HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!

Pumpkin Farm

We went to Aplin Pumpkin Farm last night. It was so much fun!! We got to cut sunflowers and pick out pumpkins and of course I can't forget the animals...the bunnies were the biggest hit with Evan and Sarah and now that's what they both want for Christmas...a cute little bunny...yeah, no, don't think so =) We got some popcorn and boiled peanuts (which I'm sorry to say must be an aquired taste...I don't like them) It was a fun night and has become a tradition of ours everywhere we have lived.

Comfortable???

I don't know why Liam decided to lay on the table rather than the couch or even the floor...doesn't seem like it'd be that comfortable to me =D

Evan's Birthday Party

Talent Show

Sarah and her friend Maddie performed in their first talent show!! They sang a song and had some little dance moves that they made up to go with the song. They were both soooo, soooo nervous but they did a good job and it turned out pretty cute. It was for their Activity Days Program at church. There was a huge turn out and it was really fun to see all of the girls' different talents! (Sorry the pictures are so dark and that there aren't more...my battery died and I was thankful to get these few)

Arrow of Light

Evan received his Arrow of Light Award last night!! This is Cub Scouting's highest award and the only Cub Scout patch that can be worn on the Boy Scout Uniform. What made the night even more special was that he received the award along with his two best buds Daniel and Colton =D Way to go boys!! Great Job!!

Liam's first "real" haircut

Bill took Liam to the barber's for his very first "non-mom" haircut. It turned out really good and he sat on Bill's lap so nicely. He looks like such a little boy now :)

"find joy in the journey"

I loved Pres. Monson's talk during the Sunday morning session. Talk about inspiring!! It really hit home with me when he talked about how quickly time flies and how soon we will be wishing we had piles of dirty laundry and kids running around the house. It seems that most days I get so caught up in the everyday chores of raising a family and keeping a house that I forget to take time and really enjoy my kids and family. This is something I need to do more often and I need to worry less about what my house looks like=D Seems like this would be easier and much more fun anyways. So my new goal is to jump on the trampoline with the kids when they ask me to and play Barbies with Sarah and video games with Evan instead of always being busy with something else and telling them I'll do it later...cause later never comes and today is what is important!!!
