Keeping Up with Brother Jones

We did spend one whole day working on Ron & Verenda's new home. We painted the shutters black, the mailbox post black, mowed and edged the lawn (my personal project), changed doorknobs and closet knobs, laid carpet in the family room and hall and hung blinds and changed toilet seats. We got lots done and here is our final project...with lots more to do.
P.S. With four bedrooms to fill, here is a picture of Ron practicing for a family (quiet the crying baby...good job Ron!).

Jumping Geehosalotsafat

We ended our weekend at a warehouse that is wall to wall trampolines. Karen and a friend are going to have their joint birthdays here in November. We stayed one hour which was 50 minutes too long for Grandma but Jared never did stop. At one point he got onto a platform and never broke his jumping stride up and down and yelled at us to get back on the trampolines. There is also a picture of Ron and Audrey on a dance fever machine if jumping isn't enough exercise for you!

Pumpkin Posing

With so many pumpkins everywhere I had to get at least one picture of pumpkins. Here is Cindy outside Wal-Mart after she and Audrey had their nails done.

The Many Sides of Kate-0-Eight

Anna told me that Kate loves to have her feet kissed. Guess what? She really does! She stops crying immediately when Anna starts kissing her feet. Also, she is posing in her "I Love Mummy" onesie Grandma had to buy for her. It said it glowed in the dark and it really did during Karen's concert.

Birthday Buds

Our next stop was at Karen's Brass Concert in Provo. This was the funnest concert of all time. The director wrote music from scenes of his favorite music scores all for brass instruments and then the audience watched the clips while the band played the movie scores. It was great! Music selections came from: Dumbo, Roadrunner cartoon, Bugs Bunny, Silverado and Apollo XIII.

Great Grandma Merrell

We stopped and visited Mary at Bart's home in Pleasant Grove. Here she is holding Kate.

Cove Fort

Audrey and I had a four-day weekend and so we headed North. Our first stop was Cedar to pick up Cindy and Sarah and then I wanted to tour Cove Fort so here we are...
Cove Fort was established between two settlements because the telegraph would only travel 30 miles and they needed a way-station in between to relay messages. It was built and maintained by Gordon B. Hinkley's Grandfather and his family for 20 years.

October Kinder Quilt

Just showing off how talented my kinder kids are. We have mastered the shape, square, and our spiders are anatomically correct with 8 eyes each.

Dixie State College Homecoming Parade

Here's our Desert Hills Middle School featuring Audrey on her marching French Horn going down Tabernacle St. early this morning in 52 degree weather.

Kate-O-Eight

Audrey and I went up to Cedar to watch General Conference with the fam and help hold kids and give Connie and Ben a break. I don't know if we were more work or more help. Here is a cute picture I took of Audrey and Kate (2 months old). I thought she was smiling but she was sticking out her tongue...licking her chops looking for lunch.
