What we've been up to


It has been a long time since I posted anything new. I have been really busy and when I get time to myself I spend it with JR. And that is usually just an hour or two every night. This month has flown by! I really can't believe Halloween is this Friday! Gracie lost her fifth tooth while at my Mom's house a couple of weeks ago. It was really loose and she refused to pull it out so it fell out in her sleep and she freaked because she thought she had swallowed it so she woke my Mom up and they searched for it and found it under her bed. Thank goodness! The girls even got to play with their cousin Madie, whom we haven't seen for a while. They made a fort in Grandma's living room and had a good time playing.
This Monday night we had a really fun family home evening. We had a spooky dinner with candles and Allison gave the lesson, with my help. Then we carved our pumpkins and lit them up to see how creepy they were. Allie still refuses to touch the pumpkin guts but she drew the face and then JR carved it for her. Oh and I almost forgot that we went to a Halloween carnival at the school and ate cotton candy while the kids played games and jumped in the bouncy houses. I can't wait to see everyone's Halloween pictures of their cuties! I will post mine on Saturday! I swear!

Those pumpkins are awesome! We didn't even carve any this year how sad is that. It sucks when kids are sick and you can't do anything! I miss you guys and can't wait to come for thanksgiving!

Grandma's Tile Table

Grandma's Tile Table

Tile Table

When my Grandma Johnson's house was being cleaned out we came across some extra tiles from when my Grandpa had tiled her kitchen for her. She loved blue and I'm sure she was delighted when He put up these blue white and brown tiles. Her kitchen was always where family congregated, as she was an excellent cook, and we all spent countless hours there with her and Grandpa. I remember a time when I was pregnant and my Mom and I had driven up to Provo to do some shopping. We talked about going to see grandma before we drove home and I said "Wow, you know I am really craving her apple pie right now! Wouldn't that be awesome if she had baked one today." Well as luck would have it we pulled up just as it was coming out of the oven. She didn't even know we were coming to visit! She had just felt like baking a pie. I have a zillion memories of her in her kitchen and so when her house sold I knew I needed a little piece of something that would stir up good feelings every time I looked at it. Nothing could be more perfect than tiles from her kitchen. So a couple of days ago I finally dug the tiles out and made a mosaic table for my front porch. I love it, and love having a little reminder of her.
