Happy Halloween!!

Well, this year we had a great time. Jace and Abbey were able to dress up for their school's parties. They had a wonderful time. It was fun to let them make a couple of days out of it, so it wasn't just a few hours. The kids were Belle, Spiderman, and "Boots the monkey".

We love the Trunk-or-Treat at the ward. There was tons of candy. Now that we have taken it all away out of their reach, we feel a little better.

Leaves

Yesterday Dave was raking up the leaves in our front yard. The kids decided it would be fun to run in them. Our neighbors were also outside and their kids came over to join in the fun. Kelsi and Gabe Flint along with our children had a blast. It was fun to just sit and watch them.
When we were gathering up the leaves and putting them in a bag, Abbey said,"now we get our grass back." I thought that was cute. It's amazing how the mind of a five year old works.

Family Pictures

Sunday, the 19th, we had our family pictures taken at the Layton City Park. We had a great time. The kids did fairly well. They didn't fight us too bad. Jen, who took our pictures, did a wonderful job and was very quick.


Ty was our Mr. GQ.

Jace was just excited to be at the "duck park." Abbey, was our little princess. She did a great job.

Ty's 3rd BDay

Ty Daniel turned 3 on the 14 Sept. I can't believe how time has flown by. He is getting so big. Ty and Jace helped make the birthday cake and enjoyed licking the bowl clean. We had some friends over on the Friday before, and then family came on Sunday, his birthday. He received so many fun toys. He enjoyed playing with all the kids and the new toys. Ty on Uncle Tysen's lap opening his transformer on Sunday. We love Ty and are grateful he is apart of our family.

Jace and soccer

Jace recently started playing soccer. The first game he was a little bit shy and wanted his dad to hold his hand the entire time. But with each new game, his confidence is growing. He made a goal two weeks ago. Saturday's are the best thing to look forward to. He loves it.

Zarahemla

This past weekend we were able to go up to Morgan to some church property called Zarahemla. Dave's mom had her Ward camp out and invited us and his sister Amy to come up on Saturday. The kids had an awesome time just being able to run outside. We had lunch and decide to play in the river. They have a rope swing tied to a big tree. It was a lot of fun. The kids really had a fun time. We couldn't tear them from the river or the swing.

Our little girl starts Kindergarten

Abbey started kindergarten at Lincoln Elementary this past month. So far she has done really well and is writing her numbers, letters, and even names. She writes on everything she can get her hands on. Her teacher is Mrs. Jacobs and she really likes her and her other classmates. When asked about kindergarten Abbey indicates that “I like playing with my new friends the most”.

One day after school Abbey told her mother that Heavenly Father had answered her prayer to have friends at school. This was really awesome because it not only shows us that Abbey is growing up fast, but that she also understands her relationship with Heavenly Father and that she can pray to him when ever she wants.. Abbey is really starting to understand who she is. Needless to say it really choked her mother up.
