We went up to Mallory's house for Halloween. Shah was making a cake for Gentry for her birthday. Sometimes you just have to have a taste of frosting. Don't you just love the "M". Pretty good looking cake. Shah must take after his dad. I recall when Shah was just a few years old Phil was going to college and working at ZCMI in the house ware department. He had the chance to take a couple of Wilton cake decorating classes. I think we had a new cake every week for a few months if not longer. We sure enjoyed the cakes. Lv mom

I had a Friday off of school just before Halloween and Alyse, Ashton, Andraea, and I went to Wheeler Farm. I think it has been years since I've been there it was a great day with a lot of laughter and some great pictures. At the end of our visit Ashton chose a pumpkin to take home. When you are faced with so many pumpkins you have a hard time picking the right one. Ashton wanted the smallest one in the patch but his mom convinced him to pick a larger one. Thanks for a fun Friday. Lv mom

UEA,

We went to UEA and got all the freebees from the vendors. We spent most of the day there. After a full day and a lot of bags full of pens and pencils I took Phil home to rest. We also dropped Alyse and Alex off. Ashton and I went to West Jordan Park for an hour of fun running and playing. I wasn't running he was, I was just taking pics. I love being a grandma

Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus came to town. They had an Elephant parade down town. Phil, Alyse and Ashton went down to see the parade. Lv the pics.

School is back in and I sometimes miss out on those things happening during the day. Dad and Alyse took a drive up the Alpine loop to see the beautiful leaves this fall. I'm so glad they can spend time together. I get the pics. Smile:)

Dad and I had a great time visiting Mallory on Sunday and seeing present her part in the Primary program. What proud Grandparents we are. Thanks Gen for being such a great mom and helping Mal develop her talent of Public Speaking. So sorry we didn't get pic before we all changed out of our Church Clothes. Mal and I had a great time just swinging out in the backyard and having our own little party outside. Thanks Mal Lv you.

The other day Andraea was over and visiting with Ashton on the couch. They were talking about her new pet fish. This was their conversation. We all had a good laugh. Kids are so truthful.

Draea: Ash you gotta come see my fish, now i dont live alone. Ashton: Did you borrow it?. Draea: no i bought it. Ashton: Oh is he gonna protect you?.... Hilarious.

This mom hopes that Draea's pet does protect her. Just a mom talking
