New House and our Mummy!

Hey Family!

I know, you haven't heard from us in a while...sorry about that!  We finally have pictures of our new house, of Elizabeth's first birthday and of Noah this Halloween!  Noah chose to be a mummy this year and we were glad that he even agreed to dress up since last year he refused to put on his costume and ended up carrying it around trick or treating.  We have started moving and we'll hopefully be living in our new house by Tuesday or Wednesday...we are so excited to have a little more space.  Elizabeth's birthday was great (and Mary, that coat is darling!)  Ammon's early morning seminary class is going well and I think he's feeling better about it...and the students love him, how could they not!!!  Young Women's is going well, too, and I'm learning a lot how much Heavenly Father loves the youth of the church...I've never had so many spiritual promptings so often.

We love you all and now that we have an extra room, that means we can even have more of you come visit (hint hint) !!!!

Elizabeth eating her birthday cake.  Yes, that is a goose egg on her forehead...she is a climber and a runner!

Noah's scary Mummy face!

 Our new kitchen.  You can't see it very well in the picture, but the cabinets are a really pretty cherry color.  Ammon picked out the flooring and we love it...it has the color of the cabinets mixed in (we took it at night because we were starting to move things in and wanted to take pictures before there were boxes everywhere!)
We put this in because the color of the tiles around the fireplace are the same as in the front entry way...we really like how it turned out!

We haven't been able to take pictures of the front of the house because it's been so rainy!  But we'll post one as soon as we can :)

mom and dad's present/winterizing date

Dear mi familia,

Well, it's nearing the end of Oct. and we still haven't set a date for a time to "winterize" the house.  I don't want mom and dad to think we weren't serious about it.  Maybe everyone could e-mail which sat would work the best in the next few weeks.  We need to get it done before thanksgiving for SURE.

Hope everyone had a good fall break.
Love,
Mary
