Sugar high......here we come!!

Halloween Time!! Oh what to be? What to be?

How 'bout an angry long-haired pirate wanna-be?

Or maybe a dazed and confused princess?? Hmmm......

Tough decision!

Oh goodie! Hop in. Problem solved. To Nanny's house we go for our costume package.

Wait, why travel to Salt Lake by car when these airline tickets have just been freshly won.

But then again, why not just travel by the twinkling of an eye. Suddenly.....

Batman returns, fully attired.

And accompanying him, meet Cinder........

and Ella!!

Let the trick-or-treating begin (oh, how quickly 16 mo. olds learn "knock, candy, knock, candy")

And how quickly they learn, "give me more, dang it...not now, RIGHT now!" Hello sugar high.

And moving onto the other joys of Halloween. Like JoySchool!!

Tthe Kindergarten parade!

And we can't forget to mention the Shaffers!

And the Petersons! Happy Halloween.

Lilybet's 1st Adventure

Meet Liliybet.

Lilybet is about to embark on her 1st adventure into the wilderness with her mother who loves her very much.

Mother & daughter explore all ends of the Grafton Mesa.

Exploration continues all day until it is time for mother/daughter to cozily snuggle up in their stylish, totally matching, totally blue tent!!

Next thing Lilybet knows, it's morning and little Cal Girl wakes up anxious to get breakfast started!!

Father and son are busy taking the tent down and don't catch eye of the flame

but luckily, big sister comes to the rescue!!

Job a success!! Water boiled!

However.....in all the mishap, Lilybet somehow escapes. She decides to go exploring on her own.

The search begins!!

Could she maybe be leaving these rocks behind? (like the bread trail of Hansel and Gretel?)

Jax Man decides his best help could be given through prayer and meditation.

Yahoo!! Prayer is always the answer. Father to the rescue!

Back home in the arms of Mom again!!

We're happy to all be joined back together.

And a promise is made to Lilybet that next adventure she hopefully will not get lost in the shuffle.

In fact, we'll just stick to the already prepared food. No more boiling distractions!!
