Happy Halloween

This year for Halloween Garrett wanted to be Mario. He has this thing with mustaches so he was more than happy to be able to wear one! We decided to make our own...I think he turned out to be one of the cutest little Marios around...

Wyatt told us the other day that when he comes home from his mission he is going to be The Black Ninja and help Uncle Bryan catch the bad guys...too cute! At least he is going on a mission first, right! I went to Wyatt's school party. It is always fun to see him in other settings. He is a good kid with a lot of friends. This year he was chosen to be on the Student Council. It has been an awesome thing for this little guy. Tomorrow he is going with the whole Student Council to help fill boxes with food for the Food Bank. What a great experience! We love Mrs Boyce!

I love his serious look...

Here Kitty, Kitty!

I am so pleased with Alyssa's costume this year. I was going to have her wear the pumpkin suit that Wyatt wore, but she hated it! So, I thought and pondered and tried on a black fleece one-piece and she loved it! So...What does a kitty say?

Alyssa really got into Trick or Treating. She had it figured out from the first door. She also wouldn't let anyone hold her. She wanted to walk and carry her bag.

We had a fun night...The boys are already planning next year!

A Josey Wales Party!

Garrett really wanted to give Travis a Josey Wales birthday party this year. You might be thinking "Who is Josey Wales?" Wyatt would tell you "He is a tough cowboy that never dies." Josey Wales is a Clint Eastwood movie...one of Travis' heroes.

So, we bought Dollar Store cowboy hats,

wrapped Travis' new jean quilt in brown paper, and...

...went hunting! It was such a fun day.

The wind was blowing, so we helped the boys make a hide-out with a bunch

of branches that had been cut down. Can you see Garrett in there?

Happy Birthday, Travis! We love you!

It's Great To Be Eight!

We are so proud of Wyatt for making the decision to be baptized. He is growing a testimony of the gospel and it is so fun to watch him learn. He does a super job on talks for primary. This is the talk that he gave last week.

"Jesus was born into a family because he needed help getting food and being taut the gosbol and learing how to walk and talk. He also leard how to work and where to find food and water. Jesus was an enzapol what are famils would be like. I know that families are inportent. I'll like to bor my testumny that are families love us and care for us and they proted us. In the name of Jesus Christ. A men."

What a special day to be baptized! Nanny gave a talk on Baptism. Wyatt had so many people that were here to help him feel especially loved on his baptism day! Thank you to all who were here or sent well-wishes to Wyatt.

Doesn't he look sharp in his new suit?
