Do you like SUGAR?

Is there sugar in sugar cookies?  Then YES!!

Thanks to our wonderful friends around the corner we had a fun FHE with a talent show and cookie decorating.  Some of the kids were competing who could come up with the most clever cookie and I think others were competing who could add the most sugar. Logan decorated and ate 4 before we left and thus did not even make his other 2.  Yes, each person had 6 cookies each, so sad to say this was not all we had.

Bring on the Holidays!

The cutest new Wolf Cub Scout you ever did see!

Brad usually sits back and watches, but this year scored some ungrinchable points.



Shortly after this pic taken, Addie and I almost performed an ELF moment,

Oh Boy!

A little gun for a little guy.

Same little gun, different little guy.

This one took a little convincing.

A big guy, and his big toy.

My first time shooting a real gun, hit the target, and kind of exhilerating.

Another big guy, possibly wanting to take up another expensive hobby.
OH BOY!

The newest member

of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.  He said his birthday was a special day, when I was tucking him in bed that night, but he couldn't wait for Saturday, it was going to be even more special.  Just look at those eyes, he just melts my heart. Congratulations little giggles!

Happy Births Day!!

I can't believe this cutie-pa-tooty is 8!  Happy Birthday Taggert!!
He said at the end of the day his day was special, but he can't wait for Saturday because it will be even more special when he gets baptized. AAAWWWW!

Taggert eating his birthday breakfast.  Blueberry pancakes and 2 fried eggs. YUMMY!!



This is my delicious, beautiful birthday cake one of my neighbor girls from YW made me. She is 16 and awesome!
White cake with white frosting and colored leaves, with gumballs and runts for the pumpkins, and chocolate covered pretzels for the fence, complete with strawberry filling in the middle.

A Weee little harvest

I don't know about the rest of you, but our garden didn't produce half of what we planted, except all that dang zuchinni (which I've learned to shred and freeze). But the boys and I always have fun planting, picking, and looking for new recipes to incorporate our produce. This served them two and that's it, with their dinner.

Check out this tiny, little watermelon from our very own garden.
Drexton's head looks even bigger than usual.
