October 2016--week 1--quilts, conference, camping, Lindsey Marvelous Maverick

It's FALL and it's been unseasonably warm.  A slight cold front finally came through and the children were able to pull out their grandma quilts and were so excited.
It's a much anticipated time of year because it's General Conference weekend and as is tradition, we make cinnamon rolls, and we made a double batch because we had company coming!  Rolling them out took the whole counter--WOW!

And Conference was wonderful--great messages, I just sat and drank it in.  We had our friends the Harris' over for brunch and the Sunday morning session.  LOVE this weekend

 Matthew finds so much joy in life.  He's recently put up his small play tent in his room and he insists in sleeping in it some nights.  He is SO happy, and so positive, what a blessing he is in our family.
 Lindsey got a special surprise at school this week.  I was up there volunteering and her former 1st grade teacher who now lives in Canada came to visit and popped into the lunchroom while Lindsey was having lunch.  It was so exciting to see Mrs. Monica Serrano Entz.
 As a mom we always want to be there for our kids special things.  Lindsey was recognized in the morning assembly this week as a Marvelous Maverick by her teacher Mrs. Julia Asif because "she is a great friend to her classmates, and always tries her best."
But her teacher didn't give us a lot of notice and I actually had to be out of town and needed Stephen to be taking me to the airport at the time of this assembly.  So I called upon my "village" of friends to help me snag these photos.  SO grateful for a good network of friends who support our family.
