H-A-double L-O-double U-double E-N Spells Halloween

Ah, the finer things of Halloween. Black frosting and pumpkin guts. Does anyone else ever feel like some holidays conspire against moms? But really I love giving my kids fun messy things they love and making traditions. Good times.

I Hope They Call Me On A Mission!

When I have grown a foot or two or three or four (it could happen).

And congratulations to my baby brother on his mission call. He is going to Joao Pessoa, Brazil! Amazing. We love you Dale, you are an example to this little guy and I am glad for it!

Fall

After a couple years in Autumless Southern California I am just blown away by fall this year. Yes it's cold but its so stinkin' pretty. Here are the trees directly across the street from my parents house that I get to look at every day.When the sun hits them it looks like they are on fire.

And here is a picture of my sister and me. She came to visit for a while and we already miss her and the twins.

Clap Your Hands!

I think this boy is cute.

Wearing his cousin's glasses.

Scooter

Griffin is mobile. This makes for a happier Griff and a busier mom. We think that his little scoot looks like he is swimming. He will rock on his knees and elbows. When I put him down on the floor he will be on his hands and knees and stay like that for a minute or so then flop to his belly so he can scoot off.

Griffin also has a tooth now! Yay for being big (boo for being bit when I feed him)!
