my House for Halloween

Here is my house all decked out for Halloween...my favorite bit is the new fence!

Boo Cuteness

Here are some pics of the latest Boo cuteness.  All of them food shots *laugh*.  So here they are:  Her first use of Chop Sticks (which she loves and uses all the time now), out for ice cream and having a huge marshmallow.

 

 

Rag Doll Days

Life is made up of good and bad times, yet I think that there are points during which life feels very much like a rag doll that has been flung about, chewed up, and left outside in the cold and rain.  This last week was definitely a Rag Doll kind of week. 

A number of things occurred which have brought sadness and a "little black rain cloud" over my life.  Yet through all this I feel peace and a growing determination to be creative; to embrace living.  I hope that as I recover I can reorganize my life and find a great deal of joy in doing small things.

Through it all my daughter and husband have been amazing.  Just when my mind would start to over think or get all tied in knots my little 3 year old angel would say or do something that reminded me that life is simple and good (even in the rag doll moments).  The hugs, the pats, the "are you okay?"s from both my husband and daughter helped me to know that while I may feel left out in the rain I am loved.  Besides anyone who knows me knows I love the rain. 

A Dusting of Red

I looked up the mountain side today and found that fall has begun its descent into the valley.   Within the Uintas the deciduous leaves are turning ruddy in the nigh time chill.  It's a peaceful feeling in some ways.  Like hot coco after a long cold day.

It is no secret that I enjoy fall most of all the seasons and I hope that time year we have a good long one.  I could use a season of peace.

Birthday Week

Boo's Birthday week is upon me and I'm sick.  I have a sister (aunt) who will be here tonight and my mother-in-law will be here Friday.  I have a house to clean, a bunch of cup cakes to make and I've not even gotten a gift for my little girl.

  If anyone reading this is interested in getting Boo a gift go with books - level one readers.  You know like "Dick and Jane" One sentence per page with big letters.  Also size 3T pants (no jeans) and size 4T shirts.  Paint by numbers.  Those coloring markers that only work on the special books they come with. stickers.

There you all go.  Pictures will follow.
