A Proud Mommy :)

Today was the Primary Program- where all the kids ages 4-11 gave talks, said their lines and sang songs. I love the primary program! It makes you laugh and cry all at the same time.

Tyler's part was:

The scriptures are the word of God. The scriptures are special because they are written by God's prophets.

Jackson even knew Tyler's part and wanted to go up with the kids the whole time. Especially because Jeff was up sitting by his class of 6-7 year olds. My boys looked so handsome in their shirt and ties!

Tyler was asked to give a solo of I am a Child of God- during the year the primary would play American Idol during singing time- where each class would perform a song. The only song Tyler ever wanted to sing was I am a Child of God, so he asked to sing it by himself. I guess he did it so well that they asked him to sing for the program! When I first found out, I was so scared for him, but he was always excited to practice. He did an amazing job and brought us (well at least me) to tears. I am so lucky to have this sweet boy!!

Halloween Festivities (so far!)

The boys got really sick this past week with croup & upper respiratory infections. It was no fun! We missed Tyler's preschool program on Thursday, but luckily he was feeling much better by Friday to participate in our other parties! I did my best to do fun things while they were home when they were feeling up to it.
On Monday we carved pumpkins. And by "we" I really mean I... oh well.

Tyler picked a spider, and Jackson wanted the kitty-cat-bat. Next year we will NOT be using the stencils, they take way too much time. I'm actually thinking painting pumpkins might be a better fit!

On Thursday I made Mummy Dogs for dinner!

Friday we got all dressed up in costume and went to a couple parties!!

Here are my tough Batman & Robin. I kept telling them to smile, but Tyler told me that superheros don't smile!

We went to their gymnastics place for a fun party- one of his favorite teachers, Dustin was also Batman!

Robin showed me his cool hanging-on-a-bar trick!

Then we headed to our church Trunk-Or-Treat party!

They had a train ride, professional face painting, tons of games and trunk or treating at the end- where the kids went around the parking lot and got candy from decorated car trunks!!

Some of our boys favorite friends!

My grandma Lanie and I-- she had to take off her wig and hat for the boys to go to her!!

It was a fun night! Jeff and my Dad were doing the chains at the high school football game, so I had fun with friends, Mom and Grandparents at the party and am excited to have Halloween together with Jeff and the boys tomorrow night!!
