Absolutely Incredible

Meet Dash and Violet!

This year for Halloween we will be going as the Incredibles!

A New Look

 McKenna came home with these last Friday as she chose them from the treasure box for having good behavior all week! The kids had a blast wearing them.

took some pictures

Lake Lanier

We had a ward camp out that was right off of a lake.  Bryson and McKenna wanted to invite their friends, Emiliano and Rebeca.  They aren't members of our church and our ward has been focusing a lot on sharing the gospel and reaching out to those that don't have the gospel in their lives.  We took on the challenge as a family to try to get to know our friends(neighbors) outside of church a little better and felt good about extending an invitation to a family to come with us on the camp out.  Bryson and McKenna were so excited to participate in this and we all decided we should invite the Velasquez Family.  We were thrilled that they said they would come.  The kids all had a great time. And our friends did start asking us lots of questions. We feel it's a good start in the right direction.

McKenna found a frog that she wanted to take home.

Bryson and Eme' trying to dig a hole to China. (What child hasn't tried to do that)

McKenna got to go on a canoe on the lake

 Bryson was using the log as a boat and trying to paddle with a stick!

So creative and funny!

Sugar Love

 My kids have traded places.  Usually Bryson is all about being careful about his intake of sugar, and McKenna is all about getting whatever sugar she can get her hands on.  Well, recently it's been the other way around.  I let them pick an after school snack the other day and Bryson came out to show me his awesome display of melted candy corn on top of corn chips.  It not only made him feel like he ate way too much sugar but it was a lesson to be learned on never melting candy corn.  It took a good while of scraping and scrubbing to get it off that plate!
McKenna came out with an apple in hand.  She wanted some assistance with cutting it.  When I asked her how come the apple over a sweet, she says, "My tummy needs an apple today because I was told it will keep the doctor away!"  Excellent!  Not sure if it would have the same effect on her if she got that information from me, but either way I'm glad it effected her in a positive way by hearing it from her teacher.
