The Witches at Gardner Village

Monday morning we met up with Jamie and Landon and took the boys to see the witches at Gardner Village. Oh my goodness! They had witches everywhere and doing everything! The boys loved them! We had Ashton with us as well! He's my little guy that I babysit on Monday and Wednesday mornings. It was a little cold, so he and Kyle spent almost the entire time in the stroller! They still loved seeing all of the crazy witches! A must see if you're in the neighborhood around Halloween time!

Colorado for Heather's Baptism

Two weekends ago we went to my sister Diane's in Colorado for my niece Heather's baptism. It was a great weekend, but I totally didn't pull out my camera until the day of the baptism! Diane has pictures on her blog as well. We were so glad we could be there. The boys did great on the drive and had a blast playing with cousins! We had a cajun boil after the baptism. Jeff and I absolutely LOVE doing cajun boils! If you've never done one, you're missing out! I'm proud of my sister's that don't like seafood and still tried everything! We tried to take a sister picture, but we ended up just being goofy! I don't have one that we all look normal! Anyway, the point of the trip was to be with Heather at her baptism, and I have to say that she has one of the sweetest little spirits I know. She was so emotional after she was baptized, but she gets it from her mom and dad who were completely emotional after she was confirmed on Sunday. We loved being a part of it all and feeling the sweet spirit that was there! We were also able to visit and spend an evening with our dear friends, the Hardy's. Of course I didn't remember my camera, but we loved visiting and having our kids play together! Oh yeah, and thank you to Kelly for finally cutting off that annoying patch of hair that Jeff had! It was a great weekend!

Pre-School Highlights

Chad started pre-school back on the 4th of September. He has five different teachers including myself. We teach for two weeks, twice each week, and then we rotate to another mother's home. I really enjoyed the two weeks of teaching that I got to do! It brought back so many memories of when I taught first grade at Midvale! Chad has absolutely loved going and loves all of his pre-school friends and his teachers. These pictures will include his first day, some of the projects we did during the transportation theme we did at our home, and our recent field trip to the Kennecott Bingham Canyon Mine. All of our pre-school friends, their siblings, and mothers went. It was so fascinating! Kyle is in some of the pictures as well. He's the dare devil that looks like he is about to jump into the mine! It wasn't as dangerous as the picture looks!

An End to a Wonderful Trip

During our next days in Indiana, we went to the Potawatomi Zoo, Notre Dame, The College Football Hall of Fame, and a chocolate factory. We were so lucky to get to do so many different things but especially to have been able to do them with our good friends the Sandersons. They were terrific hostesses, and we really had a fun and memorable trip!
