The Cable Came!!! (:

I have MANY pictures from the last couple of months, but here are the highlights...

Our family loves going to the Arboretum (However, Kayla doesn't know she love it. We are still trying to convince her that nature is wonderful). This day we were unsuccessful, Logan was gone, so it was just Mommy, Daddy and Krystin...

Where was Logan?

At Cross Country Camp...

What did Logan bring home from Cross Country Camp?


2 Severely injured wrists! He is a trooper though. We took him to the doctor got him x-rays, casts and headed to Disneyland. That's what Ibuprofen is for, right?

Todd had a work Party at our house. It was fun.

First Day of School:

Kayla 11th, Krystin 8th, Logan 9th... Mommy sad...

Kayla's Sweet 16!!!

Family party at our house:


Auntie Mantha, Kay, and Grama D.

It was our friend Stevo's bday too!

What to wish for???

Birthday Disneyland trip (ok any excuse):

Cute Faries

M & D Love Disneyland

Birthday Limo and Concert!





and then of course... She now officially has her license...


BEFORE

AFTER

Logan's smile frequency has increased dramatically!

Family "Creed" Concert on the lawn

Trip to AZ (SHORT, QUICK TRIP)...

Logan graciously got pups ready for trip.

Logan's 1st Meet...

Pumpkin Patch

My Kids are seriously the funniest ever!

and the cutest...

Simply adorable............

BONUS - Conversations between little dogs:

(How do they converse you might ask? Using Dog telepathy, of course! Ask Todd about it.)

Lily says to Honey, "Hey, do you know any good tricks?"

Honey to Lily... "Well, I know this one."

I can touch my tongue to the top of my nose!

Lily to Honey - "That is Hilarious!"
"I love it!"

I ordered a new cable, really

I really did. My camera is busting at the seems to download (or is upload?) some pictures.... So... hopefully the cable will be here soon! (:

In the mean time, here is a quick update:

Indoor plumbing... Sounds awesome, really it does. I can't say I don't love taking showers or flushing toilets or any of those things...

But, dang it when something goes wrong - What a nightmare!!!!

---- So, for ONE week now we have had a leak in Logan's room (the only bedroom downstairs). A slab leak of some sort. Plumbers have have been tearing up the downstairs... Grrr.
- Bathroom downstairs no longer usable HUGE hole in the floor and water to toilet shut off.
- Logan's room still a swamp, his things are now all over the house. Awesome. We are in the middle of moving them to the upstairs guest room, aka, Logan's new room.
- TV room - pulled up carpet, entertainment center in pieces.. Yes... it is a mess. really...

And the leak is still there.... They are now thinking that they are going to have discontinue one line altogether and reroute it to another line. Wow, that sounds crazy, huh? Well, it is worse than I thought. Meaning tearing up another wall and the kitchen. Oh the joys of indoor plumbing!!! It does give you an appreciation, though, of the inner workings of the house and what has been carefully placed beneath the ground and how important they are to your family's 'life style'...

What I am grateful for: 2 bathrooms upstairs, a place to move Logan too, and currently that we are renting... This is not going to be cheap to fix... :(

In other news:
Kayla is driving. Yes, Driving, like by herself, which equals the prayer tally in the Haser house has gone up significantly since Sept. 28th (the day she officially got her license).
Logan is in Cross country and is an awesome runner. Todd and I have thoroughly enjoyed being able to attend his meets. He is a motivation to us!
Krystin is our 'Goodwill' ambassador and is undertaking the daunting task of making 1000 cranes (paper that is) to send to an injured teen. You know to grant him a wish. Her sister and brother have been graciously helping her without complaint! (:
Tamara is apparently VERY allergic to antibacterial soap... Yes, how can that be?! That is the mystery that is currently trying to be solved in the Haser house, and a blog for another day.
Todd is absolutely adorable. Really. I know I might have a 'slight' biased opinion, but it's true and you know it!

Well, better go finish moving more Logan's stuff upstairs. (:

My mischevious little Puppy...

Yes, my Lily is adorable!

You see the look on her little dog mug??? It is the look that says - "What Mom, I didn't just chew up the cord that gives wireless internet to the entire house???"

Lily has taken it upon herself to free us our 'addiction' to electronic devices.

In the last few weeks: She has helped free us of internet twice. Chewed through the power cord for my lap top, and the cord that allows me to download pics from my camera....

Little turkey butt can do this in seconds flat. She will be sitting their pretending to chew on a chew and then with in seconds - cord is gone. Currently, we are trying to help her work through her 'issues' with electronics. I have a feeling it is going to take some time though.

Hopefully, I will be able to download pics soon. I do have quite a few. 'Til then!
