Octoberfest!

Trick or Treat!



We had a fun filled October. We went to Baugher's rode a hayride and picked our pumpkins. Some pumpkins were a little questionable. Troy and Spencer managed to find their GREAT PUMPKIN. Sadie mangaed to comb throught the entire patch before finding her pumpkin. Bubba and Nicole found just the right size for them. We were able to visit with Nonni and Pop, Uncle Tim, Aunt Theresa, Sierra, Tyler, BJ, Amy, Drew, Jessie and Christian. Afterwards Monica surprised Troy by choosing Texas roadhuose for a birthday dinner.



Trick or Treating was a blast this year. We were acompany by Indiana Jones, a Dallas Cowboys Football player, A gymnast and a Life size Carebear! Everyone managed to carry thier own bags candy. ( I think they were determined!)



As a side note: We had a family in our old ward who lost two of there children in a car accident. As I was driving to the viewing, our children were asking me normal questions and as I answered them I was able to share this with them. I know that through the plan of salvation we are an eternal family. How grateful I am to my Heavenly Father for creating such an awesome plan of happiness. I know that if I do all that I can in this life that I will be with my family forever. This plan has given me comfort over the years through the loss of Grandparents but never has it become more real to me than the other night when I shared my testimony with them. I am so grateful for gospel in my life I am not quite sure where I would be without it. It has brought such happiness and joy. After I shared my testimony with them I told them (more for Nicole's benefit) that if you needed to say anything to Brother and Sisiter Boles just simply say "I'm sorry your son died" Well as we gave them hugs I introduced Nicole to Sister Boles. It was very silent in the room and this sweet little voice said "I'm sorry your son died." How grateful I am to Nicole for her sweet spirit.
