Who knew???

Recently we were tagged by my cousin Kristi. The topic is "6 things people don't know about you". Hmmmmmm.......................
1.Marley is a pig! She eats as much for a meal as I do sometimes...and several times a day. The exact opposite of Miley.
2. Mason has 3 jobs. He works for Elko county as the Juvenile and Family Court Master. Then he hears the child support cases for a couple of counties south of us. They don't have enough cases for a full-time Court Master, so they asked Mason (who is known far and wide for being a great Hearing Master!) to come down a day or two each month. He also teaches a political science class at the college here.
3. Miley is the greatest pretender. She often makes me be a puppy or baby. We play that we are pirates, racers, and ballerinas all the time. She will take anything (food, toys, sticks, etc) and they become little mommies and daddies. Such a great imagination!
4. Mandy would really like to go back to school and get her Master's degree or Juris Doctorate. It probably won't happen until all the kids are in school though!
5. Mason has only got upset with Mandy once or twice in their whole marriage. He is very, very kind and patient!
6.We love the gospel of Jesus Christ so much! This may not be big news to anyone, but I don't think we express our gratitude for the blessings we receive enough.

Happy Halloween






We had such a great Halloween season this year! A week before Halloween we had a party at our home for a few friends. It was so fun. And then the kids had a blast at the various Halloween parties and trick-or treating. Mason and I had planned on being M & M's, but when we got to the store he saw a whoopee cushion costume that he HAD to have. So ofter pondering long and hard about what I could be that goes with a whoopee cushion, I decided to be an air freshener. It turned out cute and got lots of laughs. Miley was a very adorable princess complete with a "bippity-boppity-boo" (her wand). Marley was a little mustard covered hot dog. They were precious as always!!
