Favorite things

I don't know what it is that makes me like to dress up on Halloween and see what reactions I get from kids at the door.... but I seem to keep doing it year after year : )

 Also it is the National Peanut Festival time! We went with the Young Single Adults from church and had a great time! Hopefully this video will work : )

 This is an elephant ear - basically a scone with cinnamon and sugar on it, that our church makes.

Flat CJ

Emma Jane did this last year and since CJ has the same teacher...
CJ sent me a picture of him as flat CJ - apparently there is a book called Flat Stanley & Stanley goes around different places (they do this around Columbus day, I guess like Christopher).
Just wanted to share some of my pics of Flat CJ.....

Trip to Bountiful in the Fall

Last week I was in Utah to visit my dad. Now that he is 91, my time with him seems more limited and I cherish each minute with him, so if you are reading this and live in Utah - I apologize for not visiting.

                                         Can you spot the Y in this picture?

We also went up to Pam's house for Sunday dinner and celebrated Jane's & Paul's birthday's!

Little Mack loves going to Grandpa!

Anthony is turning 16 today, so Happy Birthday!

He is holding CJ who is now one and walking.

Grandpa and I went to dinner with Ali and family which was lots of fun. She fixed us a yummy soup/bread the night before.

The colors were really pretty this time of year! These pictures were all taken from dad's backyard.

We went and visited mom's grave and put flowers on it. Dad says it always makes him sad to go.

It was great to see dad and I hope I get to visit again soon!

Mobile Time

This past weekend we went to Mobile to visit Alvhild & Brandon and had a great time.  We were a little worried because that tropical storm Karen was supposed to hit while we were there.  Luckily it kind of fizzled out being a tropical storm but still ended up getting some good rain from it on the way home.  I wished I would have taken more pictures....

Brandon had only gotten 3 hours sleep the night before on call.

This was right before we watched a session of conference. Alvhild looks marvelous with her shorter hair!

This is what the weather looked like at 2:45pm just leaving Mobile going over a part of the bay.

When I worked yesterday and was setting up the lab for the nursing students to check off sterile dressing changes, I found this.... : ) Someone had lost their head, but the bed was made nice.

Only in the South

Here is an ad that was in the paper today -

I might just go and check it out....Deliverance is right!

This is a picture that I took when we went to Destin.  Nothing like the white sands of the Gulf-

I drove by the new Osteopathic Medical School in Dothan that opened in August. This was taken on a Sunday - that is why there are no cars.  The housing is right next door.  Pretty nice for our little town.

this was taken through my car window

The Girls

For most of the time at home it is just me and the girls...

Daisy who is six

Missy who is 5

We love watching Bama Football on Saturday's but us yelling & cheering at the TV

throws Missy for a loop.
