Wrastlin'

Here are some shots of Trevin wrestling. Coming from a long and venerable line of wrestling royalty, we knew it was only a matter of time before the boys got into it. Kaydin has been out since first practice (you know, that whole broken arm thing), but Trevin has been going strong. He's won a few, lost a few and even tied one. Mostly he loves when his dad works with him and he is wishing Kaydin's arm would hurry up and heal so he'd have a practice partner. I tell you what, this is a tough sport. Basketball players and football players get all the love, but wrestlers work the hardest!

It's Broken!!

Three weeks ago, at Kaydin's first wrestling practice of the season, they were warming up by walking on their hands. Another wrestler fell onto Kaydin's arm while he was handwalking. It hurt. But you know, he could move it and he didn't cry. He hasn't been able to wrestle because it still hurts. A few days ago we also noticed a bump and weird bend in his arm. We took him in. It's broken. And not just a little broken-awesomely broken. The bump was from all the new bone growing on top of the break. So here is a picture of his new, cool, blue cast which he has to wear for 3 more weeks.

Kellyn is 5!!!

I can't believe it, but it's true-Kellyn turned 5 on Saturday! She is so big! She picked all her favorite foods to eat and went to McDonalds on a date with mom for dinner. Then we came home and had cake and ice cream and opened presents. Here are some fun things about Kellyn: She tells everyone she loves her mom "too much", she is fascinated with math and counting and adding. I think she is going to be a math whiz. She is a good big sister to Ewan, and will always indulge him in his favorite game of "push me all over the house in a laundry basket", she has huge blue eyes, she loves to sing, she makes us smile every day! We love you, Kellyn!

Turkey's on strike

Maryn's class and one of the other 6th grade classes did a program last week about the turkey's going on strike for Thanksgiving. My pictures suck, and I didn't get any video ( I got to the school and discovered the video camera wasn't charged. grrrr), but it was a pretty cute program. She hung her poster on her bedroom wall - "eat fish, not turkey". Hilarious!




Maryn is in the front on the far right

I suck at blogging. I can't get the captions under the pictures the way I want them. Hope you understand.

Halloween and in between

My pumpkin threw up, and Kaydin's was murdered





Rylynn really liked this hairdo and insisted I take a picture of her hotness



Kellyn-REALLY excited to trick-or-treat. It's all about the candy, baby.





Ewan was sick or a while and spent A LOT of time in the tub. He kind of looks like those things on Minority Report




Me and my Kellyn. Twins born 24 years apart.

Kaydin-a cereal killer. Truly frightening




All the Halloween dress-up fun.




It was a really sick pumpkin. Swine flu, I think

Ok, so maybe once a week was a little ambitious. After all, I am a very busy, grown up, important, glamorous person with very busy important things to do. I can't be expected to spend all my free time blogging just to satisfy the insatiable appetite you all have for information about my life and family. We've not been up to much-hard to believe, I know. We are such jet-setting group.

Kaydin and Trevin started their wrestling season. Kaydin got hurt the first practice, so he has been out recovering and has done no actual wrestling. Hopefully he heals soon so they can both continue the Baker Wrestling Dynasty. The kittens should be ready to go and I can't wait. Seriously, never again. They are sweet and cute. And always underfoot and making noise and I am done.

I was able to go have lunch with my lover at his job up in park city. When I toured the house and saw the size of it and the obscene amounts of money being spent on it, I almost vomited up my lunch. Thirty million dollars. Including (but not limited to)a $30,000 faucet carved out of jade, a $100,000 dollar flat screen TV for the master bedroom, the components and wiring of which are all solid gold, a $400,00 theater room-with vibrating chairs, and surround sound, $1 million worth of landscaping rock work, and the piece de resistance- a ski room with hot tub, lockers, showers and lift that comes into the house and takes you up the mountain. Wow, how would it be? But, Joseph loves working on this house. He has learned a lot and gotten some neat ideas for building a house for us. It is really fun work for him.

Halloween this weekend. Mild weather. One thing I don't miss about Montana is Trick-or-Treating in 15 degree weather. The kids had fun. I must explain Tristan's costume. The other's are pretty self-explanatory, but Tristan dud through our costume bin and pretty much put on everything in there. He was a Harry Potter-Human Torch-Power Ranger-Ninja. Awesome.

I hope everyone had a great Halloween and are looking forward to the upcoming holiday season-I know I am!!
