Sydney's Blessing

Sydney was blessed Sunday, November 4th. The boys were very excited to see Sydney all dressed up. It was nice to have most of my family there for the blessing. I was very excited to see my grandparent, that they made the drive down for there great granddaughters blessing. Afterwards we had just a small get together with just family at my parents house. The food and company was great! It was a beautiful day and I feel very blessed.

How Time Flies

I can't believe how time flies sometime. One month makes a huge difference. Looking at how much Sydney has changed made me reminisce over my other babies (ignore me in the pictures). 

Can you tell them apart?

Student of the Month

Carter was awarded the Student of the month for Courage! I am so proud of him. Carter has come a long way from last year. He has worked very hard. I also know his Teacher Mrs. Simon has been really great for him this year! I feel like my prayer have been answered. The whole family came to the assembly to support Carter in his achievement.

Halloween Fun

I love how Halloween seems to get extended over a week or so rather that just one day :)  Our boys got to have a trunk or treat/carnival at their school. My super heros! They had so much fun and got a nice little stash of candy.

Our ward also had a trunk or treat/carnival. There even was a spook alley which my boys LOVED! Grandpa and Nana came to enjoy the festivities, which was nice to have them help me with the kids. Carter was having too much fun being a scary Green Lanter. He really wanted to be something scary but we didn't have a scary costume, so I got some face paint and fake blood (which seemed to do the trick). Carter stopped trunk or treating and spent most of that time by my car trunk trying to scary the people coming by :)

Jake took the boys out to go trick or treating on the actually Halloween. Needless to say the boys scored on tons of candy.

Stewart Family Cabin

We were invited to spend conference weekend with the Stewart family at their cabin in Duck Creek.
I was a little worried about the drive, since it was our first trip since having Sydney. She did surprisingly well and made it in one piece :)
Jake and I fell in love with the cabin! It was perfect and so much fun! My boys were in heaven, playing outside, building forts, riding four-wheelers every chance they got. It made us want to go to PineValley soon. Great company and great food, what more can a girl ask for (and you know how I love my food). I loved how each family rotated meals. We ate so well, I could kind of see how polygamy could work ;) J/K
We didn't want the weekend to end. It was so nice to unwind and spend time with the family.
