still. :) But it's one way Daddy and Puppy bond. ;)

Our ward trunk or treat was fun. I don't know who this was, an adult, but it was the coolest thing ever.

We had many costumes. There were ninjas, super heros, princesses, foods, and so much more. This was my favorite though. :) Little mickey mouse. complete with tail coat, and yellow crocks.

new pics

so Not much is going on here. So we don't have much to share......Propane still loves to watch the world through the windows. When we are upstairs the blinds gotta be open to keep propane content. Otherwise she will hear things and run around the house barking cuse she can't see what she hears. lol goofy girl.

For Halloween I made a paper mache pumkin. It ended up quite large.

And this is how it has looked outside for the last couple days. and Expected for the next few.

Sorry not much exciting this time.Life is kinda slow. But hopefully soon we'll be able to do some more fun things.

Happy Birthday to Propane!

SO not a ton going on here. we are working on garden boxes in our spare time, and keeping busy with work, the house cleaning and propane. We have decided to make October 28th propane's birthday. So we got her a couple new toys. She just has a tennis ball and some jeans. oh and i guess half of he kong toy Q gave her a while back. So we took her to petco to help us pick out a couple toys. ( I love how petco and petsmart let you bring your animals in. Propane does too. :))

She had sooo much fun with the car ride, a new place and new smells. So we gave her one toy early and saving the other for her Birthday. The new toy she has is a snake. It has 3 sections with squeakers in them, and a rattle in the tail. she absolutely LOVES it! as you will see in the videos.

Oh and silly girl decided sticking her head the milk box was a good idea this time.

More and more of us!

So here we are again, another post. First off, we have been having fabulous weather! I haven't had the ac on at all today. Just windows opened. There has been a chilly wind yesterday and today. We are so excited fr fall. The one downer is that the leaves don't change color.

We were lucky to babysit our friends chocolate lab, Braun. Yes the german word for brown. :) He is a couple months younger than propane, and pure bred. Very energetic, but the two dogs had so much fun and by the end of the weekend Braun was like a normal dog. lol They kept themselves entertained, and Daniel and I loved to watch them play.

They both wanted this stick.... but did ok walking around with it in both their mouths.

Our little girl. She gets to excited when daddy plays fetch with her outside.

Two tired puppies. Lots of playing inside and out side. They loved the time together.

drum roll.......... I still have fingernails!!!! I have always wanted a french manicure, ince i have nails, I painted my nails. :) It was great. I felt so fancy.

While i was working on some things, Propane was sleeping. She's so stinkin cute.

Daddy having a talk with propane. She was sooo hyper this night. I'm surprised she laid still this long.

Her favorite box to tear, and for some reason she thought she had to have her head in it.. this went on for a while too.

So over all we are doing good. To let everyone know, if you don't know. I am having surgery on October 31, to take out my endometriosis. Which has been increasing in pain. So i am excited and scared. It will take a week to recover. so that's the news. love you all!

More of us!

Here is a little more of what we have been up to. We have had cloudy and storms Saturday through Tuesday, (today). It has been great. When it isn't raining we have the windows open and it is so nice to have cool weather.

Here is My avocado and basil plants. I am so excited about them! The basil has grown so fast.

Propane loves car rides and loves sticking her head out. At least now she doesn't try to climb out the window. she sits on your lap and leans out. it is too cute.

Daniel got her a couple Frisbees to play with. we are trying to teach her to catch them, she just chases them around and as you can see, tires to chew on them. She punched two beautiful holes in it. :)
