Christmas is COMING!

Wow! How did December go that fast! I am so glad to be off of school and home to get stuff ready for the holiday. I just hope we don't all kill each other. We are ALL home this week which hardly ever happens except on Saturday. Pray for work! I wish he had some.
So Nathan just came down to me and said "mom, what should I wear today?" I said "It doesn't matter wear whatever you want out of your drawer, we are just getting things done at home today." He said, "I can wear anything, even if it doesn't match? Yes!" He is quite the crack up lately. I really should document more of his silly things because I know I won't remember them. I guess I should focus on his cuteness and stop getting after his naughty behavior so much.
Here's to a great, PRODUCTIVE, happy day for us and anyone else who needs my good luck! My dad has always told me "Lis, if you didn't have BAD luck you wouldn't have ANY luck." So take that for what it's worth! Have a great day anyway, even if it's not what you want it to be! :)

What are you thankful for?

This past weekend, like most of you, we celebrated Thanksgiving. I didn't take any pictures but I have taken a few minutes to think about some of the things I am thankful for, sure there are the regulars: family, friends, food, home but I thought of some others. I am thankful for a washer and dryer in my house! We have been without for almost 3 weeks because we are finishing a bathroom and tiling our "new" laundry room. I am thankful for a husband who can do these projects around the house even though he drives me ALMOST OVER THE EDGE when he does them because HE TAKES SO LONG! I am thankful for a job. Even if it drives me crazy to be so responsible for the future of children sometimes. I am thankful that I CAN work to help out my family. I am thankful for cute children. I am so thankful that I have a GIRL and a BOY. Sure I would like to have more than one of each but I need to remember how lucky I am to have 2 healthy children. I have truly been blessed. Most of the time I feel undeserving of 95% of my wonderful blessings. I am also thankful for blogging and facebook. That sounds weird, I know but it is truly right up my alley to check up on people whether they know or I am stalking them. I think blogging was made for people just like me. In my life I don't always get to spend time with my friends or even ever see them but I get to read their blogs-late, late at night in my pjs with tears streaming down my face sometimes. I want you all to know that I have really appreciated reading your blogs. I know that we mostly all blog about happy things but I know everything in life isn't all happy but you have made me remember to always remember the good parts of my life. How was that for a run-on sentence? I really don't know why I am being so sentimental tonight----One last thing that I came to realize I need to be thankful for is LIFE! You know this weekend when I was thinking I thought-- we are all here striving for the same thing, we all want the same thing in life, we are all aiming for the same goal. I don't think anyone ever wakes up in the morning and says to themselves "Man, how can I make someone else's life HELL today." We are all just trying to get to the end of the day, doing our darn best to be happy and although we all have a "little junk in the trunk" by darn we all have so much to be thankful for. It is so easy to think you are the only one having problems or the only one fighting inside to be happy or hiding something major, everyone has problems!!! If not--- your turn will come so be careful how to treat others and by darn like I always tell my kids "JUST BE NICE." We never know what people are going through. I hope you all understand what I am trying to say in this post, I have never been so good with words. I want you all to know that I truly believe everything I have said. Heavenly Father loves us and knows what we are going through! Love you all! Good night! Take Care- know I love you, Lis

