Jud's birthday

We celebrated Jud's birthday in November.  We feel so blessed to have him in our family. He's not only a great son-in-law, but a terrific husband and father..  We love you.

It's autumn in North Ogden

I love sitting on the patio and listening to the rain.
 
 
When it stopped, I went on a run.  But I couldn't keep my heart rate up because I had to keep stopping to take pictures of the beautiful Autumn day.


Halloween 2015

The fall leaves looks so nice on the side of the mountain.
 
 
The Masons at the Niederhauser Halloween party.  Dave and I had to miss it this year.  We were sick.
 
Mario and Luigi (aka James and Jack)

I got to see Olivia's little Halloween dance show at her ballet studio. 

Halloween Night.  Here comes Mitt.

Liv got glasses.  Not only can she see better, but she looks so darn cute in them.

The Stowers.


The Mason boys came to our door that night too.


Eight of the cutest Trick or Treaters ever.

The Smedleys sent us this shot of them at their ward Halloween party.





Shad turns three.

We were excited to get these pictures of Shad from Steph.  Our little New Yorker turned three in October. 
 



We miss him and can't wait to see them at Thanksgiving.  Happy Birthday to a very smart, sweet kid.  We love you.

Lily's Birthday

 
 
It's crazy that our oldest granddaughter turned ten this year.  What a beauty.
It was still warm enough to celebrate her Sunday birthday dinner outside.



Dad Grose loved hanging out on the patio with some of his great grandkids.


Lily is a very resourceful and creative kiddo.  When she saw how expensive an American Girl cafĂ© set was, she made her own.

We got to go over to the Stowers for ice cream pie on her actual birthday.


Cody's mom used to play them a birthday song on a record player.  He still had the record and so we brought over our record player so the kids could her it.  They were fascinated.




Later in the week, Dave and I took her on her birthday date.  She always chooses Chinese food.


We took her shopping for her present and she chose a toy talking parrot that repeats everything you say to it. 


Happy Birthday to our dear sweet Lily, or Lulu and Dave likes to call her.
 We love you.
