Employment!

The last couple of days have been COLD!
I mean wind blowing all day, no sun, frost in the mornings and even a little snow!
Its so different for me to be in conditions like this. Blake says to me this morning (in response to me talking about the cold) he says, "Ya know, it wouldn't be so bad f this was as cold as it got..." and im like "WHAT?! It's gonna get worse!!!" Aw shoot! I am in trouble!

Since it has been cold we have been doing things like this...
Yesterday Blake had the morning off so we took advantage of some family time!

Notice we are all still in P.J.'s and we had soup for lunch, so fun!

We really have to take advantage of the time we have together now since BLAKE GOT A JOB!!!

He is your newest Walmart Associate!
He stokes shelves in the grocery department :)

We came out here think school was going to be most of Blakes time but soon found out that was not the case... not for this semester anyway's. We have been so spoiled having him around almost all the time! Now we will be lucky to have him around AT ALL. Bitter/sweet. We decided it would be easier in the long run not to have so much "debt" in student loans when we were done with school.

The kids have so much fun playing in all the leaves!
Betty has agreed that she will pay us if we can keep up with the falling leaves. So far the leaves are winning... by ALOT! Betty has many MATURE trees on her land. They really are kicking our trash. We got up and racked this morning, and now you can't even tell where. But it is kind of fun. (that might sound weird but it is)

AND AS PROMISED...

The girls costumes...

Maycee was a cowgirl. I just used a picture from this summer's reunion...

Just imagine her with a pink sweater underneath, and no cute hat. (she destroyed it, the stinker)


And Lydia was a DOLL! Well actually she was a bunny, but she was as cute as a doll...

Here you have to think of warm costumes cause its so chilly in the evenings. So what I did was just add some bunny ears to her... I don't know what you would call it but its really puffy and really warm...

... and a bunny tail of coarse!


I think she quite enjoyed it!

You have the cutest family. All smiles. That's the way it should be. Those poofy jumpers are essential for winter. Cute, cute, Halloween costumes.
P.S. Still waiting to hear about when you're coming to AZ...
