WHAT'S GOING ON IN MURRIETA?

What's going on in the E & K household?

 Lindsey got a new haircut and enjoyed wearing boots on "boot day".

 Nate also got a styling new haircut!

Travis keeping up with his music.

Nate on drums. Can you spot him?

Good looking trio.

Watch out Murrieta. A new driver will soon be on the road. Passed his written test,soon the driving part.

Ah yes, the picture!

Erik recovering from surgery on his shoulder. Should be good as new in (xxx weeks, in time for Erik & Kristin to spend Thanksgiving in Indiana.

The surgery went well. Dr. (who is around 60) said it is the worst he has ever seen! Congrats, Erik!

Home at last. Dexter needs a nap too.

Super mom keeps them all on track!

DINNER AT GRANDMA'S

A lot is going on at the K & C house. Newly sanded floors, building a new mud room, getting a room ready for the returning missionary, dealing with my stuff in the garage, just to mention a few!  The poor guys are without a stove and fridge, table and chairs (they had to be moved into the living room until the floors dry) and no place to sit, so it makes it kind of hard to cook  - - especially for a family of six, using only a microwave! 

Hence the invitation to come to Sunday dinner at Grandma's. I wasn't sure I could remember how to cook for a group, but it did come back. 

Going along with the usual Agle tradition, we had Mexican food: chicken enchiladas, re-fried beans, Spanish rice and salad and of course, chips, salsa, olives and corn (oops - I forgot the corn!) lemonade or water.  This was followed by a rousing game of Mormon Bridge with ice cream and cookies for dessert. 

It was fun to have my first dinner party and we fit everyone around the table quite nicely. 

 Thanks, Ken for taking the picture.

 Look, but don't touch the Hummels!

And here's some pictures of the new mud/laundry room.

 Such a better lay out. Lots more room.

He moved the washer and dryer to the other wall which made the counters much more accessible.

There will be another seat like this on the other side, but slightly narrower. He removed a wall and a door and rewired, etc. Yes, Ken did all the work himself and designed the seat. Nice job.

YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU

Last night I had the delightful experience of attending a play at Nathan Agle's school, entitled, 

"You Can't Take It With You."

This is a high school production and it was excellent.

 Well-cast, great costumes, good acting and nice set design.

 I attended with Ken and Steven and it was a really fun evening.

Meeting his future in-laws.

Who could resist that sweet face?

The set, and most of the cast.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. . .

 It's not every day you turn 78! In fact, I think it only happens once in a life time.  Suzanne planned the party and it was very special. Dennis and Sue, Danielle, Sashy and Curtis, and of course Ken, Coppelia and kids came. She served 3 different soups with bread and crackers. It was impossible to tell which soup was the best.

When I arrived, this beautiful cake was waiting for me. Danielle has a dear friend who does cakes professionally. 

Sue envisioned what she wanted and "Amy" did the rest.

Had to get a picture with the cake. 

 On the trunk are Dad's and my name and there is a leaf for each child and their spouse.

 Each large cupcake represents the grand children and the smaller ones are the great-grandchildren.

That's a lot of cupcakes! They were delicious. Each leaf on the cupcake has the name of the child.

Here's Rhiannon' and Eddy's family. Everything was edible.

Can you see the iridescence on the leaves?

It was a great evening and I felt very special.

EVENTS IN MAPLETON

Here's a few photos from the Mapleton Agles

I went to an award ceremony at Sophie's school and saw many interesting displays.

Among the guests was this here cowboy!

I also noticed this cute couple.

Here's Sophie getting her award along with two others in the same category.

Steven with a tall guy!

CHINESE DINNER AT HALLOWEEN TIME!

As we wanted, when Ken returned from China, they hosted a dinner and slide show. The most impressive was the Great Wall of China slides because they hiked about 8 miles on a very rough, treacherous part of the Wall. It was a very enjoyable evening.

 If you look closely you can see Ken's newest makeover project. - - turning the laundry room into a MUD and laundry room. A wall has been removed, also a door, and the washer/dryer re-positioned for a better lay out.

 Sophie in her new glasses.

 Setting the table. Chopsticks were optional.

 Some cute Halloween decorations. They were everywhere. Very festive.

As I drove away, I took this picture of their cute home.