late, late Saturday night

Any given late, late Saturday night or very early Sunday morning you'll find me in this same situation. DOING LAUNDRY!!!! I don't know if I resent this weekly task or enjoy my late nights alone. My house is fairly quiet except for Adam snoring loudly in the background and usually CSI playing in the background for noise mostly. I have decided that I have something seriously wrong with me. I am obsessed with clean clothes! I am finally admiting that I may have a serious problem when it comes to nicely ironed clothes. I have to iron EVERYTHING! I have gotten away from most t-shirts and I am not crazy enough to iron underwear or socks but I admit I have seriously had to stop myself from ironing a sheet or pillowcase once in a while! Okay, now that I admit it shouldn't that help people understand why I ALWAYS have a mountain of ironing on my couch in the family room, there really is a very comfortable couch under there, I think. It's been so long I can't remember really what color it is. Okay, I think I remember it is black. Someone please help me I am lost under the HUGE mountain of never ending laundry/ironing and I want to get out. I have tried to not pay attention to whether or not EVERYTHING EVERYONE in my house is wearing is ironed but I can't. I have even tried that wrinkle spray they make. It doesn't cut it for me. Is it really a sickness? Is there medicine for it? My mom has the pharmacy, I could get the prescription tonight. I need some justification for this obsession. It is taking over my life. I really don't hate ironing but I mean come on 50-75 items every Saturday night? That's not including my time during the week. I bet I do about 50 items during the week too. Someone please help! Is there anyone else out there like me? Please tell me I'm not the only ironing obsessed lady.

Phew!

That was a lot! I am happy that it's complete! I even have 20 minutes to spare until the weekend is officially over. Just like always, I made it! I hope you enjoy my pictures. Sorry I'm such a slacker. I will try to be better but I won't make any promises! Hehe! :)

September 2009

I LOVE Sunflowers! Some see them as a weed, I love to see them growing of the side of the road, in my backyard, anywhere! I think they are beautiful. I have always wanted to take pictures with them as the background so this year I finally did!

August 2009

We started our month of August out with some wonderful visitors, Adam's brother and his wife and children. Randy and Katie, Regan, Max and Ashling came from Louisania for a month or so. We had lots of fun with them. Doing lots of fun things like cousin sleepovers, pedicures at home, horserides, tea parties, playing horses, 4 wheel rides etc etc.

Like most of you our highlight of August was Back-to-School. Being a teacher BTS time is a whole other story so I will skip all the gore and just do my kids as if I wasn't a teacher.

July 2009 continued

This July we went to Yellowstone with my side of the family for a few days. I'll be honest I was a little worried about how it would all play out because I don't have a very good record when it comes to family gatherings but it went very well. I was pleasantly surprised that's for sure! We went off by ourselves for most of the time but we had lots of fun. We saw the regular things in the part but we got lucky enough to be at Old Faithful at the same time as the other gyser "the beehive" go off at the same time. The park ranger told us that Beehive is much bigger than Faithful but Faithful is more well, faithful so that's why it is more famous. It was truly awesome to see them both at the same time.

July 2009

July was way too packed with events for only one picture so sorry. Here are a few.....

The Fourth is always a big hit at our house. After the wonderful-little-hometown-USA parade we always head to Provo for the annual tradition of the Stadium of Fire. My family has been going for 27 years, I think. I don't think we have ever missed one. Including the popular, sold out show last year with Hannah Montana! We are fans that's for sure!

On July 13, 2009 my life as a school teacher changed immensly! My school caught on fire. We are now smashed in another school here in town and all I can say is that it has been an interesting few months. Ups and downs, it's all been a challenge! I am at a loss for words to as what to say about this in a few sentences so I'll just stop!

June 2009

May 2009

Our highlight of May is always Nathan and Adam's birthdays. Nathan on the 3rd and Adam on the 5th starts our month out with a bang! Party time at our house that's for sure! Nathan was determined that for his party this year he would like to have a bonfire and roast hot dogs at Grandpa Bleazard's house. He had been collecting sticks and garbage with Grandpa for months. Well the big day came and it poored rain all day! It had been raining all week too! The bonfire was out! Much to Nathan's disapointment we had to move the party to the school gym. We took our BBQ grill to grill up some hot dogs and watched a movie on the gym floor. It turned out pretty fun actually! Make lemons out of lemonade, right! We sure love our boy and don't know what our family would do without him. How is it that one little kid can make you so happy and so angry and so frustrated and so loved all in one day! That is Nathan for sure! We sure love you, buddy!

