WE ARE NO ORDINARY FAMILY...

Where should I begin? 

Perhaps I'll start with my bizarre daughter's family shoot, complete with awkward photos of her and her silly husband!

Skittles took the first photo of these four cuties!
My son, Cody - My daughter, Kiara - My niece, Shanae - My nephew, Cole
Red Skittle has attitude!
Love the raised eyebrow!
The Lillywhites
Mommy and Son
Like Father, like son!
Awkward!!!!!
The Fabbris
I love this couple too!
Or maybe I'll start with Ken, Scott and I pretending to be Picasso. (GJ was in Florida with her adorable granddaughter: Lemon Drop.)

I decided to do a self portrait of my future dead self.
Scott is incredibly talented. He found a photo of a waterfall and painted it.
And Ken also did a self portrait. Ha ha ha!
GJ thought it was more fun to hang out in Florida with this beautiful baby!
Of course, how could I miss sharing photos of my absolutely perfect granddaughter, Mango:

Mango with her sidekick, Jude
I love the yellow outfit.
An unhappy Mango
What a fun expression!
And my adorable grandson, Red Skittle:

Self confidence looks good on him.
He's got grandma wrapped around his finger!
Toooooo cute
Grandma's jealous.
Mommy's happy.
And I attended a Super Saturday. I was a crafting fiend. I even crafted MORE when I got home:

I had these buttons forever. Thought I'd add them to a frame.
I decided to make a Halloween equivalent.
I made dandelion salve for eczema and arthritis.
Super Saturday was sooo fun!
I know I didn't NEED another nativity... but I couldn't resist this Peace!
Mmmmm, they smell so good!
A pumpkin made out of a sock... so cool.
Side one
Side two
And I made a candle centerpiece with my future (2025) word!
And Scott somehow managed to grow these unusual mushrooms. They truly look like aliens. 

Completely unordinary!

THE HAPPIEST MOMENTS

Holidays are the best! And General Conference is one of our favorite holidays! What made this General Conference even better was that we spent it with our daughters, sons, and grandchildren. What a wonderful way to spend time with our prophets and leaders!

Red Skittle loves baking and making things with his aunt!
That smile and joy is contagious!
And I couldn't be happier cuddling my little Mango
during the Saturday afternoon session of Conference.
And hugging my Skittle while listening
to our church leaders.
Grandpa also helped quietly entertain
while we enjoyed the broadcast.
Between sessions, Skittle and I took a walk.
And, were silly with the Lillywhites!
I couldn't get enough of this sweet little girl!
And grandpa took a service nap with her too!
Don't forget the sweet roll tradition!
Jude really wanted some.

Then... Katia and Skylar took Mango to the pumpkin patch:

Katia is a wonderful mother to my granddaughter!
And Mango is definitely daddy's girl!
What a wonderful family!

And my niece had her baby! Luckily, GJ and I share grandkids, so I'm adding Lemon Drop to my growing list of grandchildren!

Mariah and Peter are so happy!
And little Lemon Drop was born JUST before Hurricane Milton in Florida.
Isn't she lovely?
Welcome to the world, Lemon Drop!

And this happened:

I love that Scott decorates his cubicle at work for the holidays!
I definitely help.
It's officially wear my eyeball hat and earrings time of the year!
Meanwhile, in primary, my accompanist, Brother Tyler, and I
caught the musical measles from the primary kids!

More pictures of Mango, just because she's adorable:

Grandkids and the Gospel of Jesus Christ really do make the happiest of moments!
