This is a catch-up post of things I don't want to forget!
Cyrena was star student a couple of weeks ago. We got to keep Clifford for the weekend. Her eyes are red in this because she was crying about having to take Clifford back to school--she wanted to keep him. The only way I got her to stop crying was by offering to take this picture of her, Clifford and her poster.
We did a lot of 'playing' with our Halloween candy. I found Natalie like this one afternoon and David helped Cyrena build a house with hers. Eventually we let them each pick about 10 things and we threw the rest away. But it was fun to play with it all in the meantime!
Anna loved rolling around in all of it and making a mess
I love rare moments like this where I don't know where the girls are and then I find them like this. Natalie got Pinkalicious and Purplicious for her birthday and she loves Cyrena to read to her.
One night during FHE Anna was having a hard time so I had to skip out and start bathing her and get her ready for bed. I told David he could play pictionary with the girls on our whiteboard for the activity. Just informal pictionary where they thought of something, drew it and had someone else guess. Cyrena's drawing is above. 100 points to the person who can guess what it is. HINT: it's church-related and he's not wearing hat...that's his hair.
Normal nights. Cyrena is circling things in a toy catalog and Natalie is playing Doctor to Anna. Do you notice something on Anna's head? She's wearing an infant cranial band. She has a noticeable flat spot and we're trying to correct it. Fingers are crossed that it works. She adjusted to it amazingly fast.
Some 'just because' flowers from David for an overwhelmed mom. Awwww....
This owl landed in a tree in our neighbor's yard. There is an owl family around but we hadn't seen them this close up before. Very cool.
Cyrena bore her testimony for the first time a couple of weeks ago. She was nervous but did a beautiful job. She really does have a strong testimony that will serve her well through her life.

Love catch up posts and birthday posts. It reminds me that everyones lives are still moving just like mine even if we aren't close enough to see it in person.
That's definitely a deacon passing the Sacrament!
How nice of David to bring home flowers, and way to throw away Halloween candy! I just took all Brady's candy bars and served them at girls' night. They were amazed we still had them, but that's what happens when I'm not eating it.
Sorry about Anna's flat spot. Hopefully that cranial cap works.
I'm sick today, so I don't know if I'll even get to go to church tomorrow, my last Sunday as chorister. So sad!
I was going to guess the mystery person to be President Uchtdorf because his hair is poofy. :)
I wish we had fixed Riley's flat spot - her head is all wonky and misshapen now. I really notice it when I'm trying to do her hair. Doc just never said anything and we were too new to know. Poor kid.
And kudos to Cyrena for bearing her testimony! That is incredible! She beat Riley by a long shot. Riley, age 10, did it for the first time about 6 months ago after I promised to bribe, I mean reward her bravery, with a cookie.
How sad is it that I want to cry for all the candy in the trash? ;) I'll volunteer to take it off your hands next time LOL.
It's always fun when you post. It's like getting to visit with you for a few minutes and catch up, so thanks! :) I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Miss you and your sweet family!
Passing the sacrament???
Love the girls reading together... super cute.
Looks like someone passing the sacrament. And did I read that right? You THREW AWAY the rest of the candy? You're crazy.
I guess passing the sacrament or paying tithing. Oops I read everyone's comments above too late...looks like the general consensus is sacrament passing.
I agree w/ Shannen & Ashley throwing away the candy?!?! That's just wrong!!!
;) I love that Cyrena cried when it was time for Clifford to go back...means my kids were normal when their class mascots had to go back the next day too. giggle.
The girls are growing up so fast so thank you for keeping the updates coming even the "this and that" posts. It all matters to this long distance friend. Miss you oodles & gobs. Hugs to all the Deans!! Love you chica!
