pun-kins!

today was a super busy day. we celebrated cullan's birthday a day early. the boys had a makeup karate class this morning, we ran errands, and went to go pick out some pumpkins. (we also cleaned like crazy and are trying to get things ready for baby #4! It seems crazy that this was our last weekend as a family of 5!) We had originally planned on going to a big pumpkin patch, however due to time and other circumstances, we just stopped at a cute family pumpkin stand on the side of the road. the kids really enjoyed it. they had piles of pumpkins and gourds all around with wagons the kids could play with.
cullan found his pumpkin pretty quickly.
briea found a pumpkin about half her size that she really wanted, however we decided that it would be better if we found one that was more her size!
kael was doing some exercising....gourds works as good weights. ;0)
wagon time. the kids had fun pulling each other around and putting pumpkins in the wagons as well.
kael finally found the pumpkin that he wanted! he was so cute carrying it around.
briea found a winner as well!
Garran and I each picked a pumpkin and even picked a tiny one up for our newest family member! we had a nice time at the pumpkin stand and i look forward to decorating the pumpkins and putting them out front of our house! have i said how much i love fall and all that goes with that. it is DEFINITELY my favorite time of year!

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
