That being said.... I give you AGAIN.... Elder Gilett & Elder Saxon... hit it boys!


In their defense, it was their last p-day together and they HAD to do something fun. This is just who they are! If it was on YouTube, I bet it'd shoot to #1, but I won't.

I bet this video alone could guarantee them endless dates when they get home - I mean, just kidding elders, DONT GET TRUNKY! I hope that they end up in a BYU ward together or something just to be able to do this again, but next time with an audience.

We'll miss you Elder Saxon!

Missionaries.... DANCING?!!!!

Someone should notify the mission office!
It is about as clear as one of those Sasquatch sighting videos, but if you look really hard, you'll see....
definitely two white shirts!
The Elders in our ward stopped by the other night to say goodbye to Jeremy before he left for Salt Lake on Friday. They had made him brownies and the card shown below. It was a paper heart with a picture of them and the words "We love and miss you thiiiiissss much". There were strings coming out from each side of the heart with little paper hands on the ends. It was very cute.



We took some pictures with them, and even caught them dancing to the music of Grant's toy radio while they were setting up their cameras on our entertainment center as shown in the video.

We helped them feel like spiritual GIANTS...

But sad to say, it was short lived (and no we're not standing on anything).
We love our Elders Gillett & Saxon!!!

Here's Grant lookin at you Kid!

The other day I showed Grant the video of his cousin Cash that Cullen had posted on her blog and he started laughing and trying to touch the screen. I got it on video today. It's not the exact same reaction, but he is still very entertained when we watch it.

I believe it's official enough to post: we're moving to Utah in December. Sadly we won't be able to make it to California for Christmas, but I hope we'll get up there soon. I can't wait to meet my first nephew! I bet all of you forgot that I'm in the running now for favorite aunt... watch out! I'd better step up my game if I'm going to catch up with Cammie, but seeing as Grant doesn't even realise that he has aunts yet (you're all just people who adore him therefore he loves you), I think I have a bit of time to enter the race. I hope all is well with everyone and that we're all together again soon.

Happy Halloween



Halloween was so much fun! We decided to recycle our pirate costumes from 2 years ago and just bought one for Grant. He looked so cute wearing a bandana, but he wouldn't leave it on, so we settled for the mustache which (unlike the goatee) wouldn't be drooled off.




We went to our ward's Trunk or Treat with a pirate flag tied to our broom handle and flying over the back of our truck while we passed out candy and Grant played in the truck bed. Grant even helped refill the pumpkin bowls that we were using to pass out candy. See the video. Hope you all had fun too!