April 2009

The highlight of April was probably Easter. Grandma and Grandpa Bleazard have a tradition of buying the kids a new Easter outfil for church and we, like any thankful parent, welcome any gifts from Grandparents! For Easter we just did our regular stuff which is Stansbury Island with the Bleazard cousins and Easter sunday dinner with the family too. It's horible but I can't remember where we had Easter dinner this year but I know it was enjoyed!

My one-a-month highlight post!

Well I am burning th e midnight oil, like I always do, so here is what I have decided to do to get "caught up" with my past 6 months of "picture starvation" on the blog. I will do one (1) picture for each month. If I can hold to just that it will be a miracle that's for sure! Well, here goes nothing!

I'm awful, I admit it!

If I admit it openly does that make me a little bit less of a HUGE blog slacker? I will get some pictures up and do a decent post this weekend I promise. Not that I think anyone even will read this, I'm sure you've all given up on me long ago.

Just wondering...

I'm beginning to wonder if anyonw ever reads my blog anymore. I never get any comments, except for from Colleen, thanks Colleen. I am thinking I need to get one of those visitor trackers so that I can track you stalkers that never leave me a comment. I need some communication with the "outside world" and if you never comment I never know you are there. Please someone please comment. I guess I should put up a few pictures maybe that will get you? Later-

School

We'll I got to go in an get a few of my "personal" items. Wowwie cazowie- that was hard! I didn't think it would be easy but it was so weird. I took a few photos so I could remember my old school but I haven't taken them off the camera yet. Maybe I will get them up soon but I can't promise anything. It's time to get moving on school! I don't know how I will ever be ready in time. Usually it takes weeks being there night and day but this year I only have 16 days. I don't know where to start because I have NOTHING! All the stuff I brought home has to stay home-can't ever go back to a school. I have 1000s of books, probably at least 60 books on tape or CD and tons of other teaching stuff. Maybe I should start my own homeschool. I don't have any bulletin board stuff at all, couldn't take ANY of it because it was too smoky. I guess it's off to Utah Idaho I go. I wish I wouldn't have spent that gift certificate that a student's parent (thanks, Allison Ferguson!) gave me last year. I could have had $50 to use towards all of my new stuff. Oh well, maybe I should start one of those jars at the gas station. You know those jars when someone is needing help. No, that wouldn't work. I guess I will think of something. Take a big deep breath and get to work!

I love you, Antelope!

Years ago, I don't even know how many, Adam said "I love you, dear!" And I answered back "I love you too, Antelope!" I think this is how it all began. Now we have a joke about it and it has turned into a game. I just wanted to do a quick post today to tell my "deer" antelope hubby that I love him! Today is our 14th anniversary! I can't believe how fast time has flown. Yet it seems like I have been with him FOREVER! Not in a bad way but we have been through a lot and have worked it out together. Here's to many more HAPPPY ANNIVERSARIES! I love you, Adam! Thanks for putting up with me and all my little (and sometimes big) problems. You are a great dad and for the most part a great husband. I wouldn't trade you for all the tea in China. Maybe all the gold in China but I don't like tea anyway! I love you! Here's to a better year!

Feeling Frustrated

I am so frustrated! Have you ever been in a situation that you just don't know how to feel? Well, that is how I am tonight. School fire has got me down, way down. I just want my stuff! Not even all of it, just one book that I wrote a story of my aunt Val in called "Our Heros." And one of her files that has her handwriting on it. Is that too much to ask? My wonderful aunt Val is truly my greatest hero. She passed away just over 4 years ago. When she died, since I was the teacher in the family I got most of her teaching stuff. Where would you put that kind of stuff if you were a teacher? In the school, huh! That's where it all was. Hundreds of books with "this book belongs to Miss Bleazard" in the front, hundreds if not thousands of files of her awesome teaching stuff, all of her good teaching stuff. Luckily or unluckily I gave all files that I didn't want to my great friend Shelly McKeever, whom I teach with, which means it's all there too! Wow, Oh wow I really want her stuff! I think I would be okay with them keeping ALL of MY things if I could just have those two special things! My Hero book and a sample of her handwriting that's all over her files..... Anybody want to stage a break in? It would only take me about 30 seconds inside the building cause I know right where these things are.....anyone, anyone?

