High fashion

Now who wouldn't love to take this sweet little animal home with them?? While on our trip to jackson, the coonskin caps were a big hit with the Bros. CHad is starting to think that the oakley sunglasses that I bought in Hong Kong are not real. I keep telling him he is nuts...of course they are real, just look at the great quality...I mean who would believe that these are fakes?? Chad thinks that because they say "Oakey" on them that could be a read flag that we wasted our four dollars. I told him that is probably how you say Oakley in Hong Kongese. Although I am starting to have my doubts about the coonskin cap, I am really starting to wonder if it might be a fake. It says made in china on the tag, and it didn't come with a dust bag does that mean it is a fake. IS ANY ONE OUT THERE AN EXPERT ON COONSKIN CAPS??? If so I would love to get your opinion......and are racoons really from china?

CAsEy JOnes





WEll, after the mud nome left Casey Jones graced us w/ his presence, right before he made a break for it for freedom. We do believe in freedom of expression at our house and our children have a way of taking it literally......Chad and I are both really proud that in this picture Casey Jones is wearing a diaper. Casey has many names that he responds to, or should I say more often than not doesn't respond to. These names include Casey Jones, Tanner Man, T.J, Baby, Chubber Anne, Bubba Boy, Bubber Anne and The Destroyer (the last one is used the most because it is true to form). I love that in this picture he dressed himself head to toe even down to the mismatched shoes. He was sure he was on his way to school, or to do some other really important and pressing business such as breaking his record of how many c.d's he can jam into the c.d player or, how to figure out how to flush a diaper down the toilet, rearranging the flour......it is a lot easier to find when it is outside of the canister, etc. etc. The life of a two can be so busy and Casey Jones' work is never done.

Look what the cat dragged in












Look What showed up on the back porch!! We are not sure where he came from or what his name is, but if any of you can identify this little mud nome, please contact Chad or Kelli.

This past Labor Day we took the boys to Jackson's Hole (Zach's name for Jackson hole) and Yellystone. It was such a great t]rip!! On friday night we camped @ wolf creek in Alpine canyon. It was a great spot right next to a wild blueberry bush -Tanner's favorite snack. On Saturday Chad and the boys ran the river, we then camped in Gros Ventre, we had some "do not approach the wildlife" moments w/ buffalo. Sunday we spent the day tracking bear and hotpots!! The bros' loved yellowstone they thougth it was the coolest place on the planet.......next to maui. How fun it was to see the park through the eyes of a child................or should say...four childs!!!
