Love

Did I tell you this boy always has a ball in his hands.... Ha ha.  I love this picture of my two boys cuddling in bed.  They are my favorite thing to wake up to in the morning.  (and also four little beauties)  I have been thinking about blessings a lot the past few weeks and I just feel like my heart is overflowing with all sorts of feelings.  I am truly blessed.  I have so many things in my life to be grateful for and I know It would take all day to name them all.  I heard a saying that was cute, "what if you woke up tomorrow with only the things you thanked your heavenly father for the day before."  It really makes you think because without Him we would be nothing and we would have nothing.  I know that he has heard my prayers and is answering them.  I am so thankful for the gospel and the knowledge I have and the happiness and joy that it brings into my life.  I was put into the young women's a few weeks ago and I am so happy about that.  It is one of my favorite callings.   I get to be in the beehives with Alexis and it has been fun to listen to the lessons and teach them.  I enjoy teaching the lessons because it allows me to dig deeper and ponder through the week.  It also helps me feel the spirit through the week as I think of what I should say for a lesson.  It is great

I love this picture.  I put it on my phone and get to look at it through my day.  I just love the true happiness that is on my baby's face.  It isn't a fake smile or a forced smile.  It is a smile that is saying he is happy.  I just love the way kids faces light up when they are happy.  

Now this is another story..... this isn't something that makes me so happy.  I am so sad that the deer are out and eating my tree's again.  They have a full field of alfalfa but for some reason the new tree's taste the best to them.  errrrrr

I went and bought some sap to put on the tree to see if I can save it but they got it all the way around so I am not sure.  

One of his new favorite spots.  He pulled the drawer out and climbed in.  

Adison thought it looked like fun so she climbed in also.  They are so fun together.  Max sure does love his big sister and the time that they get to be together while the girls are at school is fun to watch.  Max tries to do everything that she does and just follows her everywhere.   She is a girly girl and dances a lot so he has started to dance.  It is pretty funny to watch them dance together.  But when the girls get home of the bus they are both so happy to see their sisters.  The best is when it is time for daddy to be home if the garage door opens Max will take off running and yelling, "da da, da da, da da!!"  and he is just so excited to see his dad.  If we are outside and he sees the truck he just runs as fast as he can to go and jump in with dad.  It makes me so nervous that Ryan won't see him so I have to run along with him and he is getting fast!  But I think that Ryan knows if we are outside that Max will be running to meet him.
We had a family over to dinner the other night that are not members and we also had the missionaries over.  It was a good night and we all had a good time.  It wasn't really a lesson or anything but they did talk a little about the holy ghost to the girl that is Brytlee's friend.  I didn't know how it went but that night I got a text from the mom that said, "thanks for having us over.  It has been a long time since I have felt the spirit like I did tonight and in someones home and family."  It made me feel really good.  

Love n it

This little boy is so dang fun.  We all just love to watch him and everything he does makes us say ohhhh or laugh or just smile.  I love that my girls all love him just as much as I do.  

Elizabeth will watch him and when I get home she will tell me all the cute things he did.  Or if he is doing something they will tell me to hurry and come see what he is doing.  Adison kept telling me, "oh mom come see what max is doing.... It is so adorable".  

The school had a week that we were suppose to go and eat lunch with our kids.  It was fun to see them during the day and have a chance to sit and eat with them.  Brytlee thought it was a day that she should just be able to be done with school and go home after lunch but I talked her into staying.  

Alexis was a smarty pants for a fun Halloween party that she went to.  I swear that she is going to a party every single night.  So fun to be a teenager.  

The girls were so happy to see a double rainbow that was so bright and so clear.  You could see the entire rainbow.  It was beautiful

My little charlie brown.  He his a great little kicker.  

This little boy of mine loves nail polish.  It isn't that weird because he does have four sisters...... but anytime the girls are painting he gets so excited and wants his done also.  Or if he finds one he just does it himself. 

The library does a fun night with games and a free book and cookie.  It is fun to go and let the girls choose what they want and see everyone else in town.  It is always a busy night. 

Cheese

Max is so obsessed with balls.  He always has one with him.  He has gotten so good at saying, "football"  He is so fun to play catch with and I think he could do it all day long

we tried to put a costume on him for fun, and get him ready for halloween and he didn't like it at all.  He  didn't think his legs could work in it so he just played limp noodle on the ground and wouldn't stand up. 

Alexis is such a great kid.  All my kids are just great kids.  I am feeling very lucky to have such a fun, healthy, sweet, amazing group of kids.  I love them all!!!!

The Pumpkin walk

I feel like I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off for the past few weeks.  Life has just been busy.  I was put in charge of our wards super saturday and I have five crafts that I came up with and had to buy all the suplys for and had to help anyone that needed help with anything.  It was this Saturday and I had a lot of people that needed help and only one of me.  I ran and ran the whole time and never stopped once.  I was so relieved when it was over and just ready to relax.... Ryan's mom had a halloween party for all the grandkids while I was at the super saturday and so they both got over at the same time.  When Ryan got home he told me that he and were going to Pocotello to watch the boys play football.  I was not in the mood to be home alone so I took the rest of the kids to the pumpkin walk in Logan.  It was fun but it is getting so cold at night already.  I am so not ready for the cold weather.  

They always have such cute paintings for pictures

I was a little upset about the way some people act.  We went on a Saturday night and that means that is is super busy and tons and tons of people are there.  But I was a little surprised about how many people are just rude and think that they are more important than everyone else.... While we would stop to take a picture in line 20 people would pass us and push us out of line.  Then when I was trying to get max to sit in his stroller,  another big wave of people just but in front of us.  Brytlee even said kinda loud.  "mom, why do people keep butting in line?"  I just said just as loud, "I don't know honey, but it isn't very nice is it?"  Even when we were looking at pumpkins people would just walk past us and then stand in front of us.....  I guess we were invisible that night.  

I laughed really hard at the dumb and dumber scenes that they had.  They were great.

It was a fun night with the girls and we also went to a few stores, got some pizza and then headed home.
