Where to start...Halloween...

-
So, it has been so long I guess I will start with most recent and then work back...Halloween 2010... I guess we are in the minority...we live in a state that trick or treating stays on Sunday if it lands on Sunday we are not like Utah where they move trick or treating to Saturday...because it landed on the Sabbath we chose not to participate with our kids because we personally felt it wasn't appropriate for the Sabbath but we have no issues with our friends who took their kids trick or treating...we just chose not too. It was how we were raised and so that is how we choose to raise our children too. Anyway...that did not stop us from having a blast!!! We went trunk or treating with our ward on Friday night...this year is the first year I "officially" dressed up. It wasn't creative or anything but I actually dressed up. Last year I was 7 months pregnant and sorry butterfly wings just didn't "cut" it so I didn't count last year as dressing up. Nathan has always been a wizard...his original costume bit the dust so I made him a new one this year...Noah was Zorro, Natali was a spanish dancer, and Kate was a lady bug and Sophia was Dumbo" although the picture we forgot her ears. Sigh...Saturday we had a family day where we went to McDonalds and let the kids play on in the Playplace...which we NEVER do...I HATE the playplace...afterward we took them to Gameworks...Nathan and I went there for our anniversary after watching the "Phantom of the Opera" and we spent a good 2 hours there. We bought a $25 dollar card that gave you "x" amount of "credits" (I think it was 250 credits) to use on the games...and we didn't use all the credits in that 2 1/2 hours so we decided to go back and use them on the kids (honestly I thought we would end up buying more credits) but NO we had a 150 credits left on the card and after 1 1/2 hours left with credits still on the card. We came home pooped...watched a movie and bought a roast chicken from Sams that night for dinner. It was a good time!


We went to gameworks with the kids and decided to have the kids in a video CD that you could take home with you...MISTAKE...the video had our kids wearing very immodest clothes...needless to say you will never see it! Also funny when it went to print the CD it literally emptied ALL of the CD cases out before giving us our CD we then took a pile of empty CD cases up to the front desk...it was quite funny...
Our last game before going home they decided they all wanted to ride...LOL

Our Halloween...my costume said Fair Maiden but I felt more like a Revolutionary War Wife...Nathan as a wizard (no make-up) in this picture, Noah as Zorro, Natali as a Spanish Dancer, Kate as a lady bug and Sophia as Dumbo (minus the ears)

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
