This little beauty will not leave a headband on anymore!

So, I tried a curler for the first time...

 

Not as cute as the flower,

but I am excited to be able to do a little more with that flyaway hair.

Who's cute?

Missing pics

Val found my missing SD card. YEAH! Here are a few happenings that I wanted to post.

 Went canoeing by St. Anthony on a cold day. My mom is not the best swimmer...

hence the life jacket. Stylin'!

By brother Justin (who is serving a mission in India) sent a package with some native goods.

This is Jack in his hat. I got a Muslim dress which will probably be my Halloween costume.

Last month we caught a day at the fair. Val and I both rode the Fireball, and Jack rode the carousel.

The boys on this very large Percheron. Roy is 5'10" to give you an idea.

I think that the humongous horses and the 1 ride we went on were the best parts of the fair for me.

Oh, I guess I did enjoy the food, too. YUM! Afterward I wanted to ban fried foods for a month!

Its always fun when family is around. We love Grandpa Eddins!

4 years ago...

I love to think of that great day, the weather was perfect, no rush, good food, and lots of dancing.
Time has flown by with two kids, two businesses, and lots of fun.
What more is there to say than
I love you!

Val's Big Day

This is what Val got to do for his birthday.

I'm sure this is what he would have rather, if it were warm.

He is a great dad, works hard, and plays hard.

He loves a good adventure (soapboxing & kiteboarding to name a few)

and doing things with the family.

Best of all...

he is the light of my life.

I love you, Val!

6 months old

This little darling is 6 months old today. Where did the time go?!

She looks so little in the high-chair,

gags on her cereal,

gets mad when I walk by and don't pick her up,

can stand up to things,

and crawls!

Her favorite place to play is under the desk.

Jack calls her "Bya" because he can't say his L's

She has two very sharp teeth

I have spent many nights sleeping in the recliner, ugh.

The ladies at the grocery love her sweet smile

She's a keeper!

Fall Frenzy

Jack and "Gampa John" playin'on the trampoline

We are slowing down now that fall is here, but it also brings other things to keep us busy. I have procrastinated many projects that may have to be added to "Next Year" list, and trying to get to the have-to's. Val is in harvest running the cross-over (Idahoan for a tractor that digs spuds, oh-I mean potatoes).

This was our campout with the Eddins before school started. What a silly family!

Kids with their edible playdough.

Bella bundled because it was FREEZING!

It was a busy summer, but lots of fun! I can't believe that it has turned cold again already.

We had a lot of fun at the fair, but I can't seem to find the memory card with those pics.

Happy Fall!
