eatting jello

Abby decided to eat the jello powder for the salad i was making. Making three things at once makes it hard to keep track of what the kiddos are doing. Luckly Brock was home and after this incident he did a great job of keeping them out of the kitchen while i finished up for thanksgiving.

Random

Some randomness from the past few weeks:


I bought some red lipstick for my halloween costume. Abby just loves "lips" as she calls it. She stole into my room and took it into the bath with her. Doesn't she and Ariel look beautiful? She also got some of uncle matt's black makeup.









Our friend gave connor a little bike that his son is too big for. Connor is so excited but we haven't let him ride it yet. I am not sure how to do it and Brock hasn't been around at a time when they could test it out.

Abby loves to take pictures of herself and pretty much anything else.

Brock also put on my red lipstick and kissed my face. It was really wierd to see him in lipstick.

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!
