Halloween Party!

We had such a great time at the Halloween Party!! And there was a great turn out!! Our branch doesn't have to many people.. But luckily there are quite a few kids!! So it was so much fun to get to see them all dressed up!! I think all the kids costumes were so cute! We played lots of games.. Like bobbing for apples! (Jonathon did a great job!) We had a marshmallow eating contest.. Alexis won her challenge!! I didn't know she was such a great marshmallow eater!! I on the other hand did not do so good.. Every time I'd go to get another marshmallow I gagged!! It was disgusting..

There was a balloon popping contest for the kids.. And they also had a bean bag toss!! They even did the fishing game.. and got some cool prizes!! Everyone had a great time.. Thanks Sheleen, Justin, and Aria for having us!

* "That's perfectly fine."

While she was going potty... She said "I pushed the poop out!"
*Don't worry about me!

"Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys, or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life SO much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment, or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom."
