A "Moo"velous Halloween

Welcome to Old McDonald's FarmEliza got pretty good at telling everyone what we were going to be for Halloween. She would say: "Eliza be a horsie, Porter be a cow, Momma be a pig and Daddy be a Farmer had a dog." (We've been singing the B-I-N-G-O song and so all farmers have dogs now.) We had a blast at our ward's Halloween carnival night and Trick or Treating on Halloween night.

Our Backyard Pumpkin Patch

Daniel and I had no idea what we were doing with our garden this year, but we were able to get 5 pumpkins out of it before the hard frost a few nights ago. (Eliza wouldn't let the Cheetos bag go for anything, Daddy brought it home as a surprise from work.)

Bill and the Train

Bill is our good friend from the Southridge Seminary. On Saturdays he volunteers to drive the train at the Columbia Park. The park is right along the river, it was fun.

A Wii little problem

On Labor Day we decided to rent a Wii game from Blockbuster. We brought it home to find out that we could not get the Wii to take it. We emailed the company and they paid for us to send it in. We got it back exactly one week later with this note saying that the following was found inside the Wii. Oops. They still payed for the repair, but said they wouldn't pick up the tab if it happened again. It would have been $75 . We now unplug the Wii and put it up high when it is not in use.

Primary Singing Time

Eliza singing Child of God.


Porter doing the interpretive leg dance to Follow the Prophet (sung by Eliza).

Fun Dip Fun

This is as exciting as it gets around here. Eliza sharing the fun dip treat she got from the "Paci Fairy". She gave her paci's away and got a treat at the door for them. She asks for her paci when she is sad or tired, but we just remind her she gave them away. Now to get rid of Porter's before baby #3 is here...

Now our pictures are paci free!!

When's Dinner?
