Pie

I told Ava that we had to go to Costco to get pumpkin pie and she said, " princesses love to eat pumpkin pie."

Elder Bednar

We were so fortunate to have an apostle of the Lord come to our stake conference today. Elder David A. Bednar gave a compelling and whitty talk. He talked about doing interviews with the media about the church. He said most people don't realize that the Mormons and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints are the same thing. He said most people he talked to wanted to learn more about the church instead of continuing the interview questions. He bore a beautiful testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ and told us he was a witness for the Savior. The spirit was strong and it was wonderful.

Castle

Calvin drew this castle during stake conference and he still managed to tell us what Elder Bednar said in his talk.

Halloween drawing

We have been packing to move and I found this picture that Calvin drew last Halloween and I really like it.

I took Ava to the mall on Saturday and she was running through the halls hollering "I do believe in fairies, I do believe in fairies."

Funny things Ava says

Ava calls Calvin "sweetie" lately. She must have picked up on this cause I call them sweetie sometimes. One day Calvin came running in from outside to go to the bathroom and Ava said "Sweetie is going pee." Lol. When she is sitting in the grocery cart and Calvin is by her she says "sweetie come here and give me a hug." she cracks me up.

Tonight at dinner Lily was helping Ava say the prayer. Ava was doing good repeating what Lily would say and then all of the sudden in the middle of the prayer she said "and enchanted gardens and slides." we were trying hard to hold the laughter in during the prayer.

Love

I love my kids and the way they make me smile everyday.
