A Blessed Day

Alice's blessing was on November 6th at our ward building here in Forney. Joseph did a great job with the blessing and Alice did a great job as well. She was wide awake, content and alert.

























It was so nice that so much family came out. Joseph's parent's had just come off their mission from Nauvoo so they came out. My parents were here from Las Vegas, My brother, Noah and his fiance were here from Lawrence, Kansas along with my other brother Adam and his cute little family from Lawrence as well. Unfortunately, after just hearing about Joseph's Aunt Geneva passing, Joseph's parent's had to leave unexpectedly. We understood but was sad to see them go.



Proud parents.



Trying to get a few last pictures in before I had to go feed Alice. She looks like she's about had it....



Ella wanted one of her with her newest baby sister. And....she's done. ha ha I love this shot.

While everyone was here we decided to have a mini Thanksgiving. My favorite part was just having so many people in our home. It was really nice to be around family.


My cute sister 'n law and her sweet delicious baby Murray.

In the kitchen...Joseph can't seem to contain himself. haha

Halloween!

Halloween was simple but fun. I think because I didn't have a million things to do and places to be. My mom, Carly and I went and ate lunch with Ella at school, ran some errands, I got a nap in (although I wouldn't say it was a nap, I call it more like the rest of my previous night's sleep that I had coming to me.) and then we got ready for trick-or-treating. Carly was Rapunzel, Ella was a Jaguar, Alice was a kitten, I was a momma cat (hence the pink teets. I wish I would've gotten a better picture of me because it was funny.) and Joseph went as a sweaty gym guy...mainly b/c he had just gotten home from working out and that is what he was wearing.


Ella has always loved Jaguars. I think since seeing Diego. She found this leotard at DI at Christmas time and has been waiting all year to finally wear it.



Carly chose this pose I swear. She couldn't WAIT to wear her costume and wig. She walked around all night swaying her arms and curtsying.


Ella was a little timid about knocking on doors. She would only go up to a select few doors. Carly on the other hand was a pro and made sure she hit every house and ran to the next. There was no time to waste. :)

Alice was a kitten but stayed home to help my parents pass out candy.


And now it's November! I can't believe it. It's funny how (at least for me) the year comes and comes and comes and seems like it's a normal pace. Then you have Halloween and the next day I feel like "where did the whole year go?!?" Let the holiday/birthday marathon begin.
