High-rise

This is to show a few people what I have been working on in studio this semester.

Tagged

My friend Jennifer from Arkansas tagged me two weeks ago and I never did it. I really don't know why, just never took the time. Then two of my friends Heather and Allison from here tagged me recently. The tags were a little different from each other, but since I didn't do the first one I decided to get on the ball and do this one. So here it goes...

Bragging Rights

I just thought that I would share with everyone that Nick made the top ten in the competition. His professors picked the top ten before the other judges pick the winner. Congrats Nick, we are so proud of you and good luck with the final judging.

Pumpkin Patch

We had a very busy and fun weekend. One of the fun things we did was go to a pumpkin patch. We went with our friends the Roylance family. We had a great time even though it was cold and a little rainy. They had a little straw maze, game area, and lots of places to take cute pictures. They normally let you pick your own pumpkin from the patch, but because it was so muddy, they pick a few and placed them in a less muddy area. Luckily we got our pumpkin picked out just in time before the rain started.

Austin and Brodie, my little scarecrows.

Corbin was such a good sport, even though it was cold he still gave a big smile for the camera.

Austin, Brodie, and Coleman being little monsters.

Picking out the perfect pumpkin to take home.

Time of Year

I have to say I really enjoy this time of year. I love the smell, taste, and sight of Fall. I love the changing colors and the slight temperature change(not freezing, light jacket weather). It is also a great time of year for a little reflection, with the Relief Society Broadcast and General Conference.
I have been thinking a lot lately, when Brandi moved I had a very hard time adjusting without her. I know that sounds crazy, but for the last couple of months she was here we were both without our husbands, and we seriously did something almost everyday together. Anyway it was really hard and I was very sad all time, my poor husband did not know what to do with me. I got to thinking and realized that life must go on. I realized I needed to be more grateful for the things around me, mostly my family. My family is very important and I must live for them, I can't just sit around and be sad all the time.
Anyway, I did not mean for this post to be sad, because I love this time of year.
I really enjoyed the Relief Society Broadcast and Conference. I learned that I do have talents even if I don't think I do. President Uchtdorf gave a wonderful talk during the RSB and I realized that the little things in life are sometimes the most important.
In between conference sessions on Saturday I watched a little show on the BYU channel, I don't remember what it was called, but it had a couple of families on that had children with disabilities. It truly inspired me these parent impressed me so much. I complain about my children on many occasions, but I have no reason to do so. I have 3 beautiful, healthy, and wonderful little boys. They are truly a blessings in my life and Heavenly Father has given them to me to take care of and love. I am grateful for them and after watching that show I know how important it is to love your children no matter what.
I am very grateful for all of my wonderful blessing my Heavenly Father had given me. I love this time of year and for the time of reflection.

Future Firefighters!?!

I took the kids to the fire station the other day. We went with the other moms and kids that we do preschool with. We decided as a part of preschool we would take the kids on a field trip once a month. It was great, they were so nice to take time and show the kids lots of fun things. The kids has a great time, even Brodie had fun.
