Babies and Baptisms

Well we have been pretty boring lately but our extended family has been busy having babies and getting baptized. Chelton's brother Parker and his wife Ashley had a cute baby girl Emma Grace Spendlove on September 19. I haven't been able to see her in person yet (and it is killing me) but her pictures sure look cute. This is the part that is so hard living far away from family. She was born with a lot of darling hair and so far seems to have it all still...my babies were bald until two...I will get to see her in a week...YAY!!! I still have a niece in Arizona who I haven't got to see who is six and a half months old but I will finally get to see her in November. Here is a darling picture of my new niece Emma.



We also have two nieces getting baptized this month...Brenna (my sister Halley's daughter) and Abby (my sister Mandee's daughter). We went to Brenna's baptism two weeks ago and will be going to Abby's next week. I had my friend Kenny from high school who illustrate's books do a picture of them for their baptism. He is an amazing drawer. I think they turned out darling and I hope they will love them now and when they get older too. Who wouldn't love to be turned into a cartoon character....I will put them on here too and if you ever want one for any occasion or something like it for a different occasion like it (like a birthday, anniversary, etc.) let me know and I will give you his info....he does all sorts of cool pictures....Here is the picture he drew of Abby



and here is the one of Brenna



We had our primary program today and the kids did their parts great. During the practices Kylie was that one kid that didn't really want to say her part but today she got up there and said it great. I just got put in as the CTR 6 teacher which is Connor's class and got put in the Relief Society Board. Chelton got put in as the 11 year old scout leader. I guess they have a pretty "rowdy" 11 year old scouts and they put Chelton and the other deputy we moved down here with. I guess when you are dealing with "rowdy" boys who better to deal with them than two sheriff deputies right? I think Chelton will be good in the calling.

Last month Garrett finally got his Wolf badge in scouts. He earned back in June when he turned 9 but it took a few months (because of summer and the craziness of that) for them to give it to him....here is a picture of him with his wolf badge...he is doing great in scouts and loves to go...



We are excited tomorrow for Halloween. Garrett is going as Harry Potter, Connor is going as a karate guy in his karate outfit and Kylie as Cinderella....will post pictures (sadly since I have no camera right now and all I have is Chelton's phone) but will take what I can. And we are excited to go to the baptism this weekend to visit family this weekend.

Also in a few weeks Chelton's brother Nik and Shauna will be stopping by to visit (the one with the niece that I have never met that is six and a half months old) will be stopping by for a visit on their way up north so we are excited to see them and have visitors here in Fillmore.

Chelton and I have also started working out more getting ready for our cruise in January. We have started doing Insanity. It has been extremely crazy but we are determined to get through it. It is a two month program of pure insanity. We have been in it a week now and already I have noticed I can get through a lot more than I could on day one. It is still hard and really is pure "insanity" but I think it will be worth it. I will keep you updated.

I will post Halloween pictures after tomorrow....Have a happy and safe Halloween
