Tis' the season

October 2006

October 2008

The one thing I dread about this time of year is this! Easton starts to having a hard time breathing and has a nasty cough from Sept to April. "They" say kids tend to grow out of this around 3years old so I'm really really hoping Easton will follow that pattern. He is such a little trooper. He puts his dragon mask on and sits patiently until the breathing treatment is over. He's been doing it for so long it's just part of the routine.

One of the days during fall break I took the kids to see the witches at gardners village. If you've never been, you should go. There are witches all over the shopping village... flying, rowing, playing, hiding,working....the kids had a good time trying to find all them, eating out for lunch and picking out treats at the candy store! Thanks kids for the fun date!

These are a few of my favorite things.....

I love the Fall. The Weather is perfect during the day and the nights start to get a little cold making it ideal time to go camping "READ STYLE" in the backyard! This is one of our kids favorite activities...sitting around the campfire roasting marshmellows and eating smores....Then we pack it up and head inside. Now that's my kind of camping!

I Love Halloween---especially the decorating part! This year we added a BIG Mama spider to go along with the demented spider egg sacks hanging in the door way. I also made the cute pumpkin topiaries to add to the collection of Halloween decore.

Another favorite....I love having a project...these are some of the many baby blankets I have made for friends and family. They are so soft and just darn cute---I'm thinking about making one in my size!

And finally...Fall means yummy treats....I love to make carmel apples and I love even more to eat them!

Why do you love fall?

New Cousin Babies

Cecil's 2 youngest brothers, Abe and Jon both became daddys on the same day...Jon has a boy named Ohen and Abe has a girl named Marley. Look at those cute little cousins!

Ashlyn means business when it comes to babies....She loves, loves, loves them! I asked her if I could have a turn holding Marley and she told me " No Way!" Funny thing is..she means it! She was counting up all her babies the other day and came up with 9 different babies that she claims as her own! If you ever need someone to hold your little one for a minute... or twenty you know who to call! She is going to be a great little mommy someday!

OH! Ohen... Isn't he just the cutest little man!

Ginger-"The lost kitten, that's not"

Meet "Ginger" She is a cat that my girls ( along with the rest of the neighborhood) have become quite attatched to. We all thought she was lost so the kids started making "lost" posters in hopes to find it's owner. Morgan even put the posters in page protectors incase there was bad weather---that girl is always thinking ahead!! Well, come to find out " Ginger" is really "Dodger" who lives a couple of streets over. Her owners just found out about her home away from home and are willing to share her every now and then, as long as the kids are nice to her. We are glad she has a home---she is a very sweet cat.

Harley doesn't have the same opinion....she thinks "ginger" would TASTE sweet for lunch!

Ashlyn and Ashley spent all afternoon with "Ginger" and were reluctant to let her go ...even if it was bed time!

Welcome Home!

Thursday October 2nd was a great day! My parents returned home from their 18 month mission to Australia. All the Grandkids had Australian Flags to hold and a sign to welcome them home. We all started to cheer when we saw them finally come down the escalator. It didn't take long for the kids to run and give Grandpa and Grandma BIG HUGS! We are all very excited to have them back home with us again!

All the Grandkids PATIENTLY waiting to see Grandpa and Grandma



My parents didn't know that my brother Tyler was going to be at the airport...it was great to have the whole family together again!

All the kids decided that my parents house needed a little updating so the last month they were gone we had their door painted black,put new black shutters on, hung new outdoor lights on the house and also replanted the front yard. We had many Family Home Evenings together to get everything done! This picture is their reaction to their "new house." We were all a little scared they wouldn't like it but everything turned out amazing and they said they love all the new changes! Welcome Home Elder and Sister Tuckett!

New York Minute

I heart NY! We took a quick trip to New York a couple of weekends ago and learned that 4 days in the city just isn't enough!! There is so much to see and experience in the city that NEVER sleeps! We had a great time watching baseball, shopping, eating,riding every form of public transportation--train, subway, taxi, and sight seeing! A big Hug and Kiss to my wonderful family and friends (Amber, Nicole, Jen and Mariellen) who took care of our kids while we were gone---no responsibility for a couple of days is soooooo nice! Let us know when we can return the favor. xoxoxo
