Spaghetti
Last weekend we watched Amy's two older girls while they were in San Diego, and John thought it would be fun to take a bunch of pictures of Chloe eating her spaghetti. Actually it was the only way she would eat it.

Taylors baptism & fun at the pumpkin patch
Taylor's special day!! Oct. 11, 2008~ Baptized on her b-day!
Friday morning, John & I flew up to Marc and Misty's for Taylor's 8th b-Day and her baptism. We had a ton of fun! Misty & I went shopping while the kids were in school and then around 1:30, we all went to Taylor's class and gave her class treats for her b-day. Taylor didn't know when we were coming up, only that we were. So, when I showed up at her class, she was very surprised! When Ethan and Taylor got home, she wanted to go to Claim Jumper for her b-day dinner. It was very good!! Good choice Tay! Later that evening, Sarah and her family came up and spent the week end with all of us. It was a very happy house with 8 grandkids all together! Marc and Misty have a 4100 sq foot home, so it accommodated us well!! On Sat. Taylor was baptised and it was very sweet. Nice and small and mostly just family, with about three other families there. I gave a talk on the Holy Ghost and Misty put me on the program as chorister. Umm, never did that before. I didn't do too badly. I don't think anyone noticed. The kids played in the sprinklers and we went to the most awesome pumpkin patch ever! We went there last year when we went up for Tay's b-day. Thanks Marc and Mist for a great time! We came home Sunday night around 11. Had a nice bumpy landing from all the wind, and landed coming in toward the east. Yeah, don't like that! Too many turns, my tummy didn't care for that! So, enjoy the pics~~

Brooke & Taylor
Taylor and Brooke (4 weeks apart) They look like twins!
Well, 3 weeks ago we were on our way to Omaha to our grandaughter, Brooke's baptism, and now we are off again up to sacramento area to go to our other grandaughter, Taylor's baptism. I just can't believe how fast they all grow up. Our oldest grandaughter, Brittnie is going to be 10 in January! How dare she! Her dad was just 10, what is going on?? Time just keeps marching on, and it just doesn't care if we want to slow down at all! Anyway, Jeff and Marc have beautiful girls and I am so proud to be their gramma! I can't wait to go up and see Taylor be baptized. It will aactually be on her 8th birthday! So very special. We are very blessed to have children that teach their children the importance of the gospel and the rightous way to live their lives. Great job kids!!! You done good!!!
The girls look like angels!

Twilight just never ends!!!
This is fun if you are a Twilight fan, of which I am, I miss reading these stories, I wish she would write more on this series. Hmmm, I may just have to reread them. So take this fun quiz and see who you would be!!!
Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!
You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great
importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and
appreciate the kind way you always handle things.
