We now have 6 grandchildren. I love the ocean and Catalina is one of my favorites places. Blaine loves the mountains and fishing and hunting, he also loves Catalina.

Thorner Halloween Party









The boys are spending the night so we got to take them to the Thorner Halloween party, they had a huge turnout, we literally were shoulder to shoulder, we pushed our way to the front of the cafeteria for the costume contest and luckily a family just got up from eating so we sat down the second table from the front. Papa went to go get the boys some cupcakes. Of course he came back with cupcakes with mounds of colored frosting on top. Andrew had orange and his wings kept hitting people so we took them off while he ate, he of course got it all over his white buzz lightening costume, (don't worry Carla, a little Folex and it all came out) James was the only Bumble Bee but Mega Tron came up up him excited to see another transformer. Andrew was the only Buzz and what a cute Buzz he was. There were sooo many cute costumes and the real Judge Bush was the costume judge, what a tough job. This year instead of having the kids just stand on the stairs they opening the curtains and each grade level came on stage and all walked around in a circle to songs like Beat It, Thriller, Monster Mash and so on. Andrew was in the Pre K category. I walked with Andrew and Papa walked with James. James was a little bummed he didn't win (as you will see in the picture) but that only lasted a few minutes. Andrew was just thrilled to get his bag of candy for participating and before I could say anything he had chocolate stuffed in his mouth. We came home and the boys took a bath and we had popcorn and we're watching Rattatoulie, imagine that lol, the last picture is the end of a long day.

Primary Program

Today was our sacrament Primary Program. James had a speaking part and he did sooo good. He had his part completely memorized and he spoke clearly and articulated his words, then he gave us a big grin. I love him SO much!

Well I was sick and didn't get to go to the fair but Quinn and Grannie went with Devonn, Carla and the boys, Jaz had a fun activity for mutual so she went to that. The weather turned cooler and I was bummed I didn't get to go. I'm looking forward to getting well! Grandfather comes to town today and today is his birthday.
