 Peyton wanted to go for a run Thursday after school, their meet got cancelled due to rain (but will be rescheduled...)  so all 3 of us went, I stayed with Sophie but we made it down to Horsetooth which was the goal and back.  Peyton did really well and I had a lot of fun.  We took Gilda and Scout because Buddy was REALLY sick.  SO that night I was checking on Buddy who had been sick for a day and I took his temp and I was sure I would have to take him in on Friday because he would not even get out of the kennel when I called him, vomiting not eating or drinking, I was with him fro3-3:30am.  Then on Friday when we got up he was seemingly all better and even ate a little.  Then that day I was walking him and he passed a corn cob small one so I think it was a foreign body, I was so glad he passed that.  He then felt so much better I just about sank with relief that the little guy was feeling better. 
Saturday we went to LaMars and got donuts and then went up and hiked up to Dixon from the Cottonwood Glen area, we each took a dog.  It lasted about an hour and was really enjoyable even though Peyton said later that she hated it.  Then we went to the CSU forestry fair which was small but the people were so nice and it was interesting, a few crafts, we got to see and touch the white fire repellent that we watched them spray from the giant hose.  They actually gave out donuts so the girls I think were pretty full when they were about 3/4 through with that donut!  We had the dogs there too because they did not mind that we brought them and they were so well behaved.  
Next we headed to JC Penny where the girls got a haircut and style before getting their photos taken.  When the lady was finishing up on Sophie I asked her to curl her hair just a little, It was such a frightfully hideous style.  It looked like her hair was sticking out in all directions.  I went to the front to pay and 3 other stylists were up there and I told them that was the worst styling job I had ever seen and I had to go right to photos.  So one of the ladys took Sophie back to fix it up which Sophie of course took personally and did not want to do.  It looked better when she was done but I think the lady cut way too much off fro hair that was just about tolerable in length.  The photos actually turned out really well.
We went to BK (girls) and TB (mom) for a quick bite before going home.  We watched Return to Halloweentown and I rested a bit then took the dogs out.  Then I had the girls do their chores which went pretty well and later we watched Harry Potter number 1 and I made 3 batched of yummy sweet peach freezer jam. 
Now it is Sunday and we will have Stake Conference at 10:00.
