Trunk or Treat

We went to our Ward's Trunk or Treat.  It was a lot of fun.  They sure know how to throw a party!!! Some people decorated the trunk of their cars, and we even had Snow White's magic mirror which told fortunes to the kiddos.  They really enjoyed it!    

 We have a wonderful bishop who is so much fun!  His wife too!  I thought their costumes were hilarious.  Especially because he really is a very young bishop. Karen's costume was just awesome! The butt pad was the best!

There were so many great costumes.  The whoopee cushion was hilarious.  And I absolutely adored this little lady bug.  Amara, was so good the whole time, and just so stinkin cute!!!

 This little girl, Riley, absolutely loves Eldon!  It is so stinkin cute!  At church she will run up to him as if she hasnt seen him in forever.  She snuggles and giggles and flirts. Its so funny.  Her mom text us after the trunk or treat to tell us that she said she had "fun wid Edon".  So cute.  I was rolling because we even brought Zeus to the party, but she had fun with Eldon!  ha.  We might have to fight because i am a jealous girl, but it just goes to show that Eldon is going to be a wonderful father!!!  Next to Riley is her big brother Jaxon. 

 My good friend Nicole and her hubby came along for the ride.  It was alot of fun.  Eldon and I went as ourselves.... nerds!  And Zeus was a pirate.  The kiddos thought it was really cute to get a treat and pet the puppy.  He always does so good with kids, especially crazy scenes like this one.

 Bobbi made a great pregnant nun.  She really is pregnant.  It made it even better that her hubby Kyle went as a priest.  Hilarious!  And our good friends little girl, Sophie made a beautiful queen of Hearts, especially when liking icing off her lips from the yummy Halloween cupcakes.

We had a wonderful time with our dear ward friends and are excited for the rest of the holiday.  Happy Halloween!!!

A Walk to Remember

A Walk to Remember

By: Tim and Julie Smith

We walk to remember the steps you've never taken

and all the memories that might have been.

And we grieve the loss of you, O child of our dreams
and long to heal the ache that's deep within.

We ask the Lord to lead us to trust and gratitude...

and acknowledge that we'll never be apart.
We'll treasure the gift and the grace of your life
For we'll always hold you in our hearts
We'll always hold you in our hearts.

Misti and the Kiddos and my sweet friend Nicole came out to support us and our babies today.

This morning, Banner Desert Hospital (the hospital where we delivered our precious stillborn twin baby boys) hosted a Walk to Remember.  This was a walk to remember the steps these sweet little babies would never take.  It was a very sweet memorial.  There was a fabulous turn out, which made me a bit sad because it meant there were so many other families that were grieving just like us.  We were very grateful for the family and friends that came out to support us, and for the support we were receiving from afar.  

So many balloons! It was an amazing sight!

My sweet friend Chari and her son Weston (who was one of my babies when I worked for Easter Seals) came to walk with us. Thanks!

Getting ready to walk.  So many beautiful white balloons.

We walked a quick mile around the neighborhood, and then came back to the amphitheater for a memorial service.  They allowed any parents that wanted to share a poem, story, or song in remembrance of the children they had lost.  They then presented each family with a small memorial gift.  We then had a balloon release sending our love to our babies in Heaven.  It was an incredibly sweet memorial and I am really glad that we were able to be a part of it

Sending all our love to Heaven.  You will always be in our hearts!
