A long time coming...

We have an official date for Brett's DEFENSE of his thesis

December 10th, 2012!

I think that those who are close to either of us know what kind of hurdle this has been in our life.  It has been the ups and downs, the bitter and sweet, but most of all a very strengthening experience for our WHOLE family. I know that just because he is defending doesn't mean it is completely over, but it sure puts us a lot closer than we have ever been.  I am so proud of him overcoming so many things to accomplish this task.  I am also SO thankful for a Heavenly Father who answers prayers (not necessarily making the trial go away, but in a manner of solutions).  As a couple we have come closer together than we ever have been!  I LOVE you, BRETT!  You are amazing!

We still ask for all your prayers, because defending won't be an easy task...but we just have to remember we are DEFENDING!

GOOD LUCK BRETT!

WE ARE ALL SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

Halloween Festivities 2012

A little bit of everything...

We got to have Cyle and Caylinn (my sister's kids) here for the trunk or treat.  This really was a treat since they live in Illinois and we NEVER get to see them.  Thanks for making the drive LaVon!

My cute spiderman and monkey! 

Our family...we have just recently all started dressing up...a big accomplishment for our family! 

Pumpkin carving with Grandma and Grandpa Jenson (2 years in a row...we are so lucky to have them close by) 

Jace always gets a little skiddish about touching the guts of a pumpkin.  In fact, this is about as close as he gets...otherwise he starts to dry heave.  Poor guy...how will he ever gut a fish. 

Brett's pumpkin...any similarities?  Jk 

Our kids with their pumpkins...yes the third child is represented by a #3!

This year's halloween was one of the best yet...just because of our kids age.  We handed out candy for about an hour while we had our traditional dinner of "dinner in a pumpkin", then we locked up and the kids went door to door for about an hour and a half.   It was seriously SO fun!  I think I loved that we got to go out as a family...nobody had to stay home for bedtime or cause it was too cold.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2012!!!
