Fall Fun 2015

The Deacons go to Topaz Mountain every year. Chad got to join them this year. They were well prepared with their huge army tent! Spencer got asked to be on an indoor soccer team. He loved playing indoors and it really helped his skills. The boys and I planted a pumpkin patch. We had great intentions of selling them and making a big profit on them. It didn't work. We hardly sold any. The boys each made about 20 bucks, but that was about how much I bought the plants for, so I don't think we will be doing that again. We watched my mom's dog Max while she had knee surgery. We all agreed that we don't like small dogs. Spencer helped me make apple sauce and had so much fun with the Apple Slicer. I am going to be so sad when he doesn't want to help with things like that anymore. Chad and I went to Palm Springs for Spring Break. We rented a car and went on a little hike. It was a great get away.

October 2015-More Fun

Everyone knows that Halloween is my favorite holiday. It's quite ironic that it is my favorite holiday, because I don't like scary things. I hate scary movies and you wouldn't catch me dead at a "real" haunted house. But, I love that we can dress up and be someone else for a day. Everyone knows that I LOVE candy, and I love to knock on doors with my kids and see everyone's decorations and how much fun they have with it. I especially love that there is no gift giving involved! This year Jared was a wounded Rugby player. Landon was Clark Kent, and quite a handsome one I must say. Spencer was a missionary with his friend Camden Bayles. They came up with that one on their own and I thought it was just darling! We went trick or treating in Lindon with some of Landon and Spencer's friends and also made it to a pretty scary haunted house. It was a really fun great night!

October 2015-Grandma Prestwich Passed Away

I don't even know where to begin or how to explain my feelings for my Grandma Prestwich. I love her so much. I am so thankful that she doesn't have to suffer from Alzheimer's anymore. I am thankful for the knowledge of the plan of salvation. I know that she is so happy with Grandpa Prestwich. When I think of my childhood and the memories that I have, most of them are with my Grandma Prestwich. I remember her giving me a bath and wrapping me in a towel and the smell of her towels. I remember her beds and how cozy they were. I remember countless Halloween and Valentine day surprises. I remember going on vacations with her and Grandpa. I remember her taking me to my bridal shoot and sitting next to me in the temple for the first time. I will forever be grateful for her love for me! I will miss her dearly!
