All I Want For Christmas...

Although a bit tardy in posting this, these teeth have been missing for a month. So the title is completely legit (shout out, kat!). All my kids are late losing their teeth, which I've been told is a good thing, and Raleigh finally lost both front teeth. She lucked out both times because the tooth fairy only had $5 bills and up. She has taken all her hard earned cash and opened a checking account with Daddy. He is helping her set up a business selling things on e-bay.
Thanks for the comment, Bo bo! I'm glad to know you are reading. Sorry about the lack of posting! Way more to come baby bro.

IT'S A GIRL!!

Baby Gray was born on November 10th (US Marine's B-Day!!) at 5:02 am. It was a close call; Brady drove over 100 mph to get me there 12 minutes before she came. She weighed 8 lbs 5 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. Life has been a little crazy-the kids want to hold her constantly. She's a doll and we sure love our new addition! Hope you are well.

This is Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!! The kids had a great time trick-or-treating and then going home to dump it out and eat it until their teeth were sugar-coated!! We did all kinds of Halloween celebrating the month of October. Going to pumpkin patches, halloween parties, spooky-story time at the library and carving pumpkins!

Witchy Poo's

Dena, Mom, and I took the littles to Gardner Village to see all the witches. Dena had been a couple times but graciously joined us so my kids would have their cousins to play with. Afterwards Mom took everyone to Artic Circle for square pumpkins. Such a fun day! Thanks ladies!

Elephant Parade

The circus came to town a couple months ago and did a "preview" parade at the gateway. Dena met me down there and the kiddos watched the elephants, clowns, etc. The kids were stinkers but it was fun. Maybe next time the circus comes to town, Uncle Logan can take them!!!

blogging?

Logan I dont even know how this thing works, I imagine this is like one of those facebook wall posts....Austin is sick of the Army Accident Avoidence course... It is this stupid online thing that takes forever..gotta love the Army, so I moved out last monday little guy, my new place is sick and I live with Kory. Its quiet and real close to my work.. Be safe brotha

Austy

If this doesn't scare you...i don't know what will.

Let me explain what these are. Back up. Let me explain about Raleigh's Baby Alive Doll. In her mint condition she was creepy. Were you there the Christmas that Mom gave her the doll and when Raleigh unwrapped the gift the dolls eyes slowly open and she says "Hello, Mama"? yikes. Well, over the years this doll has been through it. Her skin is stained. She has been given numerous haircuts that have left her looking like one of the saddest cancer patients I have ever seen. And, her mouth is stuffed full of old baby food. Can you just picture how utterly scary this doll is now?

Well, a few nights ago I walk into Hollands bedroom and catch her taking pictures of the doll and her.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this doll rivals Chuckie in ratings of pure evil and scariness. You should be an expert on this, Logan. What do you think? And to top it all off...I don't even know if these are Hollands eyes or Chuckies spawn known as Baby Alive.

General Conference

We did our traditional morning session breakfast at my house this year. Thanks to the new playroom in the basement the kids ate and settled in downstairs so the grownups could watch conference. Lots of good talks this year! Hopefully you can check them out online. If not let me know and I'll send you the conference edition of the Ensign. We went to Mom & Dad's for a yummy dinner of navajo tacos. We miss you all cuddled up in your blankey on the floor! Keep safe, little bro! p.s. do you notice we still havn't replaced the broken light cover on the chandelier from when you whipped it with a licorice rope?

An Affair To Dismember

This year Brady and Dena hosted our annual murder mystery party. It was super fun! Yummy food and great decorations! Thanks B & D! As you can see Brady had to play a girl role. Don't be fooled though. He enjoyed every minute of it. He kept "forgetting" that he had a skirt on and continued shocking everyone with his mangina. Good times! Hopefully you will be home next year to join us, LO LO!

Keeping In Touch

I was trying to think of a way we could all keep in touch with Logan and keep him involved with the going-ons of our family. And then it hit me. A blog! For years I have made fun of people with blogs (although I do enjoy a good blog-stalking session) but I must now eat my words. I think this would be an excellent way for everyone to let Lo-lo know what's going on back here at home. So, I will email the sign in and password to everyone so that anyone can get on and post about whatever they want Logan to know about! I love you all and hope this will take off!
xoxo, big sis
