1. A date with my Max. Because Jason couldn't sit at the cougar game, Max decided that he wanted to sell the football tickets for a little extra money for himself. He wanted me to drop him off on the corner to sell, but after I did, I couldn't leave him there alone. So I hurried and parked and ran down to stand by him. After standing there forever he ended up getting $10 which wasn't what he had expected. Thanks to the cheap folks standing behind us selling their tickets for $5. As we were walking back to the car he was holding back his tears. He had plans to get a Fredette jersey with his money or a video game. Instead he enough for an ice cream. I took him to the BYU bookstore anyway and he carefully looked at everything he wanted. He negotiated with me to buy a sweatshirt on sell. He was so happy.

1. Taking Jayne to play on the tree at the mall. She had a smile on her face from the minute we got there! I had such flashbacks of when I used to take Emilee there to play when she was the same age. Seriously what has happened to the 12 years in between? I realized Jayne doesn't get a lot of opportunities to do the same things I did with the kids when I was a younger mom. Now we barely have enough time to just get through our day as it is. Finally I had to bring her home because she was bullying everyone there. She didn't care what the age or size of the kids were, she would walk right up to them and let them have it. I spent the whole time apologizing to other parents for her pulling their hair or hitting them. After being completely embarrassed I decided it was time to pack it up and head back home. Maybe she does need a little more time out socializing with other kids.
2. My parents took my kids to see Toy Story 3. What a fun surprise for a Friday night!
3. Watching Jay play in a Region Volleyball tournament.

4. Then Jason and I went to the Mt. Timpanogos Temple to do the endowment and sealing. I love going to the temple with him! It was awesome to see the millions of people that were there from our ward and stake. I know the temple workers were so exhausted. My favorite part was the sealing. It has been a long time since I have done that. Jason said that we renewed our vows. I felt the presence of those on the other side. Gertrude? My Grandpa?
5. Then we came home to try to figure out costumes for the Halloween parties tomorrow. My kids were so willing to be whatever and I am grateful! Jason talked Max into being Frankenstein & I found a pirate dress for Lucy down in the dress ups.
2. I snuck Max out of school at lunch to come home and tend Jayne so I could go to the temple.
3. I saw my Mom working at the Provo Temple and she looked so beautiful all in white. It was fun to see her in action there and meet some of her friends. I know that is a big job she has every week there. She got to come and do part of the initiatory for me and it was so neat. She is such a great example to me and I love her!
4. Then Jason and I went to the Mt. Timpanogos Temple to do the endowment and sealing. I love going to the temple with him! It was awesome to see the millions of people that were there from our ward and stake. I know the temple workers were so exhausted. My favorite part was the sealing. It has been a long time since I have done that. Jason said that we renewed our vows. I felt the presence of those on the other side. Gertrude? My Grandpa?
5. Then we came home to try to figure out costumes for the Halloween parties tomorrow. My kids were so willing to be whatever and I am grateful! Jason talked Max into being Frankenstein & I found a pirate dress for Lucy down in the dress ups.

1. Lucy went to on a field trip this morning to Hee Haw Farms. She got to go to school with Abbie and Max and she was so excited.
2. Yummy pulled pork that cooked in our oven all night and all day.
3. Pinewood Derby. Max and Jason made two cars, one green one for Max and a red one for Jason. The red one ended up to be the fastest so they raced it. Max took 5th place. The times that he didn't win, I'd watch his face and it was so hard to take. He is a competitor and likes to win. All in all he ended up pretty happy with his car. It is so hard to watch the kids that lose every time.
4. We took the kids to the Haunted Train tonight. The wait was over an hour but ended up to be worth it. The kids loved it and every year I am amazed at how much time and effort they put into it.
5. Asking Jayne if she wants to ride the train again and her shaking her head NO!
