We just wanted to wish Logan a Happy Birthday! He is an awesome brother, a great father, and an amazing friend. Hope you had a great day.

We love you!

Halloween Party

We had our ward Halloween party on Thursday night. I was shocked by how many people dressed up! It was so much fun. Trevor dressed up as a cowboy and I was a pumpkin.
After the party we went to the Brown's to carve pumpkins. I purposefully only bought one pumpkin so I could just watch Trevor carve. Well it ended up Trevor had forgotten about homework he had to have emailed to his teacher by that night at 10 PM. Needless to say I was the pumpkin carvin' girl. For the first time I actually tried way hard to make it look cool. Here are the results:

Happy Birthday Ayden Sean!

Today Ayden is five years old! He is getting so big. Ayden is such a kind boy. He has a sweet heart and is such a good helper. I remember this day five years ago, being in the hospital room with mary as she bore her first child. It was a very touching moment in my life, that I'll never forget.

Happy Birthday Tates!

We love you!

Saturday=Craft Day

Saturday was a busy and fun day! I started out my day with making this craft with a few friends.

I was able to go see Thriller with my parents, Keith and Jill and Ryan, and G&G. It was fun to finally see it after hearing about it for all these years. My cousin Alysha was in it. She did an awesome job; 200 girls tried out and they only chose 30. She's amazing!

{Alysha is on the left of me. Pretty scary!}

Later that night we met up with our friends, Tyson and Bridgett. Bridgett and I have been wanting to get crafty for a while now, so we finally did it. With only three visits to Walmart too. Here are our creations.

My reading guy

Trevor isn't much of a reader. He's never really read anything for fun, but this trip he started reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. He has LOVED it. Alan was nice enough to send him home with it to finish, and he has barely put it down. It makes me happy to see him reading because I seriously love reading and I'm happy that he can now share that love with me.

{He doesn't look very comfy, does he?}

Tuesday with the Buchanans

Early on Tuesday morning Trevor and I rode the train down to the city with Alan. After that we rode the subway to Battery Park. We didn't ride the ferry or anything, but we did see the Statue of Liberty. We then walked down Wall Street which was really cool, went in the Trinity church (where part of the National Treasure was filmed.) After that we walked down to the World Trade Center Site. We ate at a cafe across the street from where the Twin Towers were, the same building it is in is one of the places where those escaping the events of 9/11 hid in for protection. It was really neat to be there. It feel so much more real when you are there and made me sad.

{That's the Statue of Liberty, far in the distance}

{This was in Battery Park, it used to be displayed at the World Trade Center and is now there as a reminder of the unity our country felt}

Later that afternoon Laura took us to the airport to head home. We were sad to say goodbye, but luckily she'll be in Utah December 16th! We had so much fun with the Buchanans. I am so happy that Trevor got to know Laura and Alan better and see what an amazing woman Laura is. We bonded with the kids. Got to see the beautiful New York fall colors. And Trevor was successful in business. It was a great trip! A big thank you to the Buchanans for their hospitality!

Monday with the Buchanans

Monday we had some good bonding time with Abby and Andrew. Unfortunately Laura got a flat tire on Sunday (Trevor, our hero changed the tire in the pouring rain) so she needed to take it to the shop to be fixed. She also took treats to Connor's class to celebrate his birthday. While she ran those errands Abby and Andrew stayed home with us!

First up, building a tower:
Then of course you have to push it down:

{Obviously Andrew's idea to break the tower, Abby wasn't too happy}

Next was dress ups:

Then we played with Abby's Polly Pocket collection. When I was a little girl I absolutely loved playing with barbies, and although I am 20 years old I really had a fun time playing Polly Pockets with Abby.

Because we missed school Monday and Tuesday, Trevor had to skype into a class presentation going on back at UVU. It's pretty amazing that he could do that.

Trevor had three appointments that night for work. So while he did that, Laura and I got crafty and really had a great time getting creative. It's so fun doing that with her.
