Where's the Turkey???

So last night Porter came home with an assignment from school. I am sure that all of you have done this with your kids before, but I wanted to show you Porter's. He was given a blank turkey and assigned to disguise him. Porter thought about it for a minute and came in and said I want mine to be.. I will see if you can figure out who he decided he wanted his to be.

It is BATMAN... I thought it was cute, he had to show Jami, Drey and Nana before he took it to school..

Warning

Dear friend,
For those of you who do not know I am a chicken. If something bad is going to happen I believe that it is going to happen to me. But I was watching the news the other day and saw this. It scared me to death. Shocker Jami shh... But it is interesting I think it is something to look at and maybe look at your own blogs. http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=4699330I used to be private but I have thought about going private again. If you who read my blog do go private you have better invite me to your blog..

Thanks
Jodi

Where does the time go..

I can't believe that Halloween has come and gone. I guess with all the excitement and candy eating, it just flies by.

Porter had a fun time at school making cookies, ghosts a pumpkin walk , spook alley and of course a parade. Keller and I sat and waited for Porter to come with Dreyton, jami and Nana. Porters class came around the corner. There was a big gap and then >>> here comes porter walking to the beat of his own drum..

Darth Vader in the parade. He had the mean mom who wouldn't let him wear his mask or his lightsaber. Because it is against the rules. The cottonbetteridges carved pumpkins

We had a family home evening with The Baileys, and the Cottonbetteridges. We carved pumpkins and had a blast. Dr Bailey is a dentist. He was nicer to the pumpkins then he is to me when I go to visit him.


But my favorite costume of the night, was a friend that I used to coach with isn't coaching anymore, because she wanted to have kids. They tried for a while to have kids and couldn't. So they adopted this cute little guy Jarret. But he was dressed up like a lion and his costume said:

No Lion I am going to be a big brother.

They are not adopting this one either..

I looked out the window and what did I see?

My brand new laptop waiting for me.... It finally arrived. It is wonderful. I can type and back space. All the letters work it is wonderful. I am back in blogging action. But I guess I am really back in blogging action because of Jake. Isn't he a peach. He has given me so much to blog about and I am so thankful don't get me wrong. All the guys at his work think I am a Queen B. They just now really know the truth about me after the last blog. But life is only getting better. Jake surprised me with a nice romantic dinner from his girlfriend Wendy's joint. But while we were are enjoying our fries and hamburger Jake slips in a little bit of useful information.. "while I went with Jesse, I gotta a dog." Seriously "Yes" he said. So I asked what any normal wife would ask who has had the weekend that I had. "Are you just trying to piss me off?" So off Jake heads to meetings. I go outside to check to see if there is a dog. No there isn't a dog out there....There was 2 dogs.... So, I am wondering if anyone knows of an apartment for rent for Jake and an extremely large bear.

The wrath of Jodi

So since my last post I have thought about how am I going to blog this upcoming event. I have thought of a few ideas to introduce the subject. Were going on a Jake hunt. Bear or husband that is the question. Husband for sale. What category would this go under on eBay. But the last few days I have unleashed the wrath of Jodi on Jake. It all started over dinner Jake said "the guy called and the bear would be ready this weekend. " I laughed . SURE.. So Friday Jake called home and said "can I go bird hunting on Sat? Or do you want me to bring the bear home on Friday night. " Well I weighed the options. A hundred dollar bird hunt on Saturday or a bear. I choose neither. So Jake said fine I will hunt birds on Sat and then pick the bear up that night. SO this is when the claws came out. I needed a big break and a deep breathe . So I went to pick up porter from nana's and then another issue came up that almost caused a use of the epi-pen. A crying mother praying to heavenly father for her little boy who couldn't breathe after eating cheese popcorn with Drey and nurse Jami who deals with this stuff at crest working.

But the news was told to porter and he had to call Drey and nana. It has almost been as exiting for Jake and porter as Christmas. So after a trip to Lehi with a snowmobile trailer it is here. Yes I want to tell you that it isn't as bad or big as I thought. But it is huge. Porter and Drey love it. Jake loves it and I am in depression. At least it doesn't stink.. So if you would like to see it. Come on down Jake and Porter would be proud to show you.

The boys took about a million pictures of it and then they wanted their picture taken with it.

So since it has been outside in the trailer since Sat night waiting for the guys to help move it. I have just talked mad OK yelled and scram at Jake about looking at me. Or anything that I can think of too yell at him about. I know many of you will not believe that but it is true.J ake has said the bear has been in the house for the last few month. I guess that is me...

So there is some of the beck's dirty laundry for ya.....

So for all of you who would like to see it. Here it is.....

PS-- Jake is looking for a 1 room apartment for a few months while I calm down..

PSS-- The only comfort I have this week is that a email came and my new computer has been shipped. It is hard to type when half of your numbers and letters don't work..

Like sands through the hour glass.. So are the days of our lives..

There will be more information posted soon about this time in my life. I will give you and update and a picture when I have my new computer. Since I spilled water all over mine and the numbers and letters I need to log into the blog. Don't work any more. I just hope that I survive the weekend. I may need your help with sympathy and chocolate.

What time is it?

Only in Payson would you see this sign to send off the hunters. I have heard the opening of the deer hunt compared to Cinco De Mayo. A bunch of men running around drunk shooting their guns. PRETTY SAFE.

They added the Root about 2 days after the first posting. But Jami and I got a good laugh at it.
Our Garden would you say we have a "Plethora of Pumpkins?" Quoting the Three Amigos. Our garden kicked out about 25 pumpkins. We will be carving and digging out seeds for the rest of our lives.


We actually bought some of the Mr. Potato Head stick in the pumpkin things that work real smooth. But Jake feels we need the carving and cutting experience. He will do any thing to break out his knives and sharpen them...
But now that I have told you about how great life is. Let me tell you a little gripe. I HATE HALLOWEEN. I hate the scary shows that come with it, I hate the dark. But most of all I hate those stupid emails that go around. I have all ready commented about the pumpkin moon. Since posting that I have not got another one of them.. But the ones that get you watching a movie of a girl wrecking on her bike the email states, or playing tic tac toe. So you are concentrating thinking you have three in a row in the bag, and then the scary lady pops up and screams. What the heck. I appreciate all of you sending those and scary the you know what out of me. Porter and I about had a hard attack after a tough game of Tic Tac Toe. So anyways if you continue to want to send them great, just don't send them to me. And that's all I have to say about that.
