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.

We read "The Mitten" this last week.

We made our own mittens out of paper. We punched holes all around the sides and sewed them up with yarn.


We colored all of the animals we read about in the story and put them in our mittens.We wrote our names with glitter.

October 24th-Madison and Landon had an orchastra concert. What's sad is that when we showed up at the time we thought the concert was going to begin it actually was ending. We got everyone out of the car to walk up and watch the concert and Madison and Landon were walking out. I heard it was good. They sure looked cute. (Smile)

We decided to have some Halloween fun and we made a skeleton each.

100 paper plates and oh so fun!

The kids hung their skeletons on the fan and enjoy watching them chase each other. (It looked pretty cool)

We talked about dinosaurs and made dinosaur tails. This is Jenson and Jordon being a dinosaur.

Thursday!Thursday!Thursday!Thursday!Thursday!

Thursday this last week was a crazy day. Christian was scheduled to go to Colorado but rearranged his schedule to help with the craziness. I am so thankful.

Brooklon had acheivment days at 5pm. where she made the cutest pumpkin. I did'nt get a picture. (Sorry)

6:30 Madison had Young Women in Excellence. It turned out so nice. The theme for the night was "The Golden Glow Awards" . Like the "Golden Globe Awards". There was a red carpet which all of the girls walked down and they recieved an award for their accomplishments. The award was shaped just like the ones they get at the"Golden Globes". The whole night turned out so nice. All of the girls wore prom dresses.

We found this cute dress for $12.00 and Madison looked like a million dollars. She looked beautiful.

We started curling right after school. Soooo cute! Madison loved her hair and so did everyone else.

Right after the "Golden Glow" we had to rush off to Landons game that was already half over. We did'nt get any pictures of Landons football game but it was a great game. Landons team won which puts his team in the championships. We are so proud of Landon and how well him and his team have done. Go AF Cavemen.
As soon as the game got over we had a Utah map to build. Never! Ever! Procrastinate something of this magnitude. We were up late. Once again I am so thankful that Christian could be home to help me with this night. SO THANKFUL!


I'm not sure what he's building but he is sure proud. (He makes me smile every time.)
