Busy..and tired

Another eventful week in the Gaskey Family book! Here's a quick look...

-Taylor has not slept well since we switched her to whole milk, so we are now trying lactose free milk. I pray that it works cause I NEED SLEEP!!!

-I canceled all of this weeks soccer practices cause I was fed up with no one showing up. So our last game is Saturday and then we are all done..thank god!!

-We are set to move to the ranch November 20th, and then we are having a big Thanksgiving dinner there..hopefully we'll find all the dishes we need! Haha

-I fly out a week from today to sunny and warm Arizona. It's in the mid 80's there right now..be jealous! :)

-My grandparents are here from Arizona right now and today we are all meeting at the ranch to get some lessons on how to run the thing. 37 acres is a lot of land to keep up!

-I am have mid terms next week...arghhh! Cross your fingers I do well!

-Halloween is Sunday. The boys have their outfits..Levi is Iron man and Riley is either Bumble Bee or Optimus Prime. Taylor is going to be a Pumpkin Fairy..so cute!

That's all the news for now..or all that I can think of at this moment. Hope you are all well and have a safe and fun Halloween!

Fall is here!

Wow. We had some crazy weather today! Rain, wind, sunshine and it was really cold. Autumn is officially here! I love it too, I am so ready for cooler weather.

Levi had a soccer game on Saturday and the team played SO good! We only had 5 kids show up (out of 9) and they all played hard the whole game. Its tough playing a 50 minute game with no subs! We have 2 more practices and then our last game is on Saturday October 30th.

We got a new dog on Saturday after the game and he is a fitting in very well. He is a 2 year old pure breed Australian Sheppard. He is almost pure white with super light blue eyes. He is deaf because of his colors, but it doesn't slow him down one bit. He lives for Frisbee and fetch and can jump right around 6 feet in the air to catch his toys..its pretty amazing! The boys are totally in love with him!

Saturday night was girls night and we headed to Eugene for the Olive Garden. It was very yummy and we had a lot of laughs with our drinks and dinner. After dinner we headed to the mall to do some shopping..of course! :) I got a new camo and pink wallet and a few new shirts. We came home at a decent hour like good girls and we're already planning our next night out...tattoos!! :)

I worked today and it was a lazy day for the rest of the family. Tomorrow its back to the grind at school and the truck shop. Hope everyone has a great week!

mellow yellow

Things are starting to mellow out in my life and I very much enjoy that! I have learned how to juggle everything that is going on and how to spread myself among everything and everyone..but while still keeping my sanity! I am starting to change some things at the truck shop that will make my job there SO much easier! Soccer is wrapping up and although its been a challenge dealing with rude parents..overall its been a fun season, Levi has improved his skills and is quite the little soccer player now! He cant wait for next season! I am still at A&W 2 days a week and I secretly enjoy going to work..just to get away and have a little fun with my co-workers. The Ducks play on Thursday this week and its a "yellow out"! You can bet your bottom I will be wearing the brightest yellow I can find! The game is also going to be in 3-D, how cool is that!? Saturday we have a early soccer game (9:30am) and then its family day with Jody and the Breslaw family. Saturday night its girls night and we're heading to Eugene for some Olive Garden! Yum!

My soccer pro!

We had a game tonight and Levi did awesome and scored a goal! :) He is really enjoying playing soccer and we love watching him improve every game!

We didn't win but we don't focus on that..it's just about having fun and learning how to work as a team! :)

Just another chapter to this crazy thing we call life.

So I'm just gonna put this out there right off the bat....WE ARE MOVING AGAIN!! Wow, its a little painful saying that because we have moved and moved and moved again...something like 8 times since we've been married! (We've been married for 8 years) But the most painful thing about this move...is we just moved into this house 2 weeks ago! We are moving to a 37 acre farm out in Pleasant Valley, not too bad huh. We love the house we're in right now but we have family that just bought this ranch and asked us to live there and and care for the ranch until they move up here from out of state. They are "planning" on being here in about a year, which is bitter sweet cause that means we will be moving in another year. But this is my plan...I'm in school right now and should be done in 2 more terms, so about the time they move here, I'll have a new job and hopefully we will be in the position to buy our own house! :)

So enough about that..now about our awesome day. We got up this morning and headed to Monmouth for a pumpkin patch adventure. I found this farm on the Internet, so I was keeping my fingers crossed that it would be fun. It ended up being a blast!! They had slides, and mazes and tractor rides and of course lots and lots of pumpkins! We all picked out a pumpkin to bring home, Taylor got herself a little tiny, adorable one. We took the back roads home and enjoyed all of the beautiful colors of Fall.

We are now all snuggled in the living room watching football and day dreaming about our "new" ranch! :) Time to start looking for more boxes...again!

Fun Weekend Ahead!

Today is Friday! Everyone take a deep breath! Awww! It was another crazy week for the Gaskey clan.
We are officially moved into our new house and done with the old house! We love the area that we moved to. It is so peaceful out here and we have beautiful views. There are always a few deer in our yard in the evenings and we have a huge gray squirrel that steals our pears from the pear tree. Levi has 3 more soccer games and the season is over! (Thank god!) I am trucking along with school, its very challenging this term. But the most exciting news is that we are going to a pumpkin patch tomorrow. I found a really neat one out of town and I think the kids are going to have a blast! I will of course post pics on here of our fun family adventure! 

Everybody yell "Oooooooooo"

How about them there Ducks?! We are kicking ass and taking names!!

GO DUCKS!!!
