Fall is HERE!

 The biggest cat I ever saw. I went Visiting Teaching and this cat spent the whole hour rubbing it's head on my partner's leg. It was quite hilarious ....to me. ;D

 Fish are JUMPING!!

 Filer Wildcats and their mascot. Buhl Meet.

 Best Race EVER. Ellie cut 3 minutes off her time. Wahooo!

 The kid's all got new fleeces for a chore prize this week.

 Ellie's amazing GREEN Eggsperiment for School.

 Barry and I came down to Utah and went on a date during the Saturday session of General Conference. We drove over the mountain from Paradise to Eden. It was Gorgeous. Neither of us had ever been their before. It was really neat to be able to listen to conference. After we got to Eden we drove back up to Logan and went to the Olive Garden and a short visit to see Grandma and Grandpa Pate. I got some beautiful pictures of the awesome colors up on the mountain, but they are on my camera.

 Owen got his fork stuck in my cheesecake, trying to get a bite... so I decided to just give it to him. :D

 The kid's had a fun time at Grandma's while we were away on our date. They made haunted houses.

 We came home and went TREE shopping ... and goat shopping. Pictures coming soon. :D

Ellie's last xcountry meet today. It is FRIGID outside, but she is NOT afraid. ;D

Time Passing.

 My Dear Sweet Grandpa Stuart passed away this month. I will miss him dearly. He was everything a Grandpa should be. I hope that I can follow his amazing example of kindness, generosity and goodness.  I love you Grandpa!

 The leaning tower of Peachas!!
Okay. There aren't really any peaches in the boxes. When I emptied a box I sent it away to the children to play with in the sun room. It was good to be done. There were 5 more boxes in the kitchen!

 Ellie at the Filer Harvest Invitational XCountry Meet.  Her she is with her friend Lili.

 Emma got some 'new" skates for a reward for getting her chores done. She couldn't be cuter.

 Fall is HERE and time is passing so quickly. My little munchkins are all growing up.

Owen's Ducks

Owen got a package in the mail this week.  He was over-joyed. 

 HE was soo cute and gentle with his new pets.

The Ducks are growing and growing and are in the pigeon coop outside now. New pictures coming soon. 

Eleanor turns 13!!!!!

 Our Little Ellie Bug turned 13 at the beginning of September! My how times flies when you are having fun. :D
We are excited to see how far she'll FLY. She is an AMAZING young woman.

Eleanor had a xcountry the day after her birthday, so Grandma and Grandpa came up to celebrate Eleanor with us. They even came and picked up  from the highschool afterwards. Grandpa then took her to Walmart for a buy-ellie-anything-she-looks-at-extravaganza! It was a FUN to have them over to help make Ellie's birthday special.

 Incredibles 2 pre-ordered for her birthday. I took Ellie and her best friend to the movie theater to see this long awaited movie for her birthday present. She decided she had to own it. :D

 Ellie going to her first xcountry meet on her own.

 ELlie's fantabulous birthday cake ...made by none other than myself. He he he.
Ellie was getting home until late on her birthday, so we wanted to have a cake all ready for her. She received decorating supplies for her birthday and made the cake beautiful with her mad decorating skills.

 Gifts from her siblings.

We sure love you Eleanor and COULD NOT do without you!  You are a HUGE blessing to our family.
