The other day I was watching Aubry and Melany play cards. They were laughing and having so much fun. I thought about when I was a little girl with my little sister Ann. We had so much fun, didn't we Ann? For some reason I remember fall and playing outside until late evening and then coming in with red and cold hands and putting them down our Dad's neck or our Mom's. I remember playing on the trampoline, the tall yellow flowers in the yard, playing with the Peck's (our neighbors), doing the splits, checking on Grandma, picking an apple from her tree. It was fun being a little girl, and having a built in friend. I love you Ann thank you for the fun memories.

And this is my "Fonzie"! This is stepping out of the box for Derek, but I was glad that he wanted to do this. He is such a fun kid! He works so hard, he has a job working for Buck and Jean Smith. He also gets up at 5:30 almost every morning to go play basketball. Shea goes with him on a couple of the mornings and Derek wakes him up to go play. They are two peas in a pod. Sometimes when they are both outside and I look out and see them I have to look twice to see who is who.

HOMECOMING WEEK super fun! This was celebrity day. May I introduce you to "Audrey Hepburn!" I thought she looked so cute! She had a blast. The sad thing is she found out on this day that the volleyball team is scheduled to play in a tournament this weekend so they won't be able to go to homecoming. So that put a damper on the week. The good news is,the LADY LOBOS beat both Blue Ridge and Payson this week! I love watching Tiff play.

I don't really get into the whole political stuff that goes on so to do this on my blog is a bit stepping out of my box. But with the pass of the bailout bill it really scares me. I was scared before that too, but after watching the youtube film that I posted it really makes me wonder what will happen to the future of our country. Please watch it and send it to as many people as you can.

Fall

I love this time of year! My Mom and Dad grew corn this year and I asked them if I could have the corn stalks. When they brought them to me they also brought me hay, they are so good and kind to me. I also love my front porch. I so enjoy sitting out there mostly in the mornings or late evening so I can watch the sun set. I like being out there by myself, with my ipod and listening to Micheal Buble, but my kids keep finding me, that's okay too then they sit and tell me about their day and I love that.

Kamy and Frogs

With all the rain we have gotten there has been an abundance of FROGS around our house. Kamy has decided she likes them and doesn't even hesitate to pick them up. The other night we found 4 of them. 3 small ones and 1 big one. She decided she needed to kiss the big one before telling it goodbye. It freaks me out, but I don't want her to see that it does.
