Halloween!!!

Yah! Halloween came and it went. Everyone is tucked safely in bed so ready to sleep. We started the day at the library where Witch Matilda came and told stories. Then watched movies and then it was finally time to trick or treat. I think this year, I was more excited than the kids. Abigial was a witch, Wyatt was a cow, Joshua was Yoda, and Jacob was Harry Potter. We had fun trick or treating.

First Snow of the Season

My kids prayers are being answered. They have been praying for it to snow for a month. Today luckily there are off track and it snowed!! They promptly put their snow clothes on and began playing in the snow.

Wyatt was not sure what to think of the snow. He liked it, but at the same time he was very cautious.

I am grateful my kids now have something to do while not in school.

Space Derby

Tonight at Pack Meeting was the Space Derby. Jacob had fun making his ship. The first time it flew it didn't go very far, then the second time it flew it took first place. Way to go Jacob (and Dad- because he did most of the work). It was a fun pack meeting. Good job Jacob.

Update on our Family

So it has been a very long time since I posted anything. Nothing of iterest has happended until this weekend. I think we packed a months worth of happenings in.

It all started on Thursday. Abigial's kindegarten class went to the zoo. Wyatt and I went along with her. We had a great time. We saw the baby elephant and the baby giraffe. They were sooooo cute!!



Then on Friday John took the kids all on a date (except Wyatt) and they went and saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. They all had a good time. Then I went to our Super Saturday Make up day and painted until 11:00 p.m.

This year we have regional conference and our stake has been invited to go to the conference center. So Saturday morning John went down to the priesthood session and the kids and I went shopping. Then that afternoon we went to the Scarecrow Festival and Thanksgiving Point. I didn't quite know what to expect because the kids got free tickets from school. Wow!! We sure didn't plan enough time to spend there. There was tons of stuff. All kinds of bounce houses, games, food and pony rides.





Abigial waited in line for an hour to ride the pony. She has been waiting for years to ride a pony. This was here dream come true!!!




The kids got to ride these little bike racers as well.

Then after that we took my sister out dinner for her birthday. Her birthday is this coming week.

Today we went down to regional conference. It was so cool for my kids to see the conference center. It was really neat. The Prophet was there. It was so cool. My kids really enjoyed it. I am so proud of Jacob. He took notes and eveything. He is turning into quite the great boy.

After that we booked it up to Kamas and had dinner with Johns parents.

So after all that it is time to sleep ...

General Conference Weekend

This weekend has been a great weekend. My Mom was able to come down this weekend and on Friday we went shopping. Then all my sisters and their families and my mom came to my house for dinner. Then we played games.

On Saturday we watched conference. It was wonderful. Then we did a little bit of winterizing in our backyard.

Sunday we were going to go to John's mom's for dinner and to watch conference but Abigail woke up with a fever and a very sore throat. I took her up to instacare and she has strep throat again!!! So we had to stay home and just have conference with ourselves. It was good.

I am always glad when conference is over because that is a lot of TV watching. I get a little burned out of sitting on the couch that long.

But it was wonderful sessions. A lot to think about and change in our lives.
