"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences. "

October in Review

This is the look Baby Girl almost always gives us when putting her in her seat. It's very much a "Really?!? We're doing this again...?"

The Little Man enjoyed some after school playtime with just Mom.

Our Saturdays where spent at the fields watching some awesome soccer games. This particular day she had cousins join us in cheering her on.

We enjoyed General Conference with a house full of very fun visitors. Thanks Mel & Fam for a great weekend.

Quiet afternoons lead to naps together while watching a show.

We are still hiding out under a blanket with The Little Man when things are too stressful for him. It's happening less and less often these days.

A normal evening spend keeping her Mama company while she cooks dinner for the fam.



We spent a weekend hanging out with Auntie Cheryl who came to visit from Olympia. Fun to spend time with her. When I was growing up our families spent many weekends and vacations together. So many great memories. :)

Three cute kiddos ready for church on time. It's a miracle!

Love how he has to play right next to Baby Girl and how she watches him so intently. They love each other so much. Melts my heart. <3 p="p">

Waiting for their boy to get home from school. They're his best friends.

The Daughter used her Scholastic dollars to buy her brother a book at book fair. Best big sister EVER!

Slugs & snails have been out in full force on our sidewalks the last several mornings thanks to the constant showers the last several days. The Little Man enjoyed studying them while waiting for the bus. It was a great motivator to get ready quickly so we could head outside.

We had a blast at the annual pumpkin carving party at the Pierce's. So thankful for such fun friends and that our kiddos have become such good friends too.


Practice, practice, practice. It's what The Daughter did several times a week. And she loved every minute of it.

We said good-bye to the baby mullet and hope that it will grow in more evenly this time around. This Mama buzzed her baby girls head....

The Daughter is required to do at least an hour of math practice each week. Her favorite thing to do is play math games online.


And we had a really nice Halloween spent Trick-or-treating with friends.

Don't we have the cutest trick-or-treaters ever?!?



October was a month of regrouping and feeling like we were finally getting our feet back under us. I learned that I can't do it all and started cutting things out of my schedule to reduce my stress level and be able to be home with my kiddos more.
