Life goes on...

We spent the week in CA with family and friends as we said goodbye to Grandma. The memorial was wonderful and although it was terribly sad, it is good to know that she is no longer in pain and that she is reunited with her family.

So, life goes on.

Halloween is next Saturday and I needed to finish Lindsay's skunk costume. She has been in this skunk phase for a year now and decided she wanted to be a skunk last Halloween, so I made this for her. Yes, the ears are a tad big, looking a bit like Mickey Mouse, and the tail is a slightly overstuffed.... but other than that- I think it's adorable!

She asked me what we are going to do for the "stink" and then came up with some really good ideas.

I think we'll not add the stink, and she'll be a sweet-smelling little skunk.

She loves it!! And I love that it's DONE!

Auburn, CA:

We had a lot of great family time last week. On Friday we went to a fun park for a picnic and just enjoyed some happy time together as a family.

I wish Chloe was in the picture, she took this of us.

Later this night we ended up at the Del Oro football game for a crazy exciting game!

Del Oro beat Granite Bay! woo hoo!

Things are hectic-busy around here... Chloe has been applying to colleges, making up TONS of school work (missing last week for the memorial AND the week before for tennis regionals), working, AND she's heading back to CA to go to Del Oro Homecoming with her good friend Garrett. She is one busy gal. The rest of us are, too! Our nephew is entering the MTC tomorrow, there are meetings, Mother-Daughter parties and Halloween parties! Then we'll be heading back to CA for our nephew's wedding. *whew* oh, and I'm doing all this with a super basketball in my belly... a very strong and active one!
