Update

So, I left my camera at school on my desk. At least I hope I did because if I left it on the piano it probably has been stolen. If it's on my desk we will be ok because my office is locked up. I'm a little nervous though because I got some really cool pictures. The mashed potato pit actually look like mashed potatoes this year. They looked so gross in that quantity. I can defiently say that I am sick of the smell of potatoes right now. I don't like much of potatoes any way. When I was pregnant with Natalia we made some amazing potato soup and I threw it up for the next couple of hours after I ate and refuse to eat it ever again. I am now on a two week break for Spud Harvest. I am going to be going down to Kuna (next to Boise) on Thursday after my cross country meet. I am so excited to go shopping and just get away from Rigby for a couple of days. I am also excited to get rid of the kittens. Janie, I love them and they are so fun but when Jaden lets them out in the morning they come and jump on my head first thing. Jaden loves them though.
Last saturday I was at spud day and before I left there was this white dog in our yard. When I came home at the end of the day it was still there and Jaden had named it Elsie. We didn't lock it up so I thought for sure it would leave in the night. We woke up on Sunday and it was still at our house. Jaden was so excited. Came back from church and it was laying next to diamond. Stayed all Sunday night and was barking at something. It was a really sweet dog and Jaden really liked it and it really liked Jaden but I just don't need another dog in our house during the winter. One is to many allready. The other problem was that every time a car passed the house it would chase it. It almost got hit a couple of times. So, Monday morning we called the Sherrif and told them we had a stray dog that was really sweet and needed a good home. We don't have a pound here but one of the vet offices has a pet adoption. So the evil compliance officer came to the house and was actually very nice. He took about ten minutes so the dog would warm up to him and so Jaden could say good bye he could tell Jaden was pretty upset that he had to give the dog up. He put the dog in the back of the truck and told Jaden that someone would come and get him and then told me that if it wasn't adopted here in Rigby they would send it up to Jackson to be adopted. It was nice to know that they don't put animals down. When we were looking at dogs we found an older sweet one that loved to go camping but the owner moved into an apartment and needed to get rid of her. She was a pampered pooch. We decided to think it over during the weekend. Well, during the weekend when they are closed and we had decided to adopt her they got to full and older dogs get put down first and she was gone on Monday. I was so sad. That owner loved that dog and had such a hard time letting go of her and then they went and put her down. People fix your darn dogs! Anyway, when they drove off with Elsie, Jaden started crying and was so sad that he couldn't keep her. I told him that she was going to go home to her mommy and daddy and Jaden said, "she told me she wanted to stay here. She said her mommy and daddy are mean to her." She was a little starved looking and that just killed me.
Other than that and my camera missing I haven't done much. Oh, I did freeze about 20 quarts of corn that tyson planted. I didn't do much Christine helped me and did more than I did. We left the rest of the corn for them and when I get back I am going to help them can the rest of it for them.
When I get my camera back, and hopefully I know where it's at I will post the pictures that I promised a couple of weeks ago.
By the way, Natalia Rae Arnold is now Five Months Old! I can't believe it. I don't want her to grow up any more.
