Baby Bump

I am about 30 weeks and everything is looking good with baby. He's growing well and I feel him moving quite often. I'm excited to meet this little guy in January.

Missionaries

We have been able to have the Elders over for dinner and lessons quite often recently. It's been wonderful to feel of their spirit and love. They've also been helping our friend, Michelle, with some family history which she has really been enjoying.

One of the elders, Elder Garrett, was finishing his mission and was supposed to have dinner with us the night before he left. He ended up going home a day early and wasn't able to eat with us. We thought that he had left without being able to say goodbye and Cambria was so sad about it. He and Elder Johnson surprised us while we were doing school. He was leaving a little later that afternoon but he made sure to stop by and say goodbye to us. It was so sweet.

The kids and elders had fun jumping on the trampoline, playing laser tag, and enjoying some magic tricks by Elder Garrett. I am so thankful for these young men who are willing to leave their families for two years and share the gospel. They are such wonderful examples!

More of Cutie Cosette

I don't really have a reason for this post other than to show off this cute girl. She knows how to cheese it up for the camera so well.

Cosette loves bath time and has recently preferred taking baths without Sis.

We were at the Lockwood's house and Cosette found a good place to relax.

Fruit Flowers

We did K12 for a little over a month and we had so many technical difficulties, lack of communication, and so many daily lessons that we decided we needed a different program. The kids are now doing Time-4-Learning for their math and some science and we are using The Good and the Beautiful program for language arts and history. It is working out so much better and we are all a lot less stressed.

One of the assignments had Atreyu make different flowers out of food, choose his favorite, and then right down the steps to create it. He made some pretty flowers.

Halloween 2020

In August I sent out a text to a bunch of ladies from church asking if anyone would be interested in having a Halloween party since we didn't know if the kids would able to go trick-or-treating. Many of them said yes but by the time Halloween rolled around, most of them made different plans, which was a bit frustrating, but it all worked out. We only had our family and three others come, but it was fun with games and food and the kids still got plenty of candy. I forgot to take pictures, which I blame on pregnant brain, but I did get pictures of my kids in their costumes.

Atreyu was a Soul Taker with this creepy costume. He loves to be anything scary.

Cambria was Addison from the movie Zombies. When all the Covid restrictions are lifted, she wants to try out cheerleading.

Cosette was the cutest Minnie Mouse ever even though I couldn't get much of a smile out of her. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is her favorite show.
