Okay I haven't posted anything for about a week, so I thought I better do it now. We just got Madilyn's pictures back from Amber. AMAZING!!!! I absolutely love them! She is so awesome! Nothing new going on.. just getting ready for Thanksgiving! Yay 3 day work week..I am very excited... and for shopping! :)

Falling Leaves

Today was such a beautiful day!! We finally had time to rake up leaves from our gigantic tree out front. I love it for the shade during the summmer, but it is a pain! Not only is it a mess to clean up the leaves, but it has been lifting our sidewalk (extremely bad) and roots growing in our sewer line! I think we will be removing it if we are here much longer! The house is still on the market,and we FINALLY had someone come and look at it on Thursday! The first in about 2-2 1/2 months. There must be a reason that we are still here, and whatever the reason I am okay with. I just would have loved to be in a new house by Christmas.. even Thanksgiving so we could fit everyone at our house! Oh well, one day I will have a big kitchen! For now, I am grateful that we even have a roof over our head. That is a blessing in and of itself.
I just have to say I am grateful for eternal families!! My friend Nina that I work with was sealed to her hubby Jonathan and there two kids, McKenna & Jacob. It was the most amazing thing in the world! They have been married for 12 years (Nov 13th) hence the day they wanted to be sealed. Jonathan joined the church a little over a year ago, all on his own. To see them in the temple was incredible, you couldn't help but ball your eyes out. Okay, so maybe it was just me.. I am ball baby anyways. I think it will be a neat experience for all of them to remember even McKenna and Jacob. I was able to be there when Jeff was sealed to our family. I still remember the room and how I felt. It was incredible. Now they will be together forever! I am so excited for them!
Update on Ella.. she is so cute! She is such a silly puppy. So cuddly and tolerant of Madilyn. Madilyn is mothering her like crazy, I feel bad sometimes, I think Ella just wants to run and hide! We are so excited to have her in our Family. She has been such a good thing for all of us. (Thanks Sam for letting us get a puppy!) I told him that is all I wanted for our Anniversary and Christmas. I think I will close for now.. till next post! :]

Family Pictures

We got our family pictures done this last Wednesday. Her name is Amber Bates, with AbbygailLouise Photography. She did an awesome job!

Our New Puppy!!

I know it is amazing! We are getting a new little puppy named Ella. She is 1/4 Poodle and the rest Shitzu (sp?) We went and saw her last night she is so cuddly and calm. Sam will be going to get her tonight and bring her home. We are so excited!! Maddy can hardly stand it! All the way down to springville she kept on saying "We going to get Ella Mommy?" "Where is she?" It was cute. Then this morning she woke up and asked where Ella was. Anyways, I will post more when we get her.

Halloween

Today was Halloween! Madilyn was a Butterfly.. and a cute one at that! I was Ugly Betty, which is surprisingly hard to find an outfit to match hers! You would think it would have been easier.. oh well. I did make her pancho, that say Guadalajara... that took some time! Sam decided to be a party pooper and not dress up. When we went to Grandpa and Gradma Marsden's house though, his mom gave him the "scary mask." At first Madilyn didn't know how to react to it. The first thing she said was "I don't want to be scared!" So we taught her that it was daddy being silly and to pinch his nose! She got a big kick out of that. I decided to change into a BYU fan (a little more comfortable and not so hot!) Sam had her flying like a butterfly in the air on his feet. She was giggling so hard! I am already thinking of next years costumes!

Gardner Village..Once again!

This time we went with Grandpa and Grandma Sellers, Jeffy and Daddy! Madilyn dressed up as a witch and Grandpa had her make a witches hat (mommy helped) It was so much fun! Crowded, but fun. Madilyn insisted again to ride on the pony's ( which she rode twice) Towards the end I think she got tuckered out.

Steve & Kristi

Our Friends Steve & Kristi got married on Saturday! Here are some photos from their wedding. I had the opportunity of taking their pictures... it was beautiful!
