Jesse and I made an AWESOME batch of chocolate chip cookies

Nothing is as special as

Jesse & Maggie

Cody & Nikki

says it all doesn't it

We had some family fun at Fain Lake

I don't know if Jesse had more fun
kicking the football or tossing leaves

My guys (Jesse & Gramps)

had a backyard campout last night

making & eating hotdogs & somemores

and sleeping outside (for a while)

Great fun!!!

Wasn't Wally a sweetie!

1953 about 10 months old

Jesse and I had an awesome day!

First we went to Peter Piper where we;

ate pizza

played games

and cashed in tickets!

then on the way home..

we stopped at the lake

Do you ever feel this way?

Between sports

(basketball, football, baseball, golf, bowling, doesn't matter-it's on)

and kid shows (also doesn't matter-it's on)

the television drives me crazy!

I don't want to really change the channel ~ just turn it off!

My Great niece Aubri the Cheerleader!

(Ricky's granddaughter)

Isn't she just too cute!

~Jesse Daniel Staddon~

everything little boys should be

sweet snuggly dirty

lover of bugs & ice cream

giver of hugs

bouncy noisy funny

grandpa's best friend

Jesse decided to embrace the sixties for Halloween

(yeah right - this is all we could come up with!)

We think he makes a really cute Hippie!

Just some random thoughts...  

Our Primary program was last Sunday, it was great, as they always are.. from the cute ~ the Sunbeam who wants her family to "be a turtle" (be eternal) to the awesome ~ we have some wonderfully talented musicians in Primary (children) who play piano & flute...

I'm listening to Jesse and grandpa discussing sports, the finer points of basketball, football, and of course the World Series (Jesse calls it the world serious) Jess wants the Yankees to win, Walt wants the Phillies to win ~ we'll see what happens...

I had to make the long drive to the Valley today for a Dr. appt. I do NOT like that drive alone... I don't know how Rick, Danny, & Cody can drive long distance and alone for their jobs so much...

It's great having Jesse back up here again, we've really missed him, quirks and all. I saw a saying the other day "Autism ~ seeing the world from a different angle" so true...

And finally... 

Have you ever had one of those days where you just know this ---

A wish for a wonderful Birthday

to our sweet daughter-in-law Laurie

We love you!
