Our Kids

Soccer season has come to an end. Braden was fantastic and had a wonderful season.

Ellie is just always happy and wants to be apart of everything.

Abby wanted to make her own dinner. She added a little of everything she could find. She said it tasted fine.

It is officially freezing here.

Christmas party

I am in charge of the centerpieces for the ward Christmas party. I though it would be fun to grow paper whites in cranberries. Lets all just pray they bloom in time.

This one is for my house.
Please bloom.
Please Please bloom.

The joys of being a Girl

Sunday morning Abby came in my room with pink foam curlers and said she really wanted curly hair for school on Monday. I thought okay no big deal. We were all sick on Sunday so I thought she could wear them all day Sunday sleep in them and wake up with beautiful curls. All went well until bed time when they kept falling out. So I took them all out and was hoping for the best, curly hair Monday morning. 6:00 am Monday morning I have this VERY sad girl at the side of my bed with REALLY straight hair. Oh no I thought. She asks if we can put the curlers back in. I jump out of bed and back in went the curlers in hope it would be curly before the bus picks her up. It worked. She went to school with curly hair and she was VERY happy. The joys of being a girl.

Ellie's adventure

Who's counting?

8 months!!!! That's right only 8 more months until Gavin is done with his Pediatric Dental Residency. I know it is a little early to be counting down but I am REALLY excited to move and be a little closer to family.

I DID IT

Halloween

Halloween was really fun this year. Friday morning Gavin, Ellie and I went to Abby's class party where we played games, made a craft, read a book and had treats. Then, we headed over to Braden's school where we went on a hay ride, picked pumpkins, read a book and had treats. In the evening we went to our friend's house and had some pizza then out the door we went. The kids had a blast. Gavin even dressed up. He was Sponge Bob. Saturday night we had our ward fall carnival. The activities committee in our ward consists of me and the bishop's wife. We worked really hard to make the carnival fun. I think it was a success. We had soup and rolls then we played games, had gunnysack races and a pie eating contest. It was a successful weekend.
