Thanksgiving

Hope you all had a great weekend. We really enjoyed our time together. We took the kids swimming at our rec center Thursday morning, then had Mandy and Ian up for a yummy Thanksgiving lunch. We all went to see Bolt after that and then came back for pie, it was a fun day. Friday night we took the kids to see the lights on Temple Square, they loved it and it wasn't too cold. We missed you all!

Turkey Dinner

Trevor learned this song in Kindergarten and sang it so much, we all learned it. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving, we miss you!

Turkey dinner, turkey dinner

Gather around, gather around.

Who's gonna get the drumstick

Yummy, yummy, yumstick

All sit down, all sit down.

Cornbread muffins, chestnut stuffin',

Pudding pie, ten feet high.

All of us were thinner, till we came to dinner

Me oh my, my oh my!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween! The kids were so excited. Taylor was a cheerleader (she made Mom put on her old school outfit with her, at least it still kind of fit!), Trevor was a ninja, and Baily was a bumblebee. They were so cute. It was the first year it hasn't been freezing and we really enjoyed our neighborhood's trick or trunk. I also got to help in Trevor's school for his party, we made spider crafts. It was a great Holiday and the kids are enjoying their candy!

Birthday Time

October is birthday time here. Both Taylor and Jon had great birthdays the last week. Taylor had a baby doll birthday with her friends. She got a ballet bar with a "Bella Ballerina" DVD, needless to say we have all been singing, "We love to dance, the Bella way, here on Swan Lake, Plie Plie!" I sing it in my sleep and Trevor has been singing it around the house, poor kid! Jon had a good birthday too, the kids enjoyed spending time with him and he enjoyed his german chocolate cake!

Barnyard Boo

We love going to all the fun activities they have at Thanksgiving Point here. We went to the Barnyard Boo last weekend and the kids had a blast getting their faces painted, riding a pony and in a wagon, and other fun things.

Snow in October

We were having an usually warm fall here until this weekend in October. We are back to cool evenings and warm afternoons, but the kids had a blast with the couple inches we got!

Jon's Released!

After being the Young Men's President for almost 4 years, Jon was released a couple weeks ago. He misses the boys, but the kids and I are so excited to have him around a little more I can't stop smiling! He is teaching Gospel Doctrine now. I hear he is a good teacher, as I'm in Primary and don't get to go to his class. The kids are doing great. We are having fun gearing up for Halloween. Baily is sitting pretty well now and loves to eat new things. And I'm excited the Twilight movie is coming out in 32 days!
