Grandma and Grandpa F always give us a present to open Dec. 1st. This year it was a gingerbread house kit. It doesn't have much candy left on it now.

This is one of my favorite pictures because it reminds me of a very fun vacation.
During this vacation we went to the Imax with the Dorius family to watch Kung Fu Panda. The kids are holding posters of the movie. They had a box full of posters to take when we left the movie. We didn't make it home with any of them. As you can see Tyler was ripping his already. During the movie Tyler walked up and down the isle sampling everyones popcorn. When the movie was over his shirt was full of it. At some point during the movie he must've gotten full because he started putting it down his shirt. We were just happy he wasn't crying.

Surprising Facts
-I love to can. Yes I said love. Nothing makes me feel better than putting all the food in the pantry and bragging about it. Plus, it just tastes way better than store bought stuff.
-I hate the sky coaster at Lagoon. It's the ride that goes from one end to the other above the trees. If you want to lose a few years on your life take your little kids on it. They don't have seat belts and your little kids can slip under the bar. I'm getting freaked out just thinking of it.
-I think Christmas is so much more fun now as a parent, and I LOVED Christmas as a kid.
-I dream in color and I can remember most of my dreams.
-My shoulders and elbows are double jointed

Halloween

Halloween was fun. Sadie was a witch, Olivia a puppy, and Tyler a giraffe. I helped with Sadie's class party, 1st graders are so cute. They laughed at most anything. I told them a story called spoky Luke that has body parts we pass around. Jello was his guts, chalk his teeth, noodles his hair etc. Our family carved pumpkins a few days before, went to a ward trunker-treat, and got a few tummy aches.

Pinata

Saturday we had a Halloween party with Kimberly's cousins. The kids loved the pinata. Sadie broke one of it's legs off. Olivia wouldn't hit it and Tyler thought it was great.

Great Memories

No Tyler didn't turn three a month after his 2nd birthday, his mom turned 33. 10 years ago Shane asked me to marry him on my birthday. For my birthday he took me to the same restaurant that he asked me to marry him at. He also bought me this book called Remembering Kirtland. It has photos of Kirtland and other church historical sites in Ohio. I LOVE IT! It was written by a man who served a mission there and his brother. I haven't read the whole thing yet but some of the wording so far is the tour that we gave in Kirtland. It brought back a lot of memories from when I gave tours there during my mission. I haven't seen Kirtland since they restored a lot of the sites. I would love to go back someday and see it. When I first got to Cleveland Ohio I was surprised at all of things that happened there. For example over half of the D&C was received in that mission. It was a great birthday and a night of remembering.

Kelly's

Does anyone know what this bug is? We have been told it is a potato bug. We went for a ride up by Kelly's canyon a few weekends ago with Cal Watson, Yancy Whipple, the Wanlass family, and our family. This bug was a couple inches long, and creepy looking. The weather was beautiful that day and the fall leaves were so gorgeous. This was one of our favorite rides. The fall air smelled so good, and we couldn't have asked for better weather.
