Green Bluff

We went to Green Bluff last weekend and began our October of fun. We picked out two big pumpkins and a box of apples. The kids liked the pumpkin patch, Makayla sat on any pumpkin that was within range, and Evan and James ran through giggling and chasing each other. Sadie, was terrified of them for some reason, and insisted on being held by daddy. Emily enjoyed the ride in her stroller. We had conference last weekend also and I made yummy pumpkin cinnamon rolls. I love fall. Enjoy the pics....

And here is a picture of the kids playing last night before bed...it was so cute

James Micheal's 7th Birthday!

This is super late, but James Micheal turned 7 years old on September 12th, 2012. He has grown up so much and loves first grade. He is always saying funny things and being such a big help to me when his daddy is gone. For his birthday he wanted an Optimus Prime cake:

We also went to the fair and feasted on yummy food and fun rides. It's been a tradition to do this every year for his birthday and he loves it. Both sets of grandparents visited at different times of the week and celebrated with him. We sure love our family. Here is the fair pictures:

Being James' mom has been wonderful. I was looking through my journal entries the other day about when he was a baby, I can't believe he is being baptized next year, and only 10 years after that, a mission...wow!!

I am so grateful Heavenly Father saw fit to give me a son first. Someone who is crazy, fun, outgoing, loving, and helpful. He is such a blessing to my life, I love you James Micheal. You are such a great young boy!
