Snoozing in the Haystack

We all went to  Thanksgiving Point to Cornbelly's
Halloween celebration.  It was totally the best time I have had for Halloween.   Hundreds of games and rides and things for kids to do.  This one was Papa's favorite.   He's not really like this all of the time - just when the camera is shooting.    What a funny guy.  It was kind of cold thus we have coats on.

Lunch with Nana

I promised Logan he could have lunch in the trailer wtih me and of course I kept my word.  He wouldn't let me forget.   Here he is ringing the dinner bell with the ever so popular Pb & j sandwichs.
This is while we were parked in Kristi and Ben's large driveway.  Boy,that came in handy.  Thanks Kris for letting us use it as our campground.

The Pumpkin Patch Kids

I called Erin to bring the kids over to pick out their pumpkins before the frost comes.  They had a glorious
time picking and choosing.  It's quite a job , course we didn't have a big field full like Greenbluff but they
had a good time anyway.  This is Bodee's little friend (Kree) not sure how to spell her name.  She got a
pumpkin too.   It happened to be cowboy dress up day at preschool today so that is why those two are
dressed up.  We have had beautiful weather lately and today was just perfect.   I am glad the kids had
fun while they were here.   Erin, you can post your pictures too - they are probably better than mine.
Please, please.    Thanks for coming over - it was really fun.    She picked up the steamer because she
has three boxes of grapes coming in this weekend.   Have fun with the grapes!!

Picking Pumpkins

Picking flowers

Erin had a nice, large bouquet by the time she
got her flowers picked.  I hate to see the frost
come and kill them.  They just are so colorful this year.  

Sunday General Conference

I promise you he heard every word

General Conference Treats

I've been so hungry for these and today was the perfect time to mix and eat.

I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE

It won't be long until you can't see the temple from the highway.  A large apartment complex is being
built in the field just north of the temple and that will totally block the view.   These are large and tall
buildings and every trip out there they look even bigger than ever.   Too bad.   Ugh

Happy With Me

I wish I had a gift for quilting like Andy, I wish I could hike and walk like Mindy, I wish I could cook like Erin and I wish I
had endless energy like Kristi and do dutch oven cooking like
Cory  - but I can't.  But,  you know, I am happy
with who I am - a Nana to 14 precious grandchildren whom I
love very much.   Each one is special to me in their own way.
I feel very blessed with who I am and what I can do - just
love you all very much.

I CAN SEE YOU

We are one connected family but yet so distant.
I have such a strong desire to share in your happy/or sad times.  This is my Logitech.  I love it and love skype.  It lets me see you and hear you and all the little kids.  Let's keep connected and please join us on Skype.  I think the first thing I always say when we connect is  "I can see you"!!!!!

Avery's Baptism - Sunday Sept. 19, 2010

Avery's Baptism

The family just before the baptism started.  It was nice to have a personal baptism I think because you can have your own program and family involved and invite those people who a close to your family.   It was really nice.  I set up a table with refreshments in the back of the RS room which the kids could hardly wait to get to.   Matt gave the opening prayer and Scott gave the closing prayer.  Donna directed the music and I played two of the songs and  Erin's friend (Maren) played the rest.

Grandpa and the children

Grandpa's talk on the Holy Ghost. He presented this white gift bag with a few gifts in, one of which was a story book on the HG which he read parts of for the children.  Uncle Cory gave a talk on Baptism (sorry I didnt think to take a pict. then) but he had a picture of a little boy on the board and talked about the armour and put each piece on the little boy picture as he told what each piece represented and then gave Avery a book mark with the same thing printed on it.     Both were very good talks.

The New horse

We took a trip to Walla Walla to visit "Phil" a veterinarian and this is the horse Dad bought.
He just had to ride him in the field as soon as
we got him home.   What do you think???
It's a Yamaha TW200 - only slightly used
and I'm sure will get used more now.

(He loves it)

We had a great weekend too.

The Video

Close up of the light

We are still deciding on which kind of bulb to use
which is why they are different.  The cabinet
opens up with shelves and inside is all mirror too.

The Floor

Not sure why you want to see the floor - it's just ceramic tile. 
It has heated cable underneath so in the winter we can turn on
the heat which has a thermostat on the wall.  I love the
fact that everything is new though.  

One More Picture

Dad installed the lights tonite and I put up the shower curtain.
I found a great picture at Bed /Bath to go in there but I am
debating which wall to hang it.  

This is it so far

The bathroom so far.  Still need to do the lights, switch plates, towel racks and new shower curtain.  Anyway, it is in working order and we love it.
