Halloween Parade

Today Kaylee had a Halloween parade at school and Braden had a Halloween party at his preschool. They both wore their costumes today almost for the whole day. That means that I need to wash braden's costume so that he can have clean pants and shirt for Trick or treating. They had alot of fun today at their different activities.

Jack-o-Lanterns

Yesterday we carved our pumpkins for Halloween. We had smaller pumpkins this year and only one big one. So I carved the big one and the kids each carved a small one. I ended up doing braden's but Kaylee carved her pumpkin all by herself and she did a really good job.

Black Island Farms Fieldtrip

Today Braden had a fieldtrip with his preschool to "Black Island Farms". Its a farm that is about 2 blocks away from where we live. They do hayrides, and have a park with big hay slides, cow train, and corn mazes for little kids as well as big kids. We had alot of fun today.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

About 3 weeks ago, a friend gave me a recipe for these delicous cookies. I made them with the kids and we had fun. They turned out very good. It is worthy of repeating again before winter comes.

Family Photo Shoot

Last Saturday October 10th we had a Photo shoot with Matt Peterson. He is a member of our ward and has a new photography business. He is an excellent photographer and from the pictures that he let us see at the photo shoot, he did an amazing job. The location was in Historical 25th street in Ogden, Ut. The building was an old space that was being remodeled and it had wood floors and a huge brick wall that was used as our background. The lighting was natural from the sun and it came through the big windows infront of the building. The props where old wooden crates and a chair. We wore brown colors. I can't wait till we get the pictures back and we can start printing them and make our christmas cards for this year. For once we will have some proffesional photos for the cards.

179th General Conference

This conference was a very good one. This weekend started with me going to the temple with my parents to do some family names. The session was in spanish and it was the first time for me at a spanish session. I felt the spirit very strong while in the temple and felt very at peace. We then went to eat something. I am grateful for Jorge because he stayed home with the kids so that I could go with my mom and dad to the temple and help them out with our family names.
Saturdays conference session was great with the news of the building of more temples, specially another one here in Brigham city, Utah. My prediction is that every year they are going to be announcing more temples here in utah. So in a couple of years we will have another open house and temple dedication we can go to. What wonderful news. The talks were very special to me, I felt the spirit testify to me of the truthfulness of our gospel over and over again. I think I had tears in my eyes through out the whole time. That is how powerful the speakers were.
Sunday's session was wonderful as well very interesting topics which I loved. Sister Ann Dibbs talk about holding to the iron rod was one of my favorites, and Elder Hollands talk about the Book Of Mormom, his testimony was very impressive the way he talked and testified of our dear Book of Mormom and Joseph Smith's sacrifice for this book. All in all the talks were very edifying to the my spirit. I really enjoyed this weekend with my family at home.

ZING ZANG ZOOM!!!

Yes, we went to the circus about 2 Saturdays ago and if something that wasn't planned at all and we ended up not having our camera with us. So therefore no pictures people!! But we had driven down to Downtown SLC to find something to do with the kids. And decided to go to the circus, so we bought tickets which were very high in the nose bleed section. The kids had fun at their preshow and then during the show they were excited to see the animals, acrobats, clowns ect.. Jorge and I had tons of fun also seeing the show. We were glad we took the kids to see it.
