Fun at Grandma and Grandpa's House!

We just got back from a trip to Logandale for my 10 year high school reunion! I can't believe it's been that long. We had a really good time catching up with my friends and seeing what they're up to. The kids had a blast at Grandma and Grandpa's house. It's always nice to go to Logandale, where we can let the kids run around outside without dying of heat. Plus, it's a lot more fun to play on grass than on rocks!

The first night we were there, we went to our Homecoming football game, which was really fun. The kids did pretty good; Levi slept through the whole game. Here is Eden enjoying time with Grandpa-

On Saturday we just took it easy and let the kids play. It was a fun, but quick trip. We love going to Grandpa and Grandma's house! Here are some more pictures of our trip:

Decorating Pumpkins for FHE

Sometimes I wonder if the leaders of the Church are serious when they ask us to have FHE every week. Maybe those of us with really young kids should be exempt. Surely, they wouldn't endorse an FHE like we had recently.

We decided that our kids might like to decorate pumpkins for Halloween. They're getting older- they can handle it, right? Well, it was going pretty well at first. Jonah was having a blast with the permanent markers *cringe*. Eden didn't really understand, but hey, there were stickers involved, so it was fun. Jonah loved the glitter glue, which never seemed to dry, and started rubbing it all over his arms. For some reason Eden lost it, as seen in the pictures, and continued screaming until she went to bed. So we quickly took a picture of our finished masterpieces and went upstairs to put her in bed. After that, we noticed how quiet it was even though Jonah wasn't in bed yet. And just as we suspected, Jonah was up to something. He had taken all four pumpkins off of the counter and was playing with them on the couch- wet glue and glitter everywhere.

So, that made for a fun night. I think from now on we'll just stick to the usual FHE: singing a few Primary songs and talking about Jesus.

She's okay here...

Getting tired...
And here is where she loses it!
Our finished pumpkins!
Maybe this will work out better next year!
