October 2014

Highlights from this month:

We rode bikes. Rachel rode in the bike trailer with Jessica.

We had our last day of gymnastics so daddy came to watch.  Then we went out to lunch and dance and soccer.

We went to the Phoenix Temple Open House.  I’m so glad my girls were able to experience a temple open house.  Andrea loved the baptismal font.

We had General Conference and decorated the house for Halloween.

Cami flew in to help me with my Bells Palsy.  She did the girls’ hair, read them books, and played with them.

We went to Discovery Park by the temple with Cami.

We went to the Gilbert Temple with Cami and then went to Tempe Town Lakes and rode paddle boats.

We also had Organ Stop Pizza with Cami and Ben and Tues and their girls.

Mom and Dad got to go to a Sun’s game.

We went to Toucson and got to see the Curtises.  It was so nice to see them.

Andrea did Zumba with mom.

Rachel loves to jump off of everything.

We had a Plan of Salvation FHE lesson and daddy drew it. 

Rachel shoved a little ball inside her ear just as the girls were heading to bed, but I got it out with tweezers.

Jessica likes Graham crackers.

Andrea scored 3 goals at soccer.  The Curtis kids came and played for 2 hours.

Rachel can almost write all of her name.

Andrea won the gunny sack race at our neighborhood party.

Spencer had his Eagle Court of Honor.

FHE activity blind folding the girls and trying to listen to the Holy Ghost.

The girls were not good at JoAnn's today.  They kept running away from me, so they had to sit in time out for 10 minutes.  Rachel also broke salsa and landed on Jessica.

Rachel grabbed onto the garage door as it was going up while I was getting Jessica into the car.  Andrea yelled, "Mom, Rachel." and I rushed over and grabbed her just in time before the door was rounding the corner on it's way up.

Andrea learned Thriller with mom and performed with me at the ward Halloween Party.

We made the coolest frozen costumes.  Andrea: Elsa, Rachel: Anna, Dad: Kristoff, Mom: Sven, and Jessica: Olaf.  We loved it so much we put several pictures!
