Life is Tough!

It really seems to me that everyone I know right now is having challenges! And not just small ones! It is ever aparent that the last days are upon us. Even though we are having challenges ourselves I feel very blessed, because thus far I havent had a trial that I wondered if I have what it takes to get through it. "knock on wood." There is so many people right now that need our prayers it almost seems that we should spend the entire day on our knees. So for all of you out there who are having a trying time......know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

{Fall is here}

Dalton is playing fall football! His team has only lost 1 game! We are so proud of our Clarkston Cougars!

I love fall and all the things that come along with it. Last Sunday for family night we carved our pumpkins. This is Dalton and Dakota's pumpkins. Preston wanted Mickey mouse this year so I helped him do that. Sierra is the origional one on the right.

Preston was so excited about his Mickey Mouse pumpkin

Carving away!

My littlest Pumpkin

Of course Jeff had to pick the biggest pumpkins we could find.

Fall also means bringing home BIG fish in my house!

Fall Soccer for Dakota

My little man!

It is hard to believe that Parker is now almost 5 months old...jeeesh where does the time go? Parker is growing very tall and skinny! He doesnt sleep through the night, he doesnt eat very well, and sometimes he is just plain cranky...BUT...WE LOVE THIS LITTLE GUY! Parker is an observer. He loves to just sit and watch the other kids and he has now learned that if he fusses he gets mom's attention...smart kid.
Parker seems to be the family favorite and everyone wants to hold him...atleast for a few seconds until they get bored!

{HaPpY 4th Birthday PrEstOn}

Preston turned 4 September 29th. He had a fun birthday party at McDonalds with all of the kids in his sunbeam class. Preston is mr.social butterfly and loves having friends! Some of the things Preston enjoys are his mommy, reece's peanut butter cups, playschool, mcdonalds, church, and crowding his baby brother! Preston has waited all year to blow out these candles!
My big 4 year old!

Birthday Boy!

Viva LAS VEGAS!

This last week I went to Las Vegas with some of my best friends! I forgot my camera so I counted on thier camera work. We had SO much fun. We stayed at the Trump hotel which was so beautiful from the moment you walked in. We did ALOT of walking and ALOT of eating! This picture was taken in what is usually the "rose garden" but it was all decked out for fall. It was so beautiful.

Vegas may be sin city but it has beauty everywhere! It's not our backsides I am referring to in this shot! Look at the ceiling.

An interesting picture to say the least of 3 of us in our hotel room! There is nothing funner than laying around with 4 ladies talking until you fall asleep!

I also got to go visit my sister and my mom in St.George. She watched Parker for me while I was in Las Vegas. It was so nice to see her and her cute family! Thanks for all you did.
