Lynn

My Sweet father-in-Law Lynn has passed away.  He was 76 years old.  There was never a more Generous and giving man,  Who Loved more than anything in this world,  his Grandkids and Great Grandkids.  He is Finally Re-united with his wife in Heaven who left this earth 8 years ago.

Merry Christmas!

So Glad it snowed....because it just isn't Christmas without SNOW.

Trax with Jason

 Waiting...in just the right spot for Trax  (actually Erin calls it "The Train")

Yeah finally on "The Train"  Looks like someone Stole Jason's Glasses!
Thanks "J"  ......

Leaves in December

 As luck would have it we have tons of leaves in the front yard.

Good News is it only took a couple hours and they were raked up......

 It only took 7 bags.....

The bad news is there are still leaves in the trees......just waiting to fall.

Finally

A New Walkway....over on the west side.  No more Mud to walk through.....Yeah!

Old Shed Door

New Shed Door...

Didn't they do a Great job of matching the color?.......NOT!   Oh Well,  at least it's easy to find the shed door, even in the dark.

Deep Fryer

 A while ago the boys bought this Deep Fryer.

 A Turkey Breast is just the right size to try it out.

 The funny thing is the Oil cost twice as much as the Turkey.

 I was a little worried the oil would soak into the Turkey.

But I was surprised that we got almost all of the oil back,  and the turkey was moist and delicious.

Definitely something to try for Thanksgiving   :)

St George

 Took a Trip to St George....where the Weather is so much warmer.

 We rented this cute little Chevy Captiva...An awesome car!

 We fed the Ducks almost every day.

 Went swimming over at Sand Hollow.....A very fun kid friendly Pool.

 Hung out in the Room.

 Took a couple of rides,  from Washington to Santa Clara and back.

You got to LOVE St George,   well at least I do,  because it is way warmer than Salt Lake.

A very Big Thank You to the Lindquist Family for hanging out with Erin.  She Loved it!

Golf

 I never lose my Golf Ball,  but that might be because I never hit it far enough to lose it!

Best part is Erin loves riding in the cart,  holding the Golf Clubs and cheering me on......just love this girl.

The Garden

 These are the last of the vegetables from the Garden....

Just enough to make some Yummy Salsa!

HAPPY  HALLOWEEN

Got to Love Halloween...although I wish we had more trick or treaters  :)

Pumpkin Hunting

 We finally went to get Pumpkins,  we usually plant our own, but this year they didn't come up.

Erin is a Great "Pumpkin Picker-Outer"   She would have picked them all if we would have let her.

Mia's New Haircut

Jason stopped by to Hang out with Erin and show us Mia's New Haircut.  She is such A Cute Puppy!

Erin and her I-pad

I love that Erin can work her I-pad with not much help.  She can find movies and play games.  We just need to get her to learn how to get to her Music!

Autumn is Finally Here...

 I Love taking a ride up the canyon...

 And seeing all the beautiful fall Colors

I also got to take some fun pictures of some awesome Munchkins.

Jobs

 Old Job

New Job
Huge difference!  I think his wife and kids like the "New Job" version.  

Happy Birthday to Jason

Who told my kids they could go past 30?  I never felt old, until people ask "How old are your kids?"  I tell everyone that I had them when I was really young!

A Date with her Big Brother.

Jason stopped by and took Erin to lunch,  and her favorite activity.....Riding Trax!  Erin always loves to spend a day with her Big Brothers.

Thanks J

A Camping Sleepover

 We set up the tent

 Roasted Hot Dogs

 Made Yummy Smores

 Played in the dark

 And slept in the tent

It was a lot of fun,  I love having the grandkids over for sleepovers. They make life an awesome adventure .

Little Miss "M"

 Such a cutie

 And all ready 7 months old

She is such a Happy Happy Baby.

Out to Five Mile

 Love taking the 4 wheeler out .....Five Mile is a great place to go.

 Erin loves going,  in fact the minute I start talking about it,  she starts carrying her Helmut around.

The best part is when she gets to steer the 4 Wheeler,  you can't see through her Helmut but she has a huge smile on her face.
