Haloween box Caleb made- so cute.... class party with Katie puppy- they had lots of fun together... my Josh monkey had a great time too!!

More Haloween pumpkin fun!!

Funny pictures of Caleb with his best friend, Hunter. They are so fun together- such perfect buddies!

Mariah was playing playdough with Katie... and whala.... she made her rendition of "Katie"!! Isn't it awesome!

Okay- this was just cute! Katie fell asleep on Lady's doggie bed next to the fireplace :-)

Katie borrowed this Belle puzzle from a neighbor... she put it together by herself too- I was quite impressed- there were a lot of yellow pieces that look very similar!

Here is how Toby "the cat" lets Caleb "the Kitty Feeder" know that he is out of water :-) He will actually lounge over the bowl, in the bowl... whatever it takes to draw attention to the bowl.... but, ya know- it isn't because Caleb doesn't put water in there every day.... if Lady "the dog that drinks a lake every day" would slow down on the drinking a bit.... Toby may have more- water more often!!

Josh was part of the "lunch bunch" at school this Novemer- it is a special treat they do... he brought home his placemat and goodies and ate his pizza that night in style!

Shawn and I were coming home from Idaho Falls a few weeks ago- and here was a picture I captured with the camera- I liked it!

This is what Katie did during the flag football season- miserably sit in the cold and watch.... watch... watch........

Here are some pictures from Caleb playing what he loves the most- flag football... anything football is the love of his life (of course he would have to be my smallest child so far.... I don't understand why he can't pick basketball or bowling or something... football?!! hee, hee, heee- He DOES excel at it!

Mariah is the president of her beehive class- she has done a marvelous job so far- here she was getting ready to type up an agenda for their first presidency meeting. They planned several very productive and fun activities~ She is a great leader~ so kind and thoughtful of others

Mariah was in a Christmas play!! She did an excellent job~ it was so fun to watch her! The only part that is kindof yucky- my camera doesn't take good pictures in the auditorium here- So, the "after the play pictures" turned out better than the actual play pix.

Whew- Just wanted to let you all know that I WILL be updating the blog very soon!! I hurt my back- then rushed to get Christmas ready- then Katie got the flu or something- and here we are today- sigh. We are delighted to be in the Christmas season and are so very excited for Tomorrow and Monday. Today is picking up the house, kids time with friends, family games, baths, haircuts, laundry..... I don't think I will do the blog today because I really want to make sure everything is ready for a calm and peaceful Sunday and eventful Monday!! We shall see how tired I am this evening. We hope all is well with each of your families and that you are enjoying this wondersous season as well. We actually got about a inch or so of snow last night- it's a good thing- I just don't understand living in Idaho if you can't even have a semi white Christmas! Our winter wonderland has now begun just in the nick of time. We are now all healthy- and have remained happy! We miss too many of you to name- I, personally, have done a lot of 'remembering when'.... lately. It has been a wonderful walk down memory lane~ Well, ta ta for now- We will be up and blogging again right soon~!

My mom sent this game in a birthday card on the computer~ Josh had a lot of fun (okay, so did I) playing it over and over and over- he got a very high score!

Mariah performed three dances at a basketball game with her dance team- she did great! They performed 6 times in two weeks! Many many more are yet to come- that part exhausts me..... but, she puts a smile on my face everytime I get to watch her.

This is a sign that the children made for Daddy- just because!! Mariah is the one that started the project~ We LOVE our Daddy!!

We had technical difficulty- I lost access to our blog for about 2 months- my internet software protecting stuff would not allow me to access our blog or anyone else's blog either. I have figured it all out and we are up and running again- and I can catch up on other blog updates too! YEAH!!

Here are Katie and Caleb having fun with their halloween costumes- the unicorn kept poking the Pokemon Pikachu with her horn!
