a full FALL

So I was lucky enough to go on Lilly's first field trip to the Pumpkin Patch. We had a great time together and with our little buddy Matthew we were teamed up with. What a fun day in the rain with the pumpkins and stuff...

We had a blast painting our pumpkins from when our family hit the "PATCH". Man, can kids get creative when they get a paint brush in their hands...We also had a really fun time at the "Trunk or Treat" that was held at our church...too much CANDY in our house!!!

So Lilly lost her FIRST tooth after a very LONG time wiggling it and eating LOTS of apple hoping it would fall out. We had to tie some floss around and under the tooth and YANK it out. It took several tries to pull that stubborn thing out, but we finally got it. BOY she was super excited and loved waking up to what the 'TOOTH FAIRY" brought her. She doesn't let a single person walk by without showing off her newly LOST tooth. Very exciting...that was last Saturday night and Mason lost his 6th tooth the following morning (Sunday). Lots of teeth things happening around here as I just survived a HORRIBLE root canal. I was crowned by the Endodontist of having one of the most difficult jobs he's ever done on a patient. Well, that's something I can be proud of... Enough teeth things PLEASE for just a bit...Ops, I spoke too soon. Kadin and Hunter are gearing up for BRACES!!!!!!

We had our Primary Sacrament Program last Sunday. It was a bit crazy getting ready for it as we had General Conference then Stake Conference which left us with only two weeks to practice before the BIG DAY! As Primary President, I was super lucky to have such a great group of leaders, music leaders and teachers so willing to work hard. But the credit really goes out to the children as THEY did the program all by themselves and did a WONDERFUL job. The spirit was truly there and felt by all!!! This picture was AFTER it was all over and we could just "relax".
