Saying Goodbye...

Last night Scott and I drove up to University Hospital to say goodbye to his granny. It was hard to go into her room and see her laying in her bed so motionless. I was yearning to hear her say,"hey, doll how are ya? You look lovely." I sat by her bedside held her hand and thanked her for being my friend, for loving my Scottie so much, and loving my little ones. I am so grateful for the time she was here in Utah that she came to eat pumpkin pie at my house, visit with my kids while I had Dr.'s appts, and having bbq's at Steph's house. I am grateful that I got to really spend time with her a few years back as she helped me sew fabric blocks together in hoping to get a quilt done(we got all the blocks sewn, but regretfully never pieced the quilt together) she was a perfectionist at the sewing machine and often times checked my lines and literally made me start over from the beginning, but I loved it. I loved hearing all of her stories of her days growing up in England. I will miss our weekly check in calls, and her letters that she used to type to us that always managed to have a sticker of a cat on it somewhere(in homage to her love of cats, and closing every letter with "love granny & puddin' followed closely with a pawprint)
It is hard to say goodbye, but the thing that makes it feel a little better is knowing that she knows how much she was loved by me. Love you Nana Peg!

Next Project Runway Star??


This year Emerson was introduced to stitching by her gramma Warrick. Emmy loved that hobby and talked all the time of "making things". We had asked the girls what they wanted to do this year be it dance, gymnastics, art etc. Emmy was not interested in any of those and then lo and behold I found a flier for sewing class, I mentioned it to Emerson and the next day I was calling to sign her up. She LOVES it!! She has been in class for a month and so far she has made a hair scrunchy, this cute book bag, and she is finishing up on some fall pumpkin decorations. Now she really wants to make some clothes, doll clothes and a night shirt. I guess it is time now for me to whip out the sewing machine. Watch out Project Runway.....Emerson Colquitt is on her way to big the next top designer:)

TRICK-O TREAT!!

This is the only photo I got of Emerson at her school Halloween party. She looked so cute! What a fun class she has this year.
Don't we have the cutest grandparents in the world? They stopped over on Halloween to see the kids and to bring us a darling Halloween decoration to display next year.

Scott, Codee, and Cohen passing out candy at the trunk-o-treat. Codee went around asking everyone there for a pepsi:)


The kids starting round 2 at the trunk-o-treat. These kids scored big time this year!


After the trunk/treat we went over to visit my sis and bro/law at their cute new house. They gave each of the kids a special treat. We love having you guys live so close...now if we could only get you to babysit every once in awhile:)

Scott and I dressed up this year as well. Doesn't Scott made a beautiful pregnant lady? Somebody shoot me if I ever end up looking like that. Love ya hun, and I am so glad you have such a fun time on the holidays.

Emerson as the spider witch bride. A pretty dang cute one at that!


Claire as a "nice" witch and her pet crow!


Cohen as Elmo. He was too interested in what was in his bucket.


He HATED wearing this costume. I think he thought Elmo was eating his head. Poor kid...scarred for life:)




Happy Halloween Everyone!!
