School Project...

Garrett had to decorate a ginger bread Man and make up a story to go with him. We were quite proud of his pirate ginger bread man. Garrett said he was glad that he was the only one that made a pirate one because his was the most different. I wish I had kept a copy of the story. If he brings it back home I will post what he came up with, with the help of his Papa Don. Garrett is doing so good at school. I had his and Porters conferences with their teachers and they both said the boys are doing so good and excelling in each subject and both are so kind and respectful and good listeners and work really well with others. Garrett has received multiple awards for his good behavior. Their teachers have been so great. Porter's teacher said Porter is really shy but he has come a long way and he will answer questions she asks him in class and he even had to give the scripture in primary and I was so proud of him for not having any reservations and getting right up and giving the scripture with my help. It is amazing the leaps and bounds he has come from just this last year. He would never even get up to do the fun things in sharing time to help with the lesson even with my help. I am so proud of both of my sweet little boys and am so happy they are doing well.

Lost Tooth...

Garrett has been working on loosing his tooth for the last couple of weeks and was so excited to come home and show us he had finally lost it. My Dad tried to pull it out before he left for school but it started to bleed so he stopped but apparently he loosened it up just enough. He looks like he lost a couple because the hole is so big but it is just one. When Garrett grins really big it reminds me so much of Trev. I love it!! I can't believe how big he is getting.

Boys Room...

This post is mainly for Amanda.... I changed the boys room up a bit. I wanted them to be reminded of all the fun things that they loved to do with their Dad while he was here so he is always fresh in their mind. Trevor LOVED his boys so much and is so proud of all of them and their sweet spirits. I know he is watching over them.I found this lamp shade with a map on it and I had to get it because Trev loved to show the boys all the places he and we had been and all the places we wanted to go.This is the collage dedicated to some of the boys favorite things they did with their Dad. They just adore him. Trevor is an amazing Dad.I love this picture of Joseph smith kneeling in the grove. It is a great reminder to keep the faith even with the many challenges we will go through in this life. Joseph Smith is such an amazing example of courage and strength. Then of course the cork board to hang all the wonderful art projects the boys bring home.

The only things I have left to do is refinish the bunk bed in a darker brown closer to the dresser and I would like to have the walls painted a shade darker brown.

THANKSGIVING...

This Thanksgiving I am so thankful for the gospel in my life. I am thankful for the Atonement. I am so thankful for the opportunity I had to know and love my sweet husband, Trevor. I am so thankful for four sweet boys that remind me everyday of their wonderful Dad!! I have been overwhelmed by the love and support of my family, friends and unknown angels. I know my boys and I have been watched over and I have so much gratitude in my heart. I hope that I can always remember to teach the boys to be thankful and recognize the many blessings we enjoy. We have had a great loss, but we also have been given so much and we are so lucky to have the opportunity to be together with Trevor again one day and I look forward to that day. We were able to spend this Thanksgiving with my parents, Joel and Amber's family, Lisa and Chris's family and my grandpa and grandma Goodman. We had fun being able to visit with them, play games and eat good food. I have an amazing family, we are so blessed!!



I tried to get a good picture of all the boys on Thanksgiving, this is the best I got of all four of them, Brody wasn't being very cooperative. Then there is these crazy monkeys, they have so much energy. I wish I had even half the energy these little men have then I would be doing good.
