Happy Halloween...Moo!

Happy Halloween everyone! Hope everyone had fun. Our Halloween was quite quiet. No trick-or-treaters out here in Idaho. Normally, at home, Raja gets dressed up and goes up to Grandma's. I really missed it this year. :( But Raja still got dressed up! (Did you really think she wouldn't?!)


Happy Halloween from Raja the moo cow! "Please send bacon!" She's the cutest little moo cow in Idaho....and there's a lot of cows in Idaho!


Nessie was wondering what the heck Raja was wearing.

This picture was taken about 2 seconds away from Nessie getting cat slapped. Haha!
So we decided to try Nessie in the cow outfit....this did not go well...


As you can see...


"I'm gonna bite this thing, so they can't put it back on me!"


Raja posing in her bat collar. She's such a little princess!!

"I'm a scary halloween cat! Hiss!"

Nessie, actually caught in mid-yawn. I guess she's all Halloween-ed out!

Happy Halloween...almost!

Jed bought me this sign for our front door...we now officially have 2 Halloween decorations!


Halloween cookies! I made 5 1/2 dozen of these and sent some to work with Jed. That's how I make friends....through their bellies! :)

Raja liked the cookies too! (mostly just the frosting!)

We finally got to carve pumpkins tonight! This pumpkin is a New York pumpkin!! :) It was one thing I made sure we saved room for to bring out to Idaho!


Yum! Pumpkin guts! (Notice that I am not wearing gloves...Jeff! haha!)


Jed carving his pumpkin. He said the last time he carved he was 8!


Concentrating very hard! I think I'll pick an easier one next year! Ugh!

Jed is almost done....and very excited!


Balancing a pumpkin top on my head AND carving...I am good! (not really, Jed was having fun making a fool out of me while I tried to finish! haha!)

FINISHED at last! Guess which one is mine?!


These were a lot of work! But I think they turned out quite well!

We attempted a family photo. (minus the cats, we didn't want any blood loss!) It didn't go so well....

Yea, we gave up...thanks Izzy! :)

Lap dog?

Yea, yea she's cute. I might like her a little! :) This is the Izzy that I love! This is Izzy that goes to work allllllll day with her dad and can barely lift her head when she gets home! Ahh! So nice!



Izzy's dad was a little tired too! (He woke up seconds after this when I tried to take the remote.)

To post or not to post?

I was hesitant to post these next few pictures, but figured maybe someone reading this might need a good laugh. A couple nights ago, Jed and I apparently got bored (and extremely tired) and he took some flattering pictures of me and I of him. Enjoy and if it makes you laugh like it did us when we were taking them, then mission accomplished!










Izzy got in on it too!


After we saw these we were both laughing so hard we were crying. We really needed sleep! I guess this is what you do in Idaho when you are bored! HAHA!

Package from Mommy & Daddy

Yesterday, we got a package from mom and dad. When I opened it, my nostrils were filled with the familiar smell of NEW YORK LEAVES!!! Yum! I've never been so happy to see crispy dried leaves!

Izzy got some treats...and

A a squeaky football that she hasn't put down yet. Jed loves the squeaky sound it makes!

"Can I please have it?"

"Did we get anything?"

"These are mine and if you get any puppy drool on them, I'm gonna cat slap you!"

Raja can threaten without even saying a word.

Raja is checking out the rest of the loot. Along with the animals' presents, we got some Thanksgiving/fall decorations, some placemats, some Halloween candy, pumpkin carver, and a turkey feather from Aunt Joan's turkey that she got in our backyard! I told Mom she could send a package every month. :)


Nessie loved the dog treats!



Izzy was less than thrilled about sharing her treats. However, this is the closest Izz and Ness have been without any cat slapping and hissing going on.

Jed teasing Izzers.

Raja talking to Gramma on the phone...seriously haha. "Thank you Gwammy! Next time send bacon!"


Thanks Mom and Dad, love you

A difference of opinion

This is what happens when Jed decorates....he puts up all his trophies on the fireplace. Needless to say, this has changed. :) (We'll put them in Jed's office...)

A Good Day!

Yes, that is a laundry basket on my head. It's on my head because it's EMPTY!!!! This is something I never thought I would see. Working on a farm, Jed makes more laundry than I've ever seen!!! (This is not the only laundry basket we have. I emptied all of them, but could not put 3 on my head. Haha!) I was also pretty thrilled that I actually made the right proportions for dinner tonight. I have been making enough to feed the army! I didn't take any pictures, but we had glazed kielbasa and stovies! Yum!

Looks like Raja had a rough day though! :)

And of course Mr. Bo!

Even though Mr. Bo loves his dad, (yes dad, just admit it!) we were pretty good buds and I miss his girlish meow before I'd give him his triangles and ice water before bed, him plowing you over if you tried to go outdoors without him, and his stinky butt! haha! He's such a bubby!


He loved to camp out in his tent! (as long as it was close to his food bowl!)

Joey last fall....pretty leaves!!! :)

It's a tough life but someone's gotta do it!


Love you Joey, see you soon!

I miss Sissy....lots!

Mya Bea was like a little mommy. She always took care of me! If I was sad or sick she knew it and always would give me 'mimi hugs' and sit on my lap. I miss her so very much! :( When she was just a little squirt I would sing her to sleep to the tune of "You are my sunshine." It was sooooo hard saying goodbye to her!


We were bestest friends!

Sissy last fall...pretty fall leaves!!!!


One of my favorites! Nessie has her chipmunk stripe!


I love you Sissy! I'll see you soon!
