Blessing Day

Baby Charlotte was blessed on Sunday, November 1, by her dad. It was a beautiful blessing, and thanks to Uncle Zak, I have a copy of what was said. Charlotte was surrounded by worthy men in the circle including daddy, Grandpa, Papa, Great Grandpa Burr, Great Grandpa DeWolf, Great Grandpa Taylor (Poppy), Ben, Cameron, Matt, Cory, Zak, Judd, and Bishop Nielsen. All those men--and we limited it to just grandpas and our brothers!

I love baby blessings. It was a special day as a mother, and a day for me to reflect and appreciate my healthy, wonderful babies--all four of them!

Halloween Fun

Camden, Kohler, and Cooper are inseparable at school. Their teacher calls them the "three musketeers."

Our little Tinkerbell. She was a ladybug for a few parties too, but she grew out of that outfit in a hurry!

Jedi robes handmade by moi. And, yes, it was a headache!

Nana had wonderful Halloween surprises for all the kids!

We had a wonderful Halloween. It was especially nice that the actual holiday was on a Saturday, so class parties and ward parties were all on separate evenings. My kids had fun at each event and came home with so much candy! It's a good thing it's already almost gone--less temptation.

We visited Nana and Papa before Shea took the oldest kids trick or treating. Then, after Lucy's legs couldn't walk anymore, we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's for our traditional soup, rolls, and too many yummy treats!
