We decided to have a long overdue
fall cleaning (since we never did it in spring). Here is part of the
mess that resulted from the rearrangement of the dining room. |
|
Only these two could make a fort out of a mess of books... |
|
This is Button, in his natural state. |
|
This is what Roo looks like without her make-up on. |
|
Look at all that junk under the shelpf! |
|
Try not to druel, Mudge! |
|
A testament to the needfulness of cleaning. |
|
Again with the under the shelf junk! |
|
|
|
Pretty, pretty, wife! |
|
Sheesh! |
|
Jeffy is talking about something, but nobody is listening. |
 |
We spent a few days this month
doing some much needed cleaning around the house. Here is the office,
before the cleaning was to start. |
 |
This is the first month that
Grandpa and Grandma were here! We spent a Sunday down in Sun Lakes
having a birthday party for JT (and getting professionally
photographed, unfortunately). Anyway, LEGOS!!!!! |
 |
Tom at Church finally tied the knot (with Tina). SMOOTCH! |
 |
The things we find under shelves on cleaning day. |
 |
Mom's shawl. |
 |
LEGOS! |
 |
Happy Birthday! |
 |
More fun in Sun Lakes. |
 |
|
 |
Getting the stole wrapped arond the hands (ain't it speshul?). |
 |
Miss Jupe! |
 |
These would be onions. Nettie chopped all these up in preperation for Thanksgiving. |
 |
Back to Sun Lakes (why are these so out of order?). |
 |
Snookums Jupe. |
 |
Hi Roo! |
 |
Hummingbird. |
 |
Button and Jupe. Ain't it grand? |
 |

See what happens when you try to clean? The kids end up making a fort out of the mess! |

Roo drew this. |
 |
|

This is a dead lizard in the boy's treasure chest. A real treasure, this. |

Cleaning day again! |

 |
Why does Tom look so nervous? |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
Too late for Tom now... |
 |
|

 |
|
 |
At the wedding... |
 |
This year, as every year, it was
our turn to host Thanksgiving. This feat took lots of preperation
(some pics below), but well worth it! This year, I cooked up 5 turkeys
and two hams. |
 |
Ma!!!!!! |
 |
I love me. |
 |
Whats-his-name.... |
 |
Everyone had to sign this! |
 |
How did this picture make by the editorial staff? |
 |
Slanty picture. |
 |
Jon was playing the piano. |
 |
EVERYONE had to sign. |
 |
|
 |
I love whipped cream! |
 |
This is getting out of hand. |
 |
|
 |
See what I mean? Way out of hand. |
 |
Now people are wearing it! |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
The day after Thanksgiving, the kids and I met Pa & Ma at Rio Salado for a hike. This is the mighty salt river. |
 |
|
 |
By one of the many little man-made ponds. |
 |
Building a dam. |
 |
Roo had the best dam, I think... |
 |
We were getting a bit off trail here. |
 |
These three were throwing rocks at the coots. |
 |
What is it with kids and water? |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
As I said, Rio Salado! |
 |
Nettie-muffins. |
 |
DA BOY! |
 |
|
 |
I guess it had to happen. I had to get out the Christmas tree. |
 |
|

I love these. I told my wife that I loved her when she made hollupchures, and didn't love her when she didn't make me hollupchures. |
 |
|
 |
Here is me! |

Hi Lisa! |

Don't ask... |

We spent a lot of time on laundry... |

We put the kids outside. They can spill all they want. I don't care. |
