The youth in our ward put on a carnival for the primary kids tonight. Lil' Natalie was so cute with her wig and tu-tu. I love having a girl. Halloween is going to be so much fun!!! I didn't get any super smiley pictures so I guess I will have to dress her up again and have a photo shoot.

Happy birthday Timmy!!!

Timothy's birthday was on Saturday. We went to the homecoming parade, and then went to his birthday party at deleta. The cake is inspiration from family fun that Jim and I did together. Timmy had a great time with his cousins. That evening I went to a fun costume party with the Ghouls, and Jim took the three kids to the homecoming game with my dad. I sure love Timmy. He seems to have gotten over the "I'm not the baby thing," and really has been a fun kid.

Cutie Patutie

Jim and I both love this picture. When Jim saw it he said "Oh what a cute picture, except for what is that on her head. Boys? Sometimes they don't understand the necessity of big hair things.

Wesley loved helping me peel the apples as I canned apple pie filling. He also loved helping grandma pick grapes at Jon and Monica's house. It looks like Jim almost got lost in the jungle of grapes vines.
Believe it or not this is grape juice. I think it turned out so pretty. Jon and Monica called and said we could have at their grapes we took em serious and ended up with over 22 quarts of grape juice. It was hard work but its fun since Jim and I do it together. Thanks Jon and Monica. This picture is to show Cindy a two quart jar compared to a one quart jar.
Here is a sample of our fall activities. So far we have canned apricot jam, pickles, salsa, grape juice, apple pie filling, pears, and peaches. We still have a few things left to can from our garden, but it looks like we're almost done. Yeah!!!
