Well, I don't really have anything new to put on here just yet, as far as pictures go, but I thought I would at least add something "Halloweeny" to the page. I'm working on a video that will show you a group of 5th-6th graders doing some funny body percussion routines to the theme from the "Addams Family" as a Halloween activity during music class. The ones the kids have made up thus far have been really funny. Otherwise, you can probably tell what's been going on at my house based on my poll questions--getting children to do their chores, and prepping for Halloween. So...that's about it for now.

It's been almost a month, but I've been running around like crazy starting work again, and all of the things with Doug changing his shift at work around....But, it was so nice, when my sister Lana, my Mom, and my sis-n-laws Liza and Breanne created a night out for me for my birthday. I was sick on the actual day, therefore didn't really do anything fun. So, they planned a "Night at the Spa" for me. There was great food (which I could eat most of, yah!!) a fun movie, and pedicures for everyone. Lana did mine for me, and they had all gotten me this great pedicure set to take home with a great new nail polish color. I know it might seem a bit crazy, but one of the thoughts that came to my head as my sister was washing my feet, and taking such good care of me, is that it reminded me of the Savior washing the feet of his apostles. I think the love shown in both situations was the same. So, here are a few of those pictures, as well as a new large one

from the weekend before when my brother Ben and his family were visiting. Can you believe how big our family is getting!! I love it!!
