Because we couldn't have a normal primary program we sent kits home with each family to have their own family program. Brooks really enjoyed our program and participated in recalling all the things we learned this year while reading the Book of Mormon. We even built our own temples!





I made my favorite rolls (Lion House Rolls) in preparation for making them for Thanksgiving. Definitely not something I wanted to mess up!

We had our last day at Mrs. Stacy's for the winter. She ended the class by letting the kids ride on her horse. While Brooks wasn't on the horse he was trying to ride the goat, "Mom can I ride this?" "No!" "Why not?" Haha well I guess you'll just have to try and find out goats don't like to be ridden. Brooks wasn't scared of the horse and was so excited to ride it.

Entertaining Carson in the car while we wait for his flu shot.

For Thanksgiving week we drove up to Missouri and spent some time at Dan's parents' house. We had an awesome week with family and had so much fun. It was quite the adventure getting there because Carson doesn't enjoy being strapped into his car seat. So I brought ALL the snacks and ALL the toys and we powered through. But it was worth it for what a great week we had. We read lots of books, played with trains, ate treats, did puzzles, christmas pjs, went to a fun bounce house, a huge park, played pickleball. Thanksgiving dinner was so delicious and after the kids were in bed every night we stayed up and played games.
















My rolls turned out how I had hoped!

Our drive home was a little bit better than the drive there but still a bit rough for Carson. We powered through and I jumped in the backseat for the last hour and we survived!

Brooks had quite the monster truck collection

I like to have all my Christmas shopping done on or before Black Friday so this is our doorstep daily for a bit after. Feels so good to get it done though!

We put up Christmas right away and it's been so fun. Carson has had a ball of a time pulling off all the ornaments and hiding under the tree. I love the Christmas season and I'm so excited to celebrate all month long with my family!

We had a lot going on this weekend! Some good. Some bad. I woke up to this Friday the morning What a great way to start a Friday morning without work! I seriously have the kindest man ever. He's so thoughtful After he got out of class and before I had class we snuck in a last minute temple session . Who knew it would be so packed on a Friday mid day! I rushed (because I hate being late) but it was so worth it once you get there and just feel peace . That evening after classes and homework, we drove down to Idaho Falls for a family BBQ the evening before Logan and Amanda got married . The BBQ was great and I loved seeing all my family and meeting some of Amanda's family. I even got a picture with Sister Bullock :) All while this was happening my parents were supposed to be making the trip to IF and be there for the BBQ. I had heard briefly from my mom that Dad wasn't able to get off work and that they would be late. Then it got the point they wou

This is Important

So I've given this a lot of thought and with some advice from Dan the man, we've decided to go ahead and make our blog private from now on. This means that only those whose emails are on my readers list can view it. WHY Lately I've been thinking about the publicity and the openness of the internet and I don't want my security and my family's security to be a worry because the things I post on my blog. I realized that the reason I am blogging is; 1) For me as a journal and to record and read back on fun memories and 2) So family and friends can stay in contact and feel like we're apart of each other's lives even when we're far apart. Although the page views of all my Facebook friends and others reading my blog has been really nice (I'll admit, I like the numbers) I've realized that I enjoy some privacy more. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? This means that if you would like to continue reading our blog that I am going to need your email address

  Love My boys! Nate's face! Brooks being silly Another round of sickness in our house. Brooks always seems to get a headache, spike a fever, pass out somewhere and wake up later feeling most of the way better. This time we ended up getting cold symptoms afterwards. When I got sick I was tested and whatever it is it's not covid. Dan got it last and was sick into February. It was lingering so he tested again and it was again negative. So whatever we had was mild, still not fun and stuck around forever. We have this cute bible book about Noah's ark. Carson starts looking at it and pointing to Noah says, "Santa Claus!" Oh. yes I can see how you think that haha. So we kept telling him no, it's Noah. He points to Noah's wife and says, "Mama!" hahaha so I'm either Noah's wife (they look very old in the book) or Mrs. Claus. Not sure whether to be offended or not haha! We sold our small freezer and upgraded to this beauty! I love it! I love being
