Random happenings

The past couple of weeks have been rather eventful...

Boating on the Tingey's boat with friends Jason, and the Hartles.




The girls had fun painting in their skivies while I made a banner for Young Womens




I was in charge of decorating for our YW's Evening of Excellence...it had a "Star" theme and the girls were the "Stars"...with the red carpet and their walk of fame with their handprints on a star that they signed.






Two of Tom's sisters had babies on October 2nd! His Oldest Sister Michelle gave birth at 12:00 to Brielle Grace Lake and his youngest sister Heather gave birth at 12:35 to Hattie Claire Williams. We cant wait to meet them! Congratulations you guys!
This is Brielle

This is Hattie


Elsie's black eye! This happened in a matter of seconds...we had just gotten back from a walk and I pulled the stroller into the garage and then walked to the driveway to get a couple toys off the ground that I needed to bring in and not 10 seconds went by and I heard a loud thud and screaming. Elsie climbed up onto the top handle area of the stroller and it tipped over and it shot her down to the cement floor. I immediately grabbed her and checked her mouth for any blood and then the bruising and goose egg appeared on her forehead...her left eye was losing focus on me and in just a matter of minutes her eye started swelling. This is honestly the first time I have been scared for one of my kids. I held Elsie close as Tom administered to her and we just cradled her until she fell asleep in my arms. To make matters worse...the next day our good old Elsie was back but having one eye closed made her clumsy as ever and long story short...she fell down our stairs giving herself and new goose egg and small cut on her forehead and this only made the swollen eye even more so. So we've been getting some pretty odd looks as we probably look like the most horrible parents in the world, and I guess we deserve that because it definitely taught me to take those precautions to make sure my kids are safe. Her eye today is a lovely eggplant purple:( It is so sad!


Elsie's new thing of laying down while coloring...this new habit was formed after watching her way cool sister Adelyn do this! Everything Adelyn does...Elsie has to do. Most of the time Adelyn is a good sport about this.

Sisters


Conference weekend...we had Zac, Hil, Bridger, and Carson come and stay over! We had dinner at Wingers, Tom and Zac went to Priesthood session, we let the kids play and play, the adults got a good game of Trains in, Hil and I made a pair of earings, we watched Iron Man and the next day we had a yummy breakfast and watched conference....Els looks like quite the bruiser!



This afternoon we decided to go for a drive up Bountiful canyon up and over the top and down Farmington Canyon. We stopped at the top and went for a great little hike...hit some golf balls...and got out our camping chairs and just enjoyed the crisp fall weather.
