Just too cute!
I made this Advent calendar this year. I think it turned out pretty cute.
Seeing Santa at the ward party. Jared had a political meeting, so he wasn't able to be there. What a treat it was to meet Santa!!
He wanted a Phineas and Ferb cake. We all love that show! I think it turned out cute! 
And of course..."Perry the Platypus" Cupcakes.
We did lots of fun things for Josh's party, but one of the activities was to make our own contraptions, or "inators" as they call them on the show.
We also did some experiments. And made a balloon blow up with chemicals. Cool.
Some of the presents this lucky boy received.
I got to go to Josh's school and do a little thing about him! Plus he passed out his favorite treat of Mint Oreo's. 
He wanted a Boots Cake. I think it turned out cute.
Then he had a "Cars" party, and these were the cupcakes.
At the party, the kids colored the car, then we got pics of each one behind it. 
Some of the presents this lucky boy got. He had a fun birthday! This is only a fraction of the pics I took. But for the sake of time, and the attempt to get caught up, I'm only picking the best of the best to post. 
Breanne wanted to make these hats to wear for Thanksgiving. Good thing for Google. I was able to make them quickly and they turned out cute!
The meal with the Mortensen's.
The meal with the Jardine's.
Josh recieved his WOLF for Cub Scouts. He did a great job. He loves scouts and has the best Den Leaders. Good Job Josh!!!
Joshua had to make something "useful" for cub scouts. So instead of the customary bird house, I had him make Breanne some furniture for her new Barbie house. He did a great job, even sewing the cushions, and she LOVED it. She has put in a request for more as a Christmas present. Super cute!
I got help with the party in Josh's class. It was so fun.
Carving Pumpkins. Yes....On Halloween. I can't remember why, but it seems we were really busy, or sick, or probably both, and didn't carve them the week before, like usual. But it was actually a good thing, because our pumpkins looked so nice and fresh for all the trick or treaters to see. Instead of moldy and saggy.
"Trick or Treat!"
Scott went dressed as Winni-the-Pooh. Oh what a cute costume. I would just smile every time I saw him. And couldn't help but poke his belly a few times. 
Tuckered out after trick or treating.
The school has a contest for kids who read a certain amount every day of the week. Every couple months, they have a drawing, and someone wins a bike...and blow me away....Josh won! It was super exciting!
(The little girl in the pic that no one will recognize is the neighbor.)
Yup! I'm a yellow belt in the art of Kenpo Karatee. I have always wanted to learn karatee. I'm loving it! I'm hoping to get my Orange belt soon, and just continue on as far as I can. I feel so blessed to have the chance to learn right now. Hopefully I will never need to use the self defense I'm learning, but it is impowering to know that I can do things now I couldn't do before. And that I will stand a greater chance, if ever the need arises. Anyway, that wasn't even the reason I started. I really have just always wanted to learn. So this is pretty cool. Now, I just need to find more time to practice! :)
Breanne really wanted a "Liv" Doll, so she was pretty excited about this present!
She also got a big Barbie house. I always wanted one of these growing up, but they are so big and bulky that they aren't too practical. But I figured, we could put it on her dresser, so it wouldn't be taking up floor space. She loves it!
She got lots of fun things for her family party too. But the thing that made it the most special was that there were so many more family members present than normal! Because Niamh got baptized the day before, we had a our Arizona families up for a visit. Normally they aren't at the birthday parties, so it was pretty special that she had so many of her cousins there are her party!
