It was nice that we all got to go to church and hear Jethro talk since it was a break in the Covid cases. My mom is beautiful!
Mom and Dad braved letting us stay at their house again after Jubal flooded their basement this summer and we went up and spent the night and then went to Jethro's farewell and our family Halloween FHE party after. It was a lot of fun. I love Halloween.
Jethro and cute Navy. I just stole all these photos from other people. And this was too cute to pass up.
Megan is so awesome and goes above and beyond every year to make holiday parties awesome for the kids. Her and Amy planned all the games and made bags of treats for everyone and generally just are amazing.
Ethan dressed up as Garrett for Halloween. Garrett had just broken his clavicle in football at Mountain Crest. Definitely best costume this year.
Megan gave a great family home evening lesson.
And then everyone changed and we played games.
That relay race was intensely competitive.
I tried to video Efraim running this relay but I was too slow getting out my camera. He was hardcore in to it. We all thought he'd need coaching, but he pretty much had it down by himself and was going full speed.
Kourntey's masterpiece! So epic!
I made cupcakes.
Mom's masterpiece. Seriously the food was knocking it out of the park this year. Loved it!
I'm a mom and a nurse, hopefully decent at both but that's debatable. I love history and family history and blogging is my way of keeping my family's history. Most of all, I love Leo (mi papacito esposo de Colombia) and Ana, Elena, Isabel, Sebastian, Nicolas, Jubal, and Efraim (mis hijos). My other passion is also dark and rico and from South America--that would be chocolate. Basically I like to eat chocolate, eat chocolate icecream, eat frozen hot chocolates from Dairy Queen, eat Peppermint Yorks, Junior Mints, and of course dark chocolate truffles. Okay, now that I've wiped the slobber off my chin from thinking about all of that, I'll get on to the rest of my blog. Oh, and I'm trying to learn Spanish but spend too much time blogging/sewing/reading/sewing instead.
"Managing a home involves much more than keeping a house clean, organized, and attractive. These skills are important...but these skills are only a means to an end. The paramount objective is to create a setting where family and friends are comfortable and happy, where there are good dinners and good times, where there is fun and laughter, where children acquire good habits and are taught life skills and how to be self-reliant and responsible, where challenges are faced by coupling temporal endeavors with eternal perspectives, where joy through gospel teaching and living prevails, where kindness and respect reign supreme, where love is strong enough to bind the family forever, and where children are nurtured toward eternal life."
--Daryl Hoole
“Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels.” Elder Boyd K. Packer - November 1993 Ensign

Sober of not, I am forever yours."
