"This is a wonderful time to be on earth. While there is much that is wrong in the world today, there are many things that are right and good. There are marriages that make it, parents who love their children and sacrifice for them, friends who care about us and help us, teachers who teach. Our lives are blessed in countless ways."
-President Thomas S. Monson
I got up this morning and made bacon and eggs for Darrel. I hadn't seen him since Tuesday and I knew he was going home today.
Brian and Kim made pumpkin bread and it was gone within five minutes. I made some pumpkin bars with cheesecake frosting that James loved. Definitely a pumpkin theme going this weekend.
Kim played the match game with Ruby and Addy and Ruby won. She definitely has a knack for this game.
Ruby is the Frozen match game queen!
A crowd gathers to watch her in action.
Kim is so much fun. She played hide and go seek with the kids. Rowan hid under the kitchen sink and Ruby left her spot to go to the bathroom so it took a long time to find her.
James took the kids on a Razr ride to look for elk.
I love these kids!
Kim and I watched Lola while Trina vacuumed and packed to go home. She loved the little lamb Trina bought her last night and wanted to grab it but kept grabbing her hands instead.
Addy got to finish her puzzle!
Beautiful!
Kim gave Addy a Hermoine wand,
scarf, and robe for Halloween.
Addy didn't need the glasses so Ruby took them.
The dining room table is where most of the game
playing and eating takes place.
Brian went and got gas for the Razr so they could take a ride on the mountain to see the fall leaves.
I couldn't resist posting this picture of
Joe with Ben and Max a year or so ago.
Such handsome boys!
Ruby and Rowan had a great time playing with Alex.
Kim is a favorite with all the kids.
I love this picture!
Trina and the kids left for Show Low around 5 to meet Darrel
and go home. Ruby was not ready to go.
Grandpa had to comfort her.
We will definitely miss these faces!
James and I left for town around the same time. We went to two banks, Walmart, and then Sonic. I am addicted to their cheeseburgers and James likes the New York dog.
