Something CUTE!

My birthday was earlier this month, as usual I was spoiled.  I went pumpkin shopping first.  I got 3 of the CUTEST pumpkins.  The kids pitched in with Rick to get me an awesome,  CUTE camera bag.  I love it!  It will combine purse and camera bag in one. Rick was CUTE to get me a laptop.  I have a CUTE red one already, and the one he got was not CUTE or user friendly with my arthric fingers.  He saw my disappointment and went and got me a ipad 2.  I love it. Did I mention it has a super CUTE, PINK cover too.  I love CUTE, what can I say. Thanks to everyone for the CUTE BD wishes and fun.
I can not get enough of these CUTE pumkins. 
The CUTE pumpkin lady, Lynda.  She makes and personally names and describes each pumpkin and its personality.  I bought "Lady GAGA" and two other ones.

I bought the CUTE one on the right also.

Fun Filled Saturday...with a blast from the past.

Today was a really busy exciting day. It started off with a early morning trip to the YMCA for Ike's basketball games. We haven't been able to make it due to church, Papa's knee, and other things that have come up. So we were determined to make it today. Ike did great.  He made two baskets and tried to get every rebound. Kinda of reminded me of football when the kids went crashing to the floor to get the rebound, but it was entertaining. The blast from the past came at the end of the game, when Papa took Jakie out to make some baskets. When Rick started dribbling the ball, my mind was taken back to that skinny senior dribbling the ball down the court. For a minute I was back in the past watching and cheering him on. It was a weird moment. I guess I am getting old.
Sometimes things got a little boring so Ike tried new positions.



     Football anyone?


 Ike scored on this trip down the court.

Always easier to run down the court when you've scored.


 Flash from the past.

It helps to have a Papa that is 6'3.'

Then it was off to Bay's Baptism.  It was such a sweet day.  She looked so serene in her beautiful white dress that Grandma Leseberg had spent so much time making. It was so awesome to see her father take her gently down into the baptismal font and baptize her.  Cute Grandpas gave talks on Baptism and the Holy Ghost.  Aunt Bri sang a sweet primary song on baptism.  The chapel was full of friends and family, members and non-members alike.  It was truly a wonderful day. 

After the service, we headed over to Brandon and Loo's house to eat and have Bay open the presents we had gotten her for her Birthday.  She loves Harry Potter.  She got several  Lego sets for her Birthday, this is the one we got her.  
We are so thankful for our Family, and all the blessing we have received. We again missed our Virginia crew, and other loved ones far away.

It's Great to be 8!

Bailey will be our first grandchild to turn 8.  She is so excited to be baptized on Saturday.  Because of Grandma and Grandpa Leseberg and family coming we decided to go to I Hop a few days early. Today however,  Aunt Bri and Jakie went with us.  Ike was at Science Camp, so he missed out.  We had a nice breakfast, and tried on some clothes for school. I cannot believe how fast the last eight years have flown by.  She is a sweet, wonderful, girl and we love her! Her Auntie Bri took these pictures of her at the Houston Temple. She was wearing her baptism dress.
