Priceless Happenings

It's hard to believe my little guy will be two next month. It is also hard to believe that we have been without our Jake for 2 years & 16 days. Steve and Julie let us borrow Jakey's UofU shirt to go along with Del and Josh's costume, when Del brought it home I just started crying because I started to think of Jake and then to Halloween 05 when I last saw him actually wearing this shirt. We love and miss you a ton bud!! I'm still curious what things you told Seth about while you two were together :) Love Aunt Kimmie

Last Saturday we went to Grandma Rich's for annual Halloween Party. The kids always dress up and have a great time. For those of you aren't familiar, Grandma Rich is Del's first wife Tina's mom. They are a pretty cool family we do things with them just as much as we do mine or Del's. Our kids are so blessed to have such a huge family to support them and love them. In the pics, do not be fooled by Del and Josh wearing U of U attire. They are huge BYU fans, in fact that is the joke with this being their costume.

Too fun. We went with Del's sister Cheryl and her family to Cornbelly's down at Thanksgiving Point on Saturday. It was a blast. Josh and Adam didn't get to come with us because Josh was on a date and Adam was working. Did I mention he is a "live" manequin? If your ever at South Towne, check him out in I think it's called Belle Chic. I guess he has freaked a few people out. Anyway, the little ones had a blast. We went through the corn maze, Zoe shot the corn canon, bounced on the air pillow and even got to do a ride on the hay wagon. Cheryl and her family are so much fun. We love getting together with them and just chillin. I am so grateful that Del's family is close by. Here are a few more pics of our grand adventures.

Well, the girls and I got to do a first in quite a while. We tried to have our Brownie Girl Scout recruiting on Tues night and ended up only finding one other girl. It's very frustrating. Zoe wanted to join a troop last year and there wasn't one and the same this year so I decided that we would start our own. You need to have 5 girls at least to get started. Keep your fingers crossed we can find 3 more girls. Anyway....after our recruiting session, the girls and I decided to have a little girls night out. We were just going to go look at a new coat for Zoe but ended up going to Build-a-Bear that was right beside Childrens Place. Zoe got Bunny Bunny a Brownie vest and Emma got a new little friend named "Squirt" the elephant. Emma loves elephants!! I also found a cute little Halloween kitty and decided she needed a home. The girls named her Pumpkin. Pumpkin and Squirt even had dinner with us at Belgian Waffle.

I just wanted to leave a little note regarding the Humanitarian Relief that our church gives. I just had a gentleman call in to work requesting the address for the church so that he and his mother could send a thank you note for the aid that they received as a result of Hurricane Ike. He lives in the Beaumont area and was hit very badly. He was very appreciative of our services and stated that he was also a Christian and believed that we should all be willing to help each other. He has also been driving over 60 miles to help another congregation that was hit harder. He mentioned that he is using the supplies that we were able to provide to help others there as well as to assist with food. He said that we would be amazed at the destruction there, people are literally living in tents. My point of this is that even though we may only be able to give a little through our tithes and fast offerings and also our time, it means the world to someone who has very little or in some cases noth...

My friend Tammy had this on her blog. She always has such fun and cute things for me to find. Thanks Tammy :)

Well, I've found enough of my friends are now doing blogs so thought, hey, I might as well join the fun. Pretty soon I'll learn more of this to start adding pictures and things like that for now. Just thought I'd write in a quick hello :)
