Emily got Married

Well, it happened!

On November 24th Emily and Josh got married.

 It was a beautiful day, and everything was perfect.

 They were sealed in the Ogden temple.

 I thought Jaycee was going to be Emily's shadow, nope it was Bensen.  He wanted her to hold him all day. He walked around saying "Want Emily."

 They had a really nice luncheon at the church, then their reception was at the Union Station. It was all so nice. They had hot chocolate and scones. Yum.

 Bensen wanted to be with Emily at the reception also.  He even stood in line with her for a little bit. Crazy boy.

 The kids had fun helping clean up the dishes and watching the present table.  They really loved the dancing at the end.  We had a great time.

November Shenanigans

Emily had a few bridal showers in the last couple of weeks.  

 The first one was at her house.  She got so much great stuff! Everything she opened I was like, I don't have that, or I need that.

The next weekend she had her friend shower at our house.

These girls know how to party. :) 

 He last shower was the next weekend at Josh's Aunts house.  I seriously cant believe how much stuff they got, and they still have there wedding to come!

Jaycee had a fun time dressing Bensen up.

 Wesley even got in on the fun.

 Everyone will be happy when Jaycee has a little sister to dress up and be girly with.

 Wesley made this Indian costume at school.

 Isn't he the cutest little Indian?

We are excited for the upcoming wedding, and Thanksgiving.

New Baby's gender

Today we went to the doctor and found out if we are having a boy or a girl.  Here is a little snip of the kids reaction to the news.

90th Birthday!

Today is Grandma Allreds 90th Birthday!

 Grandpa Allred turned 90 earlier this year, I was in Hawaii, so I didn't get to go to his party.

 Grandma was always quilting. This is a quilt she made of all the flags of all the counties that her and Grandpa have been too...pretty amazing!

My Grandma taught me how to sew, and play Majong. She's always in a good mood. I always loved going to her house, especially on Christmas Eve.  We would always stop there on our way to Lake Powell and sleepover. I even got to go stay over for a couple of weekends. That's when Grandma taught me to sew.

I feel so blessed to have both my Grandparents in my life. They are so amazing, such good examples to me and my kids.

Happy Halloween!

Finally! 

 Grandma LouLou usually does her Halloween party on Halloween, this year was no different, except that Miriam and Quentin were here this year!

 The kids have never had Halloween with them before so they loved it.

We almost got a picture of all the Borgstrom cousins, we are missing Marlee this year.

 For the party we had pizza and put together a foam puzzle of sorts. 

 The kids, and some adult, got to throw darts at balloons and win prizes. They also played the doughnut game.

 Then they went Trick or Treating.  I was going to go answer the door at my house, but there were hardly any kids by my house. So I took my candy over to my Moms and she handed it out for me.  She always has a lot of trick or treaters.

 The kids got sooo much candy this year!

 They even had several people give them full size candy bars.

 Bensen didn't last as long as the older kids, but he still made out with a lot of candy!

I always love Halloween even though I was sick this year I still had a lot of fun.

Until next year, Happy Halloween!
