Embarrassing

So I am already getting that "Oh mom!" With the rolling of the eyes look from Grace, my 4 year old. Yesterday in the car she was looking a little sad in the back seat so I turned the music up and started dancing to the music and said come on Gracie dance with me! I'm sure I looked really cool, not lame. But yet she gave me this look, but she couldn't keep with it for long. She broke out into a laugh and then was just looking at me like I was crazy. That look I can handle.

Life Changes

No I am not pregnant or anything like that. I just wanted to give you all an update on how my first sacrament meeting alone went. No I am also not getting divorced. My husband has a new calling in our ward, he is in the bishopric. Which means he sits up on the stand. I have 3 children under the age of 4. I was hoping that my children would be perfect and that would be my blessing for allowing my husband to serve. They were not. They were not bad, but not perfect like I was hoping. However, I was blessed with patience. Which is something that I lack so much! I was very thankful for that. I was also blessed with so many people at our church offering to help. It is nice to feel loved. I truly do, and I know that my children do too. Thank you to everyone for your friendship and help through this time while I figure out what to do!

Camping in November

Where do you camping in November? Well we went to St. George. It was surprisingly warm enough. I have been bugging Jamie to go camping all summer. He goes all the time with the Young Men in our church for his calling there, but we never get to go! Since Abi was born in June, it has just not happened. So anyway, we finally made it. We went to Snow Canyon in St. George. We will definitely have to go back, it was so beautiful. Don't you just love Utah?

Here is Grace posing pre-hike.

Here is the reason we could not get a picture of these girls all together, way too distracted by the pretzels.

This is the picture I am talking about, way too much distratction.

Here is a picture of Emily and Grace, they are truly such good friends, it is so neat to watch them together.

Here is Sarah and Rachel. The hike was a little rocky, but they did surprisingly well!

Here is just a sweet picture of my sweet Sarah.

Here is another cousin picture.

Here is Jamie and Abi ready for the hike!

Halloween

The girls started off their Halloween by making popcorn balls with their grandma. They loved it! Here is all 3 girls before going trick or treating.

Here is Abi on Halloween. She had a last minute costume change. She was a dog, but she hated that costume because it covered her face really weird, so luckily I had this lion one laying around!

This is the best part of Sarah's costume, and I'm afraid this picture doesn't do it justice. We didn't even notice the padding in this costume until she tried it on. It was so hilarious to watch her walk around in this.

Here is Sarah. She loves elephants, so it was only appropriate that she was one!

Here is Grace. I loved this costume. Grace had requested to be a pink flower. Which amazingly enough I could not find one anywhere! So I did find this one and she thought that it would be ok.

All in all it was a very fun Halloween. It is so rewarding to have children. This was the first year that Grace and Sarah both really enjoyed trick or treating. It was so fun to watch Sarah follow her big sister around, like she so often does, and talk about all the fun they were having.
