Thriving Ivory

Last Saturday, Jonathan and I took my nieces and nephew and their friends to a Thriving Ivory Concert. It was awesome. One of the best concerts I've been to. (The best being Bare Naked Ladies, by far.) However, being the band is fairly new, they stayed after the concert and signed anything we wanted them to. I'm a big fan of concert t-shirts. I was able to get video of their concert, but haven't figured out how to get it on to my blog, sorry. We had a blast. Taking my nieces and nephew reminded me of being in high school. Wow, I'm getting old!

Thought this was a fun picture.....

Carving Pumpkins!




We had a lot of fun when Grandpa Leavitt and Marlene came to visit last week. We ate dinner, halloween cookies, and carved pumpkins. If it wasn't for Grandpa and Marlene, Jonathan and I wouldn't have ever made it through the pumpkin carving phase! Sarah and Olivia chose the most difficult designs to carve. Go figure. Sarah wanted Cinderella, and Olivia wanted good 'ol Lucifer (the cat on Cinderella). Good Times.

Our Basement is taking shape...

It's been a while since I've written. Busy lives. This past week our basement got drywall! I've been loving all the noise accompanied with it! :o) We've picked out paint and carpet, so we hope to have this all done within a month! This would be the best Christmas present ever! :o) .... a place for the kids to make a mess and not make Mom freak out. :o) I am sure they are looking forward to it also.

We loved General Conference. It always goes too fast. I think it brings a lot of peace into our home just listening to their voices. I am sad that I have to wait SIX more months to do this again.
