Weekend Fun!

Had an awesome weekend with my family. We had a family picture taken which i have been wanting to do for years. Crazy i know. But it finally happened. Now i can't wait to get the pictures back.
Here's my girls with Merrick.

And here is my hubby.  He was such a good sport about taking pictures and posing for so many different ones.

And here is Cheli and Akalia dancing or doing some type of exercise. They make me laugh.

And we painted pumpkins. What a mess................................................
But the kids loved it.

Akalia wanted the biggest one she could find. We could hardly get it in the cart.

And Merrick wanted this one. Of course his favorite one was the one he got at school!

And here is his cute little pumpkins. Love those faces.

And here is Akalia's ghost pumpkin. It turned out so good. OH, see that bluish green and brown blob behind the ghost. That is her other pumpkin she painted. Too funny!

We had a fun day. Here is Reena giving Merrick a ride on my new bike.

It was a beautiful fall day. Cold in the morning when we took pictures but nice the rest of the day. Here is one of the places we had our picture taken. Lived here for 25 years and didn't even know this existed. What a beautiful valley i live in.
Enjoy!

Awake, Arise, and Come Unto Christ

She is such an amazing RIGHTEOUS  woman.

Front Cover

Don't know why this picture uploaded sideways, crazy, but there is a little pocket for tabs or what not.

I made a table of contents so when i want to go back and look for something or someone in particular it will be easy to find.

I numbered the pages, well not all of them yet, i will number them as i go.

I found this great talk on http://www.theredheadedhostess.com/. It is so good and a must read before conference. I stapled it to the back and folded it to fit and ...

Wrote"Good talk to read about Conference"

AND-------> We can't forget one of the most important things. A nice new Micron pen. Love these and they are so good to use on your scriptures too because they don't bleed through the pages.


Have a great weekend all.

Random Pictures of Fun

It has been ages since i have posted anything so today i thought i would just post some random pictures of fun things.
First my garden goodies. I thought my garden would be destroyed by the snow and Hail, but alas, it survived and here is the abundance to prove it. We have been enjoying many yummy things from the garden and sharing a lot too.

Also, While Akalia and Merrick were here for a week they had fun dressing up and just playing at Grandmas, i quite enjoyed the smile they brought to my face as well as to my heart.

So adorable. Now i need to find that one of Akalia i really liked where we had her hair in curlers and the morning after's effect. So sweet!

So Beautiful and she loved it.
Thats all for now.
Who knows when or what will be posted next.

Sunday

I have been absent way too long. Summer has been busy. Filled with fun, family, gardening and lawn care. I have the cutest picture of my hubby to share if i can get it downloaded. I love him. He is such a doll and makes me so happy.

Next week my daughter comes to visit for a week and we are going to clean up and clean out and then have a yard sale. Should be interesting. She thinks i am a hoarder. Hardly. I don't even have a couch in my living room. Just 2 chairs and a tv. How can that be hoarding.  I'm looking forward to this clean up and clean out.

He makes me smile. He is so adorable.
