The color is called Bright Parrot. He is happy with it. At first he had picked out a oranish red color and it was a battle of the wills in Lowe's. Upon a return trip we agreed on the green. I would like to hang up his football pictures but I just keep getting told "They're FINE mom." I don't anticipate them getting hung anytime soon!

Adrian's New Room....Sorry Caitlin!
Now that is official that Caitlin isn't moving back home, and yes I have been hopeful the last two years, Adrian decided to move downstairs to her room. Our Sunday project was to repaint her room and get everything moved.

The Girl in the Tie Dyed Shirt
When Caitlin & I were in Idaho Falls for her bridal shower Simon & Dylan were staying at Mom & Dad's. Dylan could not remember Caitlin's name no matter how many times we told him. He did though remember that she was wearing a tye died shirt as a pajama shirt and so he kept calling her the "The Girl in the Tie-Dyed Shirt". Dylan was looking for Caitlin to come and and jump with him on the trampoline. In the pictures below they were taking a break and from the looks of it deep in conversation.
We couldn't leave Simon out of the picture.
The video above is of our new kitten Roscoe. I am sure most of you have heard about how hard of a time Jake had been having for a while. His poor nose was so gross and was not getting any better. We came home from the wedding to a mess on the floor. He had done this once before while we were on vacation. We aren't sure why because his cat box wasn't overly full. On top of the mess he kept flinging snot rockets and they were getting pretty gross. It was time to make a decision. We had taken him to the vet 8 times in the past 2 years and he just wasn't getting any better. We decided to have him put down. The four of us took him, but Anthony & I sat in the truck crying. It was so hard.
He was 13 1/2 years old and was a great cat for our $20 trial pound cat.
Of course we didn't wait very long to get another cat. We spent most of the day looking for a kitten and found one later that night on Craig's List. His owner's were moving to an apartment where they couldn't have pets and they had just adopted him in June. He is 4 months old and very active. Roscoe and Charlie get along quite well. That first night we weren't so sure how it was going to go, but it only took them a day. Of course Charlie will still start chasing him around the house every now and then .
School is going well so far - only day 4! Adrian already managed to be marked absent in his 3rd period class on the first day of school. I noticed it last night and when I asked him about it he said he went to the wrong class! He was the one who didn't want to walk around and find his classes on registration day. Oh well! He is playing football for the school this year and it has him exhausted & starving. He came home from practice the other day and ate 2 tacos, a full lunch size plate of fettucine, and a ham, pepperoni, & olive sandwich, several glasses of apple juice and then an hour later 1/2 container of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. He did make A team so he is excited about that and his first game is Wednesday.
Anthony is enjoying having some time to himself in the afternoon. He has had about an hour of math homework each day and then spends time playing with Roscoe & Charlie or playing his guitars. Anthony is looking forward to going to Def Leppard on the 17th. He tells us every day how many days are left until the concert. Hopefully their tickets show up soon. We ordered them online while we were in Logan. We hadn't received them yet so I called on them Wednesday night and their records show that they were sent via email and had been printed off. I told her I received an email but it was blank and we hadn't printed any tickets. We are a little nervous now. They are putting new ones in the mail to us so I am hopeful that they will be here tomorrow. Gary thinks someone may have intercepted our email.
Hope everyone has a great 3 day weekend!
