YES! They really are poisonous!

The other night while we were at our friends house the kids came in holding some mushrooms that they had picked. Of course we told them the same thing that our parents told us when we picked the forbidden mushrooms, "Put those down, they are poisonous and will make you very sick if you eat them". That night, about an hour after we got home, Isaac started complaining that his stomach hurt. Well sure enough he started throwing up repeatedly until about 4:30 am. In between his head being shoved in a bowl I asked him if he had eaten any of those yucky mushrooms. His reply was, "No, I just ate the yummy ones". So obviously we drew our own conclusions as to why he was sick. The hard part was knowing if he ate them before he was told not to, or after-in that case I wouldn't have much sympathy! Who knows, but one thing is for sure, I guarantee he won't eat them again! It was a long night! He's lucky he is such a cute, nice boy and we love him no matter what trouble he finds himself in!

Primary Program

This is a video of Ally saying her part for the primary program. She memorized it so well and was so cute as she stood up and said it with all the confidence in the world. We were so proud! You may need to turn your volume up!!

Viva La Lucha Libre!

Isaac has found a new favorite pastime. He loves to put on his Nacho Libre mask and wrestle his dad. It is quite a hilarious sight!! He takes it very seriously. Maybe one day he'll be good enough to go "Pro"-every parents dream!-We are so proud!

Move over David Beckham!

Today was Ally's first soccer game! She looked so cute in her uniform and did such a good job! Her team name is the "Incredibles" and her dad is the assistant coach (poor guy came to her game right from a 30 hour shift!). Last night she said that she was just so scared that her team wasn't going to win their game. So of course we had to talk about how it doesn't matter if you win, just as long as you try your hardest. Her prayers were precious as she asked that her team try their hardest. She ran really hard but was disappointed that she didn't score a goal-but was out there and tried hard! She's come a long way since the first practice and we are so proud of her! It was fun to watch-she is so sweet!

Let's Get This Party Started!!

Just about every day we have to turn on loud music and boogie. This is just a quick video of the boys dancing one morning while Ally was at school. Austin usually breaks it down, but when I got the camera out, he all of a sudden got a shy streak. Hopefully I can catch him sometime-it's pretty funny.

Bring on the Kilts and Bagpipes!

Well, Jonathan's parents just received their mission call. They'll be on their way to Edinburgh, Scotland. They enter the Missionary Training Center on November 26th. We are so very excited for them, but will miss them a ton!
