It's beginning to look alot like Christmas

My sweet mom brought me up this darling arangement the other day and it inspired me to pull out the christmas decor and get started. I love my mom and am so grateful for her and my dad in my life. They have been so supportive and helpful to me with my crazy life. I am so glad that I know I can count on their support and they are only ever a phone call away.

Pheonix, Phillidelphia, New Jersey, and Denver

This was the fastest and longest trip I have ever been on. If that makes any sense.
We flew to philidelphia then got in a rental car and drove to new jersey to go see Kris's brother Jason graduate the coastguard. I will post more pictures when I get the disk from my mother in law but it was crazy! We were in the remnants of hurricane Ida. The pictures of the ocean dont really show just how big the waves were, but it was an amazing experience and one I will never forget.
I HAVE TOUCHED THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEANS!! So exciting for someone like me who hasn't traveled much. More to come on this trip

Halloween

For Halloween this year we did trunk or treating on Friday with the neighborhood and then went door to door trick or treating with Grandma. I thought it worked out pretty well. The trunk or treat was alot of fun and they had face painting and donuts inside the church afterwards.
I have to say though I like the door to door for one because the kids dont aquire as much candy and they get worn out.

Halloween Party

We had our annual Halloween Party with our cousins this year and once again it was so much fun.
We had lunch,ate donuts from a string, had a hayride, carved pumpkins and made a mess with silly string. So much fun to visit with my cousins and aunt and uncle. I am so glad that they still continue to the Halloween and Easter parties since its really the only time we all get together.

Mom's Birthday Gift

This is the birthday gift basket that I made for my mom. She does so much for us and I love her dearly. I decided that since she has everything to give her stuff that I had canned and a few other trinkets. I hope she enjoyed it I loved the basket.

Challenge

I am doing the read the book of mormon in 90 days challenge. I am on day 6. Not going to lie I am pretty darn proud of myself. This will be the first time I have read since 9th grade! Holy crap. Any way thought I would put it out there so I feel more accountable to keep up with my challenge.
