Brigitte and a spoon

Trick Or Treat

Brigitte's first "real" Halloween! We had so much fun. We did go trick or treating to a few houses! We just stayed in South Hutch and actually got a lot of candy for the few houses we did go to. She was pretty funny though. They would hold the bowl for her to pick a piece and every time she would go for the Snickers! It wasn't like Snickers was the only candy in there either. She would also get upset if they didn't give her two pieces. A girl has to have one for both hands! HELLLO!!!

I did dress up and didn't wear it very long. I was really surprised only kids knew that I was an Iphone. We stopped at a friends house first and she had trick or treaters and one said "Look mom, an Iphone!" You would think with so many people wanting Iphones or having one would know what a homemade one looks like! HA

Time Out For Women

So I had an amazing weekend with my mom! We were able to go to Time Out for Women in Kansas City this past weekend. Girl's weekend with women from my old ward and my first time being away from Brigitte more than 10 hours! We went both nights and heard some AMAZING and inspiring speakers! My favorite speakers were probably Jason Wright and Anthony Sweat. Jason taught me I need to "open my eyes and slow down" and Anthony taught me "to be fair-don't compare!" Which is something I have been doing a lot of with building this new house! Mariama Kallon was there with her amazing story of coming from Africa. Emily Watts was just so funny and spoke about raising children! Jericho Road was there on Saturday. The first time I saw them they were cute return missionaries and now they are married (3 of the 4 anyway), have children, and not so cute! lol I first saw them when I was about 12 I think. They were pretty good. It is funny how when you get four younger men up there singing and dancing women just go nuts! I am so grateful that my mom was able to come with me to this. She wasn't feeling well right before it and wasn't going to come but she sucked it up and came! Look at how cute she is! She wasn't feeling to hot when we took this picture but she looks 10 times better than I do! Love you mom!
