ThanksGiving

We headed to California to stay at my parents house in Laguna. They left and headed to Hawaii to be with my sister who is going to BYU. My brother and his family came with us so we spent the week with them. We had such a nice time. We spent a day at Knott's Berry Farm and visited my grand parents. The kids just loved hanging out with their cousins. We went miniature golfing with dad. It was a nice relaxing trip.

What a great time to ponder about the things we are grateful for. As I look at my life and many others in this economy I can't help but have so many things to be thankful for. My family like many others went around and told each other what we were thankful for. We had quite the list by the end. After looking over these lists I became more then anything grateful for the importance the gospel is to each one of our children and for their testimonies. It amazes me how little children are like little sponges. They soak up everything we teach and copy everything we do.

I LOVE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!

Turkey Look-a-like

Jett had to decorate a turkey for thanksgiving. He wanted it to be a baseball player with his name on it. We had lots of fun trying to decide how to make it look like Jett.

1 is FUN!!

My LITTLE girl is 1!!

Well, Miley you aren't that LITTLE and you love to play with your brothers rough. When I found out I was pregnant with a girl I thought how great it would be to have the girly things around again. You are a true Tom Boy. It is hard for me to even see you in a skirt. You are so precious, but love to wrestle with the boys. Your smile is truly contagious. You make every one feel like they are special. Every where we go strangers think they are the only one that made you smile from ear to ear.

We had a Lundell Fun Day and celebrated your birthday along with Macey's. You sure made us laugh watching you eat your cake.

Anti Literature

We woke up this morning to a man putting anti literature on our front door and throughout the entire neighborhood. It was a dvd on Joseph Smith and what the "LDS PEOPLE" don't know about their own church. Macey walked into the kitchen and told Mason and I that she is going to get her friend and go take it all down. She jumped on her scooter with Jett and they went door to door taking them. We only let her do it on our street because the guys delivering the literature were still out there and I wanted to be able to see her. Here are a few pictures of the event!!

Time Flies

My sweet little girl is now 9 years old. She went back and forth on whether to have a party or a day about her. Last minute she decided to have a party. She wanted to do relay races and obstacle courses at the park so that is what we did. She is going to "So you think you can dance" this Friday. She again wanted to be surprised with her gift because she could not think of anything. This is what dad and mom came up with. We are excited to spend the evening with her. Poor Miley we will be gone on your birthday!!! We will make it up

She wanted me to make her a cake and this is what I came up with

Kathrine made it look like an ice cream parlor, but outside.

Up to Bat!!

I wanted to get a few pictures of you Jett so you can look back to each season and see how much you have grown. Mom and dad really enjoyed going to your games and we are sad it's over. Good job pitching!!!

I have loved my new calling as the Activity Day leader. It is so fun to have my daughter and all her friends over every 2 weeks. We had a Halloween photo shoot and made really cute frames to put their pictures in. The girls had a blast!!! We also decorated cookies and played "pin the nose on the pumpkin". I have such a great group of girls.

Another Great Halloween!!

I sure love Halloween and wish we could enjoy it a little bit longer. The kids and I really took advantage of this month and did a lot of fun things. This month we were so busy I really don't know where October went.

I had family come over on Halloween for some yummy chili and bread. We made home made root beer and hung out outside as trick or treaters came by. Uncle Tim, Uncel Brian, Dad and Grandpa Ron took all the kids around the neighborhood. They had such a blast with all their cousins. Roc and Macey decided at the end of the night they did not want their candy so they both dumped their candy into Spencer's bag. I was sure excited to get rid of it!(sorry Audra)

3 generations, WOW my grandma looks good (91)

This could not be a bmore fitting picture for her costume

My friend told Roc he looked cute in his costume the day of his school halloween party and with out him saying a word he went up stairs took off his costume and would not dress up. I don't think cute was the word he was looking for in his "Optimus Prime" Costume. I was shocked it affected him that bad!!
