Blog Catch UpBrooklon had her 10th birthday. It's hard to believe that she is already 10.

We had a family party and a friend party. These pictures are from the family party. The pictures from the friend party are stuck on my phone and won't be able to be off for awhile. BUT! Both parties were fun. Brooklon has many friends and they are all silly/crazy like she is.- We played a High School Musical game, made up team cheers, had pizza and Sesame Street cupcakes (the girls absolutely loved them-good pick Brooklon) and opened gifts. Brooklon had a fun birthday week.

Happy Birthday Brooklon!

November 16th 2008-Jordon Wray gains a new "Hospital Buddy". The first buddy he got when he broke his arm.

The next "Hospital Buddy" was given to him tonight. Those aren't whiskers on his upper lip.

3 stiches. We need to find a new way to obtain buddies. I even brought Jordon a buddy home from Michigan. I guess one wasn't enough. -This is the blood/medicine stained church shirt, our lovely baby boy Jordon, and our new buddy Blitz.

Brooklon, Gavon, and I were able to go to Michigan this last week. My sister Summer had an emergency c-section and we were able to fly out and help out.It was nice to see their lovely home and family.

Our new neice and cousin-Nichole

Every where we went (Dr. office, airport, etc..) many people would come to us and say "What a pretty girl" "What pretty eyes she has" "She seems so tired" "What's her name" - HIS name is Gavon. HE is a boy wearing blue. And HE is tired and would love to sleep if everyone would stop petting him.- It got a little crazy. 12 hours in the airport due to delays. A very tired, teething, sick baby. And a very tired, sooooo sick mom. I don't think I want to fly anywhere for awhile. Although it was fun to see Summer and her lovely family and home I was ever so thankful to also see my bed, home, family, pillow, etc... Thank you Cuff family for letting us stay with you and visit.

Brooklon playing with a cootie catcher while waiting forever for the plane. And Gavon on his next to last string.

I don't know who had more fun, the ones giving the ride or the one getting the ride.

Halloween seemed to come and go so quickly.
Landon was dracula.

Brooklon was Ragedy Ann

Maron was Cindy Lou Who (from the Grinch)

We loved her hair

Madison was a cow girl

Trenton was a skeleton

Jenson was going to be Batman but at the last minute decided to be Hulk

Jordon was going to be Buzz Light Year but at the last minute decided to be a puppy. I'm glad we just have a bunch of costumes to choose from.

Gavon was Charlie Brown. Isn't he so cute?

We had a great Halloween.

Christian was able to stay home a couple of days this week. Jenson enjoyed making Halloween cookies with Christian while the other littles take a nap.

Family Home Evening: Treat -carmel apples

Family Home Evening: Because I am His child, I will serve God with all my heart, might, mind and strength. Scripture: (D&C 4:2) "Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day."
This pumpkin is going to help us remember how we can better serve God.

I can open my mind so I can learn about Heavenly Father and his plan for me to return to him. ( cut the top of the pumpkin)

I can repent when I make a wrong choice. (clean out the inside)

I can keep my eyes open for opportunities to serve others. (cut the eyes out)

I can be a good friend to everyone and not turn up my nose to anyone. (cut nose)

I can open my ears so I can listen and learn (cut ears)

I can open my mouth so I can share the gospel with the world. (cut mouth)

I can follow the Saviors example and let my light shine in all that I say and do. (place a candle inside and light it)

At the school the kids go to in order to dress up for Halloween you have to write a report on someone from the 1920's and back and have it approved. If it's approved you can dress up. Trenton wrote a report on Frank Costello a famous ganster. I did'nt get a picture of the costume (he was too hot in it) but we got a picture of the prizes. He won a free meal from McDonalds and a free ice cream. It was worth it.

One day last week we decided to have a picnic outside on the smallest blanket we could find.

After we made our mittens we had lunch with oranges.
