They both had a lot of fun picking out the beads and making the bookmarks.

We all decorated the tree on Sunday after Thanksgiving (I been a little busy to post anything, since my camera broke so for Christmas i wanted a new one and have got it already:)

The kids are getting so big!! Mitchell is 11 he will be 12 in May. I cant believe he is almost old enough to pass the Sacrament. He is such a good kid. Today he came upstairs and started making pancakes for everyone while i was still trying to get out of bed. Cameron is 9, he is a go getter, he does so well in school!! He is a self motivated kid always doing his best. Brylee is 7, she is are little princess. She loves to play with her friends, she loves doing gymnastics and is getting pretty good!! Reece is 2 he is are little cutie pie, he loves Diego, Dora and his stuffed animals! He sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night yelling I want to watch Dora or Go Diego Go:)maybe we let him watch to much TV. He is pretty much potty trained every once and a while he'll have an accident but hes doing great No More Diapers!!YEAH I love them all so much and am so proud of each of them!!

**Also Ben finished student teaching and will finish up his school work this week and he will be done!!! He did a great job. The teacher he did his student teaching for, when he evaluated him wrote that in the 13 years of being a teacher he had never seen such a good teacher. Ben was pretty excited. Some more good news he got on with the new high school in Saratoga Springs The Westlake Thunder! We are so excited and very relieved!!!

At school every year they do a Halloween parade. Cameron even looked over at me this year :)

Mitchell in the parade. He looked so good he was an old lady, he even put a pillow for his behind.

Carving the Pumpkins

Mitchell carving his pumpkin, he hates to do this as you can see the gloves. He still kept saying oh this is so gross.
Brylee loves doing this she even carved her own face on the front.

Reece he didn't know what to think, he kept saying slimy. He did like stabbing the pumpkin with a knife:)

Cameron loved it he was helping everyone else out. He never gets grossed out.

We all had a good time carving our pumpkins.

Stacey and Brian's Wedding

My sister got married on October 11th. They just had a really small wedding with a light brunch. My dad got to do the ceremony. He cracks us up during the ceremony he couldn't pronounce Brian's last name and kept putting a L in his name. By the third time of him doing this and Brian correcting him, we were all laughing. Even Stacey and Brian.
