I Love These Pictures!!!

We were in Escondido, CA this summer at the Lawrence Welk Condominiums, I think Ben and Laura were at a Padre game and we were baby sitting. The kids are playing in the shower.

They are just so stinkin' cute. In the top one Conner lookes like he is going to turn on the water I love the look on the Camerons face - but don't worry Jakob has his foot on Alexa ready to stand on her. Looks like on the 2nd one Alexa is going to the bathroom and Cameron is going to climb in Alexa's lunch bag. They had so much fun that night - being together in the shower.

I am sad to think that we will all be apart for Thanksgiving - that 3 of my children are in Rexburg. Thank goodness they have each other and Cori and Colin are there to take care of my boys - the good news is exciting. I just can't wait - Cori and Colin are risking their lives and coming for Christmas. The boys are coming home. We are so excited. It will be fun to all be together again. Crazy as always but fun. It will be good times - especially since Brian is heading off to Basic Training then AIT. Who knows what the future holds for our family. But for now I am excited for the Holidays and to see what trouble/fun/craziness my cute little grandkids get themselves into. Maybe this time we can get Baby B's in the picture.

The Miracle for Today

Is my family - we love them so much and are very grateful for who they have all become. They have all taken different paths but are all headed in the right direction. We are happy and proud of them. Maybe who ever reads this could count your blessings and look for your own miracles just for today.

Why Is Everything I Want So Expensive?

Click on the this link and you can read about the above mixer.

I wish I could talk to someone who has one of these or something similar. I want one for Christmas - they are so expensive but I really want something to make bread and mix large batches of cookie dough. I have a Kitchen Aid but it only makes small batches. I don't want to knead bread by hand, it is to hard so I just don't do it. Is there anyone out there who reads this blog who has any experience with the Bosch mixers and could give me any input? This is the newest version - it sounds wonderful. I have always wanted a Bosch and hope this one would be a great one and last forever.

Where Did She Come From?

Now the above picture is so cute, my baby holding her sisters baby. Both so innocent and sweet, but wait...

It is interesting when I go through my pictures I find all of these strange things that randomly appear. My youngest seems to have an obsession with the Camera. Her Dad says we are not deleting them because we have to save them and show her boyfriends. Who knows when she does it - I think she is a Closet Movie Star!! (Side note - she does all of her own filming in case you couldn't tell!)

The reason I was looking through my pictures was because I wanted to find the grandkids in the shower this summer while we were on vacation - I got a little sidetracked when I spotted the above pictures. I'll save that for another time, this deserves the whole blog.

Miracle of the Day

Brian called and said that his truck had broken down and he had to leave it at work. This after we had helped him with a new Alternator and a new Battery just this week. He said it could cost as much as $1000.00 to get it fixed. He was pretty bummed. Dad's on a campout so I told him to go ahead I had Christmas Money that we could use to help get it fixed. Thanks to Colin who along with his Cute & Lovely Wife Cori has helped Brian out more than once, he helped him figure out that it was JUST A FUSE!!!! Brian called and said go ahead and go Christmas Shopping (thanks for the permission) I'm thinking the real miracle is Colin and Cori just happen to be living in Rexburg so they can help him on a regular basis - Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!
