1. Saturday Dave and I went to Idaho Falls with Daniel just to look around. We stopped at a western/ranch store to check out some saddles. I had fun looking at everything I need to get. Then we went to the boat store to see if they had any anchors, we lost our anchor at bullards bar. They didn't have what we were looking for so I guess we will need to get it online.
2. By the time we were done it was nearly three and we were starving. So we stopped and had lunch at applebees. We enjoyed a lot of appetizers. I ate so much that I didn't need anything else for the rest of the day.
3. For the first time in over a month I made a sunday dinner with rolls. We had Brianna, Daniel and Heather over so I actual felt motivated enough to bake some rolls.
4. Started watching the new season of TV shows. I love having DVR that way I can watch my shows when I have time too. I tried watching the first episode of the new show Fringe, but I must admit that it was just a little to weird for me. Plus it was slow, too bad though because I love Joshua Jackson. I guess I'll just stick to the shows I already love.
5. Last week we got the boat winterized and have moved it into our garage. I sure am going to miss the summer!
6. bought the new book Brisinger, the third in the Eragon series yesterday. Now I just need to see if I can put off starting it until I finish the Ender series I have been reading. then I plan on starting some Shannon Hale since she was highly recommended by several people. I just don't know which of her novels I should start with?
7. Was shocked when I bought dog food yesterday and it cost nearly $40, just a few months ago it was $26. I know they had to raise prices because of gas, but really that much!
8. Dave came home from work last night to discover that the cats had tore into their can of treats and had eaten the whole container. what a surprise that they were not hungry the rest of the night. I wonder why I can't get weight off of Piper?
9. I have been leaving Frodo loose in the backyard for short periods of time and have been happy to find him still in the backyard when I get home. I still don't think I can trust him while I am at work. 10 hrs is just gives him to much time to find a way out.
10. Now that it is cold we have been battling the wasp. after killing several nest around the house, it has gotten better. But I think there is one under our deck because there are always several swarming around the back door.

Ten for the week
1. Dave and I left for our vacation saturday morning. We drove ten hours to Reno and stayed in the circus circus for two nights.
2. Just for some entertainment we took a few dollars and played the slot machines. I of course didn't make much. I did win about 50 off of one dollar, but of course I played all that away. the next time I played a couple quarters and won 45 dollars, I was a little smarter and cashed out. Dave on the other hand won nearly $500, he sure has all the luck!
3.Monday morning we made the 2 hr drive to Bullards Bar. After getting the houseboat all loaded we found a great spot to anchor and spent the week playing in the water. I was glad that my parents and sister and family all made it. maybe next year we can plan for a week when more people will be able to come!
4. I did a lot of surfing and I actually feel really comfortable on the board now. I am much more willing to try doing tricks surfing because sit doesn't hurt when I fall. I did some wakeboarding but like always I had a pretty hard fall, ouch.
5. Got up friday morning and drove the houseboat back to the dock and made our 12 hr trip back to rexburg. We got back at around 11:30 and all the animals we very happy to see us.
6. We very lucky to have Brianna available to stay at our house while we were gone. that way the dogs didn't have to stay at the Kennels all week and the cat got her antibiotics. She did learn how neurotic my dog is and called me tuesday because frodo hadn't been eating. no worries though, he doesn't always eat even when I am around!
7. Slept in Saturday morning, needed to recover from the long drive the day before.
8. Went over to Brad and Jolene's in the afternoon so I could ride Millie. It was my first time on her and I had a lot of fun. For a short time Millie actually did her gait and wow it was smooth. Jolene took some pics , so as soon as she sends them I will post a couple.
9. Spent tuesday cleaning the house and getting caught back up from a week off.
10. Tuesday afternoon Jolene taught me how to hook up her goose neck trailer and then had me drive in a parking lot practicing backing up, turning, etc. After the lesson we loaded Millie and Sunny up in the trailer and I drove them over to our house. I was very pleased to learn that Millie is very easy to load in a trailer. Now we once again have a couple horses in our pasture.

Bullards Bar
I was very excited to take a week of vacation last week. My Parents and sister and family, Joined Dave and me at Bullards bar reservoir for the week. We rented a houseboat and enjoyed spending a relaxing week on the lake. It was a great week to go, since it was the off season. With very few people on the lake and water like glass, we had a great time playing on the water.

Ten on Tuesday
1. Went over on worked with Millie everyday but friday last week. put some hoof moisturizer on every night and now her feet are really starting to look good.
2. Saturday Dave worked on putting a lift kit on his truck. It is his birthday present(a little early), but he wanted to put it in now.
3. Sunday our friends Adele and Jake blessed their baby girl, so we went over to their place after the meeting to have some lunch.
4. Monday we went to the Eastern Idaho State Fair with Jesse and Miles. We had a good time walking through all the animal barns and eating some fair food. I was told I had to try Tiger ears(which are really big flat scones), it was yummy! Dave won a huge stuffed lion, which I ended up caring around for most of our time there.
5.We went and saw the Mummy last night and I think we both felt it wasn't worth the money we paid to see it. So disappointing since I loved the first two.
6.Since I also have tuesdays off I was lucky enough to have a four day weekend. It was nice to get up this morning and read for a little bit instead of feeling like I had somewhere to be.
7. The sears guy came today and finally fixed our lawnmower. The blades had been stuck because the lever to move them was bent.
8. Went over to Jolene's today and she helped me work with Millie again. She is getting better but I still think she needs to learn more before I see have she is to ride. I have been trying to teach her to move her feet when I ask. She improves everyday.
9.only three days of work this week and then I get to have a week vacation! I am so excited and very overdue for some time off. I think I am getting a little burnt out.
10.The weather has turned cold, I can't believe it is already the fall. It rained sunday and monday. I have started wearing long sleeves and jackets. I guess summer is so short so that when it is warm we really enjoy it!
