I have been so sick the past few weeks that the Blog has truly suffered. I've got a terrible head cold that just will not go away. So tomorrow I'm headed to the Doc., because it's gotten so bad that I'm not getting much sleep.
Work is going good, except for all the sick kids we have had lately. I'm starting to catch on to the Head Start way!
I'll post some new pictures soon!

Ellie's 12th Birthday!

The Cake~Bella Sara, Autumn Horse

Ellie's friend Anna, gave her a "makeover" from her mother's Beauty School here in town.

She got her nails painted and her hair done.

She had a blast, and thought it was fun to be pampered!

Grma & Grpa Berg gave her the 3rd book in the Dragon Slippers trilogy, Dragon Spear! It was even signed by Jessica Day George for Ellie's birthday!

She also loved the new tennis racket her Great Aunt's Charlotte and Kathryn gave her. She took lessons this past summer.

This was her favorite card, from her cousin, Brieanna!

She loved the silver fox tail Grma Susy, and Grpa Blaine got for her too.

Primary Program!

We recently had the Primary Program in our ward. It was a wonderful meeting, all of the children sang beautifully and did a great job on their talks. It's one of my favorite meeting of the year. The spirit is always so strong, and there is never a dry eye in the audience after it is over. This year marked an historic time for our little family all of my kids were in the program this year. Ellie just barely got to be in it, because she turned 12 the next week. It was nice to sit on the bench next to my husband for once, and not have little ones asking "Momma, why are you crying?". I fully enjoyed the talents and antics of my children from the audience. I should have taken a picture! They all looked so precious, all dressed up in their Sunday best. What a blessing families are. I'm truly grateful for mine!

Just Stuff !

This week it actually snowed! So we got a little taste of winter!

Thank goodness it didn't stay long! It is a beautiful day today!

On Monday for Family Home Evening we went up Pine Canyon
to have a picnic and enjoy the fall leaves.

We ate fried chicken, chips, rolls, and drank fruit punch.

Daddy even got to go with us!

After dinner we all went hiking and picked some fall leaves to take home. The fall leaves were awesome and the colors were amazing!

This month Ray started preschool at Headstart!

He is excited to be in school!
I also started working at Headstart as a bus/classroom aide. It sure takes some getting used to, but I love being able to teach again!

We had a water pipe break in the front lawn, and Uncle Brad,brought his tractor over to help dig it up. The kids thought it was fun to ride in the tractor scoop!
