I've got the most amazing little grands....yesterday Michon and Carrie came for a little while.  I think they dropped Jade and Cam off up at the top of the road because the garbage can is in it's place now.  Thanks you, Jade and Cam for helping grandma by bringing the garbage can down!!!   We don't have a beach with sand anywhere near, but the leaves work fairly well.  Here is Jade under the leaves and the cousins who helped "bury" her...The only problem was that we couldn't find Jade's shoes when it was time for them to go home...Low and Behold....they were in the leaves.  

Monster Jade comes up out of the leaves.  Funny ...she didn't scare anyone.  

Getting out of the uniform....and packing it all inside the shoulder pads....who knew....

blurry picture of Tarrik kicking off.  It was the perfect on-side kick....went 10 yards..took a pretty bounce over a players head and our team fell on in on the sideline....

The little man's TOUCHDOWN....How about that...GO RATTLERS!!!!

Talya and Trinley ride the carousel.  

Tyanne teaching Trinley a forward roll...Tarrik tries one, too.  oopppsss...

The last rose of summer.  

I'm seriously loving this countertop....It has no bottles of anything waiting to be washed and put away in the storage room....

Autumn Moon....We have been having the most beautiful evenings.  Fall is upon us.  

Our annual trip to the Willis pumpkin farm.  The wind was blowing so hard....Ella found a stick!!!  One of nature's "wonder toys."

Jade & Naia with their pumpkins.

Way to go, Cam!!!

Reese just wants "baby ones."  I think that's an extra stem.......

oooppppssss ----Mylee's wardrobe mal-function...What's a girl to do when her hands are full of pumpkins???  Ella knows something's wrong, but doesn't know what to do about it.  

At 30 cents per pound you can get quite a few pumpkins....Lots of fun!!!

Look Nat!!!   Steve got his own fire engine this year at the Homecoming Parade....The wind was blowing about 40 MPH.  

Grandpa's Girls....during General Conference.  

Ella - busy during General Conference.  Reading and sewing...sounds good to me!!

In kindergarten they learn signs for the alphabet.  This is d-d-d- deer.  Is this an 8-point or a 10-point???

The "Home" that Grandpa, Uncle Mike, Uncle Dave and Cousin Jeff built.  It's really beautiful!!

Stained glass above the entry foyer.  

The "curved staircase."  Actually there are two in this home.  The other one goes downstairs just on the other side of this one.  There is a full size hand-ball court just off the master-bedroom, a full basement for storage, entertaining, exercising, and extra bedrooms.  

Fireplace in the dining room...

Lights and moulding in the Kitchen.  Can't see it very well....It's an oak leaf pattern moulding.  )Is this how to spell moudling or is it molding???) At any rate it's beautiful!

Beautiful Kitchen...check out that side-by-side refrigerator/freezor...

The island has an extension table.  

Super neat idea.... "cubby" for each child..just off the garage in the laundry area.   

sit down...put shoes under seat.

Hang up coats and sweaters. 

books go on the upper shelf.
