Happy Halloween!

Here is our family picture. Jason designed the Cornwall Zoo logo. I thought it was fantastic! We sure love our cute little zoo animals!

We hope you all have a happy and safe Halloween night!!

Paisley's birthday and our fun week

Okay get ready for a long post. This week has been very fun but very busy. We first start out with Jarom being as cute as can be!Monday night we carved our pumpkin for FHE. It was a lot of fun. We went with a simple design this year since we had a couple nights of frost and made our pumpkin a little bit squishy.

On Tuesday the kids were able to wear their costumes to dance if they wanted, so Paisley decided she wanted too. She makes for a cute leopard!

Wednesday night was our ward party. We all got dressed up for the occassion but we unfortunately didn't think to take a picture since Jason and I were in charge of the activity we were a little busy doing other things. We are going to put on the costumes again so we can get a family shot. (SPOILER ALERT: since you have seen the kids costumes, this years theme was the zoo. Jason and I were zoo keepers, Paisley was a leopard and Jarom a giraffe.)

This is Paisley with her best friend Maisie at the ward halloween party.

Today Paisley had a great birthday. She loved all the letters and phone calls and especially all the sing to her. She was very happy to turn 4 and now considers herself to be "big". Here she is with her pile of presents.

She was much more than thrilled to get a lot of princess things for her birthday including a lot of dress up things!

Later in the evening our town had the annual trick or treat on main street and town carnival at the community building. Before heading to the festivities we went to Papa's favorite place (Braums) for ice cream!

Despite the rain this town party's hard for Halloween. We went trick or treating to all the stores even in the rain.

The carnival was a blast! Paisley loved all the games.

Paisley got some cute new jammies for her birthday and decided to wear them to bed tonight!

After a long day of celebration we came home to sing "Happy Birthday" and eat her princess cake. After the huge amounts of ice cream we had consumed earlier we all had very tiny pieces.

And I just wanted to show off how cute Jarom is in his "I love my mummy" outfit!

We've had a great week, with lots of fun. We are so happy to have Nana and Papa here. Paisley had a fabulous birthday, and we are excited to see how year 4 goes!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAIME!!

James is 23 years OLD today!! Which makes Lewis and I even OLDER! Regardless, we are hoping your birthday was wonderful, even though there is absolutly NO family around to help you celebrate. We are there is spirit! Hugs kiddo.

Happby Belated Birthday to Leslee!

Sure hope your day was special and that you had some cake!

Corn Maze

Last Saturday we drove out to the middle of no where and went some a corn maze. It was pretty fun. After the maze they had a fun slide Paisley and Jason went down and then a hay ride. We had a great Autumn day!

Volleyball

So, last night we had our first Intramural Volleyball Match. We are called the Persuaders which has roots t Economics (advertising). We lost both matches, but learned some valuable insights into the depth of our team. During the first match, I injured my right knee. I was going for a dig and came down hard on my right knee just inside next to the patella. I stayed out about two rallies and then went back in. I have knee pads and figured I need to turn them inside. I can walk, but I am going to hold off on the running till Thursday. Thursday I will be playing Ultimate with a friend. I have a half-marathon in November and I am SUPEREXCITED! I have not had a race in a long time. So, the lesson we can draw from this is, if you are going to play volleyball, ask yourself, "Self, is this more important than running?" The answer is NO! RUNNING FOR LIFE!

Open for Business

Hey Family! I am starting a new project and if there are no objections I'm going to advertise my project on this blog. I am going to try and run an Etsy Store and sell the bags I have been making. The name of my Etsy store is The Purse Place (you can click on that to go to the store). My goal is to be able to sell a couple bags each month and bring in a little bit of money. Plus it is a fun hobby. I'm going to add a little widget with my Etsy store products that will be on the sidebar. It shouldn't both anyone or anything. The way for me to be successful is by promoting my store so by placing the widget on the blog it will help me promote it. If you look on the right sidebar under our blog roll there will be a couple pictures of what is for sale in my store. If you click on it, it will take you to my store, feel free to browse. Every night I work on bags, so there will be a lot of new inventory coming. Plus if you ever have friends fishing for gift ideas or such, if you think of it you can send them to my store for a bag! :) Thanks for your support!
