Blogging? Whats that?
Yes, it has been quite awhile since I've sat down and blogged. To be honest, I just haven't wanted to. There has been a lot going on so here's the readers digest version.
September:
Sometime our ward finally split and we were put into the new ward. Andrew was called to be the 1st counselor in the Young Men's Presidency (even though he is coaching this year and won't be able to make it to most of the activities) and I was called as the Secretary for Relief Society. We, and by we, I mostly mean me, have been super busy with our callings. My calling has been part of the reason I have not blogged in 2 months. By the time I'm done at the computer, I don't feel like sitting here any more. Right now, I am procrastinating planning my lesson a little bit longer by blogging.
October:
Jackson turned 4 on the 1st! We had a small birthday party with a few of his friends from the neighborhood. It was a blast. It was a superhero theme (of course!).On his actual birthday we told him we would go out to dinner. We asked him where he wanted to go and he said, "I know! The way yummy food from Mexico." We said, "Mexican food?" "
Jack, "No no no. It's the yummy place with food from Mexico."
Us, "Yes, food from Mexico would be Mexican food."
Jack, "Oh yeah! What is that place with tacos and burritos?"
Us, "Don Pedros? Tahrumaru?"
Jack, "No! The other place!"
At this time we had NO clue what he could be talking about so we started naming off other places he might want to go.
Jokingly, I said, "Oh Taco Bell, Del Taco..."
Jack interrupted me, "YEAH! THATS IT! Del Taco is the way yummy food from Mexico!"
We crushed his hopes and dreams and did not go to Del Taco, mostly because the closest one is about 30 minutes away and Del Taco is yummy but not THAT yummy. We ended up at Tahrumaru. So yummy.
I turned 26 on the 2nd! Nothing too exciting happened that day. I cleaned bathrooms, did laundry, kids fought, yeah it was interesting. Andrew bought me a flash for the camera which was super exciting. I had been getting back into photography as a hobby and this was something I wanted to get. He also registered me for 2 photography classes which ended up not working out and I didn't get to go but thats alright. We went out to dinner but now it has been long enough that I don't even remember where we went. That's alright. It ended up being a pretty good day.
Easton turned 1 on the 16th! I can't believe my baby is 1! He is quite the funny kid. He still has those cute dimples and long eyelashes. His top two teeth have finally come in and he has the cutest little gap in between his teeth. We kept his birthday pretty low key. Had some Mcdonalds for dinner. That kid sure can eat! He loves his food. Despite his love for food, he's still teeny tiny. We're still waiting for him to hit 20 lbs. He's close! Only about a half a pound left.
Halloween: We had a great Halloween this year. It is so fun as the kids get older and really enjoy these holidays. Jackson was an Air Force Pilot (pretty sure he picked the costume based on the fact that it had a walkie-talkie and whistle. Thank goodness that whistle has disappeared). Kenadi was a fairy and Easton was a raccoon. We had our ward Halloween party the Saturday before at the park across the street. It was a small carnival and trunk or treat. But instead of using trunks we all stood in a big circle and the kids just walked around. The kids seemed to love it and we loved that it was a short thing. On Halloween itself, I took Easton trick-or-treating to our neighbors house, and then took the older two trick or treating along with their friend Jane (and her mom Molly, my good friend). It was fun! We enjoyed walking around with the kids and Molly & I enjoyed visiting while the kids trick-or-treated. Jackson and Kenadi were pretty excited getting to stay out so late (like 8:15). Although, Kenadi started to crash about 8:00. But she kept insisting that she wasn't tired and not ready to go home even though I was carrying her, her thumb was in her mouth and her head on my shoulder haha. Overall, Halloween was a success!
And as I was uploading pictures this is the message I got:
LAME! I guess I'll have to figure something out because really, thats the only reason people look at the blog, for pictures of the kids. It's okay.
