Aren't these cute???

New Tree = New Ornaments

I bought a new "pre-lit" Christmas tree this year. I had had the old one for TOOOO many years. I had to make new ornaments for the new tree...here's a preview, (they are "kid" proof too! ) I have a few more to do, but have had to work on other more pressing projects!!

Christmas

Jayleigh was loving playing with the bells on the Christmas tree. I had to watch (through he camera) as she carefully took them off, rang them, and put them back!!

I haven't been blogging cuz when my oldest sister came for a visit, she got me hooked on this game...

it's called World Mosiacs and it's from GameHouse...check it out. Oh wait, you might not want to check it out or you'll end up not blogging!!

Jayleigh's Halloween Parade

Today was Jayleigh's Halloween parade at the day care where she goes. She wasn't so sure about it all. She's a little bat, and the cutest little bat I've ever seen.

This little boy was sitting next to her and kept kicking her foot, or touching her arm, it was kind of funny actually...TOO CUTE!!

Oh, the weather outside is...

It's a Guymon thing!!

Mom

Been 2 years since you left us. 2 very long years. I miss you. I love you. I can't wait to be with you. To laugh with you, sing with you, and probably weep a little too!

I love you, Momma!!

Susan and Karen, remember the beads Mom is wearing? Now they are the bracelets that I asked Ashli to make for us... :)

My day with Jay

Hanging out with my favorite little person

Playing with the water bottle. She has washed the windows, the piano, the table, and had a drink!!

Jayleigh and the pumpkins

Tyler and Jayleigh on our way to the pumpkin patch.me and my girl

Jayleigh wasn't as interested in me taking her picture as she was looking at all the pumpkins!

Jayleigh walking up and down the rows and rows of pumpkins! Good little stink...

And....the cast comes off...

So excited!!

Palintesburg

This park was similar to Yellowstone. Paved or hard packed dirt roads. You stayed on those roads and toured the park. It was very enjoyable, a little different than the wilderness camps that awaited us.

Hippo's enjoying a little cool mud...

Almost cute enough to want to bring home...almost!!

Have you ever seen a zebra crossing the road?? I have... :)

isn't he c-u-t-e??? ...he's HUGE!!

This is one of THEE best salads I have EVER had...it was simply delicious. I wanted to share it with all of you, although I am still working on taste-o-vision!!

I can't stand it...

This was taken at Sun City. This was the first place we stayed after reaching South Africa. It is a gorgeous place!!

These cute little critters, were right outside of our Hotel room...The people warn that you DO OT OPEN the door, or leave the doors open as the monkeys come in and help themselves. did you notice the skittles bag??? It wasn't from our room!! I took this picture from the inside of our room, through the sliding glass doors. Yes, it was VERY close!!

ooooooo, scarey!!

My sisters and me in front of the GIANT spiderweb!!

Ken, Susan and Karen. Before crossing the rope bridge!!
