I love the seasons of fall and the crisp, cool air.

I love to look at new houses for fun. One Saturday I went to Saratoga Springs and went through many model homes. Today I went into two model homes here in Lindon, Utah but they were for retired individuals 55+. They were custom built homes and very beautiful inside and they also have a nice basement. I love to see the different looks and the interior design.

Today is September 16, 2008 and I just looked at my e-mails and read some that my mom sent to me. I then went to Sara and CJ's site. I'm so sorry about the damage to your house. I love the pictures of your entryway and home. I also love the fall clothes you posted. I feel the same way about fall clothes and I just recently spent $200.00 on myself at Burlington Coat Factory because the prices were very good and the clothes were so cute. I will have to send pictures of some soon. My daughter recently broke my digital camera so I don't have many pictures to post.
I feel bad about not blogging very often. Some of the blogs are so very well put together. I also started reading Stephenie Meyer's books, but didn't finish yet. I saw the long line one day at Walmart with many people waiting for the book to come out in Lindon, Utah and had to check out her books. I love fall here in Lindon, Utah. It is so beautiful and I could get use to this. I am substituting regularly here in Alpine School District and the Provo area. It is a lot of fun, and I'm out when the kids are out of school. I hope to do better and at least write more often on my blog. My kids are enjoying school and Trey just started taking karate and he loves it. Lauren loves science and is in a science club after school. Heather and Trey also joined 4H and will take a class in astronomy at school. I keep busy cleaning house and substituting when I can. Jeff is in Afghanistan and talks to us on the web cam.

Birthday Bash at Doneen's house. Fun Family Times. Beautiful Logan Mountains.

This is my mom playing her new piano.

This is mom's Baby Grand Piano. I saw a Piano Sale sign at the University and thought I would take a look. I called mom on the cell phone and told her about this nice piano. Dad, Mom and I went to the University to look at all the piano's and I think we all fell in love with the new technology of the Ipod Grand Piano. Amazing technology. It plays anything you download onto the Ipod. We listened to the LDS hymns today and it also played Happy Birthday to me today.

Lauren playing the new Baby Grand Piano

Heather loves soccer and she really enjoys playing it. She has made some goals and trys very hard. Go Heather! She plays for Hillcrest.

This is a picture of us while Jeff was here for two weeks. His mom is in this picture.

The pictures of Jeff are in Afghanistan. He is talking to us on the web cam. Cool technology!

Here is some more pictures.

Middletons

This is a picture of a deer in our backyard that Lauren took a picture of. The other pictures are at a nice restaraunt in the Logan canyon.

Alot has happened in the last couple of weeks. Jeff was home for two weeks and his mom and two sisters flew to Logan, Utah to visit him before he left for Afghanistan. I talked to him last night with the webcam and saw him in Afghanistan in a little computer room they have set up. It was late at night and morning there. Lauren and I talked to him for a while.

This is a family picture we had made in January before Jeff left for training in Kansas.

This is Trey's family birthday party. He had a tank cake made at Walmart he picked out. The army tank is a transformer. He is seven years old.

Cute picture of Trey.

Saturday

Tonight we babysat two cute little boys from our stake. Tomorrow is Stake Conference at the Logan Tabernacle and Quentin (sorry if I spelled it wrong) L. Cook will be there. I worked today and cleaned house when I got home. A lot to be done here.

Fun at home

The Davidsons visited from Sandy tonight. We had ice cream and cookies. Then we played with the webcam built into our new laptop. See all the fun!

Today is a good day. It is Monday and I am at home. The snow is still deep and it's cold outside. The children are all at school. I am looking at my families blogs and wanting to create my own.
