Williamson Farm!

I started canning three years ago, it's definitely a time consuming task BUT the end result is well worth it. Having two kids, apple sauce has been a favorite when it comes to canning. I've always bought my apples from Williamson Farm outside of Marsing, Idaho. And this year was no different, or so I thought. We arrived as a family to get our apples and realized their prices had doubled, therefore we came home empty handed. Next year we will definitely call before making the trip out. Aside from having no luck at Williamson Farm this year we always have fun taking pictures of the kids. We ended up getting our apples from the church farm, and it turned out to be less expensive than what I'm used to paying, yeah.

Take Steps for Crohn's and Colitis

My good friend Tonya for several years has volunteered for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. This year there was a walk to support raising awareness, and help find a cure. Tonya sent out an invite weeks before, and we of course went to support. We had a great time walking for a good cause with some great friends. The kids had a blast too, especially Kyra sporting her blue boa. Thanks Tonya for a fun afternoon.

Kyra goes to the Movies...

Last night Bryce and I took Kyra to her very first movie in the theater. We've been patiently waiting for Brave to go to the cheap theater. Although it seemed like forever, it was well worth the wait. Kyra LOVED every minute experiencing a movie on the big screen. She loved the popcorn too, yummy! We all had a great time together.

Big Al's!

Monday for Family Home Evening we went to Big Al's with Bryce's cousin Will and his family, we had a great time. It's a fun place for ALL ages. Depending on what your in the mood for, there is something for everyone. We chose to spend all of our time in the arcade. We played lots of games. After we cashed in our tickets for prizes. Kyra chose a Princess crown, and the rest of her tickets were hoarded by me to buy a bunch of Frooties [small flavored tootsies]. Yummy! My camera died as I was taking a picture of all the kids together, stink. Overall we had a blast and look forward to going back for a game or two of bowling.

Miles starts Nursery!

My little Miles is now in Nursery, I can't believe he is 18 months old, crazy! Miles was instantly clingy the moment we walked into class, it's like he knew I was going to leave. I stayed in there for about five minutes waiting for the opportunity to escape. He soon found a toy to play with, and that was the perfect time to leave. I never in a million years expected Miles to stay in Nursery the WHOLE two hours, BUT he did. Yeah! I came to pick him up and the scoop was he was emotional off and on the entire time and wanted to be held a lot BUT made it through just fine. I think within a months time he will be loving Nursery. I LOVE that his Nursery leaders did not bring him to me because he cried for 2+ minutes. I always think that is so silly when leaders do that. As long as he does not upset another kid while crying they will keep him in there to get used to his new surroundings. That is the only way [in my opinion] to get an 18 month old to go to Nursery and stay in Nursery. I understand that each kiddo is different for sure, but I personally like their approach. I hope each week gets better and better as I'm sure it will.

During Relief Society, my friend Alli went out with her baby to walk the halls, she decided to peek in on the kids in Nursery. She came back and told me Miles was whimpering, but Kyra immediately comforted him by giving him hugs. I was thrilled Kyra was looking out for her little brother.

We love you Miles, we are so proud of you!
