HALLOWEEN!!!

Halloween is always such a treat at our house. All the grandkids come over so excited about going trick-o-treating. This year was no exception, even though it was on a school night and Dallin started school this year....we still all had a great time. Even little Hailey really got into the going house to house to collect yummy sweet treats. It has been extra fun this year as Will, Tammy and the girls are living here for a couple of weeks as they get ready to move into their first home. So exciting!!! It has been so much fun having the pitter patter of little feet in our house. It has certainly been a busy time but one with wonderful memories!

Kids Say the Darndest Things!!!

My daughter Valerie is expecting Miss Jessica Around the 1st of December. I guess this has given her kids something to think about as they see her growing belly and are beginning to see the baby move. Kate (4) asked me the other day "Nana, did you ever have a baby?" I replied, "Why yes I did". She looked puzzled and asked "What did you do with it?". Needless to say...she didn'y buy the part about the fact that her "mom" was my little baby.

I took care of Kate and Jace today as Valerie had a doctor's appointment. I can tell that Kate is really thinking a lot about what it means to grow up. Kate (4) told her friend Jace (3) "When you grow up...just your feet get big but your head stays the same size". She thought a minute then added "I guess that your head could look different but your voice stays the same". How Precious! What can I say? I love being a Nana...you learn so much that you never thought about before.
