Cutest boys ever!

I have 5 girls...
 

So knowing that they are surrounded by such awesome Young Men like this makes me very, very happy!!

This video was created by our amazing YW leaders... for YW in Excellence last Sunday.  It was a perfect ending to an amazing night.

Thanks Lorinda and Raquel (and whoever else helped with this fabulous video!)  And especially thanks to a great group of Young Men!



And boys you should know that both of my teenage daughters now find our "ward boys"... in their words... "100 times more attractive."  :)

 

 



Halloween Fun...

It's well past Halloween I know...

The snow is falling this morning and I am super happy that it was a toasty warm Halloween this year.

I'm a burned out mother who looked at her little 2 year old this Halloween and thought about how many years I still have to figure out costumes...  parties... trick or treating...

Then my little stinker Tay told me it was OK she'd just take Lydia with her and her kids trick-or-treating so she is not deprived.

The her and "her kids" part was NOT very funny!!

Of course I shouldn't be wishing time away, and I'm really not.

I just used to be that mother that started planning and sewing costumes for my little girls in July, had professional Halloween pics done, etc.

Yeah now I just send them down to see what we have in the "costume closet", tell them to call their friends/cousin to borrow stuff, and visit Halloween city the night before for anything else they need. (and all we needed was a pair of glasses and orange hair spray!) :)

This year we had...

a "not wanting pictures" ladybug.

a 50's girl (but she called herself a poodle girl).

A cute little witch...



Pebbles...

And Waldo...

A pretty cute bunch I think. :)

I spent the day helping with Jadyn and Kenna's class parties.  Then after school we visited the nursing home, Lee's, went to the ward trunk-or-treat...

visited Grandparents, drove kids around to their parties, trick-or-treated a little.  And came home with WAY too much candy!!

A totally successful Halloween!
