Happy Halloween

We had some fun last night. We had our FHE pumpkin carving last night and it was fun. Leslie and I cleaned the pumpkins out earlier in the day, to make the carving a little quicker. It was a good idea. Oh, we didn't clean out Tyler and Christine's pumpkins.

Emily enjoyed some time without everyone grabbing at her.

Tyler and Christine got pretty serious about the whole carving thing!

Leslie gave Jared the "easy" one!

Everybody got into the fun! (Once they got over the slimey stuff!)

Whoops I did it again. I forgot to take the after shots of our pumpkins!

Isn't the Fall fun!

I had the best time ever yesterday with my daughters and my grandkids. And they are GRAND.

Here's our annual Halloween Picture with all the kids. What you really miss is Leslie jumping up and down and screaming - trying to get them to focus on the camera and smile at the same time.

The kids played so well together. They really love being together.

Kaja and Kylee are looking at magazines and deciding what they want for Christmas or whatever they can have.

Jayce's watching the big girls frosting cookies and then eats them.

Jaxon's ready for another cookie.

Kylee and Kaja liked frosting cookies. But their idea is a bit different than grandma's. In their mind when they frosted the first cookie they ate it, then frosted another and ate that one and so on and so on. They didn't get that we just frost all cookies and share them.

After all the fun at grandma's we went to Jaker's Pumpkin Patch and played in the maze and picked out some great pumpkins to take home. Here's Kylee on top of a bale of hay and considering the maze and how to get out.

Jaxon ran around and around and around and around.

Jayce walked around and was way cute!

Kaja like climbing on the bales and getting off "all by herself". Tyler got in on the fun too!

Tyler and Christine and Emily went clear out in the field to cut their pumpkin!

I think I'm going to have to do this every year, but I think Grandpa should come and enjoy the time with the kids.

Happy Birthday Kylee

What a sweet precious little girl our Kylee is. She certainly is our little princess.

I LOVE AUTUMN

I looked out my window and what did I see . . . oh, wrong season. I did look out my window and saw this beautiful tree. Some years it's just this beautiful, and others not so. I think we've had some cooler temperatures for a longer period of time, usually we go right to winter. I've heard that the cool temperatures are what add to the color of our foliage. Anyway, enough - isn't it pretty.

Happy Birthday Jaycelyn, we love you.

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Jayce.

We've been a little busy

I know I'm not real great at blogging and it's been awhile since I last blogged. But, you know you get busy and find some other stuff that needs to be done. So some things get put on the back burner. That's how my blogging goes.

David and I went to St. George a couple of weeks ago for his business and my play. I just wanted to show you what he can do to a room and table with his "stuff".

And 2 briefcases full of files. This really isn't too bad, now that I see it in pictures. It is a lot of paperwork for him.

Saturday we went 4 wheeling. We are trying to get in as much outdoor play as we can before the weather turns bad. We went above Wasatch State Park. It wasn't the greatest ride of all, but it was fun to get out. Here David and Tyler took a rest under a Deer Valley ski run sign. I wonder what happens to the couch when the snow falls.

Nice lookin' couch, huh? Better lookin' guys!!!

And here we stopped and had some homemade, or 4 wheeler-made, ice cream. Tyler and Christine gave David an ice cream maker for the 4 wheeler. We mixed up 1/2 and 1/2, sugar and vanilla, put it in a jar surrounded by ice and salt, tied it to the rear of my machine and 60 minutes later, ICE CREAM. It was delicious. Tasted just like homemade from the machine at home. What a great invention, and what a great gift from Tyler and Christine. THANKS!

The Butlers, our very good friends, gave us this picnic table for the grandkids. They loved it. Of course, they can't sit on both sides because they have to sit next to each other!!!!

So we have had a busy but wonderful couple of weeks.

A great get-away and being home weekend

It has really been a long time since I have put something on my blog, so here's a lot!!

Here the kids are getting "crazy" with Mario Carts on the WII. "WE" sure are having a great time with our new game. It brings the kids home!

Jayce saw grandpa tickling the big girls so she tickled Emily, our little girl.

David likes to get down with the kids and play. And they love him for it.

David and I went to Strawberry on Friday afternoon and Kevin and Nicole followed later that night. David and I went fishing out on the boat when we got the trailer all set. It was cold and rainy and unsuccessful.

Nicole tried to get some school work in, grading papers is always what she loves to do.

Kevin got in his "frog togs" to go out fishing with David on Saturday in the rain. It rained all day!!! But, it didn't stop the guys.

We rode around on Sunday to listen to conference. David really doesn't like his picture taken.
Here are some pictures of what we enjoyed while listening to conference. It was just beautiful. My pictures really can't describe how pretty the colors were.

See the snow!!

I feel so blessed with all the Lord has given me and mine. What a wonderful world we live in. And to top it all off, I have a great family.
