Halloween Craft

Thanks to our friend Jacqui for posting this fun craft on her blog. We did this the other day and the kids really had fun. I like the look of the black bat-o-lanterns instead of just the traditional jack-o-lanterns.

Mount Graham

A 20-minute drive from Thatcher takes you 6000ft to this nice picnic spot on Mount Graham. There's a lake at the top of the mountain, but the curvy roads always make me motion-sick, so we never really make it that far up the mountain. Someday, I'll give in and we'll take the drive all the way up.

Cottonfields in Thatcher

We've been in Thatcher all week visiting Nana and Grandpa. There are cottonfields everywhere. I know these are a lot of pictures but I thought they were all cute and we had a lot of fun taking them so I had to post a bunch... Click to enlarge.

Malibu owners beware!

OK, so we have owned 2 chevy malibu's over the years and had both of them broken into. Our white one was broken into twice and someone broke into our gray one while I was at work the other day. All they got from it was my see-through make-up bag and my coupon book. I hope it was worth it to them. I'm really mad about the coupons because that book took a lot of effort and now I have to start over!

Merry-go-round at the mall

Last week we took the kids to the mall to play on the merry-go-round. Kevin was a little scared, but Paige and Derek loved it.

Kindergarten Picture

This is Derek's Kindergarten photo from school.... isn't he handsome!!!! He's so grown up now that he's in Kindergarten and he loves it there! I think he may even be smarter than me at that age... he's doing great with his letters and numbers and learning all kinds of things.
