Santa's workshop

A few weeks ago after Sunday dinner, each person in my family cut out a paper "decoration" to send Brad in Brazil. Even my brothers-in-law and all the kids got involved.

The reason I'm posting about it is just to tell a funny story...

As Jaxen was writing on his decoration, he asked Auburn how to spell SANTA so he could write "Santa's Workshop" on it. She told him but then when we wrote it, he mixed up a few letters - so it said "Satan's workshop". How inappropriate to send a missionary! We were all laughing and later Auburn said "I can't get that song out of my head - {and then she started to sing to the tune of "Santa Baby"} - "Satan Baby".

It might be one of those "you had to be there" stories but I thought it was SO funny!

Halloween 2008


Noah was a police officer for the "City of Toyland" (that's what the badges said)


We took the kids to see my Grandma before the actual trick-or-treating began.

My nieces and nephews were all so cute - here they are in character from left to right:
Officer Noah Hunt; Elder Riggs Gibbons; Jax Gibbons of the JACKSonville Jaguars; Ellie Cummard as Shirley Temple; and Roxy Gibbons as Aerial (sp?).
Halloween was lots fun and Noah had a blast trick-or-treating with Ellie in my parents' neighborhood.

Cute stuff!

My friend Jessica has a new blog with CUTE STUFF! Check it out by clicking here.

I think my very favorite thing is this maternity journal: (Where was this 5 years ago?)

She also offers customized notebooks for whatever - a simple notebook, a journal... they make cute gifts and they're cheap too!

(You'll have to check out her blog for her wedding reception guest books too.)

Jessica also does custom frames...

Future Missionary

Like I've said before on my blog - Noah LOVES the missionaries that live at my parents' house. On Saturday Noah was eating his lunch in the backyard and next thing we know, the missionaries were sitting on the ground with him - they had taken their lunch out back to eat with him. It was the cutest thing. I opened the door and told Elders Poole & Welling "you guys are so nice". They said "That's because we like Noah." These elders also made an appearance at Noah's birthday party last week and Noah was so proud. Just look at Noah's face in this picture (below) - he idolizes the missionaries, and cries when they have somewhere to go and have to stop playing with him.

Someday Noah is going to be a missionary, just like these elders and Uncle Brad. This is a picture of him yesterday before our ward's Primary Program. Although I was cracking up at Noah's SHOUTING instead of singing during "I love to see the Temple" and "Called to Serve" (he could be heard above everyone else) - I was so nervous as I watched him be a little irreverant up on the stage. This was his first Primary Program - so my first time to know what the parents in the audience feel like, nervously watching their kid's behavior and not being able to do anything about it! But I still loved seeing Noah share his little testimony through the songs he loves to sing! He will be a great missionary someday.
