Another week and some more memories!

It has been another week of lots of fun times. The week started last Wednesday when there was a special documentary that aired on Discovery Health of my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Tor and Mandy and their kids. They have conjoined twins and Discovery followed them around for a few months. It was such a real and touching special about what they go through on a daily basis. We were able to spend the last couple of weeks with them and we are so grateful for that and for them. We love you guys!:)This last Thursday evening a bunch of women in my ward and in the neighboring ward got together to celebrate 3 special ladies birthdays that were in October. Jen Simon, Marlo Flower and Deborah Barnard. We went to a restaurant up here on the Ridge called Mike's. There ended up being 23 ladies who showed up. It was a amazing turn out and we all had so much fun. Thanks everyone for making the night such a blast!The Birthday GirlsMarloDeborahJen

Our weekend was fun with Ty and I having a date night on Friday night. Best Buy for a TV stand and dinner. Saturday was errand day. Then we decided to go to the Mount Si pumpkin patch and get a couple of pumpkins to carve. It was a beautiful day and we had a fun time!:)Saturday night we had our good friends the Reynolds and Simons over to hang out. We made a cake and celebrating Ben Reynolds birthday which was the next day. He turned 33! Happy Birthday, BenJAMMIN!:)Yesterday Issy, my mom and I headed out to our great friends sons football game. Jacob is 12 and this is his first year playing football. We had the opportunity to go to a few of his games. We even got to see him score a touchdown and it was his last game yesterday. Our friends Teage and his kids were also there and I got some great pictures of Issy, the Flowers daughter Olivia and Teage and Erin's cute little boys. I love all the leaves and colors of fall and I love football!!Issy and her auntie Heidi who came too!The kids all loved the leaves!Lucas sharing a leaf with IssyHurray for leaves!aren't these two the cutest!Finally, I have been working on Issy's room for over a year now. It has been a work in progress. Last year I painted the bottom of Issy's wall. A couple of months ago I finally painted the top half of her wall and made my own chair rail out of paint. It took me two days to do. I then found all the pictures I wanted for her room. My wonderful friend Sommer took shower curtains that I had gotten to use as drapes and sewed them for me. They turned out amazing! Last night Ty and I put the finishing touches up and it is finally finished! I am so happy with it!:)

Great action shots of playing in the leaves!!!! I feel like I was there!
Issy's room is another huge success :) Nice work. To Sommer as well on the drapes. :)
Did the twins put their hands in their pockets on their own? That's a great pic.
