Early Birthday Gift

Mere got an early birthday gift from her mom and dad-only because her mom couldn't resist and wanted to play herself--(non-toxic) ball pit balls to go into her pool. It'd be fun even deeper, but they get pricey with shipping and all :(



Here's Mere with her dad and below you can she she is enjoying exploring and climbing onto things-this shelf isn't very high, but there's a picnic basket she keeps trying to climb onto and she doesn't realize she can fall right off.

We have sod!

It's getting chilly here in the evenings. . . windy too, fun!
Our new sod-now Meresiana can play without eating dirt.

We're an apple computer family : )

Halloween

  

   

Meresiana was a fairy and Saki and I were Reese's :) We went to the ward trunk-or-treat and had dinner then, as I wanted to be more healthy I handed out glow in the dark trinkets and bracelets and playdough (all for $4 at the dollar tree) and was reminded that most kids really just want candy :( so I got some candy-a small bag for anyone that might come by our apt Friday and NO trick-or-treaters! I was so sad, I love seeing the costumes. . . though Saki and Meresiana got my hopes up by knocking after their walk and saying trick or treat. . . I was excited for a minute :( 

Here's a new video of Meresiana "walking"-she gets nervous if you just hold one hand, but she can still step. . . and some old videos of us at the beach in San Diego with Robert and Camille in July. 

Well-the videos won't load-I'll keep trying, sorry!!!

The town of Calipatria and beyond

Coming soon. . . where we live, work, and play!

Four Tag-my favorite number by the way Michelle

    

You can see the funny face she makes when she's excited about something. . .

    

I've had this dress hanging on the wall in Mere's room to add some color and I realized this week it might actually fit her now! So she wore it to church today and looked adorable! It is just sweet how the little skirt flares out and I am so thankful to the wonderful family in Vernal who gave us this and many other clothes their granddaughter grew out of! 

A) Four places I go often: Market Square (the grocery store in our little town across the street from us-cheap but limited produce:), Walmart-yes hanging out at walmart has now become our way of getting out of the house for a change of scene the new one is close by and quite nice, church, post office (our town is so little everyone has a PO box cause they don't deliver mail)

B) Four people who email me regularly: my dad and others it varies-mostly blogging and lots of fun ichating with my brother Thomas

C) Four of my favorite places to eat: haven't found any I'm too keen on-but I'm sure there's a good mexican place out here since we're so close to the border-Saki likes Subway

D) Four places I would rather be right now: the beach, the temple, with family, always anywhere with Saki!

E) Four people I think will respond: surprise me : )

F) Four TV show I watch: we don't have a TV but we enjoy watching Monk and Perry Mason (old black and white show) online
