I have not posted much about the little guy but Teegan scored a touchdown at his game this Thursday. He is giving flag football a try this season and seems to like it. He runs around out there with a big grin on his face.

This weekend our Prophet asked us to do nice things for others. Today I learned the father of one of our ward members passed away. 5 years ago when I first moved into the ward I was called to the assistant camp director. This gentleman (who happened to be living with his daughter at the time) was the only priesthood leader who volunteered to drive up to camp, help us take down all the tents, get everything cleaned up and deal with 50 tired girls. He even talked me through driving down my trailer that I had just realized had no one else but me to bring it down. Lets just say I was a nervous wreck. He was our night in shinning armor. He didn't have a granddaughter up with us and he really didn't even know me but he was willing to help. Even though it was a small act it made a HUGE difference to my camp director and I and for some reason has been something I have never forgotten.
Don't forget that our little "somethings" can be big "somethings" to others.

I came across this picture and had to laugh. If I had ask the artist to draw a picture of the things I enjoy she could not have come any closer.

~The cake in her hand, for some reason in the middle of all the craziness I bake. Who can go a week without a batch of cookies or a yummy cake.
~The book on her head represent my new teaching job.
~The camera around her shoulder, photography has always been a love of mine.
~The shopping bag, you all know shopping is my #1 hobby. :)
~The chandelier, I love home decor. Love, love, love it. I can look at home decor magazines, blogs and TV shows all day long. I want to be a designer when I grow up.
~The skateboard, I am on the run most of the time.
~And the best part, she is trying to juggle everything at the same time.
Notice she is in flip flops.
I love her!

I really enjoy General Conference. It means listening to uplifting messages from our church leaders and Prophet, staying in our pajamas all afternoon, relaxing with our families, taking a minute to think about how we can improve our lives, and best of all feeling the spirit teach you the thing you need to hear.

I guess I posted these kind of backwards. Go to the bottom of the pictures to find out where they came from.

My beautiful girl!
I remember taking these like it was yesterday. Where does time go?

Teegan

Look at this little boy! OK I may have posted a few to many but I didn't know where to stop you should see all the cute ones. Teegan was such a happy baby.

I love pictures. You can never go back and relive time but with a picture we can capture a moment and have it forever.

Look at those little chubby hands.

Look what I found!!! Jack pot. I took these pictures with the first digital camera I ever had. For those of you who know me you know I am lucky enough to have a great father in law who lets me use his great cameras for long extended periods of time, like I still have this old one 5,6,7 years later :). Of course he has upgraded me to an awesome new camera that is a bit higher then the old 2 mega pixel I used back then. This was when digital was totally new and you used floppy disks (my kids have no idea what those are) to save the pictures. The problem is most computers don't have a disk drive like they used to so I have had a stack of disks that have been sitting around with no idea what is on them. The computer we are "using" since ours went caput a few months ago happens to have a disk drive so I plug in a disk and surprise these great photos surfaced. I just had to post them. Look how cute he is.
I have 6 more disks to go. :) I am sure there will be a few more pics to come.

Fall

I know I complain about the weather A LOT!!! but I have to say as I walked through Costco and saw the pumpkin pies and the holiday wreaths I got a bit of a flutter. Whenever someone says "fall" I let out a groan. It means saying good bye to the shorts, flip flops and the warm sun :). Most of all I feel like we give up a carefree life. People out for evening walks, kids running around barefoot from house to house, the sound of lawn mowers and the smell of the BBQ grill.
But on the other hand it means Halloween, (my favorite holiday by the way)snuggling up in warm sweaters, fall colors and family get togethers. Maybe I do like fall a little more then I thought :).
