No Camera! No Pictures!

I think if I have one legacy to leave my family, it will be the lack of pictures! We went to Carolyn's today and took the kids to the park and had a picnic! The weather was gorgeous and our grandkids were so cute and fun to be with. I wanted to take some pictues of them and realized that I had forgotten my camera. Yet again! My kids just laugh at me now when I say I want to take some pictures because even when I have the camera with me, I get so involved with what I am doing I forget to snap the picture! When James or Travis would be playing sports I would be yelling so loud that the camera would be forgotten and the picture never taken. Little red-headed Grant will be one in January and he was toddling all over the park grass...falling down and getting back up to run some more. I think he was really enjoying the freedom. Juliana and Malia were making us ice cream sundaes out of sand and Juliana was leading us in singing a song that she made up about rainbows and ice cream! I love them so much! They are growing up so fast!

Can I just say that this is the time of year that I really "give thanks" for living in Arizona! The temperature is perfect. The nights are like heaven and we have gorgeous sunsets. The Harvest Moon tonight was a sight to behold!

I got my first full paycheck last night from my new job! It would be nice if we could even make a dent in expenses, but nooooo! I had to have two crowns on my teeth that needed to replace old fillings, so guess what I am paying for! I guess I should be grateful that we can pay for them at all! The job is going OK, but standing in one place for 7-8 hours is a little hard on my legs. At least now I am working more in cosmetics and I can move around a bit more. There are so many people looking for jobs right now that I feel happy to even have a job, let alone one that is so close to home!
