Old School!

As we were sitting down to eat Breakfast, Dex told Dev, "You look like you are dressed from the Old School!" I asked him why, and he said because her collar is over her sweater. Then I asked him how he dresses. He said, " I dress from the New School." So, I said, well how do I dress? He hesitated and said, "uuhh, you dress from the NO SCHOOL!" Ha Ha... kids!


Also, we got a dog today! He is a mini pincher. Grandma Harding got a shi tzu and ever since then my kids have been wanting a dog so bad. We looked on Craig's List and found this one for free! So far it is a good dog...we will see!

America The Beautiful

Last night for family night, Dexter was in charge of the song. He chose to sing "America The Beautiful"
I thought, how appropriate for Election Day! Then as we were having our morning scripture study as a family, the chapter we are on happens to be Alma 46...In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children- ...and he called it the title of liberty and he bowed himself to the earth, and he prayed mightily unto his God for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren, so long as there should a band of Christians remain to possess the land."
Alma 48:17 " Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever' yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.

How neat that we could teach our children these principles today of all days!

Halloween!

My plan was to do the Wizard of Oz! I love when people do themes! Devyn was so excited to be Dorothy! My mother in-law gave Kam a fairy costume that was perfect for a Glinda the good witch! Dex didn't want anything to do with it! He wanted to be something scary! So, I gave in. Maggie was still going to be a lion or scare crow, then I AM the wicked witch of the west, so I was going to dress the part! Anyway, things didn't happen that way. My mother in-law also gave Dex some money to buy a costume, and I decided to save money and use a costume I had for the baby. I dressed as a cowgirl and she was a horse, at our ward party, which was the day before Halloween. Then on Halloween, I was so busy, and so hot! I was sick and Maggie was sick, so I decided not to dress up, and Maggie wore the outfit we brought back from China a couple of years ago...so cute!!
So....here are the pics!
