the last of the Halloween festivities

Carving pumpkins-
Brynn wasn't afraid to scoop out the goop.
Molly never touches it.  She thinks it's pretty disgusting.  She wanted a pumpkin with a mouth wide open.
Stockton wanted a scary monster face.
These two took a break to play beauty parlor.  Stockton is curling Brynn's hair with a curling iron.

The Halloween Parade at school-
Molly as Hermione.

Trick-or-treating-
The kids were super excited to head out so we waited as long as we could for Dad to get home but ended up starting without him.  
It wasn't that cold but Brynn insisted on gloves.
Justin caught up to us about halfway through.
We had a great time and the kids were so happy to be outside so we ended up being out for longer than we thought.  And the kids sure were happy with all the candy we got-thankfully, not quite as much as last year, but plenty to put smiles on their faces.

  1. Love all the new posts. We just watched that old video of Molly and that was SO cute. What a jewel to have that on video. I think I could enjoy watching her over and over again and she is not even my cute girl so I am sure you guys will love watching that forever. Thanks for sharing (maybe I will start recording my kids more often now).

Brynn @ 18 months

Yes, you read that right.  Brynn is 18 months old!!  She is so fun to have around the house and I haven't done a post devoted just to her for a while, so I thought it was about time. -She loves books!  She was never really that interested until sometime in the past couple months and now she can't get enough.  Sacrament meeting went from impossible to we can make it through...as long as I pack enough books for her.  This is how I often find her at night or during nap time. -She also loves blankets and towels, although she is not particular about which blanket.  She just wants something soft. She wants to walk around all over with them wrapped around her...they don't stay very well and she gets frustrated.  For that reason, I try to keep her blankets out of sight during the day. They come out when it's time to sleep. -Like my other kids, she loves her warm milk!  Actually, she'll drink it cold too. -She is a quiet one, always has ...

Stockton's 16th birthday

Stockton turned 16 on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. We've always told him he has the best day to have a birthday but I don't think he was convinced this year. He was anxious to turn 16 and get his license...it really felt like it took forever to get here. I told Justin that Stockton had to wait so much longer than Molly to get his license and he said, "actually, it took the exact same amount of time", which is factually true, it just felt a lot longer with Molly getting her license September of her sophomore year and Stockton not getting his until after sophomore year, before junior year. But, it did eventually arrive and we did our best to celebrate. We did the family celebration the Sunday before, since it was Girl's Camp that week and Justin, Molly, and Brynn would all be gone on his actual birthday. We had his requested dinner, meatballs, and he opened his presents. He got his favorite treats (nerd clusters, sour patch watermelon, and cow tails) and a new bat th...

all about Stockton

Stockton has loved having his license. He enjoys his independence immensely and does not take it for granted, probably because he had to wait for so long. He takes care of his truck, inside and out. He is always willing to run errands for me or take/pick up his sisters when I need him to. He tries to take back roads whenever he can-good thing you can get most anywhere in Heber on back roads.   This summer his love for cars has really amped up. He said he's always loved cars but he has just been noticing and talking about them more and more. He will point out a "cool car" whenever we are in the car and has a lot of knowledge about all the different features of the different cars. He has a dream car (can't remember which one) but also knows which color he would get in each of the different kinds of sports cars. He has slowly been buying sports car Lego sets with his birthday money, putting them together, and displaying them in his room. It's fun to see how excited h...
