{baby blessing}

Ok so I'm really playing catch up with our family blog! Sorry....I'll get the hang of this eventually!

On Sept 13th of this year my husband gave James a baby blessing in sacrament meeting at church. It was a special experience for all of us especially because it was the first baby blessing Tyler had ever given. We are so blessed to have this new little guy in our family! He has brought so much joy into our home and each of our lives!

sorry it's not a better picture....i was hot and tired, wyatt had ran right in and changed out of church close before we could take a picture and James was so done with all those close on by the time we settled down that he was not letting us take any good pictures...so this is all you get! haha

THANK YOU!!!

I want to say thank you to all those who donated coats to the one warm coat drive I did. I don't know your names nor faces but I hope that my Aunt Jeanie will gladly pass on my gratitude! There was a total of 23 coats donated and the look on the guys face when I told him how many there were was priceless!

{october mammoth trip}

We just love this place! It's so beautiful and peaceful and it just seems like everything is right with the world when we are there! Our family as a whole is refreshed every time we visit!

(I love having a tripod!)

{finally}

Well I finally picked a name and started a crafty blog! It's not all fancied up yet but for now it is up and running! I have lots of great things planned for this blog! I'm looking forward to sharing my creative side with family, friends, and the blogging world! Come check it out and follow along for more fun to come!!

{Halloween}

So I'm playing a little bit of catch up...sorry!

We had fun trick or treating with James and Wyatt this year! We all dressed up and headed out to see how full our candy baskets would get (well Wyatt's anyway) It was a fun night but a bitter sweet night for mom...James' very first time trick or treating (or at least going along for the ride) and Wyatt's last year! I can hardly believe he'll be 12 soon!

Mom: Witch Dad: (in half costume) Dracula Wyatt: Frankenstein James: Ghost
(they were inspired by a cute halloween decoration we put up in the house every year)

We went trick or treating another family from church.
It's always more fun when the kids have more kids to go with.
