ME

 I try to do things to help myself feel better...like paint my toe nails pink.
 Color my hair RED

And SMILE!

Guess Who?

NEAL





Neal is a BUSY 3 year old!  



 He found the camera...this is just one of his shots!


CAMILLA

 Crazy Hair day

 Shower Time...learning to do more for herself.

Happy 10th Birthday with her Best friend, Camilla Adams.

Bringing Eric's Mom from Pueblo to Payson

 In August Eric and I drove to Pueblo Colorado and brought Eric's mom, Dottie, for a visit.  This was my first time to see where Eric grew up.  This is a photo of Eric near the River that went right in front of the home they lived in.  There is a nice River walk there now.
On our way home from Pueblo to Payson, We stopped in Fruita and visited with Dottie's aunt and cousin.  It was a fun visit.

 Eric, Spencer and Taylor went back in October to move Dottie to Payson.  This is a picture near the home where Eric grew up...or it might be his grandma's house..ha, ha.  I better check.
 Here is his elementary school.
 This is in front of the home Eric grew up in.
 The River walk area.
Another home he lived in.

I should have had Eric write this..maybe he'll amend it some day.  We have Dottie here with us now and are thankful for the help from Chad Argyle, his son and Taylor for going with Eric to bring Dottie here with her few belongings.  We know this is a BIG change for her and hope that it will be a good one for her and us.  We love having her here with us.

Carving pumpkins






Our annual pumpkin carving family home evening.  Neal enjoyed making shapes with help of his dad and then he would put them in and out of his jack-o-lantern's face...he got upset when we told him that it was time to put them out on the front porch..you can see his frustration with us.

Spencer and Porkchop






This last Winter and Spring, Spencer raised a pig for FFA.  He helped to feed, clean pens, give shots, groom etc.  The pigs at the jr. high pig lab.  Then he chose a pig.  He trained the pig for a show and auction.  These are the pictures from the show and auction.  He used a cane to teach the pig how to walk where he wanted him to, most of the time.  He won a ribbon and sold his pig.  Might I say, Porkchop, was very tasty.  Spencer was able to earn some money and he enjoyed spending it over the summer.

We are still here

Spencer beginning High School..10th grade.

Camilla beginning 4th grade.

I haven't blogged for several months. I am having a difficult time uploading pictures on my desktop PC, so I borrowed Eric's laptop to upload a few. We had a nice summer break. Began school in August and now we are looking forward to Thanksgiving in Las Vegas. I am still on tamoxifen and have had to deal with side effects that are bad on some days and okay on others. I've gained about 20 pounds which I hate and hope that I can have the will power and ability to change or else I'm not going to be able to move. We have Eric's mom living here with us now and my parents will be coming soon to stay for the winter months. FULL HOUSE. Eric is busy with his position at Santequin Elementary, he is the Title 1 coordinator. Enjoys the people he works with and it's challenging.

All the leaves are falling...we cut down one tree in our front yard. Yes, it's snowed a few times, but as of today we don't have any on the ground here..we have a wet leave filled front yard!
