Mecco and Katie

MarJean and Darrell's granddaughters Mecco and Katie are spending a lot of time with their grandmother right now while their parents and Grandpa are working long hours to finish up the fall harvest and prepare the ground for spring planting. One of their favorite things to do is go to the nearby park in Buhl to play. Here they're sitting on the tank which is a favorite feature of the park.

Snowing last Saturday

Last Saturday and Sunday it snowed. This was the first real snow storm for Brandon that he can remember. Yes, it would snow in Maryland but it wasn't the fluffy cool snow we have here in Utah. As soon as we showed him that it was snowing he had to get his coat on and go outside and play. Luma wanted to go out too but she had surgery on her foot and couldn't get the bandage wet (Poor Luma).
Brushing the snow off...
He had fun catching the snow on his tongue even though we told him that the snow was dirty. I guess he thought just the snow on the ground was dirty.

Birthday Bash

Thanks Janice and Jason. The Birthday Bash was a lot of fun. The food was good too. Chris downloaded some of t he pictures taken to my computer, but I couldn't open all of them. These were good though.

Back from D.C.

We did a little sight=seeing while visiting Rich and Jo. Here are Brandon and Mary Jo on the back porch of Mount Vernon. This is Mary Jo and Brandon standing by the Pentagon memorial bench for the youngest person killed there in that cowardly terrorist attack on 9-11

Boyd took this one with me in it. You can see by the different shade of blocks where the Pentagon was struck. This is Mary Jo, Brandon, and Boyd outside the Mary Sarratt house.

It was a great trip and we had a good time. We brought Brandon back with us and he has talked to mommy and daddy every day by phone. He's gone outside to check on the pumpkins a dozen times each day since he got here. His favorite thing to do inside is swim in Grandma and Papa's big tub.

It's a happy birthday blog

Everyone is invited to my house Sep 28 for cake and ice cream! We're celebrating Nate, MJ, Calton, and my birthday. If I missed anyone I'm super sorry. I'm wracking my brain and I can't come up with anyone else. I already have some dairy/wheat free italian ice for Dad and Sharon. There will be normal icecream too. I'll bake a cake or buy one. We can watch a movie. We have a new tv. It's not as big as Mom and Dad's but the room is big enough to fit everyone!

Post a reply if you can or can't come. I'll call those of you who don't reply. I know where you live and I know your phone numbers. You can't escape. Wha ha ha ha
