Weird Story

The afternoon we were sitting in the front room and heard a loud noise. It almost sounded like a car back-firing. We looked outside and couldn't see anything wrong. Later my brother came over and mentioned something about left over decoration outside and a bird. So apparently that noise was a bird that was zooming along and hit out window. Enough that it took the bird out. Kind of sad and really crazy. Birds hit our windows all the time, but never like this. 

Rainbow Puppies

Yet another day where the dogs get to sleep all day, warm and comfy, and I have to watch them while I work. 

Emery had a friend over the other day. She got some cheap tattoos and put them all over. A few times she forgot they were on her face and almost went out with them on. Rainbow Unicorns don't really scream tough face tatts. 

Fancy Monopoly

Beckham saw a video of some friends getting together, dressing up, having a fancy set up and playing monopoly. So what better thing to do Saturday evening than have a fancy game with your cousins and friend. 

The dressed up, Zander and Cameron went for fancy, Cam and Beck went for chest showing sexy. These boys will never be able to make fun a any girls who take pictures, they had a photo shoot as well. 

Made manly by the weight bench.

They even went to a few stores looking fancy. 

The set up at Paul's house. 

Beckham and Payton tied. They shook on it. Beck said it would have just gone on for an hour longer, which no one wanted. I love to see them doing fun things like this and hope they keep it up. 

Cat and Dogs and Heights

To say these mutts are spoiled is putting it lightly. They spend all day on our bed in blankets, then all night on the kids bed. They would not know what to do if Brad and I didn't work from home and they were in their kennel all day. 

We thought Luna left her bone is Becks room. Beck goes to bed earlier than anyone else and I was not opening it just for a bone. If you look more behind her, there is Eevee. She's is missing a bone; Eevee has it and Luna can't take it. They wont eat the bone we give them, they only want to eat the bone that the other wants.... dogs are not far from toddlers. 

Cold weather means cold Eevee. She sits right next to the vents to get warm. She, however does not like the air hitting her ears, so she is constantly shaking her head. 

Eevee thought she found a new favorite spot to sit, Brad did not enjoy it though. Luna saw her on Brad's shoulder and was very annoyed. Annoyed Eevee was that close to someone and Luna was not, and that sitting there was an option she never thought of. Maybe she didn't think that, but she would not stop looking at me.

The other night the dogs start to freak out barking. I thought Cam got Doordash, but they were not stopping. I go downstairs to see the issue. Asked Camden what was wrong and he said there is a cat in the house. We don't own a cat. I wished I had my phone with me. There was a cat on my piano. Cam got the dogs in the laundry room, and after the cat ran upstairs, we did get him outside. It was nice, it did have a collar. We got him out the front door then I ran to the garage door to see if that was open. The garage door was opened all the way. But to make it easier for the cat, the door from out house to the garage does not close all the way, it just pushed open. So the cat just walked right in and gave the dogs a big surprise. 

I do not like heights in the least, even just getting on a ladder. Camden does not mind, as you could see from a post or so ago. These lights have been out for at least 6 months. We just don't use them a lot and were too lazy. I could not make myself climb that high on an 8 ft ladder.

Camden

A couple weeks ago ISU did a health fair night at the campus they have here. It was fun to see all the different directions you can go there. It gave Cam some to think about, if he wants to go there or U of U before he goes to get his doctorate. 

One section was pharmacy. You could crush medicine to make capsules. His medication was smarties, but it was still interesting to find out and see different aspects that pharmacy does. 

His med, which we couldn't take because it wasn't actually okay to take smarties capsules. 

There was a brain room,

And a skull room. You had to put the bones back together. He did pretty good, with some video help. 

Cam is still learning to drive. He's doing better but looses concentration quick or things distract him, like music. I joked one day going home from shopping he can back in like dad. He thought he'd try and started to pull up to the driveway weird. I stopped him and said just to do it normal. So he was at a weird angle and Brad's car was a little farther over than normal. Not paying full attention to the passenger side he hit the side of the garage. It was more he drove very very close to the side. I had him park and get out and I fixed it. We could just buff it out, and really no harm was done, but still a little annoying. 

Could have been much worse. He didn't hit any of the metal for the door. 

Halloween

It's nice that all the kids are at the age they can paint or carve by themselves. I don't know why, I hate doing pumpkins, but it's kind of tradition. 

Camden really go into it. 

Jacks Megamind. Brad Meme.

Beck's says c bum, he's a health guy he follows. Beck cared the lest.

Mine. The circles were supposed to glow, I'm not sure if they did. 

Both are Emery's, one she did at YW. 

Funny to see what traits come across in kids. My Grandpa Nickels concentrated with his tongue.  So does my brother Scott, I do at times. and we have video of Beck. I guess Cam is the next one. 

The boys and cousins went to a dance. This is their attempt at a pyramid, safe to say none will be cheerleaders. 

Cam was Jack from AJR and Beck just used an old bear costume. 

Emery went to Haunted World with her friend Jenna a few nights before Halloween. She was scared and LOVED/hated it. 

Halloween night she went trick r treating with her friend Kylee.

Jacks walked around the neighborhood with his friend Luke. I love that they were both just food. 

We had a decent amount of kids stop by and all the kids had fun doing their own things. It's kind of nice when you no longer have to walk around in the cold getting candy.
