Great Nursery

Today was a fabulous Super Saturday activity that I thoroughly enjoyed- and the best part? The nursery! What a blessing it is to socialize, craft some projects, and enjoy a tasty lunch while knowing that my kiddos are safe and having a ton of fun - and being fed! I was just so impressed and thankful for the nursery that was provided during today's activity so that I could really enjoy myself and get my projects done. Every time I went to check on the girls they were just having more and more fun- what a great, great blessing for me today.

First Halloween Party

Tonight was a little crazy- we went to a Halloween Carnival at Veronica's new ward in Silverdale and had a lot of fun. The crazy part was that Drew and I were in full costume, but hardly anyone else was (including kids). We just decided to roll with the punches and have a good time nonetheless (good call) and I'm so happy that we did. Because of my bright and shiny costume we were able to meet several people in the ward- so Veronica will know some people better- plus there is something just so funny about a gawking child who can't take their eyes off you : )!! It was especially fun and a great blessing to see Abigail and Lauren just having a wonderful time. I've been working hard on finishing their costumes and they just were so cute and comfortable, and were having a fun time running about.

New Mutual Night

Tonight is our new mutual night for the indefinite future. The switch has been fun and it was such a blessing tonight to see so many youth- from both wards- gathered together and feel the spirit that these future leaders have. I am so blessed to be involved with these great young people and am happy to know and love them.

Last Harvest

Autumn is upon us and it is time to reap what we've sown in our garden. What a blessing it is to have a garden! I am honestly just as fascinated as my kids when it comes to the miracle of how plants grow- it's just amazing to me that we can grow and eat our own food from just a tiny little seed. Our pumpkins are still on the vine, but other than that the girls and I harvested all our other veggies and fruits today. We've had some successes and some failures with our gardening attempts, but I am so blessed that we just tried and are able to experience growing our own food- what a blessing.

GC and Family Time

Today was more General Conference! I've learned so much and want to do so much better at being a disciple of Christ. Another little thing I love about conference is watching all of the church commercials between sessions. There is such real application in our life and I like the quote to, "Give your family everything. Give them your time." Time with family is truly so important- our little family and our extended family. It was fun after conference today to talk to our family and friends on skype and be connected with them even though we're so far apart and then to got to a family dinner at my parent's house. I am so blessed for a wonderful family and for wonderful technology that lets us stay connected with them and watch a worldwide broadcast from our home.
