Halloween

Cheyenne and her cousin Katie

Ward Trunk or Treat

Cheyenne and Berkeley

Cheyenne, Berkeley, and Grandma Sylvia

The basketball is my stomach painted orange, it is not a fake ball!

So I know I am a little late in posting this, but I couldn't forget our Halloween. The picture of me is from a little Halloween costume party at the beginning of the month. The others are from actual Halloween. I had just gotten home from the hospital from having Berkeley and I really wanted to go to the ward trunk or treat, but it hurt too bad to put a shirt on, let alone a bra. Hah... so I sent Cheyenne with my mom and sister and my sister's daughter Katie. They had a blast, and their favorite candy was the suckers. On the Saturday before Halloween, we took Cheyenne around the neighborhood, then on Sunday, actual Halloween day we handed out candy.

I was a little disappointed, because I love Halloween now that I have kids, and I wasn't able to get as into it as I like, but it was worth that sacrifice so Berkeley could come early. I am so glad she was born when she was! It was a fun Halloween:) Cheyenne LOVED it and talked about trick or treating with her elmo bucket everyday for the next few weeks.

Our Testimony

Jeff and I are both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and we wanted to share how grateful we are for that blessing. We believe the Book of Mormon and the Bible are the word of God and we learn so much as we read from them. We know that families can be together forever, even after death, if we choose to make that covenant with God in his holy temple. We believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and was led by God to restore the truth on the earth. He went through so much persecution and dedicated his life so that we could have the Gospel of Christ today. We also believe President Monson to be our prophet today, we believe he communicates with God and leads us to live good lives so we can return to live with our father in heaven once again. The more we pray, read the scriptures, and learn about the gospel, the more we feel the holy spirit in our lives. As we do these things we can see our lives and our marriage being blessed and our happiness increased. We know we have made so many mistakes in each of our lives respectively and we are so amazed that our savior Jesus Christ can help us to be forgiven for those things. We love the joy and happiness that the gospel of christ brings us everyday. Jeff even dedicated two years of his life to sharing that truth because he believes in it so much and wanted to bring other people that happiness. I am so thankful that he made that sacrifice because I can see the blessings that came from it. We are not posting this to try to force our views on anyone, we just wanted to let everyone know how thankful we are for the Lord's blessings and for his guidance in our lives. We have also been so blessed with amazing family and friends to give us support and love along our way. Thank you being there for us and thank you for letting us share our love of Christ and our testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
