Update

I'm playing catch-up because I have been a complete slacker and haven't blogged about the fun stuff we've been doing. We will start all the way back on Labor Day when the girls went to a Diamondbacks game with their dad. The first picture is from this most recent trip. The second picture is from last year but I couldn't resist posting it because it's one of my favorites.


Can we go now?!

At the beginning of October we spent a night at a cabin with friends and then another night at our ward campout. Luckily for us we had other friends with a cabin close-by so we didn't have to brave the accomodations at Camp LoMia. The girls had a blast playing non-stop for two days. And we really do love the people in our ward so Devon and I had a good time too.





Halloween was busy for us, as always. We had two sets of grandparents, an aunt, and two trunk-or-treats to visit. The girls dressed up as 50's girls this year and loved their poodle skirts.

I love that second pic of the girls at the baseball game. I haven't been to one since I was in Junior High, but I can imagine my expression being pretty similar. By the way, their costumes were beyond cute!

You said I can call you...1am isn't too late is it? Oh jessica...I finally am all caught up on your amazing posts. Fully in tears and my emotions have all been brought to the surface. You express your emotions the same way I would express mine. In every way. I am so happy to know that I'm not alone. I've never said that to anyone. But I guess I've never felt the need. But really...I'M NOT ALONE. Jessica- my heart aches for you. And even though mine has only been a week, I can testify that it doesn't matter what anyone says to you, no one can take the pain away. What a trial for mothers...it is so real. And we understand it though- WE GET IT. We get why Heavenly Father wants us to endure this- think of what you've learned thus far, what I've learned thus far, and WHAT GROWTH. I, like you, havn't experienced a trial that has caused such emotional heart wrenching pain. But how thankful I've been that this has caused me to get on my knees PLENTY MORE which in return has already made me a kinder more loving mother. I can only imagine the blessings and lessons you have gained. Jessica-thank you THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for sharing your testimony and sharing this trial that is so sacred to you. Love you tons and I'm so glad you are in my life.
