There are lots of October birthdays to celebrate!

There is nothing quite like looking at old photos to make you realize how much someone has grown!! This is Porter as a 15 month old?? Christmas time at the Arboretum. His b-day is coming up - watch for future posts!!

This was at the park in Provo where we had a graduation party for Hannah - an all-time fave photo of Porter!!

And here he is now - loving the Army look!

Miss Ida as a babe - and now she's walking and making sounds and folding her arms and posing as Hannah's child!!

Looks like she's mastered hand clapping too!! She and Christopher Columbus will be sharing a holiday!!

And there are countless photos of Joan - and this was all I could find of Fred - at either Joey's wedding or Clarissa's wedding - it was in Utah anyway - 2 or 3 years ago?? Fred is 67 on Wednesday - which is when most of you will read this!! Have a great day Fred!!

The Bontober/Octphober Babes at the world-renowned Cook Apartments in Centerville.

Maybe if she'd gone as Miss Bontober, the neighbors would have recognized her costume!! (instead she was Miss America - but nobody got it - she'd come back from each house and say, "They all think I'm a princess!")

Phoebe - still the leader, still the president!!

Some lazy summer days - pre-marriage for Phoebe.

Dad and I used to cut Bonny's hair - can you tell? Good thing she's so cute, so it doesn't matter that the lines aren't exactly professional looking!! Actually I thought it was a cute hair cut too - just doesn't work by today's standards does it?

Octphoeber meets the progeny of Bontober!!

And you'd think I'd have more shots of Erika too - probably do - just don't know where they are!! But this does capture the Erika we know and love - a la the 80's touch! Her big day is Thursday - hope it's a great day Erika!

I just like to post this shot every so often - because I love it so much!!

And today, October 6th, is Aunt Elsie's birthday - she was our Grandmother Agnes' sister. I don't have a picture of her, except the Busath family photo - and I'm not sure which one is Agnes and which one is Elsie. She's one of the two girls on the last row - I think she's the shorter one.
