Changes

Been busy here, new grandbaby (#14) Check him out at http://andreasenarchives.blogspot.com , sore back, babysitting 2 other grandsons.

Making dolls, 4 now and another starting today for a sweet baby sis.

Fall is here and all the leaves are finally turning and snow is predicted for the end of the week.

Spud Harvest has started and big potato trucks filled with the tasty bakers.

Football season is here and 3 out of 4 wins is pretty good so far for BYU, and I have actually started watching the games, although I try to stay out of the Cougar Room, too many wild men in there!

I can't decide if I'm ready for winter yet, seems like summer went by too dang fast this year.

Oh well, ready or not here it comes!

Number 14 is here!

Meet the newest Andreasen! Born September 17th, weighing in at 5 lbs 11 oz and 19 in. Had a rough first few days but is now on the mend and raring to go!

We're making Progress Here!

Look who can stand up all by himself at 7 months old!! Of course we were all watching him like a hawk, but he can stand up there for a long time!


He likes to play with tools and watch tv, does that sound like any men you know??

Grandma has been busy making more dolls for granddaughters and is now working on a new one for someone very special. If you would like one, just let me know. No guarantees that I will make one for you, but I will sure think about it :).

Fall is Here!

It's very cool again here this morning and fall is definitely here except the leaves are not turning the beautiful colors, they are just turning brittle brown this year.

The farmers are harvesting grain and so hay fever is rampant and spud harvest is just a couple of weeks away.

Then it will be time to put all the garden stuff away and clean-up the yard one last time because then the snow will be flying and heaters will go on and long sleeves will be worn and sandals put away.

Where did the summer go????????

The Cleaning Fairy Didn't Show!

Well they call it Labor Day for a reason.....the cleaning fairy didn't show up at our house this morning so like it or not the dishes had to be done, beds made, floors swept and laundry done.
We did take time to drive into town the back way (going home traffic !!!!) and have a frozen yogurt and then watch some kids trying to walk a tightrope strung between two trees at the park.
And I did get a book finished and ANOTHER doll cut out, so I guess it was a holiday after all.

Victory!

I don't normally watch the football games that my sweet hubby loves so much, but when I saw the picture of the team with the huge team flag, it reminded me of Moroni carrying the title of liberty flag in the Book of Mormon and I couldn't deny the similarities in protecting "home, family and honor" and so I watched last nights game and was surprised at how involved I became in the action and excitement. BYU held their own against the #3 rated team of Oklahoma and defended their honor against all the naysayers who predicted a huge loss by BYU.

Now I am not saying that I will watch all of the future games, but I do understand a tiny bit more about why all of the men in my life love this team so much.

Maybe I am getting to deep in thought here, but could the team be a symbol of all that we fight against in the world today?? Could it be that when we cheer for our team that we are cheering for the victory over the invading army of the enemy? I don't know, maybe it's just a game after all.

Too Tired

I should put a new post on here, but I think I am just too tired to cope with it this evening. Maybe later.
