"You are never lost when you can see the temple"



This is just one of the talks I loved from General Conference.

"Not only can we turn the doors of our homes to the temple, or the house of the Lord; we can make our homes a “house of the Lord.”
Elder Gary E. Stevenson Of the Seventy

Witch's Brew

Eggs, apples, milk, water, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and ranch dressing make a great soup.






Do ya think Tiggy has to go to the bathroom?
Anybody want some?



After two witch's brews, two baths for everyone, three changes of clothes, a flood, and paper shreds all over the house, I think I'm ready to escape. Well I guess I had better make dinner first, go shopping at Kohl's for some flannel sheets for the boys' beds (we're hoping they'll stay warm enough so they'll sleep in their own bed all night long), read books, do bedtime routine...including changing them again, and clean up the house for the millionth time. Than I'll have my own peace and quiet.

Gone Swimmin'

Today, November 2nd, was a really nice day, 63 degrees, with the sun shining! The boys put their swimsuits on and well you guessed it, went swimming. They went from the tub, in the house, which they called their hot tub to the swimming pool which was very cold water in a bucket outside. They left water trailing their path. I think it took three towels to wipe up the very wet floor.

They had a blast!

Halloween

This year little James got to come trick-or-treating with us. We had a lot of fun! For the first time ever we went to more than five homes. We actually did a whole street!

Cameron can say Wall E perfectly, just like in the movie. It makes me laugh so hard...which is why he'll say it over and over again. He was so cute!
Farmer Tig... he loves to eat "kitty kats" aka KitKats

My cute chicken...had a hard time getting up when he fell.

James could yell trick-or-treat the loudest and was usually the first one to the door.
