October

Aaron had the day off on Monday for Columbus Day! It's always a treat when he's home. It was cold and snowy. He made us cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then we went to Sam's to stock up on food storage. We spent the rest of the day at home working on house projects and the boys played in the snow. 

I forgot to post this pic last week from Aaron's fancy award's dinner. I love when he wears this uniform!

The boys got hair cuts this week. I usually cut it, but decided to have it done better than I can do so Eli looked sharp for his primary program!

The weather was so nice on Wednesday so we ran to the park so I could take some fall pictures of the boys. Austin snapped this baby bump picture of me. :)

I need to load the pictures onto my computer. I was able to get a few great shots!!

And the boys want to dress up like their dad again for Halloween. The costumes still fit! Easy enough!

On Friday we helped our friends set up for a garage sale where the money was given to hurricane victims. 

And I just finished reading this book this week. I loved it so much.

Aaron had a football game on Saturday so he worked all day. The boys and I went to the library and a baptism. At the baptism, I felt like the boys were loud and I wondered why I went alone and pregnant and tired. I cried during "I am a Child of God" and thought about the book I just read - I feel like I'm literally wrestling my little boys at times to get them ready for church or a baptism, but I know it's worth it.

And today Eli participated in his first primary program! It was so great! His line: "I can choose the right by obeying my parents." He kept giving Aaron and me a thumbs up. :) Austin kept asking when it was over because he wanted to see Eli. Eli made this crown in sunbeams and he's been wearing it all day. I'm grateful for primary teachers that put so much time and effort into teaching children.

I ran to choir practice today and came home to everyone asleep. 

And here is a picture of the primary children in Cerri - one of my favorite places where I served in Argentina. I love how the children are all matching!

And this is a sweet couple my companion and I helped get married. He was baptized when he was 17, but then stopped going to church. They were living together and we taught her the lessons, helped them get married, and then he baptized his wife!! It was a special time on my mission. And now they have 2 boys and are getting ready to have another one! :) She's in the primary presidency and today was their primary program as well.
