Kylie in pre-school at BYU-Idaho!

Jamie helping out at school with Kylie's little marching band. It was pretty chilly outside!
Kylie loves going down the railing just like her Nana!

Kylie and I marching around as part of her activity.

Kylie likes marching to her own drum! She was so cute and loves going to school at the young age of 3 1/2!

Cara's trip back to AZ....

Cara left with two friends from college after conference on Sunday. Five minutes after I had dropped her off to meet them she called and told me they had been in a car accident. I wanted you to see the weather conditions and the flashing lights.

The vehicle closest to you was the one Cara was in. Needless to say, I made arrangements for her to fly back to PHoenix and her awesome tennis coach & family came to pick her up. Her back has been a little sore but other than that .... it was an experience that she will never forget.

Celebrating Bopa's birthday!

Jen suggested that we celebrate our Dad's & Bopa's birthday while we were together this past weekend. So a few hours after Cannon's blessing we got together (after the priesthood session) and had dinner in Orem. Cathy, Kylie and Cara here in this shot!

Bopa holding his two grand-darlings while Kelsey is looking and talking on!

Here is the Smith family at Cali-Pizza Kitchen. It was great spending time together and we feel so blessed to have been able to spend a few days together. Happy Birthday honey!!

More of Cannon's blessing day!

Cannon's Great Aunt Jenny, Nanette and Jennifer. Apparently to be a member of our family one has to have at least one "Jennifer" in the family!

Nana and Bopa and their "favorite" grand kids!!!

Our whole family! This is a rare picture to have all of us in it!

Aunt Jamie made this beautiful cake for Cannon. We will have to tell him at a future date how good it tasted!

Kurt, Conrad, Jamie, Kelsey and Cara. I'm not sure where Jen was...

Baby Cannon on his blessing day!

Kurt and Jen with little Cannon on his special day.

More knitting!!!

Since all of my fall and winter clothes are in a box somewhere.... I have to knit my fall wardrobe! What do you think? I knitted the shoulder cover and the cabled hat.

Fall Projects

Here are a few samples of the projects I have been working on this September. My first sweater!!

Baby flannel receiving blanket and matching burp cloth. I crocheted the edges of the burp cloth and used Laura's fancy sewing machine for the edging of the blanket!!!

My first chunky hat! It is adorable on. Can't wait for the cold weather to settle in....

My first cabled baby hat for a friend's baby.

Another shot of my first sweater~ I love this sweater and the neat pattern that the yarn made.

Dog and House sitting for ten days...

For the last ten days we have been dog and house sitting at our "new" old neighbors home, the Owens. We had lots of fun watching Bailey and Buddy and have to admit that both dogs ended up on the bed at some point! We are getting old and soft (in the hearts, of course!) These two dogs were hilarious to be around plus I got lots of knitting in. Good times...

Our two grandbabies meet!

This weekend Kylie met Cannon! Are they not so beautiful????? I am the luckiest Nana on the planet! REally~ how can one have two gorgeous grand~darlings? Kylie thinks we should call them that!!

Our Cara a college girl!

Cara and her first apartment door!

Rick and Cara and the loft bed he made it for her. Desk and all.
