On Nov.2nd our lives were turned upside down,our neighbors condo caught fire it happened during the dinner hour, so thankful everyone was still up.The fire started in the garage and spread very quickly, our neighbors children had to be dropped from the upstairs window.Our home, at that point was still intact smoke damage through out,however 7:10am the fire broke out again in our attic, so they took off a great portion of our roof,used a chainsaw to open a door way at the top of the stairs, opening it up to the neighbors upstairs.We lost both bathroom,all the floors were burnt and more smoke and now we get to add water,So I just put a few pictures up.

this was the" AM" part of the story!!

We where able to get a very nice room at the Riordan Bed & Breakfast the rates were fair and it came with a grandson who give lots of kisses and hugs.We have been blessed with a wonderful daughter and son in law who, I might add has moved me more times in the past 3 years(he is my favorite) Our Bishop, ward family and friends have been wonderful lots of hands helping us and wonderful prayers on our behalf .Our Bishop placed a call to his son who owns some apts and an answer to prayers he had one, it had been in the paper for 2 weeks and not one call.You would have to live here to know how rare that is,homes to rent are hard to find.
We are getting settled and are grateful for the blessings in our lives,family and friends old and new,Thank you.

Halloween Fun

Laurel entered her Frankenstein in the pumpkin contest at her ward party came in 2nd place!!!!



This poor witch was a display at K-Mart she had no eyes and a tear in one arm so I adopted her from the candy isle,bought her some eyes and good as new all of my grandsons thought she was super neat.


Austin ...he had to be coaxed a little.


Chase was the last as you can see he remove her eyes first thing,he's holding them!


Chase giving away a hug!


Seth on Halloween night as you can see he was a fireman.


Samuel, he was over Wed. before going to the Library trick or treat however Laurel was right back he fell asleep on the way there,so they went to the 12:30 time slot instead. we got this pic just before they left the house,Now tell me does he look tired to anyone out there?






Austin at his school "Vocabulary" parade.....looked like a Halloween parade to me but then I'm just Grandma what do I know!!!!!!

Corn Maze

On our way to the Great Pumpkin patch the kids were so excited and as you can see by the smiles so were the adults. We all had so much fun picking out just the right pumpkin,Alma found one so big all he could was roll it (my camera was dead )so hoping Cami was able to catch him, so cute.My blogging skills are lacking even though I called on Laurel for help, for some reason she could not fix my messy blog over the phone so all the pictures are here, just not where I wanted them! Enjoy!