Okay, I just wanted to prove to myself that I could do it! I think I may be able to figure out the "add a picture" to my post now. I will do more later I've gotta go break up another fight!

We're still here!

We are still here enduring the rainy days, keeping busy and having fun. We are off to a little mini-vaca tomorrow morning for lots of shopping in Racine, WI. Adam and I are going to a buying conference for my mom. I love to shop so it should be pretty fun. Now here's hoppin' my feet hold out. I just went to the doc this morning and he told me I have planters effaciaitis. That to me translates into TONS O' PAIN! But at least they are cute, hurting feet! (See the photo above.) More when we return! Thanks to my dear sister who is watching the kiddos. Nathan woke up with the flu at her house this morning :( Thanks, Laur, for taking care of my sick boy! What a wonderful sister I have. I'd bet you're all jealous.

I confess!

Okay, I confess I am addicted to blogging! I love it and it loves me, but I suck at it. I love to check everyone's blog, almost daily, but I have to admit something here. I hate it when I check back day after day and you haven't posted for a day or two. :) Then I got to thinkin' Lisa, you have no room to talk. I really don't have anything worth blogging about going on right now. I must admit we are going through some really hard, yucky times. I have to remind myself that "This too shall pass!" I have to keep that in mind daily as a mater of fact. I do need to remind myself that we all have our health, we have a house, for today anyway, and we have two, mostly beautiful children. Things aren't too great for us on the homefront lately. Pray for us and I promise I will try soon to get some new photos up here. I am feeling like I need to explain. I think we will be okay, but it's not something you want to post about. Just keep blogging for me so maybe someday I will be inspired enough to figure out how to do it well for my own blog.

Thanks, prom go-ers!

Last night was our high school's Jr. Prom and in small town USA that is a real big deal! I just wanted to say thanks to those of you juniors who made prom happen this year. Last night during the promenade (that's a big deal even for the whole town to go watch) I was sitting there with my dear sister in law, thanks for going Stace, and Maddie and got to thinkin'. Prom was such a HUGE part of High school and such a big deal. As I sat there listening to all the junior's names being announced I got a little teary eyed. Not only because a high percentage of them were my students, my second year teaching, but if they only knew what a little deal in the whole scheme of life they were living they would make so much more of it. Does that make sense? My point is that high school things that were such a big deal at the time were really not that big of a deal but oh, so important in shaping the rest of our lives. "This is the time of our lives" was the theme for the prom and isn't that true. Any time of our lives can be the time of our lives! Every choice, every good or bad thing we do today will shape us tomorrow. We need to live EVERY single day like this is the very best time of our lives! Easier said than done most days though, huh!? I am so thankful that I went to the prom last night. I know it sounds weird to say but I needed it! Those juniors that were out there having "the time of their lives" had no idea that they helped their old second grade teacher pull out of a crazy "winter time" funk that I have been in for about 6 months. Thanks, guys! You will probably never read this post or even care about it if you do but it sure was theraputic to write it down. And everybody who does read this take a lesson from this song "This is the time of our lives." Sorry, no pictures because you all know that I don't know how to download my camera and Adam is having a Sunday afternoon nap. {NEVER wake a sleeping bear! :)}

Spring Break! YES!!!

We don't have anything all that fun planned and even the things we do have planned will probably fall through, that's how it always goes, right! But even with nothing really planned I can't even tell you how excited I am for a little BREAK! I should get some picts up here. Maybe tomorrow I need to get to bed. It's almost 2 AM!!!

I not dead-yet!

