Halloween

The girls looked so cute on Halloween this year! Savannah was a flower, and Allie was Cinderella. We went to our ward Halloween party and Trick or Treating. It was fun to take them out. They loved it!

Beautiful Weather

These pictures were from one of our adventures at the park. They loved it! The weather has been so nice lately. It's fun to see them laughing and be out in the sunshine. 

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a pumpkin patch with the girls. They liked playing with the rocks and dirt more than looking at the pumpkins!

We found rocks there too!

Patrick and the girls.

Savannah wanted the little one. :)

We found a scarecrow too!

Hair Cuts

Allie, Savannah, and Patrick got their hair cuts together at this cute place that is just for kids. I thought it was so cute. They have little cars to get your hair cut in. They play a movie while they're cutting their hair. They even blew bubbles for Savannah because she was crying. It was a really cute place. I loved the bows they put in their hair at the end!

Allie didn't want to smile

I can't believe how much hair Savannah has!

Allie carried her doll the whole time. :)

Sister Missionaries

We had the sister missionaries over for dinner a few weeks ago. I love having the sisters over. They always bring a sweet spirit into our place. I love it!

It reminded me of when the sisters came to our place in Utah last year. I wish I would have written down that experience then. It was such a neat experience.

I was thinking about quitting my job to stay home with my girls. I felt really strongly that I should after I'd watched conference, but I just couldn't do it. I didn't know how things would work out financially if I quit.

So I kept working. I loved my job, and it felt secure.

When the sisters came over one sister shared something with us that I will never forget. She was from Japan.

She shared an experience with us. She said she felt like she should quit her job. She wanted to be in a better environment to help her prepare for her mission. She didn't know how it would work out, but she knew it would. She ended up quitting her job, and things worked out in the end.

She had so much faith. She said sometimes you just need to have faith that things will work out. Trust Heavenly Father, and it will be ok.

I needed to hear those words!

I still didn't have enough courage to quit my job at the time, but I had a little more faith to do so.

I am grateful for the people Heavenly Father puts in our path. I am thankful for the things I've been taught by those people. He always lets me know he's there and very aware of me personally.

Our Place

The best part about our place is definitely the pool. We went swimming almost everyday when we first got here. It was 117 F at the beginning! That was so hot! It's cooled down now. It's in the low 80's. Much better!

The crew. :)

Here is a picture of the girl's room. I had fun decorating it!

I added flowers on the wall to make it more colorful. There is only one small window in the room. So there isn't much light. It is lit with lamps since our place doesn't have lights in the bedrooms. The flowers made it a lot better. 

New Friends

I have met so many awesome new friends through my Beachbody Coaching business. It has been an awesome experience. I've met people from all over the U.S.

This picture was from our 1/2 marathon in Utah on Sept. 8, 2012. I met Cathy and Melissa (the two on the left) through Beachbody. We ran this race together. It was awesome.

Cathy is from Texas. She said I was the first person from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that she's met. She has been reading the bible and searching for something in her life. It was neat to be able to share some things that we believe and bring her to church with me in Utah. I don't know what will happen, but I was grateful for the opportunity to share the gospel.

I love sharing the gospel with people. It is my most prized possession. It has helped me through so many things throughout my life. I don't know where I'd be without it.
