We had a visitor...

First of all let me just say that this little thing looks cute in this picture but not so much when it's running around your house!  Yesterday morning I was sitting in my living room and saw something out of the corner of my eye run across the floor.  I thought maybe it was a big bug and then I saw it again and realized it was one of these beauties.  Of couse it led to me screaming for Raymond to come help...but it had already ran under my oven and we couldn't get it out.  So we went to Walmart and bought a bunch of traps and set them up around the house.  I was so bummed this morning when I woke up and we didn't catch it.  But tonight when we got home it ran into our living room behind our TV.  Raymond being the manly man he is got some gloves on thinking he was going to catch it with his hands (I don't think he realizes how fast they are but I wasn't going to tell him because I was having fun watching him try!)  He was trying to get behind the couch and was all over the place...but me being the ingenious person I am put a barricade in front of the hall going to our kitchen with a little place to run through that had a sticky trap and just like that he was caught! I was pretty proud of myself and I can finally go to sleep tonight without worrying about our little mouse! Hopefully it was the last...but we left the other traps up still just in case....our neighbors have had 3 in the last few weeks! Just thought we'd share our fun experience! Hope you all are great! :)

The Birthday Month!

September is a BUSY birthday month in our family! My sister Kelsey, two sister in laws...Aimee and Mary Kate, my Dad, our niece Emmie, our nephews Trenton & George, my birthday...not to mention I have a lot of friends whose birthdaya are in September, and two of my best friends just had baby girls!  CONGRATS to Leigh and Jillyn!
SO instead of making a bunch of Birthday posts I decided to do it all at once!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We love you guys!  My baby sis Kelsey turned 16 this year so it was a big one for her!   All my siblings and I went down to Cedar to surprise her! It was so much fun! Minus the fact that Raymond couldn't be there...
When we got there she was upstairs and my dad was telling her to come and help him with something...of couse she wasn't too excited to come help but when she came down and saw us she ran over to Brit and gave her a huge hug...then she saw Ryan and I and started crying saying "What are you doing here? How did you get here?"  It was so worth it to go see her for the weekend...I think she's a little lonely being the only one at home now. :) But she had a big Sweet 16 party that night with one of her friends who had just turned 16 too...there were 70 kids in our backyard so it was a crazy night but so much fun! We didn't take too many pictures on my camera but here are a few! Love you sister!!!

Ryan, Aimee, and my mom...we weren't allowed to stay long at the party! :)

WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
