October Festivities

That is a tatoo of a scar on her neck. Yuck.

We got a huge snow storm already and temperatures dropped about 30 degrees in the matter of one day.
The pumpkin looks like Grandpa Hughes with the crooked smile. :) So funny.

Tradition. Yum & fun.

These girls are so much fun. They just had a great weekend full of Halloween parties and a visit from their Aunt Ginger!!!! It felt like Christmas this weekend with all the parties, candy, cooking and the visit from my sister. I am so glad she had an extra plane ticket that she "had" to use before it expired. We were so spoiled to see her. :)

Primary Program 2011

Favorite Sunday. I was blessed with the calling of Primary Choirister just a few months ago and am pleased to announce that the childrens hardwork paid off today. It was our Primary Program for 2011. All the kids did a wonderful job—especially my little Char who loved talking into the microphone. There were many people that said they could hear and understand each word in every song too. (Yay!) The kiddos and I worked a lot on diction and the dynamics in the songs. I was very pleased with how well they followed my lead. They brought such a great spirit to our meeting today too. After sacrament meeting, we met in the primary room to decorate cookies—I stole that idea from a blog that I had read—and we sang a few wiggle songs, took this photo and the Primary President read all the nice comments that members of the congregation wrote for the children (we had passed out comment cards with the ward bulletin). It was a great day! What a fun experience for us all.

Good luck to Adam next week....he serves in the Young Men's program and they are in charge of next Sunday's sacrament meeting. Hope it goes better than last year—one of their kids refused to talk. :/ Maybe I need to make cookies again for the Young Men in order to "bribe" them—like we did to the children. :)

A Webkins, Play-Doh, an R.C. car, books, dolls, and more...what a fun birthday!



After an hour of jumping in the bouncy houses, they were ready for pizza and cake.

Tangled theme.


Helping me with the birthday cake.



I cannot get enough of beautiful sunsets. We love our view.


It was our last weekend at the cabin....I am not ready for the season change. Where does summer go?
