Back to School 2010

We have been really busy the first few days of school, so I haven't been able to post pictures or anything yet. I only have 2 in school right now, but we are on the waiting list for Pre-K. (Everyone cross your fingers that we will make it in this year) So when Dylan starts, hopefully I will have a picture soon of him as well.

Car Accident August 23 2010

So on our way to school this morning, we were side swiped by a "under the influenced" driver. Object lesson: Don't take sleeping pills and combine it with alcohol! We have no idea how we made it out alive. Our Bishop had just drove by and said to himself that he thinks he knew our van. Sure enough it was us! Anyway, all I can say is thank you so much Heavenly Father for watching over us today. We had just said a prayer before we left the house for school.

I am so grateful for amazing friends and the priesthood who are inspired at just the right moments. I am so grateful to those sweet amazing angels that Heavenly Father blesses us with on this earth. I am so grateful for my family who is inspired to say morning prayers each morning before school. I am so grateful for my children that are alive. I am so grateful for gospel and for the knowledge of the life after this life upon the earth. I know that Heavenly Father had a hand in this 100%. Thank you Heavenly Father!!!!

Holy WOW

Well, I have finally gotten back to this blog thing. I see that it has been forever since I last blogged. Sakes Alive! Time really got a hold of me this time. Anyway, since there is so much to catch up on, I thought that I would reveal our story in pictures. That way I could get caught back up. So enjoy these pictures of what we have been up to the last oh let's say almost a year.

All Growed Up

So these past few days I have been trying to play catch up from our trip to Oklahoma. Not only have I been doing laundry and cleaning the house, all while taking care of Dylan who has had pnemonia and me with Laryngitis (sp?). As I have been doing this, I have also been putting up the Christmas decorations. It has been fun because the kids have been remembering previous years and so naturally I have been hearing, "Mom, do you remember when....". Well this year I did decor a little different and hung up Christmas ornaments sporadically around the house. I have all small red balls hanging with garland and lights. I happened to have found a big red one that fits perfectly with the rest as a center piece to my garland. Well Dylan, the smart guy that he is says to me, "Mommy, look that ball is all growed up from those ones. He isn't small anymore, he is a big boy like me". The enthusiasm in his voice was just enough to melt my heart. It was so cute that I had to blog about it. One of those had to be there moments. But none the less it was cute to me

Leaves Are Falling On The Ground, On My Head, on the Ground

Fall is my favorite season of the year. I love to watch all the different trees turn colors. It is also the one time of year that I have to make my children say something about eachother that they love about one another. (It do it more often than once a year, it just has more of an impact on the kids when I make them use their minds) Everyone knows that Fall is the perfect time year for outside fun. Whether it is from putting up Painting houses and Gardening to hanging up Christmas Lights and raking leaves. We have had such beautiful weather for the past week, I couldn't stand to be cooped up in my house another day, so I took the boys outside and WE ALL played in the leaves.
