Baptism, Birthday, & a Blessing

This Weekend...

Kody was baptizedGrandma Pete came for the big event and we were able to snap a picture of the great-grand kids.

Carson was blessed...so cute!

And Tami had a birthday!
What a weekend! It was so nice to be with family and being able to celebrate so much all in one day!

Thanks mom and dad for putting us all up for the weekend!

Family Night

For family night we had a little lesson then decorated/carved our pumpkins. Adam and Jenna really got into coloring their pumpkins while Ryan worked hard on carving ours. The kids really enjoyed doing this and were proud of the outcome of all the pumpkins.

Fun Saturday!

We had a great Saturday! First, we went to the Linder Farms Pumpkin Patch that now not only has a pumpkin patch, but also has a sling shot, petting zoo, corn maze, blow up toys for kids, barrel rides for kids (the kids sit in the open barrels and a lawn mower takes them around,) and much more. They also have concessions, so for lunch we settled for popcorn and mini donuts. YUM!

This place gets bigger and bigger every year and more and more people go out to enjoy the fun. It was a gorgeous day out, so of course there were a lot of people there.

Adam & Jenna picked out the perfect pumpkins for themselves. Luckily they didn't want the biggest ones here!

Saturday night we headed over to Jason & Brook's house to create haunted houses for Halloween. As you can see, Jason and Brook did an incredible job in their house, Jared and Joy were very creative and Adam had a great time decorating his. Needless to say, ours wasn't very great, at all, so no pictures will even be shown of ours.

So, here are my 6 quirky qualities.

1. I hate to be late. My anxiety level rises when I know I'm going to be late for something.

2. I can't sleep at night if my hands and/or lips are dry or if my closet door is open.

3. When I go to bed, I always lay on my right side until I'm just about to sleep, then I have to roll over to my left side. Ryan always knows when I'm serious about going to sleep! :)

4. I don't like things out of their place for very long. A few toys here and there for a little while is ok, but toys scattered all over...I can't handle. Here's one small example: At church Jenna thought it was a fun game to dump out all of the crayons from the box, put a few back in, dump them out, etc. Then when she got fussy and Ryan took her out, the crayons were all over the floor and bench. It was driving me CRAZY!!! I couldn't really get down and pick up all of the crayons that were half way across the bench from me in the middle of sacrament meeting, but it was really driving me nuts! Finally, I got Adam to pick them up and put them in the box for me. After that, I could really listen to the meeting again.

5. I don't like to cook. I know I should do better because I'm the mom and need to feed me kids great things, but I don't enjoy cooking. I like to assist others in cooking though. However, I LOVE to bake. I could bake goodies all day!

6. I like to talk on the phone if or when I do cook or clean the kitchen. It helps me get the job done!

I tag Melanie, Katie, Sara and Amanda!

What's Been Going On...

Happy Helpers!

Adam says goodbye to his friend, Carter. Carter's family is moving to Alaska in the morning. To say the least, they will be sorely missed!
Today we had our first snow fall. Adam was so excited to see the snow--he was dancing around, making up silly songs about the snow, etc.
