1 year Forever Family Anniversary!

Today we celebrate our 1 year Anniversary of being sealed in the Temple as a forever family! The memories are so sweet of kneeling at the alter being sealed to my husband for all time and eternity. Then bringing our beautiful daughters to us to be sealed as a forever family! We are blessed.

Halloween late

I decided to do this in two posts. I had too many pictures to upload. We went to Rick and Caralyn's for Halloween this year. We usually go each year with them. It is a blast, they live in a great neighborhood.I think we had more adults then kids. The adults and teens were Rich, Rick, Brandi, Darrin, my Dad, Ryan, Autumn, Kylee, and her boyfriend Callin, and me.. The actual kids trick-or-treating Tymber, Kaycie, Hope, and McKinley. Kaycie was a witch, Hope care bear, Tymber a bee, Kinny was a skunk, The weather was pretty nice, the wind wasn't blowing and it wasn't too cold. Right as we finished it started to rain. Hope and Kaycie were so cute. They ran and ran to houses and laughed and laughed. I loved watching them. What a fun night.

Garden- really late

Tymber and her best friend KassaDee grew a garden this year. They did an AMAZING job. I was so proud of them. First they chose a spot that was full of weeds and morning glory. They worked their hearts out to clear it smooth it, rake it and so forth. Then they talked Rich into tilling it for them. They then took left over seeds to plant peas, zucchini, carrots,onions, and corn. They had to carry water to it and work very hard to keep the weeds out. Really I didn't think they would do it. Tymber has good intentions but then gets side tracked. Boy did they prove me wrong. I am sad I didn't take pictures of the garden. The cake is made from their zucchini above. Not only did they prove me wrong but they also were able to mark off one of their projects for Personal Progress in Young Womens!

table

Autumn made this amazing table in school. She did a beautiful job. She took cabinet making for one of her electives this trimester. She loved it so much she changed her schedule around the next two trimesters to be able to take advanced cabinet making. It was really fun listening to her come home and discuss tools and techniques with her dad!

Drivers Licence

Last Wednesday Autumn took her driving test and then Friday she took her written test. It has been almost a year since her permit and her grades are good so I told her she could get her license. Plus I am tired of driving her around and with me going to school I need her help once in a while. She is a good driver and I knew she would do great on both tests. On the driving test she missed 2 and the written she missed 4. Her picture turned out really good as well. I wanted to have her take a picture of her license after she got it but she was off and didn't get it sent to me. Then it snowed today and she wanted to drive, I wouldn't let her the roads were slick and I couldn't go with her so I told her no. She pouted but she will get over it, I don't feel comfortable turning her loose on slick roads yet even though she is a good driver.

parent teachers conference

Hope had her first parent teachers conference today. She is doing great in school. Her teacher said she is a little serious and quiet but not as quiet as Autumn was (this is good) she is not afraid to participate in class and raise her hand to answer questions. She is well behaved and scored a 3 on everything. A three is on task or mastered. She did excellent on her tests and knows all of the alphabet, she has a few issues with m w d and b but that is the normal ones to get mixed up. I knew she would love school and have no problems or concerns but it is also nice to hear from Mrs Stewart as well.

Friend=BFF

Hope is learning to spell a few words. She is always asking how to spell a word when we need something she wants from the grocery store so she can write it down on my list in the kitchen on the dry erase board. She learned to spell stop by herself, when asked how she told Autumn it is because she sees it everywhere and knows STOP spells stop. She can spell mom, dad, cat,dog and a few others without asking us now. Today she was writing and proclaimed she spelled friend, I asked her how it is spelled, her reply was BFF. She was so proud of herself and asked me if it was correct, I didn't have the heart to tell her no.
