Our Family: Halloween....

"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Halloween....

Kaylin out trunk or treating....

We had our ward Halloween party and kaylin loved the spook house, thats were he stayed pretty much the entire time we were there.

Kaylin was SOOOO HAPPY when he found Mario, he fallowed him around the party and did what ever Mario did...he had a perma smile on his face!!!!!

kaylin and his two cousins!!

We couldn't leave kiptin out so for his first Halloween we made him a pumpkin! I always have told nick that if i was ever pregnant on Halloween i wanted him to paint a pumpkin on my belly....sooo thats what we did!!!! this is kaylin and daddy painting away.

I thought this would be a cute 32 week picture of me to put in kiptins scrapbook and to share with all of you....

This year Halloween was pretty weird and nick didnt get to do all the fun stuff with us again cause he was working and driving home from up north, but he did get the pumpkin painted and did make it home before Halloween was totally over. Kaylin had a great time though and was so fun the hole day, he loved being Luigi and by the end of the night he changed himself to super Mario instead, its strange to think next year we will be out with TWO kiddos trick or treating, but we cant wait...we can officially say we are having a baby next month now too!!

Kaylin's Funnies!

set up: nick and kaylin are playing video games.

"your not very good dad, you should let me show you how to do it"

"Iam really snart, i know stuff " (snart: meaning smart)

set up: kaylin wants to sleep in our bed.

"kaylin you need to sleep in your own big boy bed"

"but that is my 3 year old bed and I'm 4 so now I can sleep in this bed with you. its a 4 year old bed"

set up: kiptin pulled the filter off the vacume and I couldn't figure out how to put it back on.

"oh mom why did you take this off, let me fix it"

"no kaylin leave it alone, let daddy fix it"

"I can do it...see mom, fixed"

(a very stupid mom moment for sure...its sad when your 4yr old is smarter then you)

“One’s life….cannot be both faith-filled and stress-free….Therefore, how can you and I really expect to guide naively through life, as if to say, ‘Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!’ Real faith….is required to endure this necessary but painful developmental process.” Neal A. Maxwell
