Happy Halloween!

-

It was the perfect day for Trick-or-Treating and I had the perfect bunch to enjoy it with!  We had a blast at the annual Morgan Business Trick-or-Treating event on Commercial Street and State Street, then the kids had fun running around town knocking on doors and collecting free candy.  Diana learned a new song, "Trick-or-Treat! Smell My Feet!  Give Me Something Good to Eat!" I learned I can say "Remember to say Thank You!" a lot when I'm out with the kids on Halloween. The Big Kids learned that trick-or-treating with a group of friends is AWESOME fun!

This year we had:
Loyd - no costume, just being an awesome missionary!
Xavier - no costume, he worked and then played computer games at a friend's house with a bunch of friends
Maeve - She made her own costume!!!! (with help from Grandma Phillips). She is Ena from the video game Monster Hunters Stories 2 video game
Owen - we found him!  He's Where's Waldo
John - the coolest Ender Dragon ever from Minecraft
Diana - whatever she wants when she feels like it because she is the youngest of 7 and has a whole costume box to enjoy!  Mostly she was Snow White, a Princess, and a Fairy Unicorn.










Do you know how hard it is to get a picture of a dancing fairy unicorn?  They just can't contain their natural exuberance for life!

It's Christmas Time

It's the Christmas season and we did a few things to celebrate the Christmas cheer this year.  Diana and I and her friend Everett and his fun mom got a personal tour of the Ogden Christmas Village by none other than Mrs Clause herself!  We even got a train ride too!  I think it was the highlight of the season for Diana.  Then we took the entire family to Luminaria at Thanksgiving Point to enjoy the spectacular lights throughout the gardens.  As always, it was awe-inspiring!  We attended the annual Phillips Family Christmas Party.  Santa made an appearance and handed out gifts to all of the kids.  Diana was terrified of him and quickly hid behind my chair when the jolly old elf came into the room.  But, she quickly found her inner bravery and ran up to his lap when he produced a prettily wrapped present and called Diana's name.  She was not going to miss out on her very own gift.  It was so funny and so cute! Wishing a Merry Christma...

Sunday Miracle

It was a Sunday Miracle this afternoon. Rebekah woke up from her nap and said, "I play nicely with Loyd." Then she found her brother and brought him out to play blocks with her at their little table. They shared their toys willingly and without being asked. Ah, thank goodness for small moments of sibling peace. :) On another note, we had our 24 week ultrasound on Friday. It's a boy! Loyd's getting a side kick/partner in crime. Heaven help Bekah to hold her own! I'd put a picture of the baby on the blog, but you know how ultrasound pictures tend to turn out. Nobody is completely sure what they are looking at. ;>)

This Guy is Amazing

Loyd closed out his High School experience as #4 in his class ranking!  Go Loyd!  I couldn't be more proud of him!  He has worked so hard the past 4 years.  He's held down a demanding parttime job at Ridley's Grocery store, taken on challenging college and AP classes, attending the DTC to learn more about architecture and engineering, taken time to build lasting memories with his siblings, and been the best friend ever.  And he's become a spiritual powerhouse at the same time, taking time to attend Seminary, study his scriptures and his Patriarchal Blessing daily, and never forgets to open his heart up in prayer to Heavenly Father.  This guy is amazing!  He was asked to honor an important teacher to him at the first ever Morgan High School Honors Banquet.  The spirit of gratitude and love that was there was the best feeling.  I'm so proud of Loyd and his recognition of Mrs. Heidi Miller for her love and efforts to help grow these students int...
