Catching up

I hate it when my friends don't post for a while. I want to know what's going on! I seem to have missed a few things, so here is what's happened quite recently....

Our fabulous Primary president decided to take the kids to the Temple for an activity. They LOVED IT! Joshua and Marian really enjoyed it and talked about it for a while. Dan and I gave talks in church on Sunday and Joshua wanted to speak as well. He was still on fire from his Temple trip and gave his talk on that. It was sweet to see that the children were impressed with it.

My cute little man, in the same spot I hope he will be in another 12 years!


My beautiful Marian, who loves pretty dresses and posing for pictures. And I hope she also is wanting to be here, but in 20 years maybe!

This is what Callie did on Sunday. The nursery leader brought her to me just as RS was starting and said Callie had scraped her leg. There was no crying, so I assumed she had knocked the scab off her knee again. Nope, she'd done this and was bleeding all over her fancy pink dress, and my skirt. Poor thing. This picture was taken 2 days later, when she would finally consent to let me get a good look at it without a ton of drama. It was much nastier looking.


For preschool yesterday we went to the pumpkin patch at a local church. They had a marvelous selection and the kids had a blast checking them all out. Here is Delaney, one of the few times she was not hoofing it accross the parking lot. I got distracted once and Delaney had dashed accross the pumpkin patch, accross 2 sections of parking lot and nearly made it to the busy street before I sprinted accross the parking lot and nabbed her. She'll kill me yet!


My cutie Callie, posing for me. She got to pick out a pumpkin and painted it at preschool. We do also have two large pumpkins for carving next week.

And that's the recent activities from this here part. The kids are fantastic. Joshua isn't complaining about Spanish all the time. Marian enjoys school and seems to be doing really well. Callie is incredibly social and loves to play. Delaney just loves to run and run- preferably down the center of the street! Dan is happy with work and already talking about extending our time here and then getting out and becoming Civil Service. Say What?! We'll see.....

Cute pics...I love the pumpkin patch. My friends husband carved their pumpkin with his power tools. It look so cool. He said it was way easier then using a knife.

I love fall! It will be nice to be close, we can actually hang out! Meet in the middle?

OUCH poor little Callie =( I can relate to running down the young one but she is getting much better at listening. We were doing a worksheet and it was about stop signs and from that she always reminds me to stop and not just a little mom stop its MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM S-T-O-P or you go to jail!!! I'm glad to hear Josh and Marian had a blast at the Temple and I again agree with you that Marian, Madison, Callie all of them can wait at least 20 if not 25 years to go to the Temple-unless of course a Mission is what they choose to do. Good to hear all is well though, I miss you tons and Madison misses her Callie.

Your kids are getting so big, especially Delaney!! I was thinking she was the baby, but she is a little girl.
I have been grateful that, so far, I have never had a "runner" and that my kids always just stay with me. We'll see what Grace is when she starts to walk.

You have all the cute stories. Give Callie a ouchy kiss from me. I get to do sharing time. Talking in church better be another 10 years before that happens. It's a good think you run so that Daylane has some compition.
