How many days...
Until Christmas? Not sure just know that with the commercials going on and the stores putting it out RIGHT after Halloween not to far off. Actually we are done Christmas shopping except for a few people just have to get it off of layaway pretty quick.
Lets see....Paul has been busy busy teaching the whole county how to use the new accident report forms as well as the new rookies that will be out soon. Maybe they will stick around so that they have more people working on the different shifts. He went out hunting Saturday night and shot a bobcat that was stalking him and the cat that followed him to the deer stand and actually stayed up there with him..Figure that he will do some more hunting this weekend.
Andrew is feeling better after whatever it was he had last weekend. Going crazy wanting to know how much longer till Christmas and then telling you that AFTER Thanksgiving is Christmas. He and I have been figure out what exactly we are going to do with the Christmas tree this year to keep the little "she devil, bull in china cabinet" from breaking things or pulling the thing down.
As for the "she devil" she is busy breaking things, dragging things out and just being PURE evil. Not really sure where she gets it, any ideas??? She is talking and jabbering more and more and her biting has calmed down a little now she has learned to pinch and hit harder, big brother watch out.
For me just going and going never a dull moment around work or our house..
We are going to Granparents Blankinship's on Thursday at noon and then to Great Granma's at 5. Then we are going to relax and not eat all day Friday. Right I can hear my dad now, your kids not eat that is a laugh..Paul is off Thursday and Friday we are excited. And he has put in for the week of Christmas off but that is still up in the air. We hope for that as well..
Last night we went to Shawnee and ate dinner with mom and dad for their 34 Anniversary at Red Lobster..We missed Jake and Trish, Jake was working. Jon, Randi, Kaitlyn and even Dylan were there along with Phil, Tammy and Austyn. It was a good time..Mom got new furniture and I asked dad if it was black and he said due to my kids they ordered black..If you have not heard Madison has a way of getting into things and messing them up or breaking them. You can ask my dad about his laptop, my friend Tawnie about a dish and Andrew and I about a Galleo Thermometer the other night. But with that smile you get over it as fast as it broke..Guess I need to start carrying super glue around in her diaper bag as well as back up disk for computers :)
Jake is back home with us in Stillwater, he got a new welding job at Goober and also a house across the road from Great Granma at Dr. Shultz's farm. We are glad he is back and he is too...
On the 29th of this month their will be a new addition to the Moffat Grandkids, Dylan Scott is due to be born in Ada. I think the kids and I are going to go down for that hoping to see that little munchkin. I know that his mommy and daddy are ready to see him..
Other then that don't know much more sure that I have forgotten something so will reread this and then see what I forgot..
Until next time...

This is for all you new mothers and ones that have not let your kids try MOON PIES. A word to the wise, do not let them have them in the back of the car on the way home from school with a 5 year old who can see her in her seat behind you...This is cleaner then she was all you could see was the whites of her eyes and her teeth..She was excited about this..Thanks to the daycare and this Friday treat...
Okay now if you can't see what is wrong then you are blind. I walked out this morning to check on the goats and this is what I saw our yello tom cat riding the back of one of our nanny's. I appeared to me that he had been sleeping on her through the night and just decided to stay up there. And he did just that as she walked around to eat and drink. They guys could not believe it so that is why took this picture. Believe it or Not...

Our Busy Family
Lets see Paul and I took a little trip with some couples from the PD to Eureka Springs. It was a short getaway trip. We had a great time this was our first time to go there and we loved it. I got to ride on a Harley and that was fun. We cooked out and toured downtown. The first night we got there we watched lightening strike the middle of the lake on the water for about 3 seconds and of course no one had a camera handy..We stayed in a nice place out the window we could see the lake and was gorgeous. Thanks Hootens for inviting us we had a blast...Thanks mom and dad for watching our two hellans..
The kiddos are doing great!!!!! They both get that wonderful flu shot on Saturday.
