Happy Halloween!

What Beauty Is...

"Beauty is Love Between Two People"


This year Levi, Addie and Bre entered some art for the Reflections contest. The theme being: What Beauty Is. I thought Addie's was quite good! I have to brag 'cause I'm her mom. I thought she might just do flowers or scenery or a pretty girl, but no, she came up with this all on her own. Love between two people...very thoughtful.

Bre's Special Dream

Last night Bre came into my room because she had a bad dream. Her bad dream was that she fell off the houseboat. I thought that was funny. I am glad that no one really did fall off the houseboat with so many little kids and all. However, here comes the special part; this morning Bre told me that she had a dream about Grandma Palmer. She said that Grandma came and gave her a special locket with a picture of the family in it. I asked for more details. She said that we were all over at Grandpa's house when Grandma came and we were so happy. Bre said Grandma asked her about her broken arm and Grandpa told her what happened and that Grandpa took some pictures of them. Bre was only 4 when Grandma Ellen died. I think Grandma wants us and the grandkids to know how much she still loves them and how important family is. We miss her so much! Here is a picture of baby Bre with her Grandma.


Here is our special little Bre with mom earlier this year.

Lake Powell

We had our last Indian Summer vaction at Lake Powell. We rented a houseboat (off season winter rates started after the 13th). It was kind of a last minute trip we put together because the weather was going to be so nice that weekend of Fall Break. We are so glad we did. There was hiking, finding lizards and sea shells, fishing, boating and swimming for those who wanted to brave the chilly water. There were 7 adults and 7 children. It was a full house. I've got a great Arizona Summer scrapbook kit that should work perfect for these pics. I only took 145 pictures. There's so much to do and so little time!

Card Class Fun

Above is a cute little owl treat that I made for my gals I visit teach. On the back it says "Guess whooo loves you? Your Visiting Teachers!" And for below:
Just thought I'd post some pictures from my last card class for those of you who missed it. I am still looking for at least 2 more people to to join my card club. We will be meeting on Tuesday the 20th of October for some cute Halloween stuff! Over conference I made a bunch of Christmas tags. I am going to do an additional Christmas tag class. Tallie saw some of them and said they were super cute!