I have been very sick for the past several days. I am not dead but at times I would have liked to have croaked! I have an infection in my colon! YUCK! Without being too graffic let's just say the toilet and I have been very, very good friends. We've visited more than 30 times in 24 hours. I hope this goes away very soon and I can get back to regular life. I'm getting board of lying in bed and my family and my house need me! Adam is trying but you know how men are! I hope to get some pictures of all the other stuff we've been up to after I feel better. Maybe in a week or so, the doctor said. See ya!

Get outta this funk would you?!

I have to admit that I have been having better days than that one from the last time I posted but come on! I have been in this "funk" for weeks and I can't shake it. I need sun, but Sarah's leaving town so I can't go to St. George, Logan's too cold and they just got more snow, and the bank says I don't have enough money to get myself to Salt Lake! I'll just retire to my scrapbook room. Ahhh! AFTER my grades are all caught up, this is the end of the term, AFTER my house is clean, oh yeah my house is never totally clean, and AFTER I dig out and make a path to my desk in my scrapbook room. I will have to work on that elephant one nibble at a time. Wish me luck!

Anyone out there?

I'm home with Maddie, who is sick today, so that's given me a little time to think. Has anyone ever had a day when they feel so small and insignificant in this big, old giant thing we call life? What is it all about? Why? It is so crazy to me that sometimes I feel like this because of course I know the answers to these questions but today I'm pondering... I know what I believe is true but why then do I feel so small? I don't really LOVE everything in my life right now. I'm not sure if I want to teach school forever more, I really want to have another baby- or do I? I feel like no one would even notice if I fell off the earth. Someone else could teach my class, someone else could do my laundry, someone else could raise my kids. I feel really confused today. Please don't read too much into this post-I'll be okay. I just need to know that other people have these kinds of days too. Anyone?

what!? you took my picts off the computer!

I thought I would get on here tonight and make a new entry but my sweet husband just informed me that he took all my pictures off the computer. He has been trying to "FIX" my computer to make it faster. I have faith in him and know that he will adventually do that but my children may be grown and gone by the time it gets all finished. I know how I'll get him to do it faster... use your imagination. Keep it clean now. No clean clothes to wear, no dinner, no clean house oh wait a minute I don't do that for him anyway. I must come up with something else...:) Got any ideas?

Come one, Come ALL!

I have been having such a fun time blogging with all the rest of you I want more visitors to my blog. In a world of everyone else going private, I'm going PUBLIC!!! Just for a few weeks though. I will be opening it up until the end of February. If you visit me or "Blog Stalk" me and want to be invited back after the end of the month please email me @ lisageldmacher@msn.com or leave me a comment here. If I don't get an email by the end of the month (and there are only 28 days in this month) I will have to block you back out. I don't want to block out ANY of my friends just the freaks that are out there. :) Thanks!

You know you're addicted when..

You know you're addicted to blogging when you think in "oh, that would make the cutest blog entry" moments! I have thought of so many of these over the last few days. I will hopefully pin Adam down sometime this weekend to help me download a few pics. For now, have a wonderful weekend!

where did it go?

Where, oh where did the month of January go? It seems like this month has gone so fast but it also feels like an eternity since Christmas. How can that be? I have a few picts to post here but first I have to figure out how to download them from my camera. What you say, Lisa, queen of scrapbooking does not know how to download pictures? Well, folks I must confess I do not know how.... Adam does it all for me. I know I could figure it out and I know he has taught me several times but you see I have a problem. It's called sitting still long enough to read through an instruction manual or to listen to directions. So until I can over come this problem of mine I'll just beg and have to wait for my dear ol' hubby. Maybe tomorrow because it is FRIDAY!?!?!?! I wonder if all school teachers love Friday as much as this one does?

Sixteen of my Christmas Favs

1. Nathan as he went into wake up his sissy on Christmas morning. They did both sleep in a bit which was very nice. About 7 ish Nathan came into our room, like he does every morning, cuddled with us and about 8:30 he finally said "Mom do you think Santa came to our house?"

