That's living in Utah for ya! We woke up Sunday morning to a beautiful blanket of snow. Alison and Ian both were so excited when we got home from church and they got to play in the snow for a little while. Derek took Ian in before I could get a picture of him eating a snowball - but they had a lot of fun.
I received a new calling Sunday. We have a brand new Relief Society Presidency and I am the Secretary. I will be released as the Nursery Leader (*sniff*) and I am really going to miss that calling and the ladies I served with. I am excited though to be back in Relief Society. It's been a while since I heard a lesson that didn't have to do with loving my hands or animals :0)
Alison is all done with soccer until the Spring. She carved pumpkins in her Kindergarten class today and she really, really loves school and her teacher, Miss Smith. Ian is super grumpy when his teeth come in and we got rid of the binkie - so that adds to the grumpiness. He is learning how to play with other kids and and is climbing over anything that stands still. He took a header off the chair onto the tile floor, busted his lip and bloodied up his nose. His teeth are still intact - thank goodness. I know - I know - Welcome to BOYS!
Derek and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary on the 8th and Derek and the kids celebrated my 34th birthday on the 9th. Derek ordered me the most amazing cheesecake with fresh raspberries folded in, a layer of chocolate mouse and a thick layer of ganash on the top - garnished with fresh raspberries around the edge. Oh - it was sinful! Thanks Alison for sharing your wonderful talent with my family.
I took the kids to Meuller park for some pictures of the changing leaves. I could not get Ian to smile for me. He just loves Aunt Christine (Alison said). It was a nice afternoon up there with the kids. We even found a BIG Bee Hive.
Derek is working hard and Ali, Ian and I are going to St. George this weekend for UEA. We wish Derek could come with us since he is really the one who needs a vacation. Halloween is coming! We're so excited!
