October has been very hectic. Elk hunt, swine flu and deer hunt. Now its Halloween. Rex is working in Delta six days this week. He will be home Sunday and Monday the goes off to Wyoming for the first week in November. I will be tending Michelle and Steve's two youngest while they are in DC. It's our off year for Thanksgiving so maybe it will slow down when everyone gets home.
I have enjoyed being in UT county even more as our new grandchildren have arrived. It is so fun to be close and tend often. I love being handy for that reason. Kris seems to be doing better with his nephews here. Everyone seems to know when he's had enough he heads off to his room and we leave him alone.
We (Kris and I) went to a ward Halloween party last night and Kris was hesitant at first but once he got going he had a good time. He loves to dress up but he didn't wear his new knight costume. He was in his white karate uniform. I, of course was a witch but have a new costume Rex bought me. I can't wait until Halloween night to sit on the porch and welcome all the little ghosts and goblins. I enjoy it and love startling all the teens that come along later.

We had a fabulous Easter will all our family here except Jamey and Erica who are about to have our thirteenth grandchild, maybe today!! We celebrated Leah's b-day and the April birthdays while the Ashtons were here for spring break. And we had a big shindig courtesy of Kris for his 23 b-day. He made invites and took them to all the neighbors. There were 18-20 who came for cake and ice cream. Check out the photos.

Our visit to Delta
We spent a couple of days in Delta with Rex last week. Kris had a good time visiting, tending Grams and bowling. Unfortunately we came home sick. He and I have not been out this week because of fever, cough, etc. I took him to instacare the other night (see the photo) when he was so miserable. The next day the doctor even called to see how he was. How many times does the doctor call? He was really sick. We are doing better today -- no fevers but still coughing and my voice is coming back!
I just happened to try a video as Kris got a great strike. Check it out...

In between snow storms we finally got our Christmas decor in from the front yard so I'm moving to Valentines and on to St Patricks Day. We had our Utah children here for prime rib dinner on Valentines Day. We enjoyed a good dinner and loved the visit.
I'm having fun paper crafting. With all the fun tools I have and all the fun paper there is no limit to what can be made. Since I'm home with Kris I just sit down and play. Rex thinks all I do is play so I guess I better just do it!!
We are going to let Kris work four days a week, just like Dad. I hope it works better. He just doesn't love working. Just like any of us! It's just a fight to get him out the door but he is pleased with what he has done when he gets home.
It's official: we are having two more grandsons. Jamey and Erica's will come in April and Michelle and Steve's will arrive in May. This is what grandaprenting is all about. I can't wait.
