October started out with a bang! On Conference weekend WE GOT A NEW GRANDDAUGHTER! She came about 3 weeks early, so she had a few breathing problems, but otherwise perfect and beautiful. She is #12 grandchild!
Brand new baby girl with her proud parents!
 |
| She had a breathing tube and a feeding tube for awhile. |
 |
| Finally, 12 days later, getting to take Ivory home! |
While Bret & Becki were having 'baby', this Gpa & Gma went to get the other grandkids. We were already heading to Roosevelt on Friday when Bret called, (to take the boat back and spend Conference weekend), so we dropped off the boat, then went on to Gilbert to get Kingston, London & Dempsey. We had to hurry back to Roosevelt to get there by 5pm, because the BYU game was starting. We had fun at Roosevelt with the kids.
They loved feeding all the quail.
 |
| Even though it was a little cool, they played in the water. |
 |
| They played with all the old tinker-toys while watching movies. |
 |
| It seemed like all I did was feed them. |
 |
| They helped Gpa work so they could go on the 4-wheeler with him. |
 |
| Our friends, Tammy & Clifford Finch came and spent 1 night with us. The kids had been collecting rocks and Tammy told London that her rock looked like a cell phone, so she drew a screen and number buttons on it with a black marker. She called it a 'Flintstone Flip-phone'. Well they thought that was the greatest and started making phones out of every rock they found. |
They wanted to take these all home and sell them! I guess I should've let them try, but most of them didn't even look like phones!
On Monday we came back to Eagar. The kids got to enjoy the beautiful Fall weather playing outside on the playground, exploring and finding 3 baby kittens in the woodpile, gathering the eggs with Gpa, and lots of other things. They went to the library for story time and got lots of books to read, they colored, they played with legos and barbies, and when Uncle Marks family came, things got really FUN!
They all loved riding the 4-wheeler, except Dempsey, she would run away once it started up. Cousins Kaemon, Milea, Zallen and Bolden got to spend the weekend too!
 |
| Even Blake and Colter got to come and play! |
 |
| Pretty cute grandkids! |
 |
| Of course making cookies & brownies is always part of the FUN! |
So after 10 days of FUN, on Sunday we had to take them home. Mark's family headed back to El Paso and we headed to Mesa.
Bret had a project that needed Dad's help, so we stayed the night and came home Monday. Bret now has lights in his back yard and a nice fan under his porch area.
