My 365...
It was a perfect day for carving pumpkins. :)
Casey going all commando on his pumpkin.
Finished Blake and mama pumpkin.
Casey's awesome "Stalker" pumpkin.

Here are the pumpkins created by Brandon, Amber and Amber's family this evening. They are so cool!

For dinner I made some home made beans and chicken flautas. There was not enough pumpkin meat in the pumpkins to make the empanadas tonight, so I will have to buy some canned pumpkin tomorrow and make them after my visit to the Idaho State Penitentiary.
I am so excited about that outing!

Happy Friday! Any weekend plans? If it is up to me, I will have about a dozen. :)
See? I really have changed. Before last week I would have been happy with a weekend of a whole lot of nothing. Not any more. I want adventure, and I want it with my favorite humans in the world...my boys.
This evening we went hiking close to Garrett's house at a park called Camel's Back. It is a little farther than the one we have been going to, but I think it was worth the bit of extra effort. The park is about 2 miles from home.
Either tomorrow or Sunday I really want to go to the Idaho State Penitentiary. It is now a historical property, and from what I hear, very haunted! I do not want to go to experience the paranormal, I want to go because I think it would be a great place to take pictures. I love history and old structures. Garrett said he would take me, so it will be a nice outing with my son and his honey.
I would also like to drive up the street to the ski resort on the top of the hill, Bogus Basin. The base of the mountain is only a few blocks away, but the drive up can be a nail biter. Well not so much the drive up...but the drive down. It is so beautiful up there, and I have not been in a few years. I would like to drive up before the snows come. After that I would be way too scared! So hopefully this weekend or one day during the week we can go.
There are so many awesome things to do in this city. Beautiful places to see, great history to experience. All one has to do is look.
The only other plans for the weekend are pumpkin carving, good movies, walking adventures, baking some pumpkin seeds and making some pineapple/pumpkin empanadas just like mom used to make, and lots of "mama-razzi" time. It should be a GREAT weekend!
Hope yours is too.

Let's go mama.
My gorgeous son Case. <3
Giving mom a heart attack.
State Capital
Rest spot fit for a queen? lol :)
My babies. :)
Daddy.
Mama trying not to roll down the hill.
An unidentified creature we spotted on the way down. Eeew! It was huge!
...then came back up for mama. :)
By the time I got to the bottom I had a little of the hill stuck in my shoe.
All that family fun right in our back yard, and it did not cost a dime.
Music I am listening to today...Chad Kroeger and Carlos Santana
I love this song...

Until next time..."This is a BULLSHIT free zone. We do not apologize for any inconvenience!"
Have a great weekend!

My 365...
Good day today! I had a nice afternoon with Jack and Blake. Casey had not been feeling well, so he stayed home. I had some doctor's visits, then we tried out a new Chinese Buffet in town.
The doctors say I am doing great, and I have to agree. I was telling my Rheumatologist that I have not felt this good in years! She said many of her patients around the age of 50 report a new found energy because they stop caring so much about the little things.
I have learned to let go of a lot of garbage that bothers me. I have not become a complete pushover like I used to be, over worrying about my children and their lives. If I don't like something or someone, I don't fuss about it. They simply cease to be a problem for me. Sort of just wiggle my nose and they disappear. Don't step on my toes and I won't step on yours. It really is as easy as that. :)
The exercise has helped too. The more I get out and walk, the more I want to get out and walk, and it feels great. In the process I managed to lose 20 pounds as well, which is always a good thing. It helps to live in a beautiful area with lots of great places to explore too. I keep waiting for the RA hammer to come down on me but so far so good. I can still move, and quite well thank you very much! At this rate I am going to be one hot gramma for Spring. Woot!
Tonight we enjoyed another walk through the hills. It was very chilly, but as long as I kept moving, I did not feel it as much. I love it!
My photos of the day...
Waiting for the doctor is not so boring with a view like this one...
Good yummy "all you can eat" buffet! Jack and the boys love that. Blake and his "rosy" cheeks, just like big brother Garrett. :)
Another adventure through the neighborhood.
