JUST ONE MORE ASSIGNMENT BEHIND ME!

One of the reasons I love Arizona is for the beautiful sunsets! I couldn't resist this last night... I was on my way to the performances of our roadshows and saw this beautiful thing. I guess you might attach this to my post by saying I am over with this assignment and on to the next...as this time in my life closes another something always arises hence I know the sun sets and yet another will arise...I was asked to do our roadshow about 6 weeks ago or so for our ward and let me tell you it has not been an easy task for me! But all in all was so rewarding as I saw these kids enjoy themselves and develop and then perform. They were awesome in every way. I did forget my camera, as I had a lot to remember... so therefore you are only seeing me when I got home with a prize! Some friends are supposed to email me pictures later... I will post then.
Now bragging a little... our show got " best musical number" and I received this for being a director! I must say the stake roadshow specialist did say "she thought ours was the best" That made my night and I forgot all the agony one goes through to put on one of these productions and work with a "bunch" of teenagers!

Busy! But Still Enjoying Fall Activities!!!

Once the weather cools off, I usually start baking some... and of course these are fun to do and most enjoy eating them!
My pictures for this post are a little backwards but you'll get my drift, I hope! Last Saturday we went to Time out for Women at Phx Civic Plaza.. Jeannie on the left was with me, she is good friends with Jenny Jordan Frogley..She has an amazing voice! I had to get their picture together!

This young lady was sitting behind us with no camera, she wanted her picture taken with Jenny too! I thought it turned out cute. I emailed to her.



These next two photos are for my daughter LoraLeigh!!! She loves Hillary Weeks' music, I couldn't resist getting these close ups for her... Hillary was so sweet and I told her "My daughter loves her!" She was so nice.



Her performance was soooo great, Especially loved her song : "He Hears me" And one I had never heard before, "If I only Had Today" Loved that one!



We really got great seats, we were on the front row as Jane and I are tall and like the leg room. Here we are again with Jeannie, Jenny, me and Jane.





The "Happy girls day out" We so enjoyed the day and look forward to next year!







This was one of our Sunday meals with my sweet mom and dad, Kiff and Pete. We played a game of password after dinner (of course.)






MY ONLY 2 TRICK-OR-TREATERS!!! 2 Darling clowns (Camdon and Marcy)









I love to decorate in Fall colors!!! Had to get a picture of my door! Christmas will soon be around the corner....meanwhile I sure am enjoying November and the cool Winters here in the valley!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TODD ON NOV. 10TH!!!

Here is Todd in his office in Austin. He worked very hard to get his and Laura's office up and running! He designed and built and decorated and how it shows... He and Laura did a beautiful job and take alot of pride in their practice.
A few years back with his 3 kids, Luke, Savannah and Paige.

Todd always loved numbered shirts, anything to do with sports! Here he is in one of his "favs"Dallas colors and all...look at that smile!


This was another one of his favorites! The "gold and green" as in Show Low Cougars!!!



Another birthday awhile back... with his sisters, LoraLeigh, Melissa and his buddy, Preston holding Kiff.




He's still playing "hoops" after all these years.. You are still young and handsome! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, son. We love you!

HAPPY FALL YA'LL! (Have a safe Halloween too)

This takes me back to the Halloweens at our house! Marcy, Todd and LoraLeigh! We grew the jack-o- lanterns that year, they grew so big and pretty! Our 3 little "pumpkins" were growing too!
Caden sure was a cute pirate that year!

I am sure Kamrielle is wearing her Halloween sweatshirt this week to pre-school!

My Silly Girls

Sorry, couldnt get this one turned the right way.

A Few More...

The main reason for this post was because I was posting Marcy and the boys picture from Mexico... Jaron was ready to get out of his button up shirt when we said we were taking pictures (this is the reason for his Enrigue Iglesias look).
Here is a cute one of Savannah...
This was so precious of Carder, had to post!
One night on our trip, the kids wanted to paint mustaches on so Aunt Marcy started doing one, then another... they had a ball! This is Savannah and Trevon. If you click on the Marcy and Richards blog you can see a hilarious video of them as " Mr and Mrs. Mustache!"

Camdon enjoying the heck out of that popcicle!
He sure enjoys the beach and really relaxes there...
All of us that went... but Vinnie the picture taker.
We look funny in our garb!
LoraLeigh the volleyball player...she couldn't resist inviting herself into a game of people playing. She enjoys volleyball when and wherever she can. I love this picture because Vinnie came out of our villa with the baby to watch and there he is in the rear of this picture watching his wife.

OUR MEXICO TRIP!

It's all about the kids right??? These family reunions are to keep the cousins knowing one another! I think the 7 we took really got better acquainted and had "beachy time"!
I unfortunately caught that stinkin' mexico bug one can get while visiting... but better me than anyone else. Hope you all enjoy these pics that I posted tonight....love, mom/grandma
Our cute Wyatt family already for church on Sunday.
The sun was going down and I mean fast...by the time I could grab the camera it was about gone! It was very cool to actually be able to see it... some of the prettiest sunsets I have ever seen.
Thinking about my wonderful family and the good times that are ahead for us all! Still lovin the beach and sun after all these years.
This is the front view of our "villa" with 2 pretty daughters and our grandson in front. It was so nice and very comfy for all 12 of us.
Enjoying a stroll on the beach..Trev, Marcy and Kamrielle.
More of the gang and our stroll..
Savannah loves to twirl on the beach...can't think of a more wonderful place to do her thing!
Oooo la la!! The cute lovebirds of our group! We have a wonderful son in law!

Already for the beach at least I was...the girls are waking up still.....
Oh yes, we had TV and Vinnie loved it! Cute Carder in the foreground.
It came up a bit windy from a hurricane in the south of us... but we still had fun, me and my girls.
Love you Jaron... I hardly got any pics of you, so glad we got this one!
I absolutely love this photo.... Caden and his baby brother.


Looks boring to me but they enjoy and that is all that matters..too bad no one got a picture of us and all our password games!
Me and my sweet grandson..Trevon.
Dad and his cute girls!
And yes, we found our good friends, Jim and Tamra there... We have had such wonderful memories with them thru the years... We are so glad they came too.
I totally love this picture of handsome Trevon.... He is a sweetie.
Here are the sleepy travelers the morning we left. Wake up Savannah!!!
Dad and Marcy in the sunset,,, they are sooooooooo pretty and go on and on thru the evening.
The beautiful ocean and boats we so enjoyed watching from our back door.
Dinner in town... (probably where I got my bug) who knows?

The famous "popsicles" Sometimes I think we go down there just to eat popsicles! Pete loves them. Vinnie and Camdon buying some.
