October Catch-up!


Life has been way more than crazy the past few weeks but I wanted to blog about a few things that happened the last half of October. Warren took Carson on his very first deer hunt. They had such a good time despite not coming home with a deer. They left on Friday the 17th and came home Tuesday the 21st. Warren said that Carson was literally a Mountain Goat! Carson out hiked his dad, and never complained about hiking. Carson loves the out doors and so he loved the experience of hunting for deer. I was so nervous about Warren taking him but Carson had a blast. It was great father and son bonding time. Connor couldn't go because of football but we made the best of the time with out them.


This was a family night activity that we did with the kids right before Halloween. The kids loved carving pumpkins and after that we went to one of our family's favorite Restaurants for dinner, Elmatador in Bountiful!


Halloween was fun as usual this year. Connor was a nerd if you can't tell. Connor went to a friends to trick- or-treat and have a sleepover that night.


This is Carson, Iron man! Also in the picture is his best friend Austin who is Indiana Jones. We invited Austin to come hang with us for the night and have a sleepover with Carson. They had a great time!


And here is Hannah Montana! Brynlee looked so cute, despite not wearing the blond wig we bought her to go with her costume. She some how ended up with the most candy, I guess everyone loves a Hannah look alike.


And last but not least is Sassy our ladybug! The picture sucks because I could not get her to hold still as usual. I could not believe that she kept the costume on at all so I couldn't be to picky on how the picture turned out.
Also on Halloween Brynlee and I went with some friends to High School Musical 3 ! It was lot's of fun and I loved watching the excitement on Bryn's face as she watched the Movie on big screen! I have a picture of us I will have to post later.
The biggest thing to happen the end of this month was my new calling in the ward. Sunday I was called to be the new Primary President of my ward! If your jaw just dropped so did mine. It actually was a neat experience of how it all happened. A few weeks ago the spirit told me to get ready for something big. I immediately started to get my family in order ( we hadn't been regularly having family prayer and scripture study) so we started back up and then the spirit told me that I was going to be called to be the primary president. I didn't want to believe it at first but then I was called to meet with the Bishop and new it was real. This has all been quite over whelming for me but I am excited! I have such a big responsibility and so I was blessed to have the spirit get me ready. My thoughts are constantly on the primary children and I lay awake at night thinking about how I can make a difference in their lives. So if any of you have pointers for me let me know. My sister-in-law Michelle was just recently called to be primary president in her ward so I know we will be on the phone together more than ever. Also wrapping up this month was Connor and Carson's sporting events. Football and Soccer have now ended and we are looking forward to less hectic weeks. So many of our family and friends came to support our boys these past few months and I just want to tell you all Thanks again! We love and appreciate you all so much!

Wow - you all have had a busy busy October! Congrats on your calling Eryn! That is so awesome! The kids looked so cute in their costumes :) Thanks for having Warren tell me about the blog - I've had fun reading about your family as well as Aislinn and Corinne's. I can't seem to get into Tristan's though...do you have any ideas to help me?
