Reverence is more than just quietly sleeping...

Over the last few months we have been trying with all dilligence to get Logan to learn and understand the meaning of reverence during sacrament meeting. We have tried quiet entertainment(dry erase boards, I spy bag, etc.), books, and bribery(which we did today with leftover Halloween candy). Last week and this week I must admit he has done very well, I am quite proud. However, during the last talk he was getting a bit restless. He turned around in the pew and began looking at the people in the row behind us. Then he said to me rather loud and overconfidently, "Mom, someone is sleeping in church." Not a half a second later he then said, "Oh, nevermind he's awake now!" My quess is that the gentleman heard that little comment and decided rather than continue his slumber he better wake up and show the little man he was paying attention to the speaker. It was all I could do to keep from laughing and further embarassing the man behind us.

Volleyball


Can I just say how much I love to play volleyball. Last night was the "All Stars" volleyball tournament at the stake center. I played competitive volleyball for 3 1/2hours. It was so fun!! I can barely walk today, but it was so totally worth it.

Happy Howl-o-ween!!!

We had a great day yesterday. Before we headed out we wanted to get some cute pictures of the boys. The only way we could get Ben to cooperate was to bribe him. The picture taking was much easier after he got his lolipop. We loaded up our "Dallas Cowboys" and headed out around 6:30. It was still very light as we trick-or-treated. We went up and down one street and then made our way to the church's trunk-or-treat. Logan had a blast running around the parking lot filling up his candy bag. On our way home Wes grabbed a pizza and we went home threw the kids into the tub, tucked them into bed, and watched a scarey movie while we stuffed our faces with pizza and candy. It was fun!
