Sunday Pictures/New Calling

Ok. Is he cute or what! Sam is sixteen months old. He is such a joy!! Two more months till Nursery...which will be such a relief. He is a busy little boy!

This is not the greatest pictures of the girls. Hailey refuses to look at the camera.

Today at church I was released from the Primary Presidency. I had been in for almost 2 1/2 years. I remember being so scared to do sharing time (this was my first time serving in primary) and now I am so sad to leave. I know that my time in Primary was for me to learn so many things. My testimony has been strengthened and I have been blessed for my service. It was an emotional day but we made it. My new calling is in Relief Society helping with Homemaking. I am not really sure what I will be doing but I'm sure I will love it!

No More Tree

My cute Sam loves to be outside!

Out tree used to be as big as our neighbors you can see in the picture.

Ellie being silly. She loves doing a project with her Dad!

So I took Hailey to the dentist on Saturday late afternoon and when I came home I found David in the front yard sitting by a large stump. He was talking about trimming our front tree because it was getting out of control big and growing on our house...but he got a little wild hair and cut the entire tree down. I was in shock. It was a little late and the trick or treaters were coming so a couple of our good neighbors helped David take care of most of the tree.

Last of Halloween!!

Here are some cute final pictures of the girls on Halloween. I need to put Sam in his costume just to take some pics. I took the girls to just a few houses and Sam stayed home with David. He said they were having fun answering the door and Sam figured out that the kids were dressed up and he found his costume and brought it to David to put on. We had about 103 trick or treaters. It was easy to count since we gave out the popcorn. It was crazy!!

Halloween...Is it over yet?

Hailey and Elsie at trunk or treat!

Hailey and Carson Hanks at our Trunk or Treat! He is a real cowboy he took first place in Mutten Busting year.

Ellie and Hailey at school. They made worms in dirt and mud! Hailey loves going to school she thinks she is such a big girl! Sam came too but he did not even make a peep...I kind of forgot he was there!

Ellie, Treyson (the little boy we babysit), Sam, and Hailey at Dave's work.

Hailey at Ellie at Dave's work. Hailey loved the Mickey Mouse so we had to take a picture.

Halloween is not even here and already we have had trunk or teat at church, Hailey had a party at preschool, Ellie had a party at school, and we went to David's office trick or treating. My kids have so much candy I can feel the cavities coming on. I think on Saturday I will only let them go to about 5 neighbors and call it good. I think they will have more fun handing out candy. Actually we are going to hand out microwave popcorn and pencils.

Time Out and My Birthday

I went with some friends to "Time Out for Women" last month. It was a great time to be inspired and have some good laughs with friends. We stayed in a hotel in Boise on Friday night and then continued on to more time out on Saturday (my birthday). When I got home the girls had helped David make a cake and he had taken them to the store to pick out a present. They both know me so well. They both picked out a cute bracelet (which is in the pictures). Except Hailey really didn't want me to have hers....I haven't even seen it ....I think she has it somewhere. Here are some fun pictures.

Pre School Halloween Party

Rylan, Elsie, Hailey, and Ryan

Some friends and I started a little Pre School group. They go once a week for a couple of hours. It has been so fun for me and for Hailey. She has her own little thing to do and it has helped her with her letters and such. Below is a picture of the first day of school (I'm a little slow at posting) and some pictures of the Halloween party we had today. They had such a great time! We sang, they did a bean bag toss, pin the nose on the pumpkin, and frosted cup cakes!!

Sam keep trying to steal candy!!!

We love our Broncos! David was pretty excited to see Sam in his new Bronco gear I bought him! David couldn't stop smiling....finally someone to put in a sports jersey!!

Yes, that is me in a Bronco shirt. For 5 years I have held strong about not purchasing any Bronco gear but after the first game I decided I am a fan. My heart still belongs to the Aggies but I can cheer for the Bronco's. (Plus it is funnier because...well they are pretty good). David had gone to the Broncos first game in Washington DC and when we picked him up me and Sam were decked out and well....he was very surprised and happy to see us in Bronco gear!!!!!
