Nathan's Dad sent this to us and I couldn't believe how accurately this comic strip described my husband. I think the author spys on him or something.

See in the one above: the dad is really ME!

Again the Dad is me.

NO, I am not the Dad in this one. I think this might be him and his Dad. This was Nate's Favorite.

B-days

William and Richard have over the past few months become a bit obsessed with trains. Especially Richard. And especially with Thomas and friends!

William turned 4 Nov 1st and Richard 2 Nov 5th. Since there birthdays are so close together and they both are wildly crazy over Thomas, we decided to have a joint party. The theme Thomas of cours! Since it was there Party we decided to just invite the people they know the best... Family!

Here's some pics of it! Boy have they just gone wild with the trains!!! They where so excited!

Nate and I made the cake..lol

Isnt it cute! :)

Farmington Renaissance Fair

Swords, knights, Lady's in waiting, kings, Queens, dragons, and castles....

Are but a few thoughts we had when we herd about a Renaissance Fest.

Nathan and I love this time period. Nathan loves it for the jousting, folk lore and noble knights. Me, I love it for the clothes, music, and architecture! So of course we were going to dress up and and go!

And I am so glad we did. We went to several of these in Europe and loved them.. But of course that was in Europe where the setting couldn't be better... Right on Castle grounds! So we weren't expecting to much being here in the US, and in the desert of all places.

We were wrong though! The local SCA did a fantastic job, as well as the Farmington Museum! The booths and entertainment fit perfectly with the time period! And I loved how so many dressed from the different era's. It was almost like being in Europe. Can't say it was as good as the ones in Europe.. you really can't beat the settings there.

Well While we were there, I decided to pay a visit to the local Gypsy, very educational. (lol, I don't believe in this stuff, but it was fun, and yes very sacrilegious (bad me)) She did one tarot card for me.... It was a Naked lady! ( I was like- okay, and what is this suppose to mean? (I need to get naked more, lol)) She informed me that this meant that me or my spouse (Nathan) have some kind of addiction. And that we need to stop it, for it is ruining one of our bodies and causing contention in our marriage. (lol)

My good ol' pal Amber went with me, and get this, Amber pulled a Angel card out of the deck, and the same Gypsy told her that Angels where guiding her and her husband in their marriage and as long as they listen to them, they will live happily ever after..
So I get naked people and contention, while Amber gets Angels and happily ever afters.

lol!!!
