Tooth Fairy-Past and Present

I was looking through some pictures the other day and came across a picture of Laura when she was missing her front tooth. I had to laugh when I saw Laura holding a cob of corn. We thought it would be a funny picture and indeed it was...and still is for that matter! As I was pondering this snap shot from 20 years ago, I remembered that our granddaughter recently had her picture taken while she was missing her TWO front teeth (thanks to her brother)! Look at how much they resemble each other!

IT'S SCARY.

Kaelynn Louise missing her two front teeth!

Here is Kaelynn eating corn too!  

Laura Jean trying to eat corn on the cob with her front tooth missing!
I like your bangs! 

It is fun to look at old photos and compare them to the present... we can't forget the past!

Odd and Ends

We visited Bryan in Logan last week.  We had a great time and enjoyed seeing Bryan and his roommates.  While we were there, we took in a BYU-Aggie football game.  The Aggies haven't won a game against BYU in 10 years!  I felt brave in wearing my "Go Cougars" shirt!

Before the big game!  We had people smile at us as we were taking this picture! 

Bryan and his roommates before the game... McCabe, Bryan and Nate.  

The Aggies won the GAME... The students ran out on the field as everyone went crazy!

"Did the Cougars just get beat????"  I just don't understand!"
We still had a great time and it was fun to be at the game with Bryan and McCabe. 

We went to the Logan Zoo Saturday morning.  Here were are looking at the monkeys.

Bryan's Room.... oh,  I mean the Monkey Cage..

Sunday we were at Laura's house visiting.  Here we are taking a walk.  Kaelynn had fun pushing Caleb .  She is getting to be such a big girl.  Caleb is having fun riding along, picking his nose! 

Good-Bye Grandma and Grandpa....
We had a great time visiting our family.  We enjoy visiting  so much, can't wait until we can go up and see them again.   

I just couldn't resist taking this picture.  Austen got up on our bed and put on  Grandpa's reading glasses and pretended to read his book.   It was so cute  I took his picture.  He really likes to wear Grandpa's glasses. 

Dirk didn't want to get left out, so he put on my reading glasses!  He looks very smart!

"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as Autumn sunshine by staying in the house.  So, I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air."    ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

I feel the same way, Nathaniel.... today is a beautiful Fall day, so I am off to enjoy.

Autumn Splash

I love Autumn..the colors, the smells, the cooler weather, but not yet cold. It all makes for a beautiful time of year.   Our yard has been especially pretty this year.   This morning as we were working out in the yard, I just couldn't resist the opportunity to take a few pictures!   We have had some smoke in the air from a forest fire nearby (not sure where) and it has given the sky a smoky haze, not so good for breathing, but it was good lighting for the pictures... 

Pretty yellow flowers in a pot

Juicy red tomatoes!

Pink Hollyhocks... I love hollyhocks, they are so old-fashioned

I was just having some fun... wouldn't it be nice to buy tomatoes for .25 in the winter!!

We bottled homemade spaghetti sauce...yummy

I hope you are having a wonderful Autumn and enjoying all the colors.

Grandchildren are the cat's meow!
