Happy Halloween!

I will keep this short (Alexis figured out how to pop my keys off and now they are on the fritz).  

Alexis is a lady bug for her 2nd  Halloween! My aunt took some pictures of her last weekend so here are a few.  We wanted to take her to Pioneer village last night but the weather wasn't cooperating.  I think we will let her "trick or treat" down our side of the street tonight.  

She got her first pumpkin this year when Russ took her to the pumpkin patch (I think she thought it was a ball because she threw it alot ...luckily it survived and is going to be cooked this weekend). 

            

Almost a century....almost

I am so sad that the pink and white sprinkle animal cookies I remember when I was a kid won't be around for Alexis to eat, so here are some pictures of Alexis eating the last of the circus animal cookies. Mothers' Cookies almost made it a hundred years.  She is finally starting to like the scooter that uncle Preston bought for her for Birthday. Now if I could get her to ditch the binky. Some pictures are blurry- I think I need a new camera or need to learn how to work mine better, I used to be able to get great pictures from it lately they all seem blurry. 

Beets?

 I was blessed with three beets in my CSA box today.  I will eat any vegetable- except beets.   I know they are *really* good for you, and part of the reason for getting the CSA box every week is to try things we normally wouldn't and to eat more fresh fruits/veggies.  So what should I do with these beets? Any really awesome beet recipes that you can't taste the beets in? Russ says throw them out- I really would like to try to use them in some way.  

Hi All!

So by request I will try to start blogging on this website instead of myspace (even that gets done rarely).  Upcoming exciting things are Halloween and Russell's big 3-0 bday...more on that later since I still haven't quite decided what to do for it yet...I have some ideas and would be open to more.  Here are some pics for practice.
