Time Out for Women

Time Out for Women
This past weekend Laura invited me to go to Time out for Women. I was not sure I really wanted to go but it was well worth it. My fears in going were I didn't want it to be like conference and board out of my mind. But after attending it was the extact opposite. I can't tell you how great and inspiring it was to attend this conference. It was a realaxed atomsphere with great stories. Even Elder Nielsen's wife spoke to us. It was great. If you get the chance to go take it. There is events in Logan and Orem sign up fast because there are only 1800 spots available. I linked it above.

New Beds


Before Donovan left I was willing to try anything so that boys would sleep by themselves. Alex does okay until Daddy spoiled him. But I don't blame Daddy for that. Anyways we bought new bunk beds. The boys loved them. Only wanted to play on the top bunk and not sleep. Finally I got them to sleep in the bottom together. But now Donovan just sleeps with his Dad (Derrick) and Alex sleeps with his dad too. I am hoping sooner than later Alex will be in his bed. I have tried everything to get them to sleep in their own bed. And to just think soon it will potty training time. Help ME

Trick-or-treat

We started the day off early and went firewood cuting. It wasn't ment to be early but we were up so we might as well make the most of the day.
Trinity in here second Halloween costume. I just wanted her to wear this for fun.


We were slacking on pictures and this is the only one of Alex in his full costume. Yep Alex decided to be a ninja. Not batman. I think it was because Aidan was a ninja. Good thing we have lots of costumes. Alex wasn't so sure about this asking people for candy but once he got some he liked it a lot. Allan and him sat in the car and ate a ton of candy.


Trinity in her cute costume. Nobody knew what she was but I thought she was cute. Thanks Laura.




Pumpkin Carving

Grandma Sue and Grandpa Kit bringing the giantic pumpkins. Alex carrying the treats because the pumpkins are too big.

Alex decorating them.
Alex did a great job of showing us how to carve the pumpkins and for the most part me stayed true to what he wanted. One pumpkin was all circle and the other was squared with Allan's added touches.

Alex is shooting all the bad guys.
