Great Sabbath

Today was an eventful day for our family. Payton was ordained a priest in the Aaronic Priesthood and Katrina received her YW Recognition Award (she did it before she turned 14). I'm so proud of my children and who they are becoming! My heart was bursting with joy as I watched each of them today. I'm thankful for their examples to me and their commitment and love towards the gospel. Days like today remind me that they're gonna turn out OK 💞 When Payton was being ordained, he asked Zander and Isaac to stand in for his ordination. It was a powerful feeling to see these young men lay their hands on someone's head for the first time. I'm grateful for these boys and the great priesthood leaders they will one day become.

Halloween

I did the good mom deed and made some cute and amazing cookies, however, we didn't carve pumpkins this year so I think that act negates my measly "making cookies" one. I hate carving pumpkins! This year Payton and Katrina went to a Halloween party and the rest of us, as well as grandparents went to the Lewises. We all contributed to an amazing cafe Rio salad, went trick or treating and then enjoyed some fried donuts! It was a great night 🎃
