During Breakfast!

I got the camera out to upload pictures and Morgan saw it and just started smiling. I thought is was so cute, egg and all, that I had to capture the moment.

Primary Program

At church the children ages 3-11 get to do a program every year. Which I have to say is the best Sacrament meeting of all year. They each get to say a part and sing songs they have been learning and practicing all year. Katie was a child still in heaven(why she is in all white) and Zach was a child on earth. Katie's part was," So the voice of the prophet is like the voice of the Lord's?" Which the missionaries then answered. Zach"s part was, "I can be like Jesus by... reading the scriptures." They both did a great job, they were the best! Katie said her part perfectly and Zach said the first part really fast then looked at the helper for the rest of it (after the....). Katie of course knew all of the songs and Zach even knew part of each of the songs. (Which is good for being one of the youngest up there.) I was a glowing parent watching my children standing in the front singing songs about our Savior and knowing that they had gained some knowledge of him and our purpose here on earth. Testimonies start early in life and I am glad my children are already learning and growing in the gospel.

-Here is a picture of them after church-

Pumpkin Patch

We had a great time at the Pumpkin Patch. The children got to ride in the wheelbarrow and get out when they want to go hunting for the perfect pumpkin. Our only rule is that they have to be able to carry the pumpkin you pick.

Katie didn't ride for long and was out looking for the pumpkin of choice. She looked and looked and finally found one she loved. Because you have to check to make sure it has a good stem, a good shape, the color she wanted and it was in good condition. A lot goes into picking of the perfect pumpkin. You can't just do it on a whim.

Zach and Morgan liked cruising in the lady bug mobile. Although Zach wasn't fond of when we would put the pumpkins in though, they would touch him.

We went for F.H.E. while Bushka and Papa were here so we could share the fun. The children also got a lot of the tiny pumpkins to play with and to paint. This is our favorite patch because you can go into the field if you want. Now every time we walk past the pumpkins on the porch they talk about them and get smiles on their faces. That is why I love all of this - their smiles!

Political Funny!

Fun with Papa

When my parents were here for a visit they brought me this spider I had gotten from a sister in my MTC district. The children just loved it. Zach put it on a rope and then the fun started. Papa would hid and get the children by swinging the spider at them. The would scream, jump and run the other way. We were all laughing and I LOVED seeing them have such a wonderful time. After a while Zach got a little scared but Katie was full force until the spider had to take a break. I loved all of the laughter and can't wait for more!

Mouse Cupcakes

Zach found the recipe(picture) in a book from Pampered Chef kids book. We had to make them. So we got all of the ingredients, which Zach made the list, and made them on Friday when Katie didn't have school. They had such a good time. I think we will have to make fun treats like this more often!
