Hurry-up and wait!:)

We did what ever we could to keep busy, and not think too much about missing Thomas




So it started with the graduates, Chris and Andrew, and a visit from good old friends (Tiffany )
Followed by a very patriotic Veterans Day!!






Than some food and fun at both Joel and Esther's houses!







Of course we had to have a girls weekend with crafts, dinner at Bucca's, and family dinner at Aunt Tricia's house. The kids had a great time enjoying the "best day ever" with Uncle Jeff and Grandma & Grandpa Biggs.












Of course it was all topped off by a Beautiful Thanksgiving Feast at Dawn and Cory's place. With a Thankful Wreath, games, bonfire, train, crafts and Lots of food!!


We loved having Steve and Amee in town and enjoyed watching the light ceremony at the temple. Diesel was a great little guy to be around.





The kids loved meeting with old friends, and enjoyed a little play time and pizza with adopted "Aunty Teresa" and the boys Louie and Tom-Tom!

Family photos were a must do with Steve, Amee, Diesel, the kids & I in town. They turned out great, and it was the perfect day!









Finally our busy, but mostly incomplete month (without Thomas), comes to an end, and soon he will join the picture and be reunited, as he arrives, and the waiting is over... this very night!!Happy Holidays ahead.... we love you all!

October Daze


"Red-Rover, Red-Rover, send those little ones over!" Was the best game to play at the Very Merry un-Birthday party that Mary organized for all of the cousins.

Of course Lindsey and Hyrum were the final members of their line, but they loved having everyones attention while they ran for it!
Decorating their own Party Bags and filling them with prizes after each game was a great way to keep the kids involved, and each leaving with a "gift," of their own!
Decorating their own party hats and cup-cakes is just another easy way for the kids to enjoy every minute of the party!


Of course we played a little ring around the rosy, and blew out the candle on the cup-cakes!

Here's the whole gang!!
It was a great Party!!
The rest of the month found us very comfortable, enjoying time with grandpa! Here you can see that Hyrum was always comfortable!


Than came the Primary Program!!
Mary wrote the kids into her wards primary program since we missed ours in Mexico!
They had some help practicing, and did a great job in the program!
The kids were looking festive in their new harvest colored Sunday clothes!
Than the girls (and grandpa) got to relax with a Ladies Lunch!
I made my mom's enchiladas and was glad to see they were made well enough to do my mother proud, and leave the pan nearly empty!

Kirtlyn perfected her kick-boarding skills in Grandma's warm pool!
Maya made many great memories with Grandma!
Than came the Great Pumpkin Thomas Biggs! (there is something I love about this "close-up," pumpkin picture that little Thomas took!)

Grandma was an expert pumpkin carver, even with the kids crowding her!

Maya Susanna had a very Healthy month! She weighed in at 13.5lbs, and officially moved on to size two diapers... go Maya!!
Dallin did not know what to call his costume, he just put on what ever looked good. However, I am pretty sure he is the King, from the Burger King commercials!
Gotta' love that Hyrum.
And Allison made the Best Radar from M*A*S*H that I have ever meet! She is one cool lady, especially with a little Maya-pumpkin-pie on the side!




Happy Harvest Everyone!

Happy Halloween

We were lucky to enjoy Halloween in Safford this year. The kids really soaked in all of the good times with their cousins!
A costume parade at Dorthy Stinson.
Snow white, Dracula, Black cat, Batman, Ariel, and Buddy the elf looked great for the event!!
Here are some Beautiful girls enjoying a Beautiful October day!

Maya was wickedly cute, and Kirtlyn too!

Batman Thomas, and Buzz Light Year Carson were the perfect super heros!
Hyrum and DeWitt just looked great in their hand made costumes. DeWitt was Peter Pan, and did a great job assembling it! Hyrum was an elf, and I paid someone else to do a great job assembling it!!:)
Lillian made a great scare crow, with a little Maya from the pumpkin patch!
Heres hoping your Halloween was a happy one too!!
