GREAT giggles!

My Favorite Child and Her Brothers

Shay looks cute in glasses too, he tried on Garrett's old ones

Garrett and Shay thoroughly enjoyed making Dracula's Dentures, Lori's tollhouse contest entry-- after 2 helpings, Garrett's blood sugar was only at 160--I was relieved!

Alyza is a pretty princess

Happy Halloween!

More Famous Lori

Lori got to be on the news for her "Dracula Dentures". I couldn't quit smiling, watching it. Check out her blog, she has the videos on it:

In other news, Rachael's baby boy #2 will arive Monday via C-section. Can life get more exciting?

Amazing Chef Lori

Hey, my sis is so cool. She entered in her delicious invention to a Nestle Spooktacular baking contest and is a top 10 finalist. She could win $2500 if she gets the most Facebook votes. I told her she should give everyone who votes for her $20, but I don't think that is happening. You can vote once a day till Oct. 28. Check it out!

Here is the link:

Good luck Lori!

She will also be on the news tomorrow morning, KPVI. Her interview is at 6 a.m. I'm not sure if she will sign your baby though. You'll have to ask her that yourself.

Deep Question

Elder Hales visited our stake in June and asked every family to dedicate their homes, by the power of the priesthood.

I have been studying "dedication" in the scriptures, and when a temple was dedicated it was often accompanied by a sacrifice.

That made sense to me--if we want our homes to be dedicated to God, there are certain things we must sacrifice--but what?

Coarse language, PG13 movies, computer time--what do we need to give up to keep our homes dedicated?

A penny for your thoughts?

Shay 3rd B-Day Whovillation

Top pic, #1: Our neighbor kids, the Gibbons, who walk w/ Garrett from school to home. Garrett's best friend is "Little Sammy" (who is really not so little, we just call him that so we don't confuse him w/ Uncle Sam).
#2-4: Shay's B-day bash. Had an all day celebration beginning with candles in pancakes and M&M's on them. Later, bought a bag of balloons and had cheap entertainment with them--although one popped when he fixed it w/ his tools. Went to lunch w/ Gpa Boyd, had his favorite dinner of taco meat and chips, and was soooo excited for cake and gifts with everyone. Got great gifts including a few toys that can be used for garages for all the wonderful things he loves: motorcycles, his new combine, etc. He also got the soundtrack for 7 brides for 7 bros. Garrett got the movie for his b-day and they both LOVE it. It is hillarious to hear them sing the songs. This is why I video-ed Shay and Garrett singing "Sobbin Women" today. I am going to try to upload it, but it is long, so it may not work.