2. A Christmas photo shoot in their new church outfit is always my favorite. My kiddos don't think it's all that fun though. Nathan especially. We did get a few cute ones though.

I guess I don't need to describe all of these photos... They are all of Christmas morning or of that photo shoot. Which was really on New Year's Day...:) They didn't want to do it on Christmas and they wouldn't stay in their clothes any longer after church so at least I got it when I did. Oh, i guess there is a couple different pics one at my dad's on Christmas Day and one at Adam's Mom's on the 27th. Okay, well there is my "catch-up" now I just have to get January caught up!

Still catching up!

I am still trying to catch up from all the lost time. I will be done after one more post. I will do that other half of December tomorrow, hopefully. Thanks for reading! If you know of anyone that I should invite tell them to email me at lisageldmacher@msn.com and I will add them to my blog since it's private. Have a great week!

1. December is Maddie's month! It started out with her Christmas dance review on the 5th. She did a really great job. She is quite a little dancer.


2. Madalyn made the most important decision of her life this month. She choose to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints. We are so happy that she choose to make this important step in her life. I don't know whose crazy idea it was to have her baptism the day after her birthday... It all worked out despite the STRESS it caused! Why do I do this kind of stuff to myself?


3. After the baptism we had a family party at our house. She opened a few birthday presents from the family.


4. A long standing tradition at Grantsville Elementary is for the 3rd graders to preform the Nutcracker. Now this isn't your every day school program! We go all out and for weeks, literally, that's all we do. (Low test scores, who cares we have a cute Christmas program!) Well Nathan was my backstage helper while Adam did the filming for us. Note the outfit Nathan picked out. He came home from daycare and changed into his "handsome" outfit that he was determined to wear. It was hilariously not handsome! Oh well he's only 4 and he was backstage most of the time anyway.


5. This is Nathan and my nephew, Marcus after the baptism. I told the two of them to be really careful and spill the red punch all over my carpet (so I could get new) and they did it for me!!! Not bad enough to justify new carpet though, dang it! My new Rainbow vac got it right out, darn vacuum!


6. Some of the 3rd graders at the Nutcracker. We had 216 kids in it this year!


7. More of Maddie's dance recital. It's too bad she's so tall and always has to be at the back because the girls always watch her but it makes it kinda hard when she's in the back.


8. More family party. It's amazing how big our family room stretched out for the fam. We were a little nervous about space but didn't even use the living room, we all fit in the kitchen and the family room. Maybe it's like the story of the loaves and fishes. We had plenty of space and lots of food, despite my worrying about it. By the way the sandwich platters from Costco are super easy and yummy if you ever need to have a crowd.


9. For Maddie's friend party this year we decided to stop trying to pretend that she doesn't have a birthday 6 days before Christmas and embrace it. We had a Christmas Birthday Party. We decorated gingerbread houses and made Christmas bracelets. We had lots of fun. This cute girl with Maddie is Hannah McKeever. She is a sweet little girl!


10. Nathan got to visit with Santa after the dance recital.


11. This is how excited Maddie was when she opened up her present with her MP 3 player in it for her birthday. I think she likes it, what do you think?


12. More of the 3rd grade Nutcracker. I didn't say this, but this could be the very last year for this long standing tradition. 27 years!!!! is long enough, I think. We'll have to see what happens.


13. This center picture is obviously of us at Maddie's baptism. I still don't know why the camera made the picture blury like that, but I think it is a nice touch. Thanks to all of you who made the trek in the snow and bad weather. It made the day extra special for Madalyn. She will never forget her wonderful day. I pray she always remembers the commitment she made this day and always keeps those promises she made. I know she will always be truly happy if she keeps her membership sacred and continues to let her testimony grow. I have seen what can happen if you let satan take over. Please Maddie know that your Mom and Dad are very pleased and your Heavenly Father loves you very much and will never leave your side. Always be worthy of having the Holy Ghost with you because he will help you through anything. Mom loves you! Congrats again! Hold your testimony up high. I hope you always know that the church is true.
    

