New Floor

This is sort of out of date now but you can see the difference in the two floors.  We really like the new one the best.

Erin's home



Gr. Grandma Sarah's home

This is my Great Grandma
Sarah Susannah Campbell's home in North Ogden.  When she lived here she was married to her second husband, Greenleaf Blodgett.  There has been an addition built onto the back and has been kept in quite good condition.  The name of the street was called Old Pioneer Trail.   I have always wondered where they lived and now I know.  From here we drove the back road into Brigham City and went to see the new temple and then had lunch at  our favorite place Maddox.  Sarah was married to Isaiah and they are Frederick's
(my grandpa Campbell) parents.

Indians

I really think this needs to be shown on someone's
blog - -  so I will take the chance and hope it's
okay;

Snuggling with papa

And this is what My guy was doing at clean up time!

The Guys

Well, this is what the guys were doing at clean up time!!

This is clean up time after Thanksgiving dinner.
I'm not sure who is working the hardest???

Sunday Afternoon Stroll

This is really how dark it was getting and then I decided maybe using a flash we would get better light and you can see in the next picture it turned out better.  The Arboretum was still beautiful even at dusk

Baby Things

Well, I only have three blankets done, I'd like to do one more if I have time.   I hope pink and purple are okay because that's just what I chose to sew. 

Carli's Prince

Carli was asked who her prince was and she said "Daddy".  He picked her up and turned
on cinderella music (I think or maybe Snow White) and danced with her.   It was sweet.
She really is the apple of her Daddy's eye!

A few birthday moments

Birthday cupcakes and ice cream

Cinderella dress, shoes, necklace and bracelet and crown. 

4 year old princess

Today we went to Erin's ward to watch the
Primary program.  It as Carli's first time to be in
the program.   She looked so dang cute.  Erin had
put curlers in her hair last night so she had
wringlets for church.  This was taken after church I think with her princess crown on.  She reminded
me of one of my pictures at about that age with
wringlets.  What a cutie

Happy halloween

Dad put up our pumpkin lights and
they really look cute along the
sidewalk.   We needed something
for the holiday because I still had my pink geranium planter sitting by the door.  It just won't die and I can't stand the thought of throwing away a flowering plant.
Love the pumpkin lights though.

Kristi's 30th birthday surprise

Because it is a tradition to do a surprise get-together
the girls and I had planned for a couple of months to
surprise Kristi.  We knew we had to do this earlier than her birthday because her baby was due the first part of November.  So, we  thought it would be best to get together before flu season because you can never predict when your kids are going to get sick.
So, Erin and I made plane arrangements and with Mindy on the phone we all decided October was a good time.   Andy was good with whatever we could figure out for plane tickets.   Mindy flew on Southwest and Erin and I flew Delta  - coordinating our time schedules as best we could.  We  all were so excited just to take a trip and get away - but especially to have a surprise for Kristi.   Andy organized a breakfast with Kristi and she came and we had a wonderful and fun
time.  She truly was surprised to tears - tears are always a good thing in our family.  We stayed four days and then returned to our homes still being missed and loved by our families. 

Happy Birthday Kristi - we love you and wish the best for you in  the coming year -

Having a late night breakfast

We flew into Salt Lake Airport,
Andy picked us up and we were
all hungry so we stopped at
Cracker Barrel for food.  We were
all so excited for the next day because it was the big surprise day for Kristi's birthday.   We could hardly contain our emotions as we talked about  what we were actually going to do.
And, little sister had no idea at all.
I love my four girls and the fun things they do.

A Big Surprise

We surprised Kristi with a birthday brunch
