Fall Family Pictures

The Shepherd grandkids! Dani, Easton, Reed, Eli, & Marian

Poor Eli, I they tried to get his pic in a really cool tree stump, after that he wasn't as good natured as he had been. Plus it was pretty chilly out there.

The Shepherd family clan (the colors provided by mother nature, and transported by Jeff and Jennafer for the bridge pics)

Ok take a look at Marian and Dani in the next few pictures.....

Marian grabbed a piece of candy (grandpa gave her), and Dani starts to moon everyone....

Marian drops the candy on the ground, while Dani continues to moon us....

I figure out what is going on (with Marian, I never knew what Dani was doing till I got the pics) and get after her and grandpa.

The kids got to play in the leaves after we were all done, as you can see, they took right to it :o)

Marian the Ballerina

The pretty fall colors outside my kitchen window :o)

Marian had her first Halloween party yesterday and she told me she wanted to wear he tutu and be a ballerina. She was so cute! She even had the poses down :o) Today for school though she wanted to be Winne the Pooh. :o)

Pom Poms and Chuck E Cheese

The kids had a jar they had to fill with pom poms and after it was filled they could go to Chuck E Cheese. (they could put a pom pom in after they washed their hands) So after many months of working at it they met their goal!

This bird one has always been Marian's favorite :o)

Reed was so excited to play all the games!

Boys and guns....

The girls loved hitting the sharks :o)

Lunch time!

Reed is such a ham! :o)

Yes Dani was still scared of Chuck E Cheese, but she warmed up a little by the end of our time there

Now they are working at getting a "build a bear", and they each have their own jars and a list of things they can do to earn a pom pom. :o)

Ready, Fence!

Here are Utah Valley's smallest and youngest fencers!
Here is Reed in his demonstration bout.

Here is Reed being the ref.

Our Dani Doodles :o)

Even Marian learned how to fence a little

En garde! (on guard)

Roxy cleaning Dani up after lunch.

Fun in the Fall!

We headed up to Wallsburg to get some family pics (which will be posted when I get them) in the beautiful fall leaves!

 Here the kids are just playing at Grandma & Grandpa's house

 And here they are all ready for the pictures in the chilly fall afternoon :o) They were pretty good considering they were all freezing :o) Marian only cried once after her candy she kept playing with dropped on the ground (and she got in trouble with mommy because of it). 

 These are just the ones that I took while everyone else was getting theirs taken

 I can't wait to see how the "real" ones of these will turn out!

 Poor baby Eli, just really didn't want to sit out in the cold for pics either, mom was much warmer.

 These are all the Shepherd Grandbabies! Dani, Easton, Eli, Reed, and Marian!

Thanks to Jennafer and Catherine who really organized it all! I think it worked out well!
