Pumpkins and Program

Jenny had us over to carve pumpkins and eat dinner.  We had a great time!  

Leah is going to be Cinderella for Halloween so we made a pumpkin to coordinate.

Dallin made Darth Vader.  He will also be Darth Vader for Halloween.

Joshua made a storm trooper and Evan and Joshua will be storm troopers for Halloween.

The kids enjoyed a show while we carved.

They enjoyed playing outside after the rain stopped.

Rylan helping Michael gut the pumpkins.

Last Sunday we had our primary program.  It was so good!  Joshua volunteered himself for a solo.  I shocked when he volunteered.  He did a wonderful job singing and I was very proud!  The kids did great with their parts and songs!  I love primary!

We had fair day on Monday.  The kids and I went with friends to the Arboretum.  We had a great time at the pumpkin patch.

The goats were hungry and eating lots of green leaves.  Evan wouldn't get close but enjoyed watching the kids feed the kids.

We also went to the concert.  The kids went and danced on the stage. They had a great time!

We also spent lots of time at the park during house showings.  We have done homework and had plenty of dinner picnics there.

We also got to go to the boys awards assembly.  Both boys are on the A honor roll.  Dallin also got the Top Cat award, which is like a citizenship award.  I am so happy with how well my boys are doing in school.  They are well above grade level and there teachers have nothing but wonderful things to say about them.  It warms my heart.  

Fall Weekend

Leah wants to be Cinderella for Halloween, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity to go to the Arboretum in costume and take a picture with the coach.  She was in heaven.  

Evan and Rylan ran around.  They weren't much into taking pictures.

Leah posed and was happy to take pictures.

This baby didn't do a bad job posing either. 

The kids had Friday off so we rode bikes and played at the park.

The kids have tomorrow off too, so more playing with friends!

I also ran a half marathon.  This one was harder for me, because of the summer of sickness.  After pneumonia I had to work my way back, but I finished and it was perfect weather!

Toughest Mudder and Scouts

We got to cuddle with Thiago this week. He's so sweet.

Leah was loving on him.

Evan was nervous but wanted to hold him

Joshua had a pack meeting.  He loves scouts and has great leaders.  

Michael finished the Toughest Mudder.  I was so proud.  He did great!
