Our little boy is growing up so fast! The last couple of Sundays Jake has gone into Primary for a short while. He's not officially going until January but they're trying to help the kids get used to the change. Jake loved it! In fact when they tried to get him to go back to nursery he started crying! Jeremy was able to snap a picture with his phone while Jake was taking an ornament off a Christmas tree. He's so cute!
I saw this idea on my friend Kristen's blog and I thought it was so cute. Thanksgiving always seems to be one of those holidays that comes and goes before I really have time to think about the things that I'm truly thankful for. I thought these little trees would help our family really think about the things that we're grateful for as well as the things we can do to serve. So far it has been a lot of fun.
Yesterday was Jeremy's 33'rd birthday!! I wanted to let him know how much I love and appreciate him. He does so much for our family and I'm grateful that he is mine. I love that he is always willing to help me out with Jake, cleaning the house, or whatever else I may need. The other day he told me to give him an assignment or chore to do every day after he gets home from work just to help me out! He does everything he can to make me comfortable and happy. He's a wonderful husband, father, and friend! We love you!!!
We'd just said "Amen" and were quietly watching the priesthood walk out to pass the sacrament when Jake asked us in a loud voice "why does dat guy has no hair?" you could hear a pin drop as I whispered an answer in his ear, which was followed by a second question: "how come you're not woosing YOUR hair?" I love that kids have no inhibitions!
After church we picked Jake up from nursery and asked him what he had learned about. He told us that Heavenly Father made the world for us and then began to sing the primary song, "My Heavenly Father Loves Me." Here is his version of it...
Saturday, we were able to go to the BYU football game. Jake loved watching to see if the quarterback would throw the ball or hand it off. He also liked the band and the big cannon. We had a good time and the weather was perfect!
We were able to do a lot of fun things this Halloween...
We made pudding popsicles that Jake liked just a little bit.
We went to the Pumpkin Village with some friends.
Jake and Greyson decided to take off and get lost in the corn maze for a while.
Luckily, they found their way back.
We went and played at a park full of fallen leaves.
And we did lots and lots of trick-or-treating.
We started by getting in costumes and heading over to Jeremy's work where they had trick-or-treating for the kids. They got a ton of candy! I was surprised with how much they gave out.
Jake loved being Indiana Jones this year!!
Kayley was able to spend the day with us too. She was a pretty ballerina.
Looking cool in his costume.
After visiting Jeremy's work we made a few stops to see Grandparents and then we headed over to our neighborhood Trunk-or-Treat. Jake LOVED looking at all of the other kids costumes. He was more interested in doing that than he was collecting candy.

Jake's other cousin Addie came too. She also was a pretty ballerina.
Jake with Jeremy's parents who were kind enough to come down and hand out candy at our trunk while we took Jake around. 
I would say we had a pretty successful Halloween. It's going to be a busy next couple of months. We have Jeremy's birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and then baby. I'm kind of hoping that it all goes by fast. I'm looking forward to doing more fun things as a family, but I'm also really anxious for our baby girl to come. I'm not terribly uncomfortable or anything, but I'm REALLY excited to have her here. I can't wait to have another sweet person join our family!
