Ten on Tuesday

10 small gifts we've received in the past 3 weeks
1. Getting Phantomed by friends for Halloween. So fun to watch the kids chose who they should give treats to the next week and watch them ding dong ditch. Nothing like Mr. Condon yet, but there was army crawling.
2. Visit to the Mesa Temple Visitor Center with the family and learning about Family Love.

3. Kids truly enjoying to play with their soccer teams. Meghan scored her first goal, Natalie is a great defender when not crowded by teammates (when does bunching stop) and Elena is glad she played this year and really enjoys her team mates (and assistant coach (mom)).

Natalie kicks the ball, Meghan before the game and all of our cleats after a rainy practice drying on our front porch ( a fun site to see)
4. Vern got an extra paycheck from work. No raise in 4 years, but this sure helps.
5. Corte Sierra Ward Primary Program. We had 4 kids in the program on Sunday the 23rd. They did great! So impressed with the great children and youth in our ward. We count our blessings for being able to be the same ward as them.
6. Benjamin fell asleep before the primary program. Vern and I got to watch the entire program without having to deal with a fidgety Benjamin. That was a sweet miracle.
7. I was called as YW 2nd Counselor over the Beehives in our new ward. I get to continue to work with great YW and great leaders. I do miss those that were called to the primary:(
8. Fun running friends. In 2 weeks, I am running with 3 friends - Cynthia, Kelly, and Diena in a Mud Run. Super excited to have a fun time with great friends. In February, Ragnar Del Sol 2012 is here. We had our first team meeting on Sunday. Glad to see everyone excited to run...and glad to welcome Blaine to the crazy group.
9. Grass seed and manure. It is time to reseed our lawns in AZ so we can have green grass in the spring. Our sweet neighbor reseeded his on Friday and gave us his extra stuff on Saturday morning. My green grass makes me happy. (memories of NY)
10. Pumpkins at a sweet deal. We carve pumpkins every year. It can get pricey with 5 pumpkins at $5 a pop or more. Last week in our Bountiful Baskets they had pumpkins for $3.25 and they are perfect! I love to save money and the kids did a great job carving and decorating!
