Around Our House

The weather has been perfect for playing outside lately. We are loving it.

  

Tessa and Damon like to make snow angels in all the leaves on the tramp.

  

We went for a walk on the Provo River Trail with Al and her kids over fall break. It is beautiful there!

The kids loved climbing down to the river and throwing rocks into the water.

I had a horrible headache that day, and so Al was super sweet and took Rockwell and Tessa to her house to play while Damon and I went home and napped. 

Paul took Tessa with him to the marching band competition last Saturday. She loved that one-on-one time with Dad. He took her to get a donut afterward, and she loved that too. :)

  

The kids and I painted pumpkins for the porch.

We had Katie and Ben, and Al and Keith over for a fire and games one night. We played Family Feud and laughed so hard we were all crying. 

We all love it when Paul reads books at bedtime. 

He does voices for the characters and we all think it's hilarious.

Rockwell's friend Tayvin came over to play one day after school last week. Eden knocked on the door asking if she could play too. They had so much fun playing all sorts of things inside and outside. Damon was so sad that he couldn't go jump on the tramp with all the big kids. I opened the window for him and the kids were so sweet to keep coming and talking to him so he felt like he wasn't forgotten.  

Damon and I went with Tessa on her field trip to the Art Museum at BYU today. They got to look at some paintings while learning about gratitude, and then do a couple art projects.