Anyone out there?

Is anyone out there? I have finally updated and nobody has commented in two days. Please tell me that someone has cared to at least look at my accomplishment? Thank you!

Here's our November 2008 in a nutshell... or a collage!

Center picture: We spent Thanksgiving in Jackson Hole Wyoming. This is us in front of the Idaho Falls temple on our way to Jackson. top left corner: 1. What fall would be complete without a few leaf raking pictures? 2. Maddie looking in the store window at a Christmas village. She was most concerned about a piece that wasn't working correctly. Does she have a little OCD or what? 3. Thanksgiving dinner at a wonderful resturant in Jackson. 4. In front of the famous Jackson Arch made from antlers. Do we look a little cold? We were FREEZING! It was like 7 degrees. We were waiting to see Santa arrive. (go down)5. A beautiful winter scene on one of Adam's mystery shopping trips. This one is in Roosevelt, Utah, out in the middle of nowhere~! 6. Adam and Nathan waiting for Santa in Jackson, freezing to death. 7. Me with two of my girlfriends that I teach with, Shelly and Leslie. We went out to eat on a Friday night and had lots of fun! 8. Maddie in front of the Idaho Falls Temple. We used this on her baptism announcements. 9. Nathan in the leaves. I encouraged his sister to do this to him, just for the picture of course! 10. The NASTY results from vacuuming with my new Rainbow vacuum. Isn't it gross?! I don't really have a dirty house it's just that good a vacuum. 11. All bundled up again waiting for Santa at Jackson. By the way, the others in the picture are my mom, stepdad and sister, Savanna. 12. A couple of great friends, Maddie and Edie. (Her mom is Lesile from above, a friend I teach with)

Wow I really did it! I also just looked at the clock and realized that I'd better get to bed since I have to go back to school early in the morning. I'll do the other collages tomorrow! Good night!

Okay, I've finally come up with a plan to catch up. I made a collage of the months of October, November and December. So here are the highlights of our month of October.
Starting in top left:
1. A cute cowgirl on Halloween. Maddie came up with the idea that they should be a cowboy and a cowgirl this year so I went along with it because it was very easy!
2. Since we live in the same town as both parents we get to see lots of family on holidays. This is the kids with Adam's mom.
3. A cute cowboy that's tired of pictures, but this shows his true personality! He's not fond of pictures. I get lots of the top of his head!
4. It's always been Adam's "job" to carve pumpkins with the kids. I sure don't mind because I hate the smell and feel of pumpkin guts!
5. Who knew it took so much concentration to carve pumpkins?
6. Cowboy and Cowgirl at Grandpa Bleazard's on Halloween.
7. My sister came down from Logan to take her girls trick-or-treating in good ol' Grantsville. Aren't they the cutest kids ever?
8. I love to decorate for the holiday, ANY holiday! I tied these metal spider webs to the curtain rod in my living room.
9. He grew it, picked it and now got to carve it. He couldn't be more proud of himself!
10. I'll tell you what I have the cutest nieces in the whole world. This is my brother's baby, Megan. She makes a pretty cute mermaid, doesn't she?
11. Nathan's daycare class decorated some cute little pumpkins for our local pumpkin walk.
12. Here is my beloved shelf. I look forward to decorating it differently every month or so. I take pictures so I can do it the same the next year but I have yet to follow it!
13. Another Grandma picture on Halloween. This grandma is my mom at her pharmacy here in town.
14. I thought these little witches that I make with my class looked so cute up there.
15. One more of my cute little Cowpokes!
16. An awesome event this month was Nathan finally writing his name for his teacher. Those in his class who could write their names got to go on a special field trip to McDonalds. He waited to do it until the very last day to show us that he really could do it. He has a bit of a stuborn streak in him, I don't know where he got it! :)
That's our October in a nutshell, I hope you enjoyed. This is kinda fun!
