My sister Laurie had her annual Halloween party and as always it was toooo much fun! I mean seriously–look who and what we had here~
The donut eating contest.
Halloween Bark.
The People and the party.
Thanks Laurie and Mark. We had soooo much fun–like we always do.
Love you!
It’s a funny thing to think about–getting all these people in one room at the same time. Quite likely, we just need a bigger room I guess.
But until that time, we’ll just snuggle up…
and enjoy being together.
Whether we’re listening to beloved speakers from General Conference…
or eating all the mini feasts that each session brings…
one of the best parts is passing that sweet baby around…
or watching the kids taking their own “notes.”
It warms my heart to watch my kids with their kids…
or with their spouses having such a good time–living, learning…
and just hanging out with some of our very favorite people.
right this minute.
Bringing home a little bit of Autumn from the grocery store even if we didn’t get it from the garden this year.
Having a photography genius for a son-in-law who took this gorgeous picture of the same river that I took a picture of except my picture didn’t look anything like this. Someday I’ll figure my camera out. In the meantime…thanks Josh!
Having my far away boy happily settled in his new country–Kazakhstan–where he can finally have an oven and they grow apples as big as his hand. Trust me, that’s big!
The rolliest, polliest, sweetest little baby legs a guy could possibly ever have.
My new favorite TV show, “Once Upon A Time” on Sunday nights. I’m. So. Hooked.
Having our own little fix-it girl who’s decided that she is in charge of all home repairs from now on. ;}
Finding out that Mock Turtles do indeed taste just as good in October as they do at Christmas time. hee hee.
Finally having some good news to send to the boy about his beloved Vikings–at last, at last. Go Vikings!
Watching the rain pour down from my bedroom window…hearing it…smelling it…and reaching my hand out the window to touch it. Ooooh–welcome Autumn!
What about you–what are you loving right this minute?
Thanks everyone–for making my birthday so wonderful. Being a year older always feels great when you’re surrounded by the people you love.
that I love right this minute…
My new favorite soup in the universe–that isn’t homemade I mean. It’s incredible especially with a cup of black beans tossed in…and tortilla chips on the side…and cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. Ummmm….
A box of books that are ready to find a new home at the thrift store. Moving books and shelves does make a person re-access what stays and what…goes. Can’t you just hear a chorus of “The Cirrrrr-cle of Life” right now?
A very special, very secret, very big project that’s occupying my hands these days. Any guesses? Here’s a hint–it’s for our Breaking Dawn 2 Premier. Hee hee… Who’s coming with us? Hmmm?
Bright luscious crab apples just begging to be picked…
and a sweet daughter who is willing to come over and…you know…pick them.
A new Farmer’s Market to fall in love with–the Pleasant Grove Promenade. Navajo Tacos, Spare Ribs, music, veggie booths–so much fun!
Soft, willowy grass to curl your toes in.
A little spikey haired baby boy that steals our hearts at every turn.
What a lovely week it’s been!
