Happy Halloween!

Highlights

Best things this week:

Dinner with Josh, Rose and Grace

The pumpkin patch and Thanksgiving Farm with Friends and Family

Washing the van for family night

Mae eating three times as much food as Wes

Mae yelling out this morning, "Mommy!"

Wes saying daily in a sad voice, "Mom, I'm sick for candy"

Wes saying twenty times a day, "I got for bout it." (I forgot about it)

And tonight while I was making Wes' bedtime snack of raspberries he said, "Mom your a best friend"

I love my kids, I have the best life.

Inspiration

I have been inspired by so many things lately, good books, friends, family, and conference. Here are some of the things that I want to work on and incorporate:

I want others to walk away from me feeling good about themselves

My favorite quote from conference: "Never suppress a generous thought" Elder Uchtdorf

Pick one thing a month to change and work on it for that month

Organize my freezer, stock it with premade meals

Pattern

Look at this cool pattern that John designed for me. I can't decide what to use it for, there are so many fun things I could do.

Teeth Time

Update:

Mabel has six teeth.

We took Wes into the dentist a few weeks ago and found out that he has an extra tooth. he has two incisors next to his left front tooth, which kind of makes it look like he has three front teeth. Mel was missing an incisor, maybe he got hers.

Family Time

We spent last weekend in Idaho having fun with the Petersens. We had a fun picnic, went to the zoo and did a little shopping. Then they came down this weekend for conference, Wes had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa after such a long summer without them. (check out the Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head that John had growing up, they cracked me up.)

Wes' mind

Last week we were at a drive through where the guy helping us had pretty shaggy hair, hat and beard all the same color. While we were waiting Wes was looking at the guy and said "Dad! (long pause) Oh! Dad, he's a sheep!"

While we were in Idaho Wes asked Steven "what is on your face?" Steven said "a beard", Wes said "a weird?"

The other day while we were driving Wes said "Hey Mom! There's a contact in my eye!" (while he was holding his eye open and poking it)

Another time in the car: "Mom, where is Travis?" (Huh? I've never hear of or talked about a Travis) "I don't know, is he from nursery?" "No, he's from Wesy's house" (I still don't know)
