Halloween '09

I love Halloween...especially seeing all the costumes. This year the grandkids arrived as Little Bo Peep & a little sheep...or as Taylor says, "I'm Peep...Kylee's the sheep"...This is the kind of sheep I count when trying to go to sleep...Isn't she a cutie!!We had two pirates...complete with swords & knives...A pirate must always protect themselves & their "booty"....you never know who might try to steal your candy loot!!!And one adorable little elephant...What a cutie!!!

Gage had asked me what I was going to be for Halloween this year. I told him I was going to be a "Grandma" but he didn't think that was too scary. Scott took the lead on this one & decided to dress up a bit & scare the kids....when they arrived he was hiding & came out growling...they all jumped and looked a bit nervous for a moment until they realized it was just "papa".

Happy Halloween to my favorite little goblins!!!

Pumpkins...Pumpkins...Pumpkins

Over UEA weekend we headed to the pumpkin patch & corn maze so the grandkids could pick out their halloween pumpkins! We chose a warm sunny day & had a great time together. We headed out thru the corn maze, went over to the animal pens to see the animals, into the spooky light alley and off to pick out the pumpkins. I look forward to this every year & enjoyed the day with Mandi, Kelby, Gage, Atlee, Melanie, Taylor, Kylee. It was fun to add two new little ones to our adventure this year! Thanks for humoring this grandma!!! Love you all & Happy Halloween!

Fall Leaves

On Saturday Scott & I packed a picnic lunch & headed up the Alpine Loop from American Fork canyon over into Cascade Springs, down into Provo Canyon. It was a wonderful afternoon. We enjoyed the drive & the spectacular color of the leaves. We haven't been out to see the leaves for several years...and this year was well worth the wait. Fall is definately in the air...and in the colors!!

All this beauty...just a short drive away...how blessed we are!!!

Kylee's Blessing Day

On Sunday the 13th we had the opportunity to participate in a special day. It was Kylee's blessing day at church. She was dressed in her beautiful white dress & was given a very special blessing by her dad. I always love to see the priesthood in action! Especially on occassions like this. Her dad gave her a beautiful blessing!! (Well done Jason!) Here are a few photos of the day...
I Love You little Kylee!!!
