Halloween Eve.

Halloween eve finds us carving a pumkin of course.

JP and the kids carve after mommy and kids gut it out.

We can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

BEST FRIENDS!

I just have to say these cousins are way to cute. They LOVE to be with each other. When they see each other arms go up and names get squealed and hugs are dished up all around. Then it's chater, chater, chater in three year old talk and they're off. Wee One asks for him everyday and prays to play with him in her night time prays. They really and truly are best freinds and I love it and pray it stays that way always.

9th Wedding Anniversary.

Well yesterday was our 9th Anniversary. The kids knew this and planned something special. When daddy got up to go to work we had family prays, we gave loves all around and Girly told him "Happy Anniversary daddy - bye." Wee One and Speed chimed in with "ya, bye daddy."
Then turned to me and said "mom get back in bed till we say it's okay" so I did. (I also said bye daddy, love you - Happy Anniversary.) A little time went bye and then in came the crew. Girly had drawn me a picture and Speed had made me breakfast. (Cinnamon sugar toast -mmmm! a sugar rush breakfast. Love it.) Wee One had also drawn a picture for me. It was great. I'm not real sure what it means that mommy got the gifts and food for our anniversary and daddy got a "Happy anniversary daddy -bye". JP - you know that they really love you. It was probably just that you were leaving so early. It was a fun day and evening what with the carnival and all. Next year we will see if we can top it. I don't know though.

Wee One is 3.

Our third birthday in a two week time span.

Aren't you just jealous!

Wee One had her third this month. She is growing so much. She talks a mile a minute and says things that just floor me. Three year olds are acting a lot older than I remember them acting. What's up with that?

Any way we had a very mellow family only party for her. Hoping she won't remember and be mad at me later. (Sorry Wee One but, two prior parties and a baptism before you. I was a plum partied out.) She had a great time anyway because she got to blow out the candles this time and open the presents, what more could a girl ask for?

For those who don't know Wee One that well she is huge into praying on any and all food so of course we had to pray on the cake. She is so stinkn' cute and sweet.

Twilight Movie Night Update!

November 20th whom ever wants to meet and carpool to the midnight show of Twilight here is the deal.

1.) Buy your tickets online. (My thoughts are for Cine Mark. It's closer and cheaper. Final location will follow shortly. ) Any and all input appreciated.

2.) Meet at the church parking lot (Harris and Hackamore) at 9:00pm so we have plenty of time to get there and stand/sit in line. You know there are going to be way more people just as nuts as us doing the samething.

3.) Find yourself a Twilight T-shirt if you so desire, and bring your favorite snacks.

4.) Be prepared to have a blast!

Scouts - Yes.

Okay. I know I'm his mom but, Speed looks so awesome in his scout uniform. See.

Speed has been in scouts for a month now and has worked hard to get his Bobcat. Now he is on to his wolf. He is excited about scouts - Yeah! JP has been called as Cub Scout Master. He is working his way into it and really doing a fabulous job. He has attend and run a few Pac meetings before this months but, they were more summer for fun activity ones. This month was really his baby. (last month there were unexpected complications and he just kind of stumbled through it. - you go boy) This months theme was adventures in good books (or something close). He did a Treasure Island theme. He built a boat with sailors to be knocked down with "cannons" (black nerf balls). The kids loved it. He also dressed up as a Pirate. I think he feels much better about things now. It really went well. GREAT JOB HONEY. LOVE YOU!

Turning 8 means so many Great things.

Now that 8 is here so are baptism and scouts. I am so happy that Speed is happy about baptism. What a wonderful day.
We are grateful that so many family members were able to come. Ranging from Mesa, Phoenix and even Maricopa. (Thanks all for driving so far) Of course the spirit was very there. Papa gave wonderful talk about Baptism and family who sang was fabulous. This being my first to be baptised, I wasn't aware of the whole Mom's get to bare their testimonies after the confirmation part. It was a surprise and totally unfair. I was barley keeping it together as it was. Now I know for Girly. Good thing there are two years in between.

Interview with Bishop Rowley. I am so grateful for the Lord's Divine organizationally skills. I am grateful bishops and B.R. has really done so much for our family. THANK YOU!

Speed is 8

Ok! It's been awhile and Speed did turn 8.
So here we go.

His party was not at all what I expected it to be. I knew it wouldn't be like Girly's. Barbie's, house and giggles but, I also didn't think it would be what it was. I had pizza and cake for all the boys, that went as expected. I also had games prepared. That was the part that went in it's own direction and I am actually thrilled (I guess) because they had a GREAT time.

From the second boys started arriving all they could do was wrestle with each other. I did steer them outside for just a short time and so how they all ended up back in my living room wrestling. So instead of fighting it, I decided to go with it. JP and I set up ring boundaries, divided and paired the boys up, gave them the rules and held wrestling matches for about an hour. They just really went at it and did awsome. Several Mom's had to wait for "just a minute, my last match is up next." They were all great sports!
