Silent Nights, Peaceful Nights

Yes, I finally did it! After 6 straight months (or more) of being woken up in the night, if not by one child but by both, I put their bunk beds back together!
Dee was gone for a weekend so me and my boys did a bunch of rearranging. We moved them both into the same bedroom and turned Rylan's room into a playroom. My back hurt so bad that night! But oh it was worth it!
I have not heard a peep out of either of them in the last three weeks! It has been heavenly. They are both sleeping in their own beds, and they stay in their own rooms ALL NIGHT! That was the bestest most smartest thing I ever did, but Dee will never admit that I was right :)

Halloween Fun

My kids LOVE to decorate for all holidays! However, budgets are tight and we can't just go out and buy all new decorations. So here is our little project from last night...

Made with some cardboard and tissue paper. Not too shabby, and my kids thought they were AWESOME!

It's Autumn Time

I always look forward to this time of year. I love General Conference weekend, my kids and I usually go to Oak City for the weekend (Dee is always hunting). It's so peaceful and relaxing. I love riding up the canyon seeing the autumn leaves. I love spending time with my parents. I especially love spending the weekend with my boys. I feel like I don't get to see them very much, and I really treasure the time we have together.

Rylan was trying to pull a silly face, but I kept making him laugh, so he was trying to hold his face straight :)




Why is it, that you can NEVER get everybody smiling at the SAME time?!

Seriously?!

Finding pinenuts with Grandpa

Yes, my children are still in their pajamas at 2:00 in the afternoon, but really how often can we do that?

More of Baptisms

Here are some more pictures...

Of course, Hayden woke up with a slight case of PINK EYE on the day of his baptism!

my dad baptized Hayden and Dee's dad confirmed him

Cute little Aubree, who just had her baby about 1 hour ago!

Baptisms

This past Saturday was a pretty special day. Hayden was baptized a member of our church. And to make the day even better, he and Ryder were baptized together. It was such a great day and we were so lucky to have the support of our family and friends. We had a great dinner after and just really enjoyed the day.

Aren't they so handsome?!

I forgot my cord for my camera, so I will post more pictures later.

St. George with the Nuttalls

My boys love sharing the condo with LuCy and ClAiRe! And Claire loves waking up and having her cousins with her!
