Cole got to go spend some time with his Papa doing a little wall climbing. He had such a great time!
Cole has always been our little climber!

Happy Thanksgiving Canada!
This last Sunday, October 10th, we were able to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving again!
I absolutely love having a friend who is from Canada and is wonderful enough to let us join in the holiday with her, her family and other friends because who doesn't like two Thanksgivings!? Although this is not the only reason I love her, it is a bonus. :)
We always have a great time when we get together with friends. Especially when there is food involved. You can see what is most important to me, family, friends and food!
We have made a lot of great friends since moving to Houston and that I am Thankful for!

On to the Next
A few weeks ago I was called to be on the ward activity's committee.
It has been 6 months since I was released from the YW's. As nice as it was flying under the radar for a little while it feels good to be doing something again.
This should be a fun calling. I am really excited! Although I am not the most creative person when it comes to planning activities.
While I was on my "calling vacation," the gospel doctrine teacher was released and guess who the bishop asked to sub for a couple of weeks!? Yes, ME!! One of my worst nightmare callings! I was sick when he asked but I did it and was so glad when it was over! Talk about stress!
I'm just grateful they didn't call me to that permanently!

A Camping We Will Go
The first weekend in October we went camping with a bunch of friends. It was a lot of fun!
Unfortunately I'm not good at having my camera with me all the time taking pictures so I only have pictures of the end of the camp out so I would have something to go on the blog besides words.
We ate hot dogs and then Tom and Angel set our tent up in the dark with the help of Tom's truck headlights. While setting up we had a little friend join us on the tent. I guess you wouldn't consider a scorpion a friend so Tom squished it just so I would have a little bit a piece of mind that when I climbed into my sleeping bag to go to sleep that that particular scorpion would not be joining me. ICK!! I HATE Texas bugs!!
The dads all thought it would be funny to cover themselves in mud,
which it was
Avery is our little water baby!
She ABSOLUTELY LOVES being in the water!!
Tom made a delicious dinner
dutch oven chicken
YUMMY!

We locked up the tent then joined our friends at the camp fire until it was our bedtime.

We got up there late Thursday night after being lost for about an hour. What an adventure!We ate hot dogs and then Tom and Angel set our tent up in the dark with the help of Tom's truck headlights.

That first night was no fun trying to get the kids to go to bed. Being in a new place they were just too excited to sleep. I ended up laying in between them until they fell asleep so they would stop playing with each other!
Once sleep did come it wasn't long. Throughout the night Avery would start crying, while still asleep, so we would get up to try and comfort her even though she would never wake. I got about three hours of sleep. Poor Tom was getting up at 6:00 to go fishing so I know he didn't get much sleep either.
Friday was a great day! The kids played while the adults relaxed. The lake wasn't far from where we were but mostly for fishing so we drove a short distance to go where we could swim. The guys and kids swam while the women lounged around and talked.

Cole got his first sun burn Friday. So sad! He woke up Saturday morning with a huge, nasty blister on his face. I did take pictures but some how they were lost! So maddening!!
~~~~~
Friday night went much better. The kids had played so hard and were in the sun a lot during the day that they were completely worn out! Cole and Avery couldn't get into bed fast enough! As soon as their little heads hit the pillow they were out! YAY!!!
We locked up the tent then joined our friends at the camp fire until it was our bedtime.

Saturday we ate breakfast, packed up and left. Since it was conference weekend we wanted to get back so the men could go to the priesthood session.
