Break in

Last Wednesday when I came home from work and from picking up Jared and Gwen our front door looked like this.

Someone kicked in our front door and totally messed up our bedroom looking for money(I did not get a picture of the bedroom, however the police did). Well, we don't keep loads of cash in our house so they ended up taking only about $40 in cash. They also took about 30 DVDs and Ben's passport. Thankfully they did not take anything else.

Nate's Talent

Nate called me down the other day while he was practicing so I could watch him do the song he was working on.

Students of the Month

Both Bonnie and Jared were Student of the Month for their classes for the month of September. The school has an assembly and gives all the kids a certificate. The teachers write on the back why they chose them for student of the Month. It was pretty cool. Bonnie's teacher was gone so I was not able to get a picture of her with Mrs. Baxter.

Jared with Miss Garner

Fieldtrip

Gwen took her first field trip on Friday the 3rd. They went to the Wildlife Zoo because they just finished a section on animals. Daddy was able to take the day off work so he could go too.

With the whole class and Miss Tracy and Miss Megan.

Trading hats with Daddy.

Posing with the meerkat.

The Wildlife zoo has a place to feed the giraffes. It is pretty cool because the giraffes come right up to you and stick out their tongues and you just pour your pellets onto their tongues.

Missing Teeth and a Birthday

Over the last week and a half Jared has pulled out is two bottom teeth all by himself. He was so thrilled to be able to have them out before his 6th birthday. The second one he pulled out during the second session of General Conference on Saturday, after which he announced, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. Jared's birthday was Sunday the 5th and he thought having it on General Conference weekend was pretty cool because it is like a long birthday party with lots of treats.

Showing off the missing teeth.


Pretty much the coolest birthday present EVER!!

Obviously the present was cooler than the cake.
