Boise Idaho LDS Temple

  Last May we learned that the Boise Idaho Temple would reopen and that there would be an open house sometime in the fall. As a family we made it a matter of prayer to be able to go and hoped that the open house would be before the snow came.
Our prayers were answered.
The kids were so excited for this opportunity to be able to walk through a temple and see the different rooms. It was like a little piece of heaven for Chris and I to be there with our four little ones, plus extended family. The kids each had their favorite part or room of the temple. Really there just are not words to properly convey the feelings as we were there with our little family. But I can say that it was an amazing and unforgettable experience. One which we will treasure always.

Rhaevyn got her hair straightened by Auntie Leslie..

Here are my pumpkins I decorated. I love it when the candlelight reflects off the glitter.

I made this little blanket for my best friend. She joked that her baby hadn't been born yet, because I had procrastinated on making it. Luckily I got it done just before he was born.:)

Go Tigers!

Yesterday I took the kids to a football game. Our friends' son, Corbin, was playing, so we thought we'd go show our support. It was a lot of fun. They got to go up into the press box because my friend's husband has connections. Myles made a paper flag with the team's colors and would wave it around when Corbin's team had the ball. At half time the kids got to go down on the field and hold the banner that the team runs through.

 Myles, Aeva and Chris went up to the barn that we clean on Friday night for a pumpkin carving contest and apple cider pressing party. They had a great time and did their best to keep warm with the hot apple cider.

It is finally feeling like fall here. We've had rain since Friday.
We are keeping busy and are ready for a little break.

Leaves

Myles wanted a job to earn money.
I told him if he wanted he could rake the leaves off the back patio and I'd pay him twenty-five cents.
"Twenty-five cents!", he said, "I'll do it!" Then he offered two cents to Elsa if she wanted to assist him.
Well, Elsa thought that was just the greatest thing, that Myles would give her two pennies.Aeva chimed in to inform Myles that he was "being underpaid." And in the end Aeva volunteered to go help rake the leaves for free.
