Rachel

 

Old Time Pictures

 

Today I was trying to take pictures of Rachel (she was dressed in a cute outfit my sister Melissa gave her) and Madeline and Aliza climbed on the couch because they wanted pictures too. I actually got one of ALL three of them looking at the camera! I think it's a first. Since none of them are smiling it looks like the pictures from the olden days. I did get some pretty cute ones of Rachel too. Thanks for the outfit Melissa!

New Windows!!!

 
 
 
 
We got our new windows put in on Thursday. I cant believe the change it's made in our kitchen. It's warmer and we can see much better out of our windows.

Happy Day

Today started out to be a SUPER day! On Tuesday this week I started an aerobics group in our ward. When we lived in Provo I went to a stake aerobics so I've wanted to start it here and my wish came true! On Tuesday we had 6 people come! That made me so excited because it was the first day! Today was another successful day teaching the aerobics. It makes me feel so good to be helping myself and others get in shape. That was at 9:00 then I got home and the window guys were here putting in new windows! I'm so excited to have a warmer house the winter! And then to top everything off to my great day today it was BEAUTIFUL outside! Since our house was "under construction" I didn't really want to be here with the girls so I decided to visit Jared at work. We went to the park right behind his work and had a great time. The nice weather puts me in a good mood so easily! I just love it! I really have such a great life and I feel very very blessed.

Fall

We have been enjoying the greatest weather this past week! I'm just loving it. The girls and I have been going on lots of walks and spending lots of time in the back yard. Thanks to our big tree we have TONS of leaves to rake. The girls had a lot of fun playing in the huge pile of leaves that Jared raked. I think that fall is my 2nd favorite season. I love spring the most because everything is coming back to life, but fall comes in second because the weather is so nice and the fall colors are beautiful. I am a big fan of all season though so I'm glad we live in a place where we have the changing weather.

Halloween 2007

The family went around Harrison Blvd which is famous for the reasons listed below:
1. Wealthier Homes (better candy)
2. Older Homes (a spooky atmosphere)
3. Popular Location (lots of people there)
4. Criminal Safety (a lot of police on patrol)
5. Traffic Safety (Volunteers with stop signs at busy streets)
6. Efficient Gathering (everyone is out on their porch, so no need to even ring/knock at the door).
7. Decorations Galore (like Christmas, but with goblins)

Jen said it was her favorite Halloween ever, like those in her dreams or on the movies. Madeline loved it, and as soon as she got her candy was practically running to the next house and had no patience to wait around. Aliza was just happy sitting in her stroller eating a dumb-dumb sucker. Jen and I were not dressed up because we didn't know we were trick OR treating in Boise.

Carving Pumpkins

 
 
 
 

We carved pumpkins on Monday night and had so much fun. Madeline had a lot of fun drawing on her pumpkin, and as you can tell the girls thought the guts were pretty yucky.