Andrew really loves kindergarten he still calls it PreK. He likes his teacher and has some of the same kids in his class that he had in prek. He has started spelling short words and also sounded out words and wanting me to help him to read books. He has been well thus far which is great..He is really into computer games and get around on the internet too good for mom and dad right now. He is still doing karate and liking more and more. He asks everyday when he will be playing tball and we tell him next summer and he gets upset. It is really sad when you 5 year old will not play catch with you b/c you aren't as good as daddy and then when that same 5 year old can out throw you (infront of the softball team) kinda is embarrassing ya know. He has started singing along with the radio and cds now where before he would not sing and would not let you sing. The cd that have listened to for the past 3 months, you guessed it Uncle Jake and he has his favorite song and sings it over and over. Funny when I carried him we went and listened to Jake sing and from that moment on we could calm him down with Jake's songs and now he wants to listen and sing them non stop...And this may jenx me but we have no problems where we have been called to the principal's office this year thus far..Yeah Andrew..We have parent teacher conferences next week will let you know how that goes..
Madison is growing and growing. She was at the doctor a couple of weeks ago for another sinus infection. She gets those when she cuts teeth. Other then that she is on the go non stop. She is saying more and more words. Her new thing is "where's my mommy" and then she tells you that "he be back" when you talk about daddy. She is smarter then he would like sometimes. She gives her big brother so much trouble that we set back and laugh and tell Andrew you get what you deserve from pestering her. I have never seen a child refuse to say "Please" but she absolutely refuses to say it and will dance around, throw a fit and all of the below to not say please. Hard to believe that she is almost 2. She is the most hard headed independent child I have ever seen. You know you always hear that one child is different from the others, we have decided that is very true. Along with deciding that you pay for the hell you put your parents through in your own chilhood...So so true :)And as for this little monster, lets just say that most the time when I pick her up from daycare is in "baby jail" the playpen b/c she has either bitten or beat the heck out of the some little girl or little boy...Told her she better learn what those bars are for and remember them, hehehe She has beaten up a set of twin boys, a girl that was a year older and a little boy that was a year older as well..OMG am I in for a long haul with this one, or should I say her daddy is b/c she has him wrapped tight on that little finger....
Paul has been busy with work and softball. He is getting ready to go to a class next month for motorcycle accident reconstruction. He also got his second set of strips a couple months back. He got a great evaluation this month and qualified for the good bonus. I am very very proud of him..He hit a huge homerun last week at our game at the very end of the game when way over the fence into the parking lot, we still lost but made him feel GREAT. That has been his aim to hit a homerun over and out of the park..This makes 1 per year, not too bad for softball. He has been busy with the goats and our place. He is also filling in for people on a volleyball team that the PD has. He is due to play in the firefighters/police softball game fundraiser sometime soon.
I have stayed busy busy busy at my job..This new job is a lot more work and I love it. I just got back a couple of week ago from a conference for the Distributors that I am in charge of. I got to put faces with names and meet some of them. We had some from Canada, NM, UT, IN, CT, OK, TN, MN, OH, OR, KS and CA. Thanks mom and dad for helping with the kiddos, I even heard that Granpa changed a couple diapers which mom said he never did when I was her age.. hehe I have been playing softball as well and having an okay year. I actually hit all three times I got up to the plate in last weeks game, which for me is a record and got on base as well. We have one more game next week and then we are done for this year. I am not sure if we are playing or not next year will wait and see. I stay busy with the kiddos there is no slowing/sitting down with Maddie and that is okay. I have started back working out for the past 2 1/2 months and feeling great and it is showing, or at least I can tell -13 pounds and dropped 4 sizes...That is my little free 28 minutes at night after the kiddos have gone to bed...
Well I think that is about it for now. I am sure I have forgotten something so if so I will add it next time. And I need to get some more pictures on here..Not sure I have anymore recent ones hard to capture a moving subject you can tell that from Granpa's pics of Maddie..It is also hard to get on the computer at my house, between the 5 year old and the 35 year old gamers and then the 1 year old that thinks she is big enough to be up there when I am..There are very few weekends that we are home at our house, between running errands that don't get done during the week or spending time with our friends in Chandler or our other friends the Hooten's and Gilman's we are very rarely home..Sometimes nice but bad when the oldest cries when I pick him up from daycare and he wants to know where we are going and I say home and starts crying to go else where..But just going to get busier with his tball and then if we decide to enroll Maddie into anything, I should say if they allow her to participate in anything without beating/biting the older kids..
We are all getting excited about the new arrival that will be here next month, my new nephew Dylan Scott..I took off the day (November 29) Randi has her c section so that I can be there for him since we missed Kaitlyn getting here..Speaking of Kaitlyn we are heading to her big 2nd bday party at her house on Roff on Saturday...
Until next time...
