garage doors





That's is right we now have garage doors. We have been making such progress. We are now all closed in except for the, one bundle of shingle that we ran short. but here is a look at the new garage doors.

RYKER

Ryker can be so silly sometimes. This child is what completed us. He is so special. I love that he wants to be with me all the time. I just laugh and laugh all day long. Notice that the too big shoes are on the wrong feet I just loved this I thought that was so funny!












Doesn't he look so comfy! he is such a big boy in such a little body. OH YEAH that is right he is wearing underwear! One day out of the blue he told me wear wearwears mom. I asked him, you want to wear underwear and he said YES. so he is potty training. I was not even going to attempt until we were in our house but when they are ready they are ready, right.




Primary

I am so grateful for Primary!

I am a convert as most know and I just love that my kids get to go to primary. I was called by a sister in the ward to sub for her for the last couple weeks. I have one week to go, and I am absolutely loving it. I have had the best time with my little 5 year old and I would love to be able to keep teaching in the primary. I think that it is so great. I love that I LEARN! just in the last two weeks I have learned about two different scripture stories. What I wonderful program!

This last week we are starting with the November lessons and in Sharing time we are talking about being grateful. Something that I have recently been very in tune to. It was such a great lesson and I am grateful for everything that I have and everything that I have. Which brings me to why I am grateful for living in the CAMPER. I love that I get to live here in this spot, I am grateful that we all live together and that we are such a happy family learning and working together. I am grateful for it ALL. Those are just a few of the things I could go on and on.

In fact, for Family Home Evening tonight we are going to compile a list of 100 things that we are grateful for and you know I think that we could get more than that and I don't think that it will take us long either.

We are so LUCKY

I know that I post about this alot but everytime that we do something new at our new house I love that we live here and I feel so lucky to have the oppertunity to live in such a wonderful place! I asked Brian "Who can do this?"

We had a camp fire, looked out to the university and the temple had stars in the sky, roasted marshmellows, and the kids jumped on the tramp!

What do you do???

The weather in Logan has already been pretty chilly outside on some days. We had a whole week that was in the 30's! So what do you you when it is too cold to go to the park and let your kids play.

YOU GO TO WALMART


AND YOU GO TO PETSMART



This ended up being a really fun time. The kids loved looking at all the pets at petsmart and I am luckey that I did not end up with anything!:-)

Update on the HOUSE





Just a quick update on how we are coming on the house. We have the entire outside framed, Brian is working on the roof, the plumbing rough is in and the electric is half done and we now have stairs to get from the garage to the house! We are so excited!!! I have been working on all the interior finishes and that has been a ton of fun, but hard too. I just don"t know what I want.

Vacation Time!

At the end of September, we were all able to go on vacation. While brian got to go to Alaska, me and the boys were able to spend the week in Washington with my mom and sister! We had such a great time. Porter and Ryker has a wonderful time playing all day with their cousin Brogan while they waited for Vylett to get home from school. It was the best week. Every time we get together with them because it is not very often is is so great to see the kids grow together they just become better and better friends, they play so good together. It is way fun to watch this change. It is not only with the cousins though it is also with my mom and dad. Papa Walla and Grandma Ella, since Ryker has been well it is amazing how much he loves them he is so excited to see them and he talks about them all the time.

It was way cute, we left Utah on Saturday afternoon so we got there very late Saturday night and when we got their my parents were still at an event they were attending and we walked in the house. while Ryker was walking around looking for Ella he is shouting "Wewa not hear yet" with his hands on his hip and a very disappointed look on his face. It was so cute so see how much he loves them.




Brian had my camera over this week so I did not get any pictures of us but He did take some great pictures of Alaska. He had a great time he was able to actually take a break and it was even more fun because their was a huge group that went a bunch of friend that live here in Logan and also my dad. They caught some fish but I think that my dad had the best luck when he was paired with a fisherman that loves to fish as much as he does, Matt Seamons! The two of them would go out before breakfast and come in after dinner they would fish for hours straight with out coming in for food. Just to say that is not the way Brian fishes, or would call a vacation!


These are picture of in the boat Brian on top and Papa Walla on bottom


This is where they stayed

And this is the view they had!
