Wrestling!

Ammon and Carter love to wrestle with Colby, they are always playing on the living room floor. The boys are becoming very tough and pretty aggresive (which isn't neccesarily a good thing), they are all boy! Here are some fun pictures of them rough housing with daddy.


 

Haunted Houses!

We had a couple of other families over on Monday for family home evening and decorated these haunted houses. The dads built the houses using graham crackers and hot glue, then the moms and kids decorated them. Thanks to these gummy body parts, they turned out pretty scary. We had a fun night. Since we've had our haunted house on display, I am
constantly catching little boys climbing up on the kitchen counter trying to pick candy off of it. I have also found half-eaten whoppers (which Carter has decided he doesn't like, but keeps forgetting and picking them off the house anyways) all over the house. I finally had to throw the house away when the roof caved in
because Ammon tried to take the gummy eyes off. I guess we'll have to try again next year!
 

Grandpa Neel's Funeral

The weekend of October 7, the boys and I flew to Utah for my grandpa Neel's funeral. It was a very emotional weekend for me and as luck would have it, both of the kids got sick the first day we were there. Despite the bad circumstances, it was fun to be able to see our family and I was very grateful that I could be there. We were able to spend time with both the Stewart and Frost sides of our family, and many of my aunts and uncles from the Neel side were also in town. It was great to be able to spend time with family members that I hadn't seen in years, as well as spend time with my immediate family. I am so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful family. I am grateful for the legacy that my grandfather left and the example that he was to me.

A Fun Afternoon

While we were in Utah, we spent an afternoon with the Frost family. The kids had so much fun spending time with Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles and all their cousins. We went to Mcdonald's for lunch (which Ammon loved!) then we went to the Treehouse museum for a Halloween activity called The Enchanted Forest. It was fun to see the boys play with their cousins, and it was very sad to say goodbye. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again in December.
