Thought I'd share a few of my Halloween decors. I made this little trick or treater guy years ago and have had a lot of fun with him. Once Chad and I got the bright idea to set him up on grandma B's front porch on Halloween night, rang her doorbell and hid around the corner. She fell for it and talked to him and tried to get him to come inside. It was hillarious. We finally were laughing so hard she heard us. No treats for us that night-but it was funny!I love this little witch. Gets me in the Halloween spirit.

I found some great Fall color leaves on the mountain and made up a couple of Fall vases.

We all went on a fun weekend camping trip on the mountain. After a yummy dinner Aaron regalled us with tales of Ghana around the campfire.
Grandma and Grandpa rode up from town on their 4 wheelers and visited our camp. Earlier Randy, Aaron and I had riden our 4 wheelers to the top of the mountain.

Aaron returns home after serving a 2 year mission in Ghana West Africa

It's so good to have Aaron home, if only for a short time. He'll pursue his military career, but for now we'll enjoy him while we have him with us!

We had a fun trip to Orem last weekend. Most of the gang went to State Wrestling. Me-I was armed with my plastic and hit the Mall! I swiped and shopped for 2 days-it was great!

Nate and Randy enjoy some 'guy talk' over breakfast. I believe Dad and his boys had a great time at the wrestles. We really enjoyed Shane and Kyle who came up from Las Cruces. They drove with us from Monticello to Orem and Kyle kept us in stitches most of the way. He and I watched videos while Papa and his dad visited in the front seat.
Kyle and Abby cheese it up for the camera. These kids played hard all weekend.

This is the Bracken smile I love most!

Brooke and I had a great visit. She's a special woman and I love her dearly.

What a fun weekend we had in Las Cruces! We had fun getting everyone together for this pose. We just wanted to play! Michelle has some cute pictures of the baby that'll go on her blog. I'm not the world's best picture taker-I get busy playing with kids and forget to click the camera. We did have a wonderful visit and were treated like royalty. Shane and Michelle took us out to lunch at a great Mexican restaurant. We played games all day and laughed and the kids got tickled by Papa, and they put puzzles together and we loved and kissed and squeazed them all. Little Brett is much smaller than he looks in his pictures. He has the cutest, defined features and is such a peaceful little guy. How I loved holding him and staring at him. It was great to see Lisa, as well. She has been a tremendous help to Michelle. I must say Michelle was amazing. You'd think the baby was months old not just one week old the way she's up and around. I hope we didn't wear her out too much. Thanks to all of you for a wonderful weekend and sharing your special family with us. We love you all!
Braden and Kyle were so funny and cute. They kept us entertained with their antics.

Aleah enjoys her spaghetti dinner-we all enjoyed the yummy dinner Michelle made.

Addy loves salad! She's very adept at feeding herself and refused to eat if I tried to help.

We're grandparents again! Brett Shane Butler was born Jan. 5th. Can't wait to snuggle this newest family member. This makes 14 grandkids all together: 8 boys and 6 girls.
