Thank you Jake...

More decorating for fall..


I needed some help, getting the hay from the driveway to the front porch. Jake was a big help! Oh, and Mollie too!

It's begining to look spooooky...

Finally! I thought we had the computer problem fixed on my computer, not so. I switched computers, so now am back! Ohh, how I have missed blogging!

Here we are at the end of September! This month has literally flown by. Fall break starts in less than 2 weeks! Ohhh, how I love this time of year!

break out the decor...

I LOVE this time of the year. It is that time when I want to break out the Halloween/Fall decorations. This weekend, is the weekend! My decorations ar kept in the attic. Everyone around my house knows, I don't go in the attic! So, my sweet husband will get to do that little job for me.

Some of my favorite things, transpire during these next few months. The change of weather, leaves changing color, a nip in the air...finally, blankets, football games, pumpkins, witches, goblins, apples, smells etc. I think I could go on, and on. What are a few of your favorite things about this beautiful time of year?

Remembering...

I was in the kitchen of our Val Vista Lakes home. The kids were getting ready for their school day. News channel 3 was on the TV, as it has been, every morning for well over 20 years. The vivid images, that still remain in my mind, came across the screen. It was time to get going. Time to take the kids to school. The boys to the bus stop.I took the kids to school. When I returned home, I went right to the TV. At that point, I was nervous. I got back in the car, and went, and picked up all of the kiddos. They had just made it to school, an hour or two before. We spent the day together, at home. Safe...our haven.

Hello...

Hello there! I sure have missed my blogging friends. I was having problems, staying connected to my blog. I would sign on to it, and it would kick me right off. I was frustrated to say the least. The problem is fixed now, so back to blogging! :) I have so much to blog about, that has passed. I decided to just start from here, and move forwards. I have a post coming later today. I just wanted to let everyone know all is well here. I hope all is well there too! :)

Beauty and the Beast

Last night Steve, Sarah and I went to see the play Beauty and the Beast at the Hale theater. It was fantastic! The cast was amazing, the costumes were so bright and the singing was beautiful! The Hale theater is located here in Gilbert. The other plays that will be playing this year are...She Loves Me, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and A Christmas Carol. I want to see all three! :)

Well, I better get busy getting things finished for Monday. I just can't believe, school starts in 2 days!!! When do your kiddos go back to school? Are you ready? :)

Steve...

We have had a eventful week around our house. Steve started having severe pain, last Wednesday night. I wanted to take him to the E.R. but he sure didn't want to go. After some timed passed, we ended up at the E. R. around 11:00 P.M. Luckily once he was given morphine, his pain calmed down. He was diagnosed with having gall stones. He had gall bladder taken out Tuesday, the 28th. He has been home, and resting. Today he did go into the office, and did pretty well. I just have to post a picture. He is to cute of a patient not to! :)
