Halloween

This year we didn't go trick or treating house to house. Our stake did a trunk or treat and it was so much better then spending way to much time in the cold with the kids in coats so you can't even see their cool costumes!
Brock spent most of Saturday carving a pumpkin that later won a prize for scariest!

Washington

So, It's hard to believe that we have been in Spokane for over a month now. It's been good. We have been lucky to already now a few people out here from when Brock served his mission in this area and our ward is so great! They have been so welcoming and helpful! I have not felt alone like i thought i would. Our friend Matt came with us and it has been so great having him here. He has been so helpful to us!

Last week we were able to go back to Utah for a visit. We took off at 10 pm and drove all night. We stayed for just over a week and then drive all night again to get home. It was so great to be in Utah with family but i definitely wasn't sad to take off back home. Utah has gross water, stinky air, and dries out my skin. Washington is the opposite of that. Maybe Brock wont have such a hard time convincing me to stay!

Today Matt and I took the kids up by Liberty Lake. Matt goes up there a lot and It was so nice of him to take us! It is so beautiful and the hike was perfect! We saw a Mother and baby moose. Matt got some great pictures! I don't have a card reader for my camera and I lost the cord so i haven't really been able to take any pictures. I am hoping to be able to find an affordable camera so I can take some and get them posted! Especially since i can't get my web cam to work! GRRR!

Brock has some new agents and has spent the last week training them! It is so exciting to have everything progressing! Love you babe!

Happy Birthday Connor!

This is the little party we had on Connor's birthday. Brock decorated a diego cake for Connor's big party!

Roughin it!

Our first experience this summer with the wild! We went up Timpanogos (sp?) Canyon with the Taylor family! The kids loved it and so we spend a lot of time up in the canyons!

Parks....

We went to a park in Murray with our ward playgroup!

At the begining of the summer we went to the park with our friends the Svedins. It was a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed it when it poured down rain!

burn, baby, burn....

About a week ago i had a jewelry party at my apartment. I was running a little behind as usual. I went to check on the cupcakes in the oven but didn't open the oven door all the way. I tried pulling out the pan but somehow didn't get a grip on it and as i tried to pull it out i ended up just slamming my arm into the inside of the oven door. It defiantly hurt. I ran it under cold water but not for long because i was in a hurry to finish everything. So here is the end result. You can't really tell but my arm was really swollen around the burn so much that it hurt to use my muscles. It was an interesting experience.

BROCK!!!

Yesterday Abby wanted to talk to brock so I dialed the phone and handed it to her. He answered and she started....
she talked about connor, our hamster, Miceala and Halle, Jessica and Kylee, and some things i couldn't understand. She walked from her room to the dinning area back to her room danced around and stood on her tip toes. I don't think she stoped talking. The funnest part was brock kept trying to say he had to go but Abby would yell "Brock, brock, brocky.." and then start talking and dancing again (this happened three times)! It was so fun to watch! She is so cute!
Also last night Abby started coughing really bad, a barky cough, and had a hard time getting air in so I ran her over to insta care to find out she has croup!! Luckily the cool air helped to calm her down. They gave her steroids and she is doing much better!
