There is nothing better than good friends, food and trains!! We had a wonderful evening with our good friends decorating gingerbread trains. The boys had fun eating the candy and icing and the big boys really liked putting the gingerbread parts together. We then had a little dance off with the little men and boy did they have fun!! Cooper has some good moves and Jace well he is still figuring out how to groove. We feel very blessed this season to have such wonderful friends!!

Oopps Pics from this fall

Well obviously I am not so good at this here are the pics to go with my fall post.

Fall

We have had a very busy fall. Dan went hunting and got a big kill. I did not think much of it but Dan entered it in to a contest and won a gun!! While Dan was gone Jace and I played with cousins, and aunts and uncles. We also went to a friends house where there was a pink stroller and Jace could not put it down so I decided that while Dan was gone I would purchase one for us to play with at home and yes folks it has been a hit!! We also had the chance to go to a BYU game in Colorado. It was super fun but we forgot a heavy coat for Jace so he and I spent the second half of the game in the car while it was snowing. Not a big deal since it was nap time so he and I slept while we waited for the game to end. We have also spent lots of time playing outside, going to the library and just recently we decided to do some gymnastics with Jace!! It is so fun, I don't have pictures yet but I promise I will post as soon as I take some. Well that sums it up sorry this is out of order but I thought I should share what our family has been up to these past few months.

Thanksgiving

Having fun singing Christmas tunes

Nativity

Dunn Family 2010

What a wonderful blessing it is to be surrounded by wonderful family!! I must say this year we have so much to be grateful for. Our lives are so blessed. During this week I have been reminded how much I am loved and how much our heavenly father loves us, what a blessing it is to know that we are forever. I just love this season and the opportunity it gives us to really count our blessings. I must say I feel a little overwhelmed with how blessed I am, I am so grateful for the journey that my life has traveled and just want to say thank you to all who have in some way guided mine and my families path.

We had so much fun hanging out with the family. This is our attempt to get a group shot minus Jace, it was to late and he was asleep. Our day started with a 6 hour drive to Lyman due to the wind we had to drive a little slow. Upon arriving at our destination we had a wonderful meal surrounded by great friends and family. Later that evening we had a Christmas show down. The kids dressed up to play all the parts of the nativity story, we sang songs, read the Christmas story and at the end we had presents!!! The kids loved it. Thank you grandma and grandpa for putting in all the effort to make Thanksgiving Day special!! We love you and appreciate all you do for all of us.

Happy Halloween!!!

Pumpkin Carving with Dad

Look mom I am big and can carve by myself

Happy Halloween everyone. Our little family has had a very busy week we started the week cutting pumpkins which was so fun!! I was a little nervous that Jace would not sit still long enough but to my surprise he loved it and was super mad when we were done!! Then this weekend we went to the trunk or treat. Jace was a dragon and it was so unique I did not see one dragon that looked like him. Jace was so good letting us get him all dressed up he was such a good sport. We also got to hang with the grandparents they decided to come join us for a lovely weekend. We found lots of time to play outside on the playground that is by our house, then of course we went tricker treating!! We went with our friends who just moved back from North Dakota. We only made it half way around our subdivision but Jace and little Piper had so much fun. I am feeling so blessed to have my sweet little family. I love this season that is approaching, wishing everyone a great and blessed holiday season.

This was a pic of Jace before I left to have on my camera with me

This last week I had the chance to leave my family to go and have a relaxing get away from my boss she felt like it was a continuing education retreat to center ourselves . It was very hard leaving Dan and Jace behind but it was nice to go and have some me time. The stay at the spa was filled with lots of good food, day hikes, spa treatments, and fun fitness classes along with the pool and of course the beautiful surroundings. Here are a few of the pics. There will be more to follow as the group I went with combines the photos.
