So it has been way too long! We have had so much going on and I just kept pushing blogging back. But it is here now. Whew! In no particular order....
Megan & David got married! Yay! We are so excited for them. It was good to have them in town for a bit before the wedding. It was also good to see Liz and Becca and her family. I love Jake's sisters and I was so glad I was able to spend some time with them. We had a fun family game night with Pizza a couple nights before. Then a lot of wedding prep and then the big day! It was a wonderful family affair.
We have had many fun adventures lately. A few friends birthday parties, plenty of Halloween fun, family gatherings and just life!
Laws and Ava had parent teacher conferences and they are both doing great! Wasatch is wonderful and they are learning a lot and making great friends. I think the main thing we miss about Bennion is playing (or for me chatting) with the Woolf's and Cousins afterschool and some of the teachers of course.
Wes and Pierce have a great time playing together it is is a joy to see them bond. They are good friends! Pierce has also started an online preschool and really likes it and is doing pretty good so far. Wes loves to count to 11 and can sing his ABC's. And Paw Patrol is his new thing.
Jake is just busy providing for our family, his church calling and trying to squeeze as much fun out of the rest of his time. I love him so much and so do the kiddos. He is a great companion and Dad! He is so many good things and I want to be more like him when I grow up.
As for me I have been busy with school and the Mom Life. I feel like I have been slacking in some areas and I really want to be better. A few weeks back at church I went to the new youth program broadcast with Ava and Lawson. There was a teenage girl that said something that really hit me. I don't even remember what question they had asked her, but she said she wanted to live a life where she could be proud of the choices she and made and she wanted to live the kind of life she would want her daughter to have. Boy did that get me! I love my kids so much and I want them to have the best life so I need to be doing the things in my life to have the best life not just for me, but for my family as well.
Anything else about these last weeks you can see in the pictures below.
I will write about some of them, and the rest explain themselves.
He could not keep his hands off the mints!
The next few pictures are at a fun Halloween activity we went to with Becca and her family while she was in town. Ava was so excited to have Ellie to play with for a few days. Will and his family, Julie and Tonya and her family also came! Spooky Woods, hot chocolate, donuts, family and fun!
Jake and I were able to go to a Beatles Vs Rolling Stones Concert with Sam and Tonya
In was a lot of fun!
Jon and Tati had a spooktacular Harry Potter Party. We all dressed up as characters and partied the night away. I made some chocolate pretzel wands and we loved the butter beer!
Daddy date night with Pierce. They had a great time!
Jake got this Lawn Mower for Wes a while back and he did not let go of it for days.
This next one is the best. Wes fell asleep in a squat position playing
with the mower with flip flops over his footsie pj's.
