"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Halloween Cookies

We made Halloween cookies with the kids and it was wonderful. The kids love to make cookies and they love to pour the sprinkles on them. I was glad to do something that they love to do because it sure brings a lot of smiles on their faces.DSC_8071DSC_8073DSC_8074DSC_8076

Raegan and Maddy

Maddy is so sweet with Raegan and I love to watch her with her. Raegan is so lucky to have her big sisters, they are all mini Mommys to her and she is so spoiled. Maddy is so sweet and so soft with Raegan and these pictures show it perfectly.DSC_8067DSC_8070DSC_8068

Jon and Ariel’s wedding reception

Josh’s brother Jon got married in Portland Oregon and a couple weeks later they had a reception in Idaho Falls. It was a carnival reception with lots of fun things for the kids to do so they were really having a lot of fun. I was glad to have all the wedding stuff over with because it was a lot of work to try to find the colors we were suppose to wear and to get everything done. Weddings are always fun but a lot of work for everyone. We had fun spending time with family and meeting Jon’s new wife and her family. We are so happy for Jon and Ariel and we wish them the best of luck in their new life together.DSC_7940DSC_7942DSC_7944DSC_7945-2DSC_7949DSC_7951DSC_7970DSC_7973DSC_7974DSC_7975DSC_7980DSC_7981DSC_7982-2DSC_7984DSC_7985DSC_7986

First snow fall

Today was the first day it snowed for the winter!! The kids were so excited and so were we. We all went outside in the dark along with all the neighbor kids and we started up the snow machine and played and played! The kids had a blast and they didn’t want to come inside that night. I made them some hot chocolate and warmed them up and put them to bed!! Fun day!!DSC_8029DSC_8031DSC_8030DSC_8033DSC_8034DSC_8036DSC_8037DSC_8039DSC_8042DSC_8043DSC_8046DSC_8048DSC_8049DSC_8050DSC_8053DSC_8055DSC_8058DSC_8061DSC_8063DSC_8064DSC_8065DSC_8035DSC_8040DSC_8041
