A wizard, Bro. Rapp and a bee

Not that anyone noticed my absence, but our computer got sick and had to spend a week at the computer hospital. Life went on as usual but I learned I could get a lot more done without this device around. Sad, but true.

Here is the latest from our little family.

In Sept. Skyler was asked by two girls to attend Sadie Hawkins. I didn't grow up around this kind of dating phenom, so it was fun to see Skyler be dotted on and asked in fun ways. The first girl doorbell ditched this contained filled with blue craft paper and goldfish. The paper was scrunched up and had words on it. Skyler put the words together to reveal the message. It said.."Out of all the fish in the sea, will you go to Sadie's with me?" He responed by making a poster and putting it on her car. The next girl came a couple days later and strung this movie film all over the front porch. the note said..." Sadie's would be picture perfect if you would go with me." He had already made arrangements to go with the first girl, so he drew a picture of an umbrella which said, I'd like to offer this rain check, sorry." and rolled it up with a candy bar inside and gave it to the second girl. A month later was Homecoming. He asked a girl to go and got a couple friends together. The group of 6 came to our house in the afternoon to decorate cakes and carve pumpkins. Then they took their dates home and a few hours later picked them up and had pictures takes in their dressy attire. THEN, they came back over here for dinner which was fondue, salad and breadsticks! What!! This was just homecoming! Can't wait till prom!

The twins have earned their Eagle Scout Awards and we are in the process of planning the court of Honor. There are 2 other kids who have also earned their Eagles and will be joining us. We will be getting out the invitations soon. It will be Sunday Dec. 18th.

Brielle is 14 months old and is walking everywhere. She is at that stage where she has to open every cupboard and drawer she sees. SInce we have new cabinets and din't want to scratch them up with the safety locks, we have found some nice thick rubberbandsthat we can wrap around the knobs. So far it works. She isn't talking yet, but can understand us pretty well. She is learning things like; nose, eyes, ears. She will pick up her shoes and bring them to us if she sees someone putting their shoes on. We have abandoned the bottle and she is good with her sippy cup. For Halloween she was a bumble bee. I found this costume at a yard sale for $2. I loved that it was so warm! She only went to a couple houses with ehr brothers, but it was fun. Caleb was a wizard and Kevin put this mask on that looked just like this guy from our ward!! We called him Bro. Rapp.
