This title has so many meanings. It is one of my favorite times of the year. A chill in the air, the Gambel Oak and Quaking Aspens setting the mountains ablaze with their reds and yellows. The anticipation of the holidays, and what joys and new traditions they may bring. But today it justly describes …

Erik’s Teeth
A couple years ago Erik had some major dental work done up at Primary Children’s Hospital. The Janke gene pool dictates that teeth be made of nougat. As you all know, the FDA still has not been able to identify nougat! Anyway, I found this picture of his teeth before his surgery. ….poor guy!
Dinosaur Rides
We stopped at Grandpa Craig’s on our way to Carlsbad. While we were there we visited our good old friend Rex, Tyrannosaurus Rex! Here’s a picture and a video from our play time at Grandpa’s park…
Memorial Day

Grandpa Craig and Grandma Robyn invited us to have brunch with them last Sunday. We had a great time. It got really exciting for the boys when Santa flew in on his shiny white helicopter! You should have seen the beard on this guy, he must have been the real Santa! The un-marked aircraft was …

Fall Boys
I love fall! I love the cooling temperatures and the anticipation of the first big snow. I love the sights and smells of fall. Most of all I love the rake, jump, repeat tradition!
Henry the Fifth
Henry is turning five! He is such a great kid, and as we have all experienced, has great comedic timing! We cherish our moments with our H-dog. Here are some memorable Henry photos. Moments after the ‘what are looking at’ photo in the tub, Henry burst into song singing The Wild Rover! What a ham…
Halloween 2009
The Janke’s had a great Halloween! The boys made good use of their costumes attending school parties, friends parties, family parties, trunk-or-treat at the church, and terrifying the neighborhood on Halloween. I had a big scare on Halloween, I thought the Utes were going to lose to Wyoming! Ugh! But, in typical Utes fashion, they …
