It's almost over...

After all the chasing around for fall colors I have my own show in my backyard. Every morning I open my blinds to this view.

I just love these trees! Alas, after this weekend they will probably be gone.

Katie keeps asking when she can jump in the leaves, it won't be long, they are falling like crazy today.

SAVE THE DATE...

This is the big news everyone is waiting for..Brent is getting married!!! I have been waiting for word on the date and it just became official today, January 2nd. He proposed on Friday to a wonderful young lady, Cindy Clayton, whom we are very excited to have join our family! This picture was taken on the big night!

Take a peek at the ring, it's beautiful!

A Free Dinner?!

Last Saturday Dan and I invited Kellie and Kane out to dinner. We thought we would go to the new Texas Road House that we knew was having what they called a "soft opening". As we walked up to the door a gal stopped us and asked if we had an invitation. We said no and started to turn around. She said you can still come in we just have to tell you that all the food is free tonight but there is a limited tonight. Please be patient with the help, they are all learning. We also ask that you leave a tip. As Sheryl would say SWEET! We went in and not only was the food free, they kept coming out with samples of different appetisers to try.
When we got home Brent was just getting home and he and Cindy(Brent's girlfriend)had not had dinner so we told them about it and they went too. Good food and free, you can't beat that!!

Our New Den

This project started this summer and is finally done other that hanging some things on the walls. We also hope to get a nice comfy chair to put buy the window, I am voting for a rocking chair as I have not had one in years.

Some Halloween Fun

Friday afternoon Jessica was on her little spa trip in Park City and Kaylan was busy at work so I got a few hours with Bradley and Katie. I needed to go to Target so we wasted some time in the Halloween section. Katie surprised me by trying on some masks (while wearing pajama's). It was so funny I couldn't resist taking pictures.

Say hello to Hillary...


and this scary babe!


P.S. Thanks to all of you for your love and support for Kellie & Kane.

I'M SO EXCITED!

Dan got home last night and told me we were invited on a vendor Maverik trip this January to Puerto Rico!!! The last several years the trip was to Hawaii, that would have been great, but I will take a trip anywhere! Can't wait till January...just had to share and maybe make you all a little jealous.

Halloweeeeeeen

We use our ginger bread houses at Halloween as well as Christmas. Sunday Katie and Bradley made there Halloween houses. Here is some of our fun.

I like this picture because not only is she licking and enjoying the chocolate frosting but the picture looks like she is wearing it!

This is how it began...

It's not fun if you don't lick a little more...

Ta Da! We didn't' think she would ever finish piling on the candy....

Bradley was very meticulous this year and the results were impressive.

The finished Product.

Very simple, not over stated.
