Madison turns 13. Yes, that's right, a teenager.
Happy Birthday, Maddy Moo!

Her favorite and Grandma Kris' specialty, the donut cake.


Madison and
Karley get to try out their new Christmas gifts.

Dustin got this hat for Christmas from
Karley, who found it at a garage sale. Yes, it says PEPSI on it
but that's not all. Look at how truly great it is...

...Shades down...

You don't even have to say it, I know you're green with envy.

November

For Thanksgiving we all got together to share our traditional meal. Joey and his family from Texas, Lizzie and her family from New Mexico, and Becky and her family from California. (The rest of us are still here in Vegas) This is the whole clan except for a few.
It was great to have everyone together.
I was very THANKFUL.

All ten of us.
Hopefully it will be sooner than later that we can take another one of these photos.

The
grandkids minus
Elara and Cami.

I came downstairs to find these one day while we were moving. I read the note and thought it was cute that Dustin was still calling me his girlfriend but couldn't figure out what he meant about the working part(since everyday feels like a hard day at work)
Fresh flowers, old note.
He said he'd found it in the garage while packing stuff.
I love that he found an excuse to bring me flowers and
I love him!

We moved out of this house. I thought I'd need to post about all the things I would miss and about all the memories I would be sad to leave behind. I have none of that. The decision to move was the best decision we've ever made and there is only one thing I miss and that's a tall eucalyptus tree in the backyard.
October

Halloween night we went trick-or-treating with
Francie and her family. Oh the food, the company, and the candy! Quite a night!!!

Getting ready for our ward's Trick-or-Treat party. We were told to make a booth..ours was pretty sad.

Scott as Charlie Brown for
Halloween. That scowl is his Charlie Brown face. Poor Charlie Brown.
