What an exciting day!

Big things are happening here in our household.

The girls had a Halloween party to go to tonight with dad and they were so excited.

First our angel with pink wings (that was all they had at the dollar store!)

This is our "Costume".  I told her she had to wear a costume to go trick-or-treating so technically she is wearing a costume!


Here is my King!  He didn't want to smile, he said that kings wielding swords don't usually smile.  I said to smile anyway!

While the girls and dad were at activity days C and I carved his pumpkin!  He was so excited.  I was a little frightened about letting him use the cutter but he did really well.


Oh, and here's my favorite part of the day...dinner!  I tried out a new recipe that was FABULOUS but the children had a, well let's just say a physical reaction to it.


If you have a weak stomach don't watch there's a bit of gagging involved.  The camera was shaking it was so hilarious!

Last but not least C learned to tie his shoes.  He just came home from school and tied them.  I asked if they practiced at school and he said no they just came untied and he tied them.  Just like riding a bike, he figured it out very quickly!  YEAH C!!!

For any of you that were wondering what I made for dinner it was French Onion Soup.  I will post the recipe on my recipe blog it was DELISH!  I had to buy cooking wine to put in it and I felt a little naughty while I was buying it even though it wasn't even in the liquor aisle.  I guess I'm going to have to get over that if I'm going to make my own vanilla extract, it takes a gallon of Vodka!  I'm sure my Bishop is going to be right behind me in the checkout line that day...I just know it!

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
