Like Mommy

The boys came running upstairs today looking "like Mommy"   It gave us a good laugh :)

Craters of the Moon

We took a mini-vacation to Craters of the Moon.  I was really impressed by the caves.  The boys had a great time exploring the caves.

The caves were amazing. 

Pickin' Pumpkins

We had fun picking pumpkins this year.  We went to a local farm where they let you go out in the field and cut your pumpkin right off the vine.  The boys loved the wagon ride.

Aaron's Temple Sealing!

We had the opportunity to go to the Bountiful Temple and be sealed for time and eternity to our adopted son Aaron.  The ceremony was beautiful.  Aaron was full of smiles.  We feel so blessed to have Aaron in our eternal family.

Here are some pictures from after the ceremony:

Clint's parents were able to fly in from North Carolina.  We were so happy they could be with us.

Gettin ready for baby

We recently bought baby's crib. I was in meetings all day today, and when I got home Clint had surprised me by assembling the crib! For some reason having the crib set up makes it all feel more real. In just a few short months baby will be here.  We can't wait!!!

Playdough...gone wrong!

So I decided to attempt making play-dough from scratch.  I thought it would be fun to let the boys help me color the dough.  I didn't have any cream of tarter, so I found a recipe online that didn't require cream of tarter.  It was a bad recipe!!  The dough didn't set up enough and it was a mess.  Plus our 3yr foster son had dry hands and I didn't realize it.  Within a minute of playing he started complaining that his hands hurt from the salt!!  Needless to say, play-dough time was quickly over.  What a fun little mess!
