We decorated our Christmas tree tonight - Dad and Nathan put on the lights which I didn't get pictures of. Nathan and Jason put the ornaments on the tree! Then they gave the tree a hug they liked it so much. The other pictures are from the sunset tonight. I thought the sunset was pretty and I tried taking pictures of it with my digital camera and didn't do it justice.

This past summer I left my car unlocked one night and was prompted to go and lock it before going to bed. Thinking no this is a safe neighborhood and nothing ever happens here I didn't listen to that prompting. Needless to say the next morning someone had been in our car and they took all of my CD's and Jason's CD's. I wasn't too upset until this morning when Marcella and I wanted to listen to Christmas music and I realized that my Christmas CD's were in the case that was stolen. If anyone has access to the following CD's and would like to part with them, download them for me or sell them to me it would be greatly appreciated!
These are the Christmas CD's I am looking for: Martina Mcbride, Reba McEntire, Garth Brooks, Raffi and Amy Grant's home for Christmas CD.

Halloween night just before Marcella went trick or treating. Kanien and Jon dressed up to go with her. David and Rose dressed up too! They went to a Halloween party at church wed. night and received a lot of comments on their costumes and their little hot dog!

Marcella did not want to put her hand in the pumpkin and clean it out!

I spent a few days visiting with Kanien, Jon, Marcella, Claire, David, Rose and William - thanks for having me! I enjoyed being there and spending time with all of you. Marcella and I had fun playing in her bedroom with her kitchen set and her legos, reading books and playing a game. David asked her if she was voting for Obama or McCain for president and with a loud emphatic NO to David she said I'm voting for President Monson. It was pretty funny!

Marcella enjoyed playing this game while she was at our house. I gave up after awhile I couldn't get any bugs in the frogs mouth but she was successful several times.

Nanette requested when she was here around conference time that I post a qoute a day. As you can see it's now Nov. and I have not done that. She actually said when I get a qoute or something that I think is inspiring and she would like to post it on the blog so she can write it down. I read this one on someone else's blog today and thought I would pass it on.

It is from Marjorie Hinckley

"We each do the best we can. My best may not be as good as your best, but it's my best. The fact is we know when we are doing our best and when we are not. If we are not doing our best, it leaves us with a gnawing hunger and frustration. But when we do our level best, we experience a peace."

One more by Pres. Ezra Taft Benson - "Christ changes men, and changed men can change the world. Men changed for Christ will be captained by Christ. . . . Men captained by Christ will be consumed in Christ. . . Their will is swallowed up in His will. They do always those things that please the Lord. Not only would they die for the Lord, but more important they want to LIVE for Him."
