December almost gone?? Really. Christmas around the corner?? WOW

Where has this December gone? I know I have been slacking in posting this month. We have been busy with school, school functions, going to Ely to see Dave, and the minesite. (Ugh....and I had some neat pictures of the haul trucks, and my camera went nuts. So they are gone. Sad.) Jobs have kept us busy too. You know it can get kindof difficult when you work EARLY mornings, and your hubby goes in at 8 or 9 at night for at least 10 hours, and he's getting off work when you have either just gotten up or are already working for about an hour. The phone call "schedule" can get kindof hectic. LOL. But we are working with it.

Boy it doesn't really "feel" like Christmas. Yeah the songs are on the radio, tv. Yes the decorations are up. Yes some presents are out. Stockings will be up. But it still just doesn't "feel" like it's Christmas time. Well I just had to "vent". MaybeI will get some pictures taken of the tree. Might even try getting some taken of the Christmas lights around town. Maybe that will help make it feel like Christmas.

T.V. and Pumpkin Shooting! Fun, fun, fun!!

This is before we took out our "rage" on the t.v. It quit working last Monday. That's kind of a good thing and a bad thing. Bad thing it went out, now we have to get a new t.v. Good thing is that we won't have to worry about moving in when we move. This bugger was HEAVY. Yes I said "was", when you get to the last pictures you will see why it isn't so heavy any more.

This is about how far away the shooting tables were from the t.v. They have made the shooting area in Panaca so nice now. Oh and yes we cleaned up our mess when we were done.

This was after I took my shots at the t.v. I got to go first because I was the one home when the crazy thing decided it wasn't going to turn on anymore. UGH!

Destiny took this of me shooting. I didn't know she had done this until I got home and was going to post the pictures.

Another picture of me shooting.

This is a close up of the pumpkins and half the t.v. before the shooting began.

Full view of t.v. and pumpkins before shooting.

After my shots. Yo can see the crack in the screen from corner to corner.

After Mike's shots to the t.v. We three got 10 each, then Dave shot it with the 12 gauge. Then it was free for all at the t.v. and pumpkins.

My one shot that went through.

Somehow a 22 bullet went between the two pumpkins and did what you see in the above pictre.

Small hole to the bottom left of the mouth.

Ddestiny looking at the back of the t.v. after her shots.

She made it drop some glass.

I wonder is this the part that stopped the silly t.v. from turning on????

Some grated pumpkins.

Big hole now. Now the thing definately isn't turning on. lol.

This was after a 12 gauge shot.

Dave going to shoot it with the shot gun.

Before he shot the pumpkin with the shot gun.

Destiny checking out the back of the t.v. and pumpkins.

That dark gray sortof rectangle in the middle of the picture is a shot to see how thick t.v. glass really is. Now you know one reason why this thing was so darn heavy.

Dave firing some last shot gun shots at it before we cleaned up our mess, took the t.v. to the dump, and went home.

Close up look at the t.v. screen and through the screen when we were all done.

Close up of the mess.

Some last and final pictures of blowing up the t.v. and pumpkins. Finally knocked them off the top of the t.v.

Look at that. Mike put the pumpkin on the right back on the t.v. after Dave shot it.

Mike putting the pumpkin on the t.v.

You can see through it even from behind. lol.

Halloween 2010

Destiny is a Hippie, Michael is Jack the Pumpkin King!

Austin

Austin was chasing Ms. Kitty around to give her a hug. She ran up on the top bunk thinking she was safe. WRONG! He followed her up there, but she jumped off. So then he was a monkey jumping on the bed.

Cousins!

Destiny, Michael, and little Austin having a ball playing at Pioneer Park. He is such a cutie!!

Labor Day with the Family

Below you will find pictures of the Labor Day Parade in Pioche, Nevada. We were about in the middle of town by the Overland Hotel. Stephen, Stacia and their girls were there. Kenzee had a blast running out for candy. Baby Sydnee must have enjoyed the parade to she was so good and quiet. It was nice to spend time with the girls. Of course when Emmy came in the house she remembered that she calls Dave "Aunt David", and me she called "Uncle Kristi" Silly girl. The parade was nice. Stacia told us the girls get more candy at the parades here in Lincoln County then they do in St. George. Well enjoy the pictures.

Labor Day Parade Pictures!

Michael goofing off before the start of the parade. He wanted me to take this picture. I then had to promptly tell him not to do it again, as his little cousins were watching and I didn't need them to think this was ok.

Destiny is all the way on the right, which actually is the middle of the picture. She's still playing the flute.

Michael, Emmy, Lex, and Rylee running out to pick up candy. Not too many kids where we were at, so I think the big kids each filled a gallon zip lock bag with candy.
This is the Donohue election float.
The Lincoln County High School Cheerleaders. They even stopped and sort of danced on the way down the hill.
There is Destiny way over infront of the rear tire of that car in the picture. They just finished playing their song. The songs they played were Jeremiah was a Bullfrog, Riffs, and the school song.

Michael,Kenzee, Emmy, Rylee, and Lex grabbing all the good candy. mmmmm!!

Kenzee with candy. Lex looking at the Betsy Ross & our Flag Float. This was a neat float. There was another neat flag float too.
