Where is Sasha?

She loves her books, animals, and blankets!

If you can't tell :)

Happy Birthday Brit

Sorry this is a little late honey. We have had a chance to celebrate for several days. It started last Monday Brit had the day off of school, we got to spend some time as a family at a farm out at Greenbluff. It was great we went on a hay ride, picked some fun pumpkins, hoped for some pumpkin donuts (apparently they only have them on the weekends), & loved the time together. We owe a great big thank you to our friend who came over to spend the evening with the kids and get them to bed (they were great for her, they love her :), it gave us the chance to get out to see Phantom Of The Opera. We had a wonderful time, it was Brit's first time seeing it, he loved the show. I'm so greatful that he enjoyed it, I look forward to more shows in the future. I loved that I was finally able to wear Grandma's fur, it was really nice to have a chance to get all dressed up and go out, just the two of us. On his birthday he got to work (the joys of being an adult - he really does like working there), and then we went to kindermusik and had a great time, the kids love going there. He got many birthday calls on his special day, which are allways appreaciated! Finally last night he got his "birthday dinner" and cake.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIT!

I LOVE YOU!

Tis (flag) Football Season

Week one... It was a wonderfully "warm" that is at least for a Saturday late in October. Brit really enjoys playing, it always helps that he's got a great bunch of guys to play with. They are undefeated after the first week of the Stake tournament (we'll keep you updated). He walked away rather sore (even more so the next day), and a couple of jammed fingers. All should heal shortly, at least in time to bang himself up again this Saturday. He grass-stained both of his knees, that took him quite a while in the shower to correct, but he's no longer my "green-giant".

I'm thankful that he enjoys being active and participating in ward and Stake activities. Thank you sweetheart for your example, and for being such a great sport.

Fun Fall Pictures

The kids and I went to the park today before Sasha's music class to take some pictures, it was a cool but beautiful morning. They did great, thanks for cooperating with me.

Here are a few pictures from our trip to Salt Lake.

We are so thankful that we were able to make it down for Grandma's funeral, and to spend some time with our families. Thank you for the time that you were able to spend with us.

We had a great time celebrating Braden's birthday with everyone!

Even though he didn't like the cake, he doesn't like getting his fingers messy.

Our afternoon at the Hogle Zoo

This elephant was dancing to the music that was playing, it was quite fun to watch.

Silver Lake @ Brighton

Thanks again everyone we loved seeing you!!!

Though next time we are looking for a different way to get there. 14 hours each way was a bit too long for all involved. We are glad that it was an uneventful drive.

Color, color, color

Something that I have always enjoyed is decorating, though I am definately not as good as some others in my family. It would get a little interesting when it would come to redecorating the house as we were getting older having so many different opinions about what would look the best. Lets just say that we each have had our "moments" where our ideas turned out "great". The lamps in my bedroom :) Emily and Mom couldn't see what I was thinking, then they were there and they both loved them. For me that is a rare occurrence, but I still love it. I struggle more with staying with one style consistently throughout a room. There are so many styles that I like I have to watch that I'm not getting too messy about it. Some day when we are done with school and have an income again I might get to really have fun decorating, for now I just keep dreaming.

I found a fun test on Design Mom, it will let you know how well you see color. My score was a 4, though I was hoping for a "0", oh well. How did you do?
