Halloween Greetings

We carved pumpkins with a family in the ward last night and it was a blast! My pumpkin was supposed to be with the help of the 3 year old, Packer but he was a better supervisor than helper.  Very encouraging though, "That looks good!"  Hope you are all having a great Halloween week.  Can't wait to see pictures of the kids' costumes! 

It was great to see everyone (almost everyone) at the General Conference gathering.  Nice to see Jenn and Scott (and the furry thing hanging off his lip) via a Google hangout. Mom's food was awesome (per usual), the orchard didn't disappoint, and the company couldn't be beat.  Can I just say what a delight it is to watch the cousins play together.  I'm so impressed with how well they get along.  They're all so above average!

Now we're counting down the days until Thanksgiving.  I just can't get enough of you fine peeps!
Be on the lookout for Thailand pics!  Coming soon.....

 

I just think this is the cutest picture of Mr. Grant!  What a handsome guy!

 

A family gathering memory!

 

This is the field behind our house.  I was so glad Scott was able to capture this beautiful scene that happens quite often the morning after a rainy night or heavy dew

A Few Fun Nilsson Pics

Hello family!  This is so fun!  Leave it up to Jenn to think of an idea like this one.  I just wanted to include a few photos of our family since our kiddos seem to be growing up way too fast.  We are enjoying school together and the kids seem to be excited about learning.  It is fun being able to learn right along with them.

We actually got to see this butterfly hatch from its chrysalis!  It was pretty much incredible!  Addy loved being able to hold it while waiting for its wings to dry out.  I love hands on learning!

Here are a few of our little miss Eliza.  The spiked hairdo represents her personality!

Have a great day!  Love, the Nilsson bunch.

p.s. I'll post some pictures of our massive hailstorm once we get them uploaded.
