Paisley loves to film herself, I'm always finding little treasures on my phone. I'm very grateful because I don't take much film of any of the kids, so these are precious.
I'm pretty sure this was taken at Lagoon, while she was waiting at Home Base for things to get set up.
With fall in the air, we wanted to get a closer look at the glorious leaves so close to home. Jon finds great little places for us to go. It's funny because now the kids are getting a little older they moan and groan a little about going, but then always love it once we're there, and never want to leave.
We were able to fit in a BIG family bike ride. There were so many kids with us! It really was so beautiful and a lot of fun! I love that we can create these awesome memories for all these kids, I hope they love these experiences as much as the uncles and aunties do!

I loved going to Paisley's Activity Days performance. I had helped out a few times so I had seen the dress rehearsals. Paisley practiced so hard. She had some freedom to choose what she wanted to do for a speaking part. I suggested she sing the Primary song "I Will Follow God's Plan for Me". She practiced and practiced, and couldn't quite get the words down, but sounded
so sweet. We finally decided as she sang in the microphone, the girls would gather around her and sing along. It turned out great!

The Laurels always like to invite the Priests for class activities, they definitely make it more fun! I helped them plan a fun game night where we played several games. One was balloon volleyball, which they wanted to play and play until we were out of balloons. These kids are a lot of fun!
The kids
love having movie/ sleepover nights on the weekends. It's sweet to see them all piled together, so excited for their evening.
Paisley takes pictures after hair creations to show me. She felt like she's really perfected her braiding.
I love these action shots of Zeke as goalie.
Another little welcome home treat for the kids~ and a puzzle to boot!

| I grabbed this puzzle from the dollar store, just grabbed a random scene of cartoon characters. The kids informed me it's a bit racy and a little inappropriate. |

Paisley's adorable school picture. The others are adorable as well, but they didn't take a picture of their picture. I'll have to post them soon enough because they are my favorite!
Jon and Adren off to their first Priesthood session together with all the big boys. They also went to dinner and a movie after.
Zeke and his "show" he puts on my phone. Hilarious.
And finally, an adorable song by Zeke. He's in Portuguese immersion this year, and I love hearing him talk in this new language he's learning. Here's a song he sang for me:
