packing up

What do you do with your kids while trying to pack?

Halloween

 Halloween seemed like it lasted for weeks but now it's come and gone. 

Boyce said when his ghost costume runs out to wants to be the number 12. 

Our neighborhood has a lot of elderly people so we paid them all a little visit on Halloween, turns out they all thought boyce was a little girl and everyone was dress up but me! For your information I don't usually dress like this. I am suppose to be Janie from Ghostbusters. although it's a great look and I might look into it!

Halloween Sneak Peek

 cutest little ghosts you'll see

If you want your "kunkin," as Eve says, to look spooky just put them on our porch and the squirrels will eat it! This pumpkin had two eyes yesterday.

Frisbee golf or disc golf as they call it here

With every nice fall day we live it up. You never know when it's going to be your last night enjoy being outside!

 Our frisbee golf course by our house is insane,

 So many trees!!

Winter Quarters Temple

It's a little bit of a drive for us to go to the temple but we love it!

The temple blesses our lives so much

and we also make a fun trip out of it going to Omaha

We spent some time with my great friend Mary. We were mission companions when we served at Temple Square. It feels like just yesterday but here we are both with 2 kids!

 Her kids are adorable and they had so much fun playing together! And our husbands, both Mark love being together. We hope we can live close again someday.

Brothers & Books

Reading books with your brother is timeless

General Conference

Boyce was so excited for General Conference this time because of this cool thing he wore all week

I am always excited for this time of year to listen to the leaders of our Church and reevaluate my life.

The Conference Bingo worked like a charm for him. 

We had some much fun together today we will see if he can make it through 4 more hours tomorrow. 

As for me I can't get enough.

As for Eve....

Family Night Fun Badge

Still going strong on our badges of fun. Boyce called this one Family Home Evening Badge. We played the fun marble game together as a family and it was a hit but when we were done he didn't want to print our badge out because he wanted to play all the games. It was fun but I was completely worn out by the end of the day. :)

Road Trip!

 We drove a total of about 2400 miles! Our kids did awesome. In fact Boyce cried when he knew we were going home. We saw lots of site and tons of family! We love being "home." We met lots of Turpins in Montana at the hot springs. The swimming was amazing, the mountains perfect, and the company entertaining. After a week in great Mt we headed south to Idaho to see the rest of the family. Thanks everyone for making great efforts to spend time with us. We love ya!

Badges of fun: Learn something new

For this badge we had a blast finding letters in the world around us. We found them at the park, at home, at the fair and everywhere we went. Boyce always made sure I have the camera on me. We finally got the entire alphabet  Boyce still is always looking for letters.
