Mason's Baptism

Grandma and Grandpa Bryson came all the way from Utah to be there for Mason's baptism. It was so nice to have them there. Grandpa was the one that did the confirmation after the baptism. That was really special for both of them.

On October 31st, my sweet little boy (who is not so little anymore) was baptized. I was excited that he got to be baptized on Halloween, because that is the same day I was baptized many, many years ago. It was a great day, and I am so proud of Mason for the choice he made to be baptized. He is such a sweet boy, who always strives to do what it right, and we are so proud of him. Love you, Mason.

Halloween

Here are some of our Halloween pictures. Mason and Miles decided a whole year ago that they wanted to be Mario and Luigi for Halloween, and they were very determined to make it happen. Grandma Miller searched second hand stores all year long to find the right things for the costumes, and she found all the right stuff! They were so excited about how their Mario Brother's costumes turned out.

Vance was a very cute Bob the Buidler

Miles and Vance with Grandpa Miller

Jordan had to work, so I took the boys out with Grandma and Grandpa Bryson. After a while, the Mario Brother's declared they were tired and wanted to go home, but Bob the Builder still wanted to collect candy. So Mason and Miles went home with Grandpa, and my mom and I got to take Vance around. It was nice to have that time with him. He kept going strong for a long time!

Daddy's Little Helper

I think that Vance is going to be a very handy man, just like is dad. Whenever Jordan has to fix something around the house, Vance is right there, waiting to help (usually with a toy tool in hand). Here he is, being Daddy's helper while Dad fixes a car. Way to go, Vance! :)

Poor Bambi

Last year, Jordan took up bow hunting, and ending up getting only one small doe. He had bigger goals this year, and ending up getting this big boy. It is a 155 pound, eight point buck. Our freezer is now very well stocked!

A Whole Ten Years!

Yesterday Jordan and I celebrated our 10th anniversary! It's amazing how fast it's gone, and all that has happened to us over the last 10 years. I could get all cheesy, and say how much I love Jordan, or thank him for the everything he does for me and the kids, how happy I am that he picked me and that he still loves me, or mention how glad I am that I have eternity left with him... but Jordan doesn't like all that lovey dovey stuff, so I'll just post some pictures from our big day a whole ten years ago. :)

At the Pumpkin Patch with Miles

Time to catch up on the old blog! October was a very busy month, and I have a lot to post. I'll probably do one or two a day.

Earlier this month I went on a field trip with Miles' kindergarten class to a pumpkin patch. I had a great time with him. And I have a lot more respect for those that choose to teach a gigantic group of five year olds for a living. I would not have the patience to do that! Thank goodness for those who do. Miles has a great teacher this year, and he is loving kindergarten.

Checking out the antique tractor. Miles is such a handsome boy!
