Random Posting! Playing Catch Up!

We have now been in our house for about 2 months.   Our neighborhood is brand new so ofcourse they do have to have bathrooms for the construction workers (port-a-potties).  When I was house hunting alone, I didn't realize that there was a port-a-potty right in our front yard!  I don't know how I missed it!  Anyway, about a week ago they finally took that ugly green thing away! YAY!


They also just finished the house next to us, so we no longer have this huge dirt hill on our side yard!  I am so glad because we are trying to grow our winter lawn and it didn't help to have all of the neighborhood kids running all over the lawn!  So that's gone too!


We had our Ward Halloween Party (before Halloween) and I am just now posting the pictures!





Annabelle, Why are you so beautiful?



Now that Hiram is home it seems that Annabelle is smiling a whole lot more!  She really loves her daddy!


Hiram always loves to take a family picture after church.  So here is the first one since he has been back from Iraq!  We are so thankful that he is here!  We love you so much!

I told you it was a random post!

Crayon Rolls

One thing about getting ready for church on Sunday that drives me CRAZY, is the "pencil box" full of crayons that we ALWAYS have to bring.  The box of course is carried by me, which means that it usually opens up and crayons are dumped in my HUGE bag.  VERY ANNOYING!  This week I was looking on http://www.etsy.com/ and found that so many people are making these great "CRAYON ROLLS"!  I was so excited, so I decided to make couple of them for my girls.  They actually turned out pretty well I think, and the girls love them.  We use them for markers, pencils, crayons, etc.
