Update

Sunday we had the opportunity to have Elder Jeffrey R. Holland come and speak to our stake. Kylie and I went early and still were in the gym. Jory came an hour early and I was barely able to save him seats. The kids were fantastic. They survived three hours of church on hard chairs. Cody practically dragged me out when it was over. Elder Holland was amazing. I felt like he talked directly to me. It strengthened my testimony that he is an apostle of Jesus Christ. It was an experience I won't forget.

Later that day, we ran to my friend's house and she took some family pictures for us. It was so easy. She's very talented and such a good friend to do that for me:)

Camri's third grade performed a Veteran's Day Assembly at the elementary school. Kylie sang as well. It was very touching. They sang while showing a slide show of some of the third graders' family who are serving or have served for our country.

Halloween

Thanks for the picture Amy!
Also, just for fun, Jory T. and his scout group are pictured on page 9 of the November New Era! Thanks to the Jones for letting us know!

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween. Cody went as Spiderman. He was so cute. I love taking them at this age. He did get tired and started sitting on the grass complaining about his owies. He'd say he needed to sit down because of his toe, or back, or leg. Jory went as a 70's character. We couldn't find a wig and so I curled his hair with a very small curling iron. It was super funny!
The hairdo did make him taller than me. He checks often and was thrilled to finally claim to be taller than his mom.
Dallin was an army guy. He enjoyed painting the pants, but not putting on the makeup.
Camri was a pirate. It worked out well because her eye got infected and buffed up, so she wore an eye patch. (We forgot the eye patch in the picture and her eye was getting better from the drops.)
Kylie had a concert all day, so later she and a friend went to her Halloween party as gospel singers. She was Pippy Longstocking at a mutual party, but I didn't take pictures because I thought she would dress up again. I'll have to get some copies. Kylie and I fasted through Halloween because she received her Patriarchal blessing Sunday morning. It was hard to pass up all that candy, but worth it. I made up for the candy intake Sunday night:(
