HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Brad and I have definitely moved into the "old" people category. All our kids are gone, out to parties and no one is left to pass out candy. Not that we have alot. Maybe 20 or so, mainly from the ward. It's fun to visit with those that come by. Thanks Brinton for making us smile!! Jacque and Aly were very, VERY creative this year with their costumes. Aly chose to be a vampire from the very popular series "Twilight" and Jacque was a gangsta-girl from the 20's. I'm thinking they are both very....hmmmm.. what's the word??? Provacative?? YIKES! Aly even went to the NEST, a scary haunted house out at Schnepf Farms. Jacque partied all night....I am old...I went to bed!

Vermont Roadtrip

Visiting Vermont

So, as many know, Savannah and myself are on a rescue mission. Aaron is feeling and looking much better. He is still not up to par. How do I know this?? Because his appetite is nothing like I remember. I think he has lost over 15-20 pounds since he left Arizona. Each day, Savannah gets the paper and online ads out and we scour them for apartments and jobs. We are still looking for both, but an apartment they looked at last night is very promising. Today is job hunting day and a trip to costco for Aaron. He hasn't said much, but we all know he is very excited to have his car. It's a beautiful state and I can't wait to post some pictures. I sure miss everyone and all the excitement as we get closer to the FIRST wedding!! We are both flying home tomorrow evening. We have a lot of do before that!!
Have a great day and love to all

Happy Anniversay to Us!!

Well, it's been 20 years since Brad and I were married. We celebrated on an Alaskan Cruise, so on Tuesday (the 16th) it was pretty low-key. Brad woke up with a sore throat and we were having a RS Enrichment activity at our house in the evening. After going to the temple, I picked Brad up and we had a wonderful lunch at Red Lobster. He is still my "everything"!!

Sedona - Part 1

This past week, Jacque went to Sedona to participate in a Photography Workshop. She was trained and taught by an international photographer and also got to be a model for the shoot. She had a lot of fun and learned much about light, lines and compostition. This is one of the pictures she shot of Cosette, the other model.

My Gorgeous Daughter!!

This one was taken by Dani Wheeler, Matt's wife. She was complimented on her great composition techniques

It's Crazy over Here!!

It's been awhile since I've posted anything. This past week has flown by. I traveled to Vegas on Tuesday and back on Wednesday evening for the funeral of Cindy's Mom. What a wonderful lady! Got back in time to help Savannah pack, weigh her baggage and get her ready for a 6:00 a.m. flight on Thursday to Vermont. That Thursday was also cannery day. Jacque informed me that she needed a wedding dress..............

I'll let you think about that one for a minute.

OK....she is going to Sedona this coming Tues/Wed. for a bridal shoot where she is the model. So we needed to find her a cheap wedding dress (under $150) We accomplished that and now have a dear friend who will help us to make it modest! That is tomorrow's goal. Meanwhile............

Friday, I was able to go to the temple and met Cindy there for a session. It was also a 1/2 day for Aly, as it is now the beginning of Fall Break. Saturday was spent catching up on housework, panicking over wedding details I have not yet done and watching conference...which I desparately needed in my life. Also, that evening, was Aly's much anticipated soccer game with the team that bullies her at school. Even with 5-6 players missing, they were able to keep their undefeated season going! Way to go Aly!!

Here's a picture of the $150 wedding dress. I had to make some minor adjustments so that it would fit, but it doesn't look half bad!!
