So much!

Remember when I used to blog? Ya, its been a while. Its been so long that my background somehow expired and I can't get it back! Oh well. Here is our life since July. Charlie turned one in August. He is such a fun little chunk o love. That is his nickname in fact. We had many parties, he was spoiled, learned to walk one week after his bday, just like Lulu, but didn't start getting teeth until just last month! Cody turned 33!! Old man. We moved to Mantua. That was our 9th move in almost years of marriage. Grrrr. Fortunately, the house we are in now, I LOVE! Its 130 years old and has so much character. And the rent is cheap enough that we can afford to save for a down payment because the next time we move, we are buying and NEVER MOVING AGAIN!!! I am so tired of moving. We celebrated Halloween, raked a lot of leaves, Lulu started a new preschool, the twins turned TEN!!, and then had Thanksgiving at my parents this year. It was a lovely dinner, great to see family, we were planning a ski trip with my Pa Rich, my mom's dad, and then exactly one week later, he died. We are having his memorial tomorrow. My heart is breaking. He was such a funny, clever, whitty, decent, intelligent, kind human being. I am sad that my kids won't get to know him as well as I have. The twins have taken it really hard. He was so easy to love. I'm very grateful for my knowledge of the Gospel though, and that I know that I will see him again someday. But anyway, here are a few catch up pictures so I don't feel like my life is completly passing me by...

Lulu's new haircut!

Chunk loves our kittly, Louie. Maybe a little too much...

I am obsessed with this little guy; he has my heart.

My babies both have their own vaccum and love to help me clean!

Bath time! In a real tub! Another reason we love this house.

I ran over Lulu's kitten, Dorothy. This is while Dorothy was on her way to kitty heaven. Lulu cuddled her. I sobbed.

Raking the leaves in our yard from the BIGGEST tree in Mantua.

Little monster got into my lipstick!

Belle and a dalmation

Seriously? How cute is he!!?

She loved getting dolled up for her Belle costume

Cody and I went to the Davis County benefit gala. I was a flapper while he did valet parking. It was a great date night.

Hurd annual Halloween party

And last but not least, my sweet Pa Rich. I love you forever Pa!
