Great Grandma Knighton

If I live to be 102 I would want to still be as beautiful as my grandma is! She passed away this week. Love you grandma!

Things

Sometimes I feel a great need to document.... blog. Other times not so much.
Just FYI. If you don't read every word of my blog, we can still be friends. Not offended in any way, this blog is mostly just for me.

Pat is traveling every other week to Concordia. Seems he is always working, if he is not traveling, he is trying to catch up on work here. .
School has gotten better for Jadyn. She no longer crys at night because she HATES school. She learned how to eat lunch faster and is no longer scared of getting left in the lunchroom. Sounds humorous. But really she was terrified. She even let me drop her off on the curb today, walked all the way across the cross walk and into the school, alone. This independence will give us ten more minutes of sleep in the morning, since we won't have to park and walk her in anymore. Sweet!
Maddux always says he loves preschool and "I had fun today momma" after I pick him up. But it is usually a 2 minute struggle to get him out of the car and into preschool in the morning. Once I get him in the school, he is perfectly fine.
Bodey, oh Bodey. He is full into his little 2 year old self. Every statement, question or suggestion is answered with "NO!" Joy. He throws a fit every time I change his diaper, try to feed him dinner or get him in pajamas.
He can talk very well. Every one comments on how much he is talking. I'd just like him to be quiet every now and then. Last Sunday he insisted on having a piece of sacrament bread, after giving him one piece he threw it into Sister Dentons hair who was sitting in front of us. He was mad because he wanted to get it himself. Love 2 year olds.

Four

Wasnt he a cute baby.

 

We had a big party in which I snapped one pic. Sad. It's hard to be host and photagrapher at the same time. 

We love Maddy! Happy fourth birthday!

Harvest Day

Fall

 Glow in the dark pajamas.

 Jadyn "mom are you sure these are modest? they are like showing my bones?"

Fall is so short have to enjoy every minute.

The mountains were calling to me and so I had to go

 Our plans for the weekend got vetoed at the last minute. But I couldn't handle staying home. So we headed to the mountains with pretty much no plan in mind.

 Lunch with a view. It was yummy too.

 Oh hello there, huge deer. Maddux "Can we shoot it?"

 See we could have easily shot him. I mean petted him.

 Garden of Gods

 Look Bodey is in a heart shaped rock. How cute.

 Hey we are in a crack. Yes I have a nice rack.

 We were kind of camera happy. Hey I was happy to be outside without a 100 degree weather. Jadyn "stick out your tongues"

 "Make mean faces."

 Then we tried to go jet skiing.

 But Uncle Luke forgot to put the plug in so the jet ski sunk and then didn't work anymore. Awesome.

 Oh well. The sand is fun.

 Pretty sure I didn't get off my butt not even to take pictures. Lazy.
I was really sad to come back home to my dirty house. Sigh.
