So much love!

Last Sunday evening, Sebastian came over to visit. The little girls adore him! Well, everyone adores him. He's just sunshine and love embodied in handsomeness. We love him! They found his tickle spot and had a ball making him giggle. The sound of all their laughter was magical.

Papa got a new jersey for hockey. He has always been #13, his lucky number, but now he has graduated to #72, his age, the age of twinkling happiness!

Josh and Leigh finally got a car! It's a 2010 Prius. They are thrilled, especially now that is getting colder in Idaho. And Leigh is grateful to not have to ride a bike 6 miles a day while being pregnant and sick.

Sammy is head over heels for this lovely lady, Vivian. She has completely captured his heart. She is from Brazil. In fact, she lived in the same ward as our new apostle, Ulisses Soares. She is a lawyer in Brazil, but in order to practice law here, she has to do law school again. We have different laws, so it make sense, just a bummer. She is happy and cheerful about everything, in particular, Sam. She thinks he is the sweetest, most loving guy on earth. Vivian is absolutely delightful!

I snapped a couple of pictures of the guys at choir rehearsal. I love to see them developing and enjoying their talents!

Josh Jordan, Freddy, Daniel, Miles Spencer, and Josh Jensen

Andrew and up behind him and over a little, you can see Caiden Cook and Ammon Andreasen

Josh and Leigh had fun at their church Trunk or Treat, especially since they have their very own trunk now. Josh dressed up as a gardener and Leigh as the flowers.

They are the cutest!

Freddy helped me replace the kitchen faucet. I needed some muscle to remove the last nut from the old faucet. It was pretty hard to reach. Our builders did not make it easy to get at. Once we got it out, he put the new one in for me. Richard helped get a couple parts we were missing and then coached him through the installation. I love when my kiddos learn to do new things!

During one of their runs to the hardware store, Freddy and Rich saw this cool, old truck .

Susanna helped by holding the flashlight.

While we were getting dirty under the sink, Sara and Sebastian worked on his school presentation together.

And Sam and Vivi went through a bunch of Sam's keepsakes and memory books. It was such a nice day having almost everyone home. Daniel was at play rehearsal all day. His show is at the end of next week, the 8th, 9th and 10th of November.

There was also a lot of playing around and climbing on Sebastian, of course.

Superman!

They "worked" for hours on his display board. 

It got put together, and they had a TON of fun playing around.

Saturday evening, we had our church Trunk or Treat. Susanna was the Joker. She asked Sebastian to look scared for the picture. Hahaha!

Sara was a hillbilly, Susie the Joker, Laney a scarecrow and Freddy was going to be an old man, but we didn't have time to whiten his hair or find a cane. He just looked adorable!

We had the most fun table at the party!

Sara and Sebastian left the party a little early and went to the Phoenix Chorale concert. Richard and I had gone on Friday night. It was incredibly beautiful!!! They loved it too! 

 We were pretty wiped out after all the events of the day. Andrew took this picture when he got home. He had been out for the evening with his girlfriend Lauryn's family.

You can see a little bit of Susanna's head in between Richard and I.

This was what the boys looked like during church today. To be fair, Freddy was blinking in this picture. He was awake the whole time. Andrew says he was awake too. Daniel was not awake. He was out cold. That's what happens when you are up late. Freddy worked until 1am, Andrew and Daniel got home around 11 pm. It was a busy, but wonderful week and we all enjoyed having Sunday naps after church!
