How lovely is a box of crayons? Crayons and I have had a relationship for about 26, 27 years now maybe even longer. It is an on and off relationship but I never forget about crayons. When I hear crayons I always smile. Today I had a little reminder of what it felt like the first time I met crayon. Linkin got his first real 48 count box of crayons.

His response "WOW, there is even tan! VIOLET!! They even have gray!"

How amazing to have all the colors of this world in your finger tips.

Dreaming....

I wish I were napping...however I have a list of things that need to get done.

Today Linkin and I had the chance to go up to San Jose together. He had a doctor appointment so we had the afternoon to ourselves. We went to the doctor and then headed to Santana Row. We had lunch and then headed over for a little treat. We went big today.

After our treat (ben and jerry's) we headed over for a big game of chess! It was fun!

We summed up the afternoon by fufilling one of Linkin's dreams. We added a member to the family. We call him Peter Pan, Fisher, Jerry or Pirate. Whatever sounds good at the time. We will see if anything sticks.

He couldn't be happier with his new fish. He told Seth he never needed to play the iPhone again he would be too busy playing with Fisherman Jerry Pan! Haha. We will see how long that lasts.

It was a great day!

Sadini

I have know for a long time that Sadie was...well....active, curious, chatty, fun, smart, cute and a wonderful addition to our home. What I didn't know was that she was....Sadini....while I was driving in the car today.





Where do we go from here?

Happy Halloween!!

We had the pleasure of having Shaggy and Lady Sadie at our house this week! They both looked GREAT!

They both got to wear their costumes to school. Linkin's class did a parade for the whole school! He loved it. He had a special visitor, Kris was able to make it over and watch him. That really made his day. Sadie got tons of treats from her school and was happy to go with Nanny to a special lunch at Pops work. It was a great Friday. Saturday was great too. We went to our ward trunk or treat and then headed out for some trick or treating around the area. Sadie enjoyed passing out the candy and standing at the door yelling "Happy Halloween!!" So much fun!

We carved pumpkins! Linkin was very concerned all week about carving pumpkins and getting his pumpkin carving kit. We decided to do them Friday night so they were nice and fresh for Saturday. We all had a great time!

I have one more to add.

Pumpkin Patch With Nan And Pops

Nan and Pops (Kris and Don) came with us to the pumpkin patch this year! How fun. The kids did lots of jumping on the jumpy house, we saw lots of animals, we picked out a few pumpkins and even got to hold a rabbit or two. It was a great evening. Yay, for Halloween!

Snail Family

We pulled up our Tomato plant right after the rain. The ground was wet it was the perfect time to clean our the garden. In doing so we found a lot of new friends. Linkin had a blast out there! Here is what he found.
