Jet and Dash Birthday party!

Well so far my parents have been to every birthday party my kids have had, and this year was no exception.  This year we had their birthday party at the Wairhouse trampoline park.  Throwing a birthday party or any event where I am the host is kinda stressful to me, but it usually works out fine.  This time around a lot of our guests were late to the party and I was worried they wouldn't get much jumping time because of it, but luckily the staff at the Wairhouse let the kids jump a bout a half hour longer because I was late coming with the pizzas which is another mess of stress of a story I will spare you.  Anyway, things turned out fine in the end.  I think one of the best surprises of the weekend was my Uncle Vince being able to come down and visit.  My kids loved him, probably too much. He was a good sport letting them sit on his lap and playing with them.  My parents had a good time too. I love seeing them love on my kids, and I love sharing my kids with them too.

My Uncle Vince and Dash

So for the boys birthday gift we got them a trampoline, and they love jumping on it. Its a great way to get out their energy.  I already want a bigger one though so our whole family can be on it.

Grandma and Grandpa Hurst Visit!

October was a busy month for our family. On top of all the birthdays we celebrated, we had visits from Grandma and Grandpa Hurst, Grandma and Grandpa Richard, my Uncle Vince, and from my sister Julie and her husband Rob. It sure made for an action packed month
The first day of October was Jet's birthday. Annette and Virgil came that afternoon so it was great to have them there for his birthday.  I took cupcakes to his school and we had a small party with the grandparents and a couple presents at home that evening.

That weekend was also General Conference. Annette and I attended Saturday afternoon together and James and I went Saturday morning. It was awesome being in the conference center and I definitely heard some great talks given by the church leaders that spoke to my heart. It was also nice that James could go together and spend some time as a couple. 

We loved having Grandma and Grandpa Hurst stay with us,and we are so grateful for their sacrifice, (driving 14 hours) to be with us. I love seeing James spend time with his Dad, it gives me better understanding of who is is and Virgil is a great man.
