It's coming! I find myself in awe as I drive around. It is so beautiful and everyday a different tree stops me in my tracks and I just say, "WoW!" Some of the yellow and red trees this year are so vibrant. If I was a better photographer I would capture it all but that is what Del is for! I have other hobbies at the moment that I would rather spend my time on. (tennis)
Fall
We LOVE Visitors
We love to see family and friends whenever they are out our way. Maury and Wendi and Alex and Beau were here to see Kirtland and to take the kids to Cedar Point so we were able to meet them for breakfast. It was so fun to visit with them. I remember babysitting Alex and Beau when they were babies after we were first married - now they are driving and so grown up! 
Getting Ready For Halloween
We can never make our gingerbread houses stay with just the frosting so I always have to hot glue them to make them stay before the kids start to decorate.
Gotta love the frosting all over Carli's face. Lindsey had it on her face but she wiped it off before I took the photo.
Where Do I Even Start?!?!
I have not updated this for quite some time. I don't even know where to start because I've missed so many events. I think I'm not going to stress about the order and just start posting!
Del and I took Sydnee, Lindsey, and Sydnee's good friends Halle and Margo to NYC this summer. We had SOOO much fun. Carli was in Las Vegas with Grandma and Grandpa so we felt so lucky to not have to worry about her getting tired from walking around all day and shopping for things that she doesn't care about. We drove the motorhome there and stayed in the Wal Mart parking lot in New Jersey! It was HILARIOUS! After taking a cab into the city the first night and spending about $80 for a 20 minute ride, we made good use of the NJ public transit and took the bus into the city for the rest of the weekend. Kids ride free on the weekends and there was a bus stop that dropped off right in the Wal Mart parking lot! We felt a little like WT (white trash) but there were several other motorhomes in the parking lot! Who cares... it was the cheapest we have ever done NYC! Del was such a good sport hanging with all the girls! He knows his way around pretty well and is good with the subways. He's also good to have around when the Asian lady on Canal Street is leading us through the secret passageway, down the stairs, and through another door to get to the really good stuff!

Central Park
The NJ Transit is actually quite nice!
I think the painting behind Del is so funny! He needed to take a little cat nap while we waited for our food. The frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity was delicious!Lots of Craziness happens when I take a Sunday Nap
This is MY shower - What the heck??? I took a Sunday nap and apparently Lindsey and Carli were filming a commercial in my shower! Sometimes I freak out when I walk into a room a find a mess like this that they "were just getting ready to clean up" but I guess I should be happy they are using their imaginations and not sitting around playing mindless video games!Memorial Day
We went to the Memorial Day parade. It looked like a Porter Rockwell Painting downtown. It was so small town and fun! Great weather, great friends, and a fun picnic with our ward later in the afternoon.
Of course we had to make a quick stop at Main Street Cupcakes!
This lady was adorable! Driving Miss Daisy!
Lindsey's Economics Project
Lindsey had to do an economics project at the end of the school year. She had two partners, Ali and Gracie. They came up with a name, business plan, marketing plan, etc. At the end of the unit, they had a fair where all of the kids displayed their projects and had to give guests who attended their "business pitch". I was so impressed with it all. It's not surprising that rhinestones were involved in Lindsey's company. It was called "GAL" (Gracie, Ali, Lindsey) and it was cute clips. Anything to make a girl feel pretty from the neck up!
