Jane

The big kids were washing walls for a punishment and when their time was up 

Jane started washing walls. This baby is learning how to work young!

SCRUB Harder Jane

Daisy was crying because she got hurt and Jane went over and gave her a big hug.

Kids are getting excited for Halloween. 

Jane's first Popsicle. 

 Jane got her first vaccination and she didn't even cry.

Clark said mom I didn't laugh, you said I was going to laugh. 

He didn't cry, but he's right he didn't laugh either.

Most of the other kids do this laugh almost cry, but never actually cry. 

It's more of a nervous laugh/cry thing.

I got a shot too and man it hurt!

 This girl loves being outside. She's happy just sitting on the doorstep.

Clark

I looked over at Clark and saw him like this. I asked him what he was doing 

and he said, "I'm concentrating."

Clark has me take pics. of almost anything he builds.

Danny took Clark on a date to see the Octonauts Live.

15 Year Anniversary

I can't believe how fast 15 years have gone by!

I'm so blessed to have my best friend as my eternal companion!

 We went out to dinner to celebrate. In the near future we will go on a vacation to truly celebrate.

Also, I can still fit in my wedding dress. (Just a bit tighter up top :))  

September Misc.

Spending lots of September evenings at a new park by us.

Family fun at Pizza Rev

At the Bullring races

  Clark loves his mama.                                 Daisy's friend was baptized.

Max has begged me for years to put him in Football. Well I said yes to Flag Football.
I know he's 6'2" and only 13, but he's still my baby.
He loved it and his team won 2nd place for the league. 

 Walt had a great soccer season. Scored at least 2 goals almost every game.

At the Woman's Broadcast, with Daisy and Jane (Hanna was sick) and I was over setup and cleanup with the Stake Primary. Of course Danny was out of town

and my day was crazy busy with games, a baptism and  two sick kids at home as well.

After setup we mostly just listened from the nursery room, but we enjoyed

the refreshments and spending time together.

 Hanna got two moles removed, thanks to Doc. Brandon Reynolds. Danny's best friend.

A couple days later...

17 Years Since the Day I Left on my Mission

17 years seems so close, but so far away!

I got to talk to the Primary last Sunday about my mission.

I teared up way more than I would've liked, but I was truly blessed 

to be able to serve the Taiwanese people. 

I told them about the many blessings and a few funny stories

and realized I forgot to tell them a few struggles I had as well.

When I look back on my mission the blessings out weigh the struggles 

and it's so much easier to see how much the Lord has blessed me 

from serving for such a short time in my life.
