Saturday is a special day...

We had a great time together as a family yesterday, Saturday, October 20th. We started out the day with a yummy breakfast of waffles/pancakes prepared by daddy while mommy got to work on her blog. Rick is beginning to think I'm obsessed with this thing which frankly, I think I am too (but I won't admit that to him!). So I hope you all are reading this and looking at it frequently so I can prove to my husband that all the time I spend on it is worth it! :)

Anyhow, we then got ready and drove out to Buckeye where we are building our new home which will be ready in November. On the way out we could see some sort of hullaballoo going on at the brand new Wells Fargo in the same shopping center where Rick's new office is. We saw several white horses and the big Wells Fargo Stagecoach. We continued on out to our home and things are coming along very well. I'm so thankful we've been able to go out and check on things on a weekly basis as there have been a few mess-ups here and there (cable outlets either put in the wrong place or not in any place at all, the kitchen sink, forgetting to add a bedroom upstairs, etc, etc..) Pulte has been very good about fixing things right away though. We are still scheduled to close on the 16th of November- less than 4 weeks now! Yeah!!! Oh, while we were there, RJ found a huge rubberband on the ground. He promptly puts it on his head and says "look mama, I look just like Nephi now." I thought, 'he has been paying attention to his scriptures!'

After we spent some time at the house we decided to stop off at Rick's new office (which is slated to open this coming Wednesday, the 24th) and Wells Fargo. When we got to his office they were working on installing the chairs (which are special chairs made for lefty's) and the place looked like a shambles inside. Everything is brand spankin' new but just needs to be organized. It's a very modern office and it's huge inside! I think they have 12 chairs and an Ortho bay for future purposes. But, they say they'll be ready to go by Wednesday. Rick is really excited about starting out there all on his own. It will be called Sundance Dental Group.

Afterwards we headed to the bank and by this time they had the horses hitched up and they were giving stagecoach rides. The boys were enamored with the horses. Blake would run towards them and then get scared and turn right back and run as fast as he could back to us. They had free hotdogs and hamburgers, chips and drinks, and Bubba got to jump in one of those big castle jumpers. Plus we got a picture with what I thought were the firemen but Rick later pointed out that they were policemen. As you can see, RJ was thrilled about this, Blake was not. Oh well, we tried! It was a great day together. Needless to say, we were all more than ready for naps by the time we got home. The people are so friendly in Buckeye...and I love how it says Town of Buckeye instead of City. I think we're going to be very happy there.

Oh, I forgot to mention, on Friday the 19th, we went to Klorissa's house and made rice krispy treat spiders and Halloween shapes out of playdough for the kids. We always love going over there- her house is always so cozy and it always smells great! Thanks for having us, Klorissa! (For the recipe, see Recipes section at the top).
