This week I went to Texas to visit Emily and her family. I have to admit that being the mom helper can be an exhausting job. It was imperative that I take a nap every day just to keep up. Zach is doing great getting potty trained and is a good little talker. In fact, Zach would be a great asset to any first date because he never runs out of things to talk about. He has a great collection of cars and trains that he is happy to share with others. Quinn has been working on resisting daylight saving time. Poor little guy, it's him versus the rest of the world, but he's giving it a solid fight.


While I was in Texas we got to go to the trunk-or-treat with the ward. Zach and Quinn were both very nice to share their candy with us. Really, we were obligated to protect their teeth from cavities.



We also went to the Blue Bell Ice Cream Factory. It was fun to see all the ice cream getting squeezed into the containers, but the best part was the free scoop of ice cream at the end. This trip has inspired Ryan to review alchol flavors with me so that I don't make any more mistakes. I tried a birthday cake flavor with amaretto cream cheese frosting. I couldn't remember if amaretto was a nut or a liquor, so I decided on the first and took a bite. Clearly I was wrong. It reminds me of an incident with a rum ball... Live and learn.

Cute kids. I'm assuming they're your nephews?? Also, I really enjoyed the Spanish love song. Very funny!
Too cute! I am quite jealous that you and Emily got to have so much fun without me and my fun factory. It is good to know that great minds think alike (referring to the Halloween costumes). And speaking of rum balls...will you ever learn, Michelle??
Michelle, I love the way you write...you crack me up!! Good luck with everything on your trip!! I definately want to see India pics!!! :) Let me know if you need anything!
