Jaden started preschool the last week of August and is LOVING it! The first week he was so excited to go...the second week not too much...but we are back to enjoying ourselves! His teacher's name is Miss Kelly and she is AWESOME!!! So excited for my little man and love to hear the stories he comes home with!
Here he is all ready on his first day with his favorite fall decoration...the scarecrow :)
We had a spectacular flood in August which has caused a few rooms in our basement to need to be fully re done! Its a positive and a negative. I wanted the kitchenette in the basement torn out so this gave us the need to do that and now hopefully we can make the basement how we want with less charge to us...So that's been a fun change but a hard change as well. Despite the chaos and such Shawn's parents have been troopers and still come to visit and we have had a lot of fun!
We took them to dinner at one of our new favorite restaurants...Boccias. Why are they one of our favorites you ask? Well because they have gluten free pizza....gluten free pizza? Yes. After months and months of being sick and feeling like I must have the WORST luck ever, and just get food poisoning from everything I eat.....I went in for an ultra sound, endoscopy, and a failed attempt at a colonoscopy, we ruled out a gallbladder issue and found Celiac Disease. (FYI Golytely hates me) For those of you who are familiar with my family , my sister got diagnosed with celiac in her early 20s so we weren't all too surprised to find it. Honestly, it's not a fun change but of everything it could be, this is manageable and not near the worst it could be so I'll take it! I'm just excited to start feeling better!

On Labor Day we went to Toads in Ogden! SO MUCH FUN!!! Jaden has been begging to go golfing ever since Shawn and his dad went this summer so we decided to take him miniature golfing, and he loved it! They also have a fun little arcade that he got a kick out of playing games at!
Daddy showing J how it's done!
Taking a break!
Ella just enjoying hanging out!
We have been loving playing outside in the fall weather! Jaden does a great job at entertaining Ella while mom and dad work on projects...there are always projects....
Hehe, Look how studly this little man is on his way somewhere or another!
I wish I would have gotten a picture of the kids together in their BYU gear, but I guess there is still time. For now...here is Ella cheering on her team! Win or loose, we are true blue...
Jaden's imagination has been growing like crazy, I love finding him doing little creative things like this or bringing me all sorts of things and saying, mom lets use this to make a project!!
I also recently got called as the Beehive advisor in Young Womens and am absolutely LOVING it! I wasn't sure how I would love the beehives, but I honestly feel like it a PERFECT fit! I have such great girls in my ward and the presidency is fantastic! I hate being gone from the kids multiple nights a week at times, but the kids don't mind because they have a KILLER dad who is so much cooler than mom and when mom is gone it's a daddy movie night!
We also FINALLY got family pictures done and I LOVE them! My cousin Brianna took them and I can't thank her enough for how awesome she is!!! I put most of my favorite on here on the descriptions and headers, but here are a few more that rock!
hehehe...this Totally caputes Ella's feelings about pictures that day!
Lots of things happening, but lots of fun things and we feel truly blessed! I will upload pictures of the new basement as they come and pictures of the barn because as of tomorrow it will be red!! Wish us luck!!!

I adore you. Your babies are growing way too fast!
If you're gonna remodel, who better to pay than homeowners insurance right? I'd say that's a major blessing! :) I loved all the pictures but my two favorites are the one of Jaden in his sunglasses and Ella's sad face. Lily makes that face quite often and I just want to eat her poofed out cheeks! :)
