This is Stella - one of Zara's puppies - not the best picture but she is enormous!! 6 months old and as tall as her mom, she does not quite have Zara's width but I really think she will be bigger than her mom!
She is trouble! She can get to
She is trouble! She can get to ANYTHING
on the counter and will eat what ever is in reach. She loves Grandma and her morning toast, she lays her head on Grandma's lap until she gets a bite. Pretty soon she will just raise up and steal all the toast!!I am a failure as a mother because I did not get pictures of all the kids and their costumes. Brenn and Ashley were by far the cutest!
Brenn and I were hunting for her costume (she is the Cheshire Cat) she told me something pink and purplee, preferable with stripes, cute but not slutty. I find the perfect dress, turn it around and it has a zipper right up the front!! A little slutty but so perfect we bought it anyway!
Found the perfect tights, great pink shoes, and purple cat ears! Check out Ashley's boots, they crafted a costume around them because they were too good to pass up!Logan went as the Hungry Howie's pizza delivery guy - we had pizza delivered and POW great idea, sorry no picture.
Dallin and his friends worked most of the afternoon and evening on their costumes and I went to bed before they finished so no picture either.
Brenn had to do a project demonstration different lighting techniques. Most of the kids used a marble, but Brenn thought that was boring so she used one of her old eyes instead.
Seems to match Halloween just a bit!
Post Edit: For those who do not know my darling daughter Brenn, she had cancer when she was 9 mos old and lost her right eye to that beast. Between Cryotherapy and Radiation her left eye was saved and surprisingly enough, she has really good vision from that. So her right eye is fake. I know you can't tell, well I can, but most people can't tell the difference. All of her life she had been proud, not embarrassed of her fake eye, boy do we have stories, someday I will recount the best of them. But that is where the prop came from for her fun art project.

I haven't been doing well on getting pictures lately, either. For a while I was really on the ball, but I'm afraid I've been dropping it way too often. (Returning to my old, pre-blog behavior.) Thank heavens my DIL is exactly the opposite, or I'd have no photos at all!
=)
What exactly do you mean about her "old" eye. Like- a real one......
I'm pretty sure this post proves I'm the favorite child -- sure, she tells you about Dallin and Logan, but the pictures are all me!! My dog, My costume, My art projects... Yup, I'm definitely the favorite child -- woo!!!!
Sorry Anon @ 4:34, its an old fake eye of mine, not real
No mention of the eye lost in the sand under the slide in kindergarten?
No mention of countless trips to the nurse in first grade because "her eye hurt"?
No mention of attending school with it out because her eye socket was swollen?
No mention of Logan trying to take his eye out when he was three?
Come on, Karen! So many stories! Don't leave your readership hanging!
And notice the time on this post. Yes, that really says four am.
Oh freak! I miss you guys. This is Paige by the way. Love the picture of Brenn's eye. Lol
