Sarge has GROWN

One this very rare 50 degree end of fall weather, we decided to take full advantage of playing outside without freezing our tusies off. As I post this blog, I realized the only Sarge pictures that are on here are the ones when we had just adopted him into our family. Well he has grown "a little" since then. He is 8 months old, still hasn't grown into is PAWS-normous paws yet. He is still growing steadily and has become a very protective member of this family.

Then again no backyard fun is complete without a wheelbarrow ride. See how Sarge follows the boyz around like a protection shield.

HALLOWEEN

PUMPKIN PATCH
We adopted a new tradition this Halloween-pumpkin patch trip. Theres a pumpkin farm not too far from our home, we go to the owners house and let him know that we will be gettin some pumpkins. The we drive over across the street to the farm and walk through yards and yards of pumpkin bush and pick out the best ones. Corban was having a blast running from pumpkin to pumpkin looking for his favorite ones. Peyton onthe other hand was not so sure about the vines all over that were hard to walk over and the weeds that were taller than him. He was still a trooper and we had to choose his pumpkin since he kept trying to bite into the ones he found.

KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM

So the warm, sunny days are over way too sooner then it needs to. Halloween is usually one of the holidays when we like to take part in as a whole family. This Halloween Josh was working so that theory had to be changed. Corban being in Kindergarten wanted to be various different characters. On on his school halloween program he decided to be a Cowboy Sheriff. Well here he is in his outfitt with many friends, during the halloween program. They sang many songs--mostly scary ones!

HALLOWEEN DAY AT SCHOOL

Then on Halloween day, he wnated to be scary for his class. So he decided to be emperor of evil. Well he got his wish, he looks pretty scary to me!

HALLOWEEN NIGHT

And then on the night of Halloween to go trunk a treat he wanted to be cowboy sheriff with a pistol and a rifle, phew, this boy is tiring. Well once again he got to be just that. And Peyton had to just live with what I put on him. I went as my self, thats a perfect costume :)

FIJI BEACHES

THE UPRISING

One of the many things that I was looking forward to was some time on the beach. We live in Idaho, so beaches don't exist here. Anyway, we were able to spend some time at a place called the Uprising. This place was amazin. It was right on the beach and you practically live on the sand and watch the tide come in and out all day long-I can do that ALL DAY LONG--no complains here. Once again my sister is good friends with the manger at the urisingthere so we got to have some time of to ourselves and enjoy what I have been missing for 5 years. This little hut was definitely a place to relax and to get your thoughts together about importance of life.

Now why would someone in their sane mind want to leave a place like this and move to IDAHO of all places. Well, I am pretty sure you all have thought of many reasons why-my reason is-I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord, over mountains or plains or SEA....you get the idea.

Even though sometimes-like right now when it is 35 outside--I want to rebel and go back. But i will just look at our bank account and say maybe next time.

TIRI ECO VILLAGE

Our last day there, my sister and her family took us to this exclusive ECO hidden in the rainforest of Fiji to spend some more time with her family on the beach. Weather was nice but a little windy, which to the people of Fiji was cold, but for us PERFECTO. After a lot of coaxing Josh got me convinced to go snorkel, it was cold and windy but the water was or so warm and clean and blue. This place was peaceful and very serene. Noone around for miles just us, the kids and the beautiful beach. We played there for a whole day, they even had a pool that we got to enjoy as well, even if the ocean was better then the pool.

Me and sister Sharola, a very amazin view and fishys in the sea having our left over lunch.

Kids all dressed up for the swim, Komal and Kevin. Josh and Colin using one of the plates that we ate on as a frisbie. Their older sister Sonam joined in and decided to turn their brother into a woman.

Josh teaching the kids how to swim, me just happy to be there, and Josh Snorkeling.

If anyone of you are planning to visit Fiji, call me I will be your personal tour guide and take you places you won't get to see if you do this alone. Hey all I ask for is for you to take me there, pay for my flight and I will be your guide--:)
