My cute Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Thanks to my sister Monica we had two adorable kids on Halloween. The kids had a fun night. We went to trunk or treat and then to visit all the Grandparents. We didn't get allot of candy but that is OK because Madison doesn't eat it and I do ,so the least amount of candy we have the better.

Family Night With the Parks

We went up to Josh and Diana's for family night the Monday before Halloween and carved pumpkin's and ate dinner. Thanks to Diana We had a really fun night.

Fall

We have allot of trees in our yard so that means we have allot of leaves. We had about 7 piles of leaves in the back yard so the kids thought it would be fun to play in them. It actually took Andrew a while to start having fun. He wasn't sure about it at first. Madison on the other hand loved it. She was out there for a couple of hours.

Deer Hunt Shopping Trip

Every year during the deer hunt we go shopping with Brett's Mom 's side of the family. Grandma Nelson gets a hotel room for all of us and we usually start the weekend with a fun craft. This year we made cards, ear rings, and some very cute hair bows or flowers for the little girls. We also went swimming and ate pizza that night. Then the next morning we were off to do some shopping. Poor Andrew was the only Boy . I have already made arrangement's for him to go with the boy's next year:) I had a really good time with everyone. They are all so good to me and my Kids. I made it through the weekend with only one really bad temper tantrum ,and only lost my credit card once:)

Old Green!!!

Sometimes all it takes is a green truck to make me realize what I have is enough. So it has now been three weeks since my car has been out of order. The car is in Levan and the transmission is in Provo. For a while I felt pretty sorry for myself. I wanted to cry out loud every time I loaded the kids in it. It would take me ten minutes longer to get Madi to school. If it wasn't warmed up enough I would have to stop and start again 2 or 3 times just going down main street. Thank goodness we live in Nephi! It is really loud, I felt Like I grabbed everyones attention when I came trucking it down the road. So basically I need to get over my self. Well I was wishing out loud that I could drive the car again, when Madi looked at me and said "Mom stop complaining we have so many memories in this truck." She loves that "green truck". She loves to hear the stories about how Brett first got my attention by asking me if I wanted to go check out his truck, and then taking me for a long ride, or how when I was pregnant with her he took me for a really bumpy ride in the "green truck" to try to get her to join us. (it didn't work) I then started looking at things a little different, and things didn't seem so bad. Then on Saturday when Elder Worthlin was giving his talk it seemed like he was talking right to me. I realize that I have to drive a truck that is more inconvenient to drive than my car, but at least I have something to drive. I am going to take his advice and just laugh. If this is all I have to worry about then I am pretty darn lucky.
