Fall afternoon/evening

Why do they call this Fall? Because the leaves fall?
We need the dog whisper. Who is taking who for a walk?
Cute Tootle family going for a stroll.
Look------- no hands. Almost lost his pants before the walk was over.
Ryan and Joan playing pretend.
Auntie Jenny teaching Ryan to say "Auntie Jenny". It worked, he said Jenny and giggled.
Chesley and Dad and Maddie enjoying a cup of coffee on a beautiful San Antonio Sat. morning.
This would be our Sat. night dinner. Costco steaks. Yummy.
I forgot to take a picture of us all at the table. And I also forgot to take any Thanksgiving pictures. :( I guess I got frustrated when we took the turkey out and it wasn't ready so the lunch was delayed an hour. :(

Memories of CA...

Malyn/Snow White watching "Sleeping Beauty"
Mattie Sue: This is your Snow White doll I told you, you were getting for your birthday. Now I'll just take care of her until I think you are old enough or when I get the Belle doll.

Who wants a cupcake??? Wyatt and Mattie Sue and Jack are raising their hands. Malyn was happiest when everyone including her, sang Happy Birthday.
Making the cupcakes for Malyn's birthday party. Mom let us lick the containers that she mixed the cupcake mix up in.
A moment viewing God's beauty.
Boo and Malyn walking the grounds of the Montage in Laguna Beach. They spent two days here for their 5th Anni. then called us on Sunday to come and see how beautiful the place is.
Mattie Sue washing her feet off.
Mom/Dad, I think I like it here. She asked when we were going into the room without toys again. (the hotel room) Perfect description Mattie Sue.
Ahhh a mom daughter moment.
What a wonderful dad. Malyn insisted on climbing the big rock so up they went. The girl is fearless. Good job dad for not breaking her spirit. She probably had a wonderful view from there.
Playing in the waves.
Now is this the Nanny for that darling Arnold family. No it's the Nama that thought it was cold in CA, not 80+ degrees.
Boo and Mattie Sue running down the beach.
O there she is again. I stuck this in my suit case the last minute. It is also what I wore most of the time.
Arnold family enjoying the pool.
Beautiful coast line and beautiful water.


Girls at the table waiting for dinner. Notice the outfits in the rest of the pictures. They go on first thing in the morning and off right before bed. They even put them on over their PJ's.
Playing in the fire truck at the park.
30 minutes in the sand box.
Sat. morning sprinkle donuts..
Malyn picked out the sprinkle donuts and we saw sprinkles for a few days. We all gobbled them up and spilled crumbs.
Funny faces...
more funny faces...

Watching TV. We danced and sang and laughed. And I learned some new songs.
I want a hug Soupie.
We have the whole get up on here. Who said you can't slide with heels on?
Auntie Jenny got Malyn all the fairy's from Tinker Bell Movie. Auntie Jessica got her the Dora back pack but I didn't get a picture.
Singing and making cookies and eating cookie dough. A tradition in the Rudd, May, Arnold, Tootle families.
