Painting

So, on Saturday about 6:00 p.m., I got the bug to paint our living room. Of course we didn't finish Saturday night so on Sunday we had to live in coas. Then on Monday I had to wait for John to get home. We chose a really dark brown and I didn't like it so we started over again on the walls. We painted our backwall a deep plum and I like it alot. We finally got the tan right and now I love our front room. It feels so nice and cozy. But what a crazy few days!!!!

Busy Day

So today was a busy day. First off we had the Laws over while Janalee went to a meeting. I caught a good picture of these boys, and Sarah coloring!!! Funny, because they are usually running around playing Star Wars. Today must have been an off day for them.

Then I Wyatt was smiling so cute, I tried to capture his smile, but my camera takes too long to take a picture. Here are some photos anyway.




Then later on today my kids and their friends went outstide and raked leaves and bagged them. Cool kids. I did have to pay them. Money incents. I am glad that some of the leaves are raked.

Snow Day

We woke up to snow today!! So my kids were up at 7:00 a.m. and out in the snow playing and building a snowman!!

Happy Halloween

Well, Halloween is done and over. My kids were so excited today to go tricker treating. By the time the night came they were all pooped out they had been so excited all day long. So we went trick or treating and got lots of candy.

Here are pictures. Jacob was a clone, Joshua Darth Vader, Abigail dalmation and Wyatt a lion.

Happy Halloween.












Here is some of Wyatt thinking the candy bowl looks really good!!

Pumpkin Carving

Tonight for FHE we carved pumpkins. My camera was running out of batteries so I only have one picture. We will get more pictures on Halloween when we light them.

Wyatt's first day eating solids

Today, we fed Wyatt for the first time. He loved the rice cereal. All of my other babies have spit it out and didn't know how to swallow it. He loved it and didn't have any trouble eating it. Here are some pictures.

Wyatt's first sick day

Well, it has arrived. Wyatt has experienced (or should I say is experiencing) his first time being sick. He has croupe and a horrible cold. I took him to the doctor on Wedensday and they gave him a steroid so he could breath. He has breathed easier since then as long as we stay home. If I take him out then he starts not being able to breath. So we have been a little coupe up!!!! He is the most whinny of my children when they are sick. He sounds like a little puppydog. Just whines and whines.

Two days ago Wyatt rolled over for the first time. He hasn't done it since but I am sure it will happen.

Last night we went to a pumpkin carving party. Everyone brought soup and we had soup and carved pumpkins. My kids loved it. It was lots of fun.

Dutch Oven Party & Serena's Birthday

So last night was our wards dutch oven cook-off. It was lots of fun. John made chili, corn bread, and snickers cake. It was really good food there. John took first place for the Snickers cake and 2nd place for the corn bread and 3rd place for the chili. The food there was so good. I forgot my camera so I don't have pictures of the food, but I have pictures of the awards. Way to go John.




Today was Serena's birthday so we had her over for lunch. We had taco salad and Snickers cake. She loved it. Here are some pictures of her blowing out her candles and of Abigail eating her cake.

Happy Birthday Serena - I hope your wish comes true.

First Snow of the Year

So today, we woke up and it had snowed the first snowfall of the season. (Yes, way too early in my opinion.) My kids were so excited!! Abigail and Joshua couldn't wait to go out in it and play in it. They hadn't even gotten dressed before they went out. They had fun for a few minutes in their PJ's. Then they came in and had breadkfast and put on a coat and went back out.

General Conference Weekend

This last weekend we went to visit my parents for General Conference. I was good to so them. My Dad has lost all comprehension. Sometimes it was funny to listen to him talk. Other times it is a very spiritual experience. I know his soul is trying to communicate with my soul. It is a neat experience.

Last night we went to the temple and did sealings. It was neat to hear the promises and blessings that are yours when married in the temple. On my wedding day, I don't remember even hearing the prayers. It is cool to be able to go back and hear them again.
