Every year Oma and Opah give the grandkids a little goodie bag for Halloween. They always look forward to this time of the year. While we were at Oma and Opas on our way home from Arizona the kids got their Halloween treats. Here the grandkids are opening their goodie bags. They all got Halloween blankets. The kids love them and sleep with them all the time.

Arizona September 2009



We went to Arizona over labor day weekend to bless Alexis along with Julianne (Charles and Opal's Baby). It was a quick trip but we had a lot of fun. It was great to see the family and was a special experience to be able to bless both babies together. Opal and Tanya dressed their babies alike and took some pictures together. Alexis cried the whole time we took blessing pictures but she was at least quiet for the blessing.

Kayla turned 12

It is hard to believe my little girl is twelve years old and going into Young Womens. Where did the time go. I have decided I am officially getting old. I am not the young one I used to be. Kayla had an interesting birthday. Her mom Had a migrain all day and could not do much for her birthday between a new baby and a migrain that put her in bed. Thank goodness for a wonderful husband and father who stepped in and did it all. Kayla wanted to have spaghetti dinner for her birthday dinner with garlic bread and the famous angel food strawberry shortcake for her birthday cake. Normally I have birthday gifts early and I am ready. However, this year I had nothing. How was I supposed to tell my daughter i had nothing for her birthday and maybe we could just post pone her birthday to another day. On top of that her first YW activity was a mother daughter activity. How was I going to do it all and still go with Kayla to young womens. Once again, my husband rescued me and went out and got her gifts and and we ended up celebrating her birthday with her birthdya dinner at 11:00Pm. Hey it was still her birthday for one more hour. Yes we did it!

Kayla said, "The best birthday gift I could have had came early, my Baby Sister"




Ashlynn printed out a picture of her and Kayla and wrote a sweet note on the back for her. Talk about sisterly love. Oops if you look carefully you can see ashlynn used a permanent marker and it bled through the picture. We all laughed when ashlynn said, "oops it looks like we have chicken pox."

"Yes I got my spaghetti dinner for my birthday"

Brayden went ice skating

Brayden got to go ice skating for the first time for telling the truth 100 times. We had a little jar and every time Brayden told the truth he got to put a penny in the jar. We told him that when he earned one hundred pennies that he could pick what he wanted to do. Brayden picked going out with his dad ice skating. They had so much fun when Brayden got home he said, "I figured it out. I can save my lawn mowing money for a month and then I can pay for Dad and I to go Ice skating again."
