The ward Halloween party was so fun - the kids had a bunch of activities to do, I got to hand out the treats, and all of the families had such fun costumes.

Went the easy route for the school bake sale - store bought rice krispie treats dipped in chocolate and sprinkles. Done.

We tried a new method for our pumpkin carving this year - the electric drill! We love the clean graphic design and how pretty our pumpkins turned out. The kids also painted their own tiny pumpkins, which turned out cute.

Brynae entered a contest to design a poster showing world peace and this is what she came up with. The detail is amazing and I love the bright colors. Her imagination is boundless. I love that about her!

A youth temple trip with this bunch of lovelies. They are strengthening their testimonies of the Savior and building relationships as they serve those on the other side of the veil. Well done, ladies!

A pretty typical occurrence around here - Baylie helping me with dinner while we are serenaded with music on the piano from Tamber. Bliss.

Some pleased young women today! They both received academic achievement awards in many different areas. I am so proud of how hard they work and the joy they find in learning. Way to go, girls!

We are trying to make family scripture study a daily part of our lives. It is getting more challenging as the kids are growing and life is pulling us in more directions. Still, when something is important - you find way.

A typical errand to Walmart with the family to purchase some pillows turned into impromptu flu vaccines for the kids when we saw that there was a flu vaccine running there. Sorry girls - I hope you'll still want to come shopping with us in future :)

The month is more than half over but I finally got some Halloween decorations up! It's starting to feel a lot more like Halloween around here now :)

With the Boyd and Roberts cousins in town again - this time for sports tournaments - we got together for another night of games and visiting. We could get used to this!

Yet another radio spot promoting Canadian Humanitarian - getting as much exposure as they can! This time there were talking about a fundraising campaign through a local school.

This cat decided to show up, meowing at our front door, on Thanksgiving day - and has been back each and every day since - wanting to come inside the house. Little does he know, we are allergic to cats and his bright green eyes have no power over us. He'll have to head to his house and get some lovin' there.

Saying a fond "farewell" to Elder Tracy as he is transferred to serve in a new area! It was great getting to know you!

Happy thanksgiving! We had the grandparents and more cousins over to share in our Thanksgiving celebrations. This is a panorama of our sweet set up (complete with some disfigured people as they were busy moving to and fro while I took the shot - they aren't normally shaped like that, ha ha!)

Hanging with the Boyd cousins - it happens a whole lot more since we've moved closer and the kids always have fun together. It's nice to see

A big day for this girl! She is getting some blonde highlights in her hair. She is growing up so fast.

A delicious dinner date with Joanne and Jason to the Thai Orchid Room. It was amazing food, but the laughs and visiting was even better :)

We always loved when Parent/Teacher conferences consist of one teacher after another expressing their joy at having our child as their student. Tamber's conference was no exception. She is a wonderful student who tries hard and implements what she is taught. Her teachers love her.

Our kids have had a slight Monoply obsession lately. I love that they choose to play this kind of game when it's all too easy to turn on the TV or a video game.

Thoroughly enjoyed General Conference this year. It's always a blessing to learn at the feet of Prophets and Apostles. The talks were so on point, for me, and I feel encouraged to do better.

It's always surprising to see what a little imagination can come up with. This was a dance party, set up for the tiny Disney characters the girls have - including a floor made up of Disney books and a Shiny mirror, a DJ station made from an old camera, a refreshments table, and decorations. Love it!
