Halloween Treats

We got a package from the grandparents for Halloween. GG and Gpa sent a kit to make rice krispy treat pumpkins and bats. We got it just in time for Family Home Evening. Nama and Papa sent a box full of goodies. The kids were on the edge of their seats waiting to open the packages. We are thankful for AMAZING grandparents!

Camping

Camping...in the living room. The kids were so excited. Rusty and I were also so excited when Ridge slept all night and late into the morning. That never happens.

Cousin Movie Night

We traded babysitting with Mike and Holly a few weekends ago. Here are the super cute kids watching a movie.

Early Morning Story

The kids getting a story and smoothie before Daddy leaves for work.

Bedtime lego tower

A few nights ago I was cleaning up the kitchen while Rusty was getting the kids ready for bed. It was so quiet for so long I wondered what was going on. When I went to look I found this lego tower. All four of them were so proud of themselves!

Kyleigh's FHE lesson

Kyleigh came up with our family home evening lesson all on her own. It was a combination lesson on missionaries and modesty. She drew the boy and girl on the board with what she considered immodest clothes then erased and redrew the figures with modest clothes. Then she talked about boys and girls going on missions. She did a great job. She will be a fabulous teacher. She was so cute focusing on Katelyn, talking on her level, and keeping her involved in the lesson. If you are wondering what the words are, think phonetic spelling.

Horseback Ride

On our trip to Yellowstone this past summer we planned to take Kyleigh horseback riding, but there was a mix up with the age requirements and she was a month short. So for her birthday we promised her we would take her on a horseback ride. My Mom really wanted to go with us so we waited until she was here, and we got to go with my Mom and Dad. We went with CJM stable in Poipu. It was a beautiful ride, with mountains and ocean views and a stream crossing. The trail went along the same place we have gone rock climbing in the past. Kyleigh was so excited to be on a horse. She told us later that her favorite part was when the horse started trotting a little to keep up with the horse in front of him. She got to wear her pink cowgirl boots that a friend gave her a long time ago. No jeans, though, it was just way to hot for that. Our guide was psycho. I mean that in the nicest way. I thought I would hear about wanting a horse after this, but they are stuck on wanting a dog so we are safe for awhile. Kyleigh did say she was ready to go again as soon as we were done.
