Fun & Games

It's been all fun and games around here lately. Especially if you're not a grown up.

Here's a quick recap of this weeks memorable events:

Headline #1: Tanya Declares Herself Supreme Rule Maker of Blog Posts
Obviously concerned about her public image, Tanya issued an unprecedented ruling after last weeks Magnetic Bed post, hereby banning any future pictures of her sleeping from the Blog.

Therefore, if any photos of Tanya sleeping get posted in the future you can be assured that they must have been photos taken by paparazzi.

Stay tuned for more Blog Posting rules that may follow.

Headline #2: Dog Training Takes A New Twist
After her success at the Skagit County and the Washington State Fair in Puyallup this summer, Mikayla has started expanding her horizons and added an exciting new twist to her dog training program. It turns out that Showmanship, Obedience and Agility just isn't enough to keep Mikayla busy so she's now training Josie to take the place of other animals... and fairy tale characters.

Our cameras were invited to witness this exclusive training program and are glad to provide these never before seen images of Little Red Riding Hood and Mr. Ed:



Headline #3: GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!
Once again the DQ Team put on a fantastic show at their Saturday morning game.

Alexia managed to score her second goal of the season. Unfortunately, the excitement was temporarily abated as she suffered a show-stopping injury a short while later. She managed to walk off the field for a short recovery period with two teammates, and Nurse Josie. This photo was preceded by a brief pep talk: "Stop crying until after I take this picture of you recovering".

After the game we hustled off to Krispy Kreme doughnuts to celebrate Alexia's goal... and her speedy recovery.

Headline #4: Family Fun at Frazier Farm's Pumpkin Patch
After our exciting morning of soccer we made our second annual visit to the pumpkin patch at Frazier Farms. Really, we've been doing this for years, but our 'regular' pumpkin patch is now underneath a Home Depot.

It just wasn't quite the same this year. No one cried. No one got muddy. It was just plain, simple, easy, enjoyable fun.

Hopefully we'll get around to carving our pumpkins some day soon.

Headline #5: Eric's a Lug Head
Tanya called me on Sunday as I was returning from my hike to Mount Baker's Railroad Grade Trail to let me know my car had a flat tire. No big deal - at least it went flat at home instead of 30 miles out in the wilderness.

Once I arrived at home, I was able to quickly switch out the flat tire with the full size spare in the trunk and planned to swing by the tire store during my lunch break on Monday. I've never changed a tire with so little hassle... such a piece of cake.

Unfortunately, the reason it didn't take long to change the tire is because I skipped a step. The step where you tighten the lug nuts. DOH! It's OK though... all is well and I have new tires on the car.
