Halloween

I won't even try to catch it all up, but it was a great summer! Even better fall! We had fun decorating the house for Halloween. Scott is such a great guy! He spent all day helping me get pumpkins, calling the neighbor and asking for corn stalks and helping me put them up.

He took the GRE test for the master's program on October 24th and now just has till the middle of December to wait to see if he is accepted. Then Halloween came and I spent the afternoon watching our neighbor (my second story window looks right down on her backyard, sorry, Wendy) paint big cardboard boxes. As I kept watching, I couldn't believe what she was making. It was so cute! So I made sure the girls came over so I could get a picture. How cute is that. There is plastic over the opening that you can't see. And a little opening under the "B" where you put the candy. Three girls from tennis came over trick or treating, they had great costumes, too! People are so creative! We're working hard on the sewing room, Scott is coming through for me again. Hopefully, pictures soon! It is over 60 degrees today! Loving it! Last but not least, this is the quilt that I made from scraps I had for Bryce to send to Chile! Congrats to the Navarros on the new baby (I hope I have their name correct, it is from memory so we know how that goes!).

Still thinking

I haven't forgotten that I was going to start a blog. I started . . . and then nothing happened. I have mentioned it briefly to a few people but won't tell them the site. I would like to add to but have a great hesitancy to do so. My niece-in-law, Mackenzie asked, why do we blog? and I'm still considering that and if I want to jump into that ever increasingly sized puddle. I'll keep thinking and maybe as summer wears on (or finally begins now that it is almost July) I'll come to a decision.

First Time

Everyone is doing it, so why not me? It is going to be an exciting summer and I should document it for posterity's sake. I'm going to enjoy my last few weeks with a child and then more children at home. Brock just turned 18, graduates this week and can't wait for real life to begin! He has some exciting opportunities awaiting and is lucky to have a job waiting for him for the next few months. Bryce is finishing up spring semester in the next couple of weeks and will return home for a few weeks before beginning his junior year at BYU. Brad has 7 weeks and 4 days left in the Virginia Richmond mission and we all can't wait for his return. Scott and I are going to have three kids in college. Whoever thought this day would come?

LIFE IS GOOD!
