It's time to take a break!

That was a lot of leaves and he still has more to go.

Fall is Here (and so is the clean-up!

Cliff came home from his Virginia trip to find many leaves to be cleaned-up and so he is doing his best to complete the job before the winter comes on us. We love living in the woods and really enjoy the deer and even the bear even though they both can be a bother when it comes to all the flowers getting eaten up and the pond being torn apart because a bear wants to get my fish but we survive. and still love it.

Okay, mine doesn't look as good as it tastes!

But you really need to check out Vicky's cake on her blog. It is just the cutest and most awesome ever. Somehow if you know Vicky you know it is her cake. All it needs is a frog!!!

Great job, Vicky!

Is this how it is suppose to look?

Vicky and I are taking a fondant and gum paste class from Michaels and we are learning a lot.

This is our calilily. It was fun and we have two more classes. I did have a success in covering a cake with the fondant. I made my own fondant which does taste a whole lot better than the store bought but I had little powdered sugar lumps. Oh well, it was my first try.

From Primary to Seminary!

I teach the CTR class which consists of from 3 years to 8 years and this is Davey with one of my Seminary Students and I don't have many. That is what happens in a small branch. We are pretty close in our little branch and we love it here.

Sometimes you need a watchful eye in the forest!

Our trees have personality even though they don't keep the bears away from the bird feeder. The air is cooling and I know we will soon be seeing the leaves changing colors and then comes winter. It seems this summer has gone way to fast. I don't even remember enjoying the sitting on the back deck and watching the deer and squirrels. My favorite time is at dusk as the sun is going down the fireflies come out and do their little dance and make the back yard a twinkling forest.

Tucker and Grandpa are paddle boating. Who do you think is doing the most peddaling? They had fun playing and checking for the fish as Isaiah was fishing. It was two weeks of fun at the Hershey Thousand Trails park. I enjoyed it because I was close enough to home to run home and still do my Scentsy and pick up a few more grandkids and bring them back for a few days.

When they weren't fishing, swimming, or boating they were playing DS - Sims Animals. They kept busy with all the activities like the scavanger hunt where they came in first and won free ice cream cones.
