Well.. well.. the last day of the Month.. Happy Halloween.

What is a "Happy Halloween"  I know for years it wasn't my favorite Holiday because it was alot of work getting eight children out to "Trick or Treat" plus make dozens of cookies for the creepy Halloween Goblin's that would be knocking on our front door. One year it was so crazy that I almost run over my own son.. just so a car could pass by.. in Heber... the roads would be full of cars and all kinds of little kids running here and there. but life was good and memories still linger in my heart...
           
                  Talking about cute memories

    Today was Sugar Cookie Day  (Secret recipe)... shhh..sorry.. it's mine and I never share it....but everybody loves it.. that is why I bake about 18dozen for each HOLIDAY!

But look who is here to help Grandma make their own cookies.
                 Our cute as a bug in the rug twins.

Ryker wants to help Grandma make Sugar Cookies.
Brother Holden is playing.....



Ryker is checking the quality of my dough!




We are being very carefull .... Hot Oven!




I love the new shapes he has created...




Now Holden joins us... for the best part...frosting the cookies and adding sprinkles!




ENJOY THE NEXT THREE PICTURES.. IT IS NOTHING BUT BROTHERLY LOVE!





After putting their cookies in their bags.. and kissing frosting faces-goodbye.. I finished my Cookie Cooking.



I Hope your Halloween turns out exactly as it should.....
A magical and fun-filled night
that's delightfully good!

We are here to see the Lion King!

Viva Las Vegas

Charlie was excited to see the Pawn Shop he watches on T.V.
Notice the line.. hmmmm!



Charlie is trying to be part of the GANG!



We took Dallin & Cameron to breakfast while the rest of the clan went to the Las Vegas Temple

The Lion King was GRRRRREAT..... well worth the trip... Thank you Cindi & Sam for the memories!

Thanks Angela and Spencer for your patience .. especially when I got so car sick.. and it all came up!
Charlie took me back to the Excalibur Hotel.. and people glanced at me with discuss
 ( I had throw-up from my head to my toe)  ..shaking their heads as if I was just another drunk being rescued by her husband!

Just so ya know.. it's crazy getting old!

You think you know where you are but being lost is part of the journey!

Your children look at you kinda of weird and whisper because they know I can't hear..

But here we are.. what can I say.. your day is coming and

 when it does you too will say... It's crazy getting old.

Love Mom

It's Halloween

IT'S HALLOWEEN
It`s Halloween! It`s Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can`t be seen
on any other night:
Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels,
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic brooms.

Many years ago... Trick-or -Treat.. was a whole  lot different then todays TRICK OR TREAT!
In the little town of Heber.. we walked door to door and gathered all kinds of "Home-Made Goodies"
We trusted others... and I always made tons of Sugar Cookies.. becasue word was out that the
"Steele Family" had the best Treats.. Neighbors had small gatherings and played games.. the only decorations back then .. was what ever we could create..
It seems like ... I always fall back on the " Good-ole-Days"   but just think ... for our grandchildren.. this will be their days to remember.

Take the time to share you Hawlloween Memory.... I know your out there.. .so Share!

A Quilt to Remember

I had the wonderful opportunity to help a friend at work finish a quilt her Mother had worked on before she passed away last year.

I was able to attatch the borders to a very fragile quilt...
My friend had it professionly machine quilted and then I did the binding.

As I stitched away..I could feel the tenderness that her Mother had give to each Sunbonnet Sue  it was my stitches meeting those of the past!


Thank you Mary for the Journey!

I have the opportunity to work at Kiddie Kollege.. with great Boss's and great friends.
This is my 2nd. year and it has been great so far.. with many great days to look forward too.

Today was Picture Day... this is one of many pictures1
These little children love unconditionaly and they love me becasue they think I'm funny.
Imagine that!

I'm standing with two of my ( Boss's }

LesAnn & Annis
Mother & Daughter

The cute Blonde is a very close friend.. She is the one who confirmed that publishing my book was a must!
Her name is Mary and she is awesome!

Grandma's Boat

 Sailing .. Sailing ... Over the Ocean Blue....

MEMORIES... WORTH THE COST OF THE BOAT!

 
        

A New Season

                 
 SUMMER TIME IS GONE MY FRIENDS.
Summer time is gone my friends
It slowly comes but quickly ends.
It's been replaced by time called Autumn.
Nature changes hues from top to bottom
Green gives way to red and gold.
A lovely vision to behold.
Whirling leaves go blowing by
Carrying smells of pumpkin pie.
The air turns crisp the sky fades grey.
Indian corn and bales of hay.
Overcoats and apple cider.
No more evenings on the glider.
The harvest moon so orange and round
Holidays will soon abound.
Chrysanthemum petals start to unfold
A lovely vision to behold.

What is your memory of fall.. is it your favorite Season?

I loved as a little girl playing in the abundant leaves at our home in Heber City Utah.  There was time to play, time to pile the leaves up high and scatter them in delight. There was time to ponder and time to lay on your back in a bed of leaves.. looking up into the big cloudy sky and wondering if God was looking back at you.

Share with me your memories...............
