The Annual Pumpkin Patch

Since our move to Idaho Falls, we missed our trip to the greatest pumpkin patch. This year, we made it back.

Kaden and his friend Brigham got the biggest pumpkins they could carry!

I just love fall pictures, no one is too hot or too cold and usually smiles great! Conner obviously had something more important on his mind!

How About That Swine Flu?

So, I know the swine flu is becoming a real problem but I can't seem to get too rattled about it! It's the flu! It sucks to be sick but is it really worth all the press coverage and scares in the school? I'm not wishing this on anyone and I feel terrible for anyone who gets it but the media makes it sound like Anthrax or something! Keep washing your hands, eat your fruits and veggies and stay home if you're sick! Just my 2 cents worth! (Not worth much!!!)

Decades Day

For Homecoming Week, they had "Decades Day". The stores here in Burley don't have much to offer in the way of costumes so we took a dress Kenzie already had, ratted some Big Hair and called it "The 60's"! Notice the lovely addition of the bandage on her hand. She had some surgery yesterday to remove a cyst. I think it was a little more painful than she anticipated but she still looks great! What a beautiful girl!

Welcome Company!

Welcome to our new Home!!

Our guest room is ready for company and so are we! Hopefully our company doesn't mind sharing a room with all of my scrapbook stuff, this room is doing double duty but I'm happy with the way it turned out! Still needing to paint but that will come in time!

When my scraproom is clean and displayed.....you know I'm ready for some company so who is going to be first?

Dad's 80th Birthday

The smile on dad's face says it all! We got together as a family for my dad's 80th Birthday Party! Thing was, it was a total surprise to him! We haven't been together as a whole family in probably 4 years. He was totally in shock and couldn't be happier when he showed up at the Brick Oven in Provo and the whole family was there! The only one missing is my neice Stephanie who couldn't get away from work to come, maybe next time. I sure hope it isn't another 4 years before we find a reason to get together again!

The New House!

So I'm a little behind on our blog!!! That is an understatement! We've had a little bit of a busy summer, then to top it off....we moved back to Burley (in a rush) just in time for school! This is a photo of our new (and hopefully our LAST) house! We love the neighborhood, we love the ward and we love the location! How do we know that? This house is about 8 houses down the road from our last house here. We love the layout of the house, now we just need to make it feel like home to us. We are so glad to be back together as a family. Being apart for most of the week and Jeff commuting 2 hours each way to work just really didn't work out. As much as we loved Idaho Falls and our friends and neighbors there, we are happy to be back in Burley and all together again.

I went with Makenzie and the 8th Grade Band to Lagoon. She had a couple of good friends that were there along with one of mine. I sat under my umbrella the whole day, looking like a freak, while everyone else had a great time in the sun! Getting up at 5:00 to ride with a bus full of 13 year olds took its toll on all of us. By about 4:00 we were wiped out! Luckily we didn't have to ride the bus home cuz Jeff came down with the boys that afternoon and then back to Lagoon again on Saturday!
