A Very Special Day

Trevon got baptized on Saturday! The weather was gorgeous everything went smoothly, it was such a great day. Brian did a great job. His words brought tears to my eyes as he blessed Trevon at his confirmation.
I am so proud of Trevon's decision to become a member of the church. He is growing up to be such a wonderful kid. He is so sweet and sensitive and caring, I really couldn't ask for anything more. I love him so much! He got some new scriptures with his name on them from Grandma Jo and Papa. And he got some scripture stickers from the Lambs. So on Sunday him and I put the stickers in his Book of Mormon together. It was nice to spend that time with him talking about the different stories in the Book of Mormon. We had a wonderful weekend.





The whole gang! Thanks to everyone who came. It is so nice to know how loved and supported Trevon is. We really appreciate everybody who came, thank you!

Bronco Cake

I have to just take a minute to brag a little because even I can't believe I actually made this! Thanks to Becky and her awesome instructions I attempted to make a bronco cake for Trevon's birthday yesterday. And it actually turned out pretty darn cool if I do say so myself! It took me a long time, but I did it! I didn't burn it or drop it or anything. I am so proud of myself.




I also made this basketball one because we were having 23 people over and I didn't know if the bronco one would be enough.

Trevon is EIGHT!

Trevon turned eight yesterday. My little baby boy is eight years old! Trevon is such a great kid, I really couldn't ask for anything more. He is a fantastic helper to me and is a genuine sweetheart. I love him more than words can express! We had a little birthday slash bronco party last night. (we won't talk about the bronco part) The party was fun. It was nice to have our family and friends over to enjoy a nice evening together. We ended up with 23 people over last night to enjoy pizza and blimpies and cake and ice cream. It is so nice to have a house large enough to be able to do that. I am so blessed!

Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday we made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. It was a success! The kids always have such a good time picking out just the right pumpkin. This year there seemed to be a lot of particularly nice looking pumpkins which made it even harder to decide. Brian just kept filling the wheel barrow with more and more pumpkins. I think we ended up coming home with NINE pumpkins! Now our front porch looks like a pumpkin patch!







Taylor didn't want her picture taken until Brooklynn was there.
This picture makes me laugh. The three youngest kids are screaming their heads off and there is Jackson in the back making a peace sign.
Trevon is pouting because he didn't want to pose for a picture for me. Little stinker.


Here is Trevon pouting, and Taylor doing the pee pee dance.
Nice top of the head shot of Jackson.

Random Pics

As I downloaded my camera I found a few pictures that just made me smile. So here they are.


This is what happens when Jackson gets creative with a roll of scotch tape. I don't know how he could breath with that stuff on his face. And it is a good thing his eyebrows are so blond you can't see them anyways because I don't think he had any left after he ripped the tape off. Crazy kid!
This was relaxing with Grandma Becky and Papa Bob during conference.

Being crazy at the circus.

Taylor's first day of preschool

Taylor started preschool at the beginning of the month. She was so excited to go to Jackson's old school. She was so cute when we walked through the doors to the school she said "okay mom, you can go home now" and I said "don't you want me to take you into your new classroom? " She allowed me to help her find her seat and take a few pictures before she asked me to leave again. Little miss independent. She did great and she is having a lot of fun. She has even learned how to spell and write her name all by herself.

Jackson is SIX!!

Jackson turned six on October 8th. I know I say this all the time, but I can't believe how fast they grow up. It seemed like just yesterday I was in labor with him for 22 hours!! (a hint of what was to come, I think) But it was worth every minute. We love Jackson so much! Life would be down right boring without him around. I love you Jackson! Happy Birthday!!










Someone was feeling a little left out.
