We had a lot of fun at this shoot! We did a lot of walking, but it was beautiful. I think I scared Emily & Steve by asking them to throw their baby in the air, but they had a lot of fun with it. Ben is my Ella’s boyfriend and is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!
I have a new passion. It’s capturing those moments in life that I find absolutely perfect. I realized I had this passion while sitting in the waiting lounge at Olive Garden one day. There was a family that was sitting on a couch across from me and laughing and I wanted to capture that moment for them. I wished so badly that I had a camera at that moment.
I welcome you to journey this journey with me. I love comments on my other blog and the same applies here, so comment away 🙂
Last night we went to bed only to jump out of it 5 minutes later. Ella had thrown up all over. It was horrible. My poor baby girl has the flu and spent all night throwing up. She seems to be feeling better now ~ she hasn’t thrown up in 6 hours!!! I’m exhausted and can’t wait to go to bed tonight.
I was worried about her heart all night, but nothing bad ever happened with it.
Now I just pray that it doesn’t pass on to every single member of our family.
Yeah, um… we had a talk with him about how we’re not supposed to want to be violent with the bullies…. Jayden wants to kill him. Should I be worried??? This kid at school has always messed with Jayden ~ which irritates me to know end, and Jayden was voicing his opinions on the matter here…
The funny thing is this:
If Cole and Jayden see each other in public they get all exicted and say hi to each other. 1st graders are a mystery to me!
The missionaries that gave Gino his discussions were awesome. We really enjoyed them and had many laughs. Of course, the last laugh was on them! Elder Goldhardt is a HUGE Jazz fan ~ I’m hoping all of his friends and family are seeing this…. he’s actually wearing a Kings jersey! GO KINGS!!!
I’m thankful that we had the opportunity to get to know them. The made the discussions fun and I learned so much from them. AND! They got Gino to dunked 🙂
We had fun! Notice the Happy Birthday tablecloth ~ it’s my friends birthday today, and she was up visiting so we had a Happy Birthday pumpkin carving party. Jayden drew his pumpkin’s face. He’s pretty proud of it.
It was Family Home Evening and everyone jumped right into the carving pumpkins before I could give my lesson. So, while everyone was carving I was talking about prayer and asking Jayden questions about prayer ~ Jenise probably thinks we’re a bunch of religious psychos LOL. It’s so important to have that 1 day a week that you’re together as a family. It’s what builds strong families, and I owe it to my family to ensure that it’s done every week…. even if it’s a quickie 🙂
These are the moments that I’m so scared to lose. I don’t want them to grow up and not get excited about sitting around the table together to carve pumpkins. I truly treasure every single moment with these kids. Even the screaming fits I get out of them. Their personalities just shine through them and I love it! I love how they are their own individuals and I hope they stay that way. I don’t want them to change themselves for ANYBODY!

Can’t believe it’s already that time of year! We took the kids to the pumpkin patch yesterday and took lots and lots of REALLY cute pictures. Ella loved it out there. She cried when we left. I think she enjoyed just wandering out in the beautiful country. Since we went on a weekday we weren’t able to do all the fun stuff (pony rides, tractor rides, corn maze…) so, we’ll have to go back this weekend. My friend Jenise was up visiting from Sacramento and she came along with us and picked out a pumpkin to carve too! Hope you enjoy the pictures and video!! BTW ~ I bought the video camera I was raving about a couple days ago, so expect many videos of the kids! Here’s one I took at the pumpkin patch ~ I have some of carving the pumpkins too, but that’ll be in the carving pumpkin post 🙂

Well, the Flylady is in the Master Bedroom this week. Thinking I might need to jump on in and get to working on my Master Bedroom/Office.
I have goals for this week! Here they are:
1) Do a total of 10 loads of laundry (I let it get a little out of control ~ surprise surprise)
2) Get tenant files moved into the new plastic tote filing thingys I bought ~ this way Ella can’t get them.
3) Financial reports done by Friday – I HAVE TO DO THIS!
4) I’m trying to work on my evening routine. It’s important for me to have my living room picked up and my kitchen clean for me to wake up to. My goal for this week is practice doing this EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! I have a much better morning when I do this.
Goals for Jayden:
1) Make sure he practices EVERY SINGLE NIGHT this week on his piano
2) Get his karate notebook put together and work with him on his code of ethics
3) Practice Reading every night
No goals for Ella
Goals for Marriage:
1) Stay positive and don’t nag
and that’s it on Goals for Marriage 🙂 that’s a REALLY hard goal!
Okay ~ so these are the things I’m working on this week – I’ll regroup on Friday and see how I did.
Today my friend Jenise is up from Sacramento visiting. We’re going to the pumpkin patch today and **whispers** we might have some video of it to upload if I get my Flip video camera like I wanted YAY!!!!
