FFA trip to the Zoo

About a month ago the Cuba FFA took a field trip to the zoo.  Jon thought it would be fun for us all to go....he was right.

We saw lots of animals, the weather was perfect!

Elephants

Three monkeys

A lion in the tree

A tradition in St. Louis

We love Taylor

It really was a great day.

I know I am WAY behind in the posting...

Cuba Fest

A few weeks ago we had the annual Cuba Fest here in town.  We did not make it up there on Saturday, but we did go right after church on Sunday.

The Cuba FFA had a petting zoo there.

They had a Karate demonstration, and the girls volunteered.

It was so funny to watch them.

There was also a trolly tour.  This year we went to one of the cemetaries in town and they had people from the community dress up and tell about prominate people were are buried there-very interesting.

We had alot of fun.

(Does anyone know where spell check on blogger now since they have changed the posting format?)

2 field trips

I got to go with Gracie and her class to the pumpkin patch.  It was very cold and wet-yuck!

Gracie and her good friend Sophia.

Grace and Ms. Debbie

I also got to go with Lexi and her class to the Magic House.

Mrs. Herwig and her 1st graders.

They did the Village field trip so we spent the whole time in the Magic House town.

This is for you Aunt Lissa-Lexi the Librarian.

It was great fun to go to both field trips, I am just glad I was able to do both.  It would have been ugly if I did one and not the other.

Stay tuned for more fun from the past month...

My first and maybe only SENIOR pictures-that I took

Don't worry I am totally NOT quiting my day job, but it was a lot of fun to do.

The news on Titus

****UPDATED 11/6/09****

I couldn't do it....We found someone to take him and today was the day.  I called them this morning and told them that I was unable to give him away.  I know I will regret it, especially when Christmas gets here and we have a tree and presents for him to get into, but for now he's still a mess, OUR mess.

Stupid dog.

PS, we are headed to LOWE'S on Sunday afternoon to buy an outside kennel for him to be in during the day.

Cute isn't he?  Do you want him?  That's right he needs a new home.  Last Friday was the last straw.

Yes, that would be our dining room window that is broke thanks to him.  Apparently he was a little over excited when the pizza man came and took a header into the window.  Done.  Most people said they would have been done after THIS, but no not us, we said, "It will get better, he's only a puppy."  Well, I am sure he will get better but he will not be here when he does.

Then on Sunday while we were at church he destroyed his kennel.

He was out of his kennel again which makes time number 4.  I swear that dog has magic powers.

In all seriousness...He is a very sweet dog.  He is good with the kids, house broke (meaning he breaks houses), kennel broke (meaning he breaks kennels), he's fixed, and would make a great addition to any family with a fenced yard and time to play with him--which we have neither.

Totally free with everything "dog" that we have in our house.

Tell, your friends, family, and enemies!!

Halloween 2009

I have been so busy latey, blogging has taken a back seat.

This week I plan to get caught up, so check back often.  Instead of going back I thought I would just start with last night Halloween at the Henley's party.
