Our Mansfield Thiots
There is a magical pumpkin patch located in Midlothian Texas. Ricky's family had the funnest day there on Saturday. Ricky spent the week in St Louis for work and was so glad when he finally made it home Saturday morning after his flight was delayed. Fortunately it was a mechanical problem and so they paid for a hotel room and dinner. It was a long week and he was so glad to see his girls that they headed to Shadow Creek for a together day. I loved, Loved all the photos from their adventure. I'm hoping next year we can go along for the fun day. I loved at trunk or treat Harper discovered two of her friends had the same costumes. They loved posing for this phot of three Cruellas. Miss Harper, you are my fave!
Our Medford Granges
This has been a rough week in Medford. Tatia has had kidney stones and a kidney infection which have made for a miserable week for her. I'm so grateful that she has good friends and a wonderful husband who have helped her survive. Thank you all who have prayed for her. She said she has truly felt the strength of your prayers. My sister Laurie said how blessed Tatia is to have good friends and then she said it's because Tatia IS a good friend. She is right. I've seen several miracles this week. One was good friends, another a husband that could get her into a doctor quickly and another that Tatia had halloween all planned a month ago, costumes ready and pumpkins bought. It truly was a miracle that she could be down all week and still have a very successful holiday for her sweet family. Saturday afternoon was my favorite miracle. Look out this window and see that gorgeous rainbow. Truly Heavenly Father is aware of us in good times and hard times. I'm so glad he sent a rainbow to bless their hearts to feel his love. Sometimes we may think He has forgotten us, but He has NOT.
Liam and Ewan are visiting Lilly and their dad this Halloween Weekend. So numbers were few but the fun was had. A trip to the zoo and some bike riding including some wheelie popping and lunch out before Trunk or treat. Callum made quite a haul and they had a fun time. Callum, I'm not sure what to think of your new hair due. WOWSERS! I loved these photos for Keelie's volleyball game. She has played soccer since she was a tiny girl and now volleyball has stolen her heart. Way to go Keelie! I love the photo of this glorious sunset. I've been in California and seen those fabulous sunsets. Thanks for sharing!
This was a big week in Orem. Miss Adelaide went to the orthodontist and had her pallet expander removed and traded that for braces. She is so brave and not a complainer. I'm so proud of your Adelaide. You look great in your braces. Guess what? There is enough snow in the mountains for some fun in the snow. The resorts are not open yet but you can sure have fun there. Yes, it's cold but that doesn't seem to bother the Orem Thiot's. I think they warmed up so long in LA that they are ready for the cold. I loved Pierce and Stacy's Halloween costumes. Mr. Pumpkin head and Stacy dressed up like the Pierce minus the beard. Love it!
This was our weekend to have Elinor come. WHAT FUN? We made a list of things we wanted to do. 1. Carve a pumpkin with a kitty on it. Sky did a great job 2. Paint a unicorn pumpkin 3. Eat corny dogs for lunch 4. Go to Trunk or Treat. What fun we had all day long. Elie and Graypa took a walk to Walmart and bought batteries to bring her unicorn game back to life and they had fun playing it. Graypa said she kept tickling him with her cheetah tail and loved it when he carried her. Sky was a great sport and wore the daddy cheetah costume and they were the fastest runners and had such fun at trunk or treat. Sky did a great job painting on a little black nose and some whiskers on her daring face. We had a game at our car and Elie preferred helping with the game after only trick or treating a few cars. She said she had enough candy. Smart girl.
I loved this picture of this little gray cottage with a red door in the middle of autumn time. I can just picture myself living there and loving all the leaves and never wanting to rake them away. So pretty. We've had some autumish temperatures this week and lots of wind. Dick and I had fun filling bags with our favorite mix of popcorn cheddar and carmel and delivering it to our friends in our Self Reliance class. We are quite spread apart and it made for lots of fun time together. Thanks Dick for being my driver. Our ward has aquired new missionaries. We traded our 3 awesome Elders for 3 amazing sisters. I've loved getting to drive them to a couple of appointments and stay at the lessons. It makes me excited for missionary work. They are darling and kind girls. Miss Elie could tell there was something special about them and even offered her favorite purple glow braclette to them. That reallly said, I like you. In our self reliance class on Sunday, we were invited to do a group service project. I chose to ressurect our Preaching Fourth Newsletter for our ward missionaries. What fun that has been for me to hear how they are all doing. Here is the link if you want to take a peek. http://preachingfourth.blogspot.com Happy Halloween Everybody. May you have a Boo-tiful day.
