For Jake's Birthday we had Chad and Katie over for dinner and presents. The boys like when we have family over and get really excited. We had finger foods and better than anything cake. Jake got a tent, a Boise State shirt, and one of our boys knitted him a blue and orange beanie.

 My parents and siblings came for a visit over conference weekend. They were able to stop by my house for about an hour. It  was nice to be able to see them for a little bit. This is my dad with my niece Oakley.

 Jake and I got to go on a Family Teachers retreat. It was nice to get away. We went to Eden for three days of training. This picture was taken right before we left.

 Jake decided to grow a beard for while... luckily that phase has ended :)

 The start of one of the pumpkins we carved.

Jake and I went to Twin Falls for a few days. It was a rushed trip but it was so fun. We stayed at his parents house. It was a blast! The adults went to a Haunted Maze. I was freaked out the entire time. I had a sore throat for the next couple days but it was so fun. We laughed a lot after the fact. The girls had a girls night at Shari's. We promised Katie we would not go while she was on her mission. So it was our first time back. We usually go one time while we are together. On Saturday morning we went to Burly for the craft fair. I bought a few things. I will have to post pictures soon. Overall the weekend was so much fun. We did a lot of fun activities but it was great to be with the family.

 Teri's little boy Cade. He is getting so big and is always smiling. What a cute kid!

Caramel apples I made. Our job can get so stressful and busy at times and my stress reliever is to bake. The boys enjoy it, and so do our neighbors.
