Hunter's Preschool Field Trip

Hunter and I went to the fire station for his field trip. He has been looking forward to this since he saw Palmer go two years ago.

Ironically Hunter's best friend at preschool is the little brother of Palmer's best friend from preschool.

This year there was a surprise. They now have a dog that lives at the station. This dog is trained to find people.

The firemen were so good with the kids. They simulated the kids having to crawl through a smoke filled room.

I always like that the kids get to see the firemen in their masks and clothing. They try to help them not be afraid if they are ever trapped in a fire.

They were so interested in all of the workings of the fire truck.

This year they pulled the fire truck out of the garage.

They raised the ladder as well which they have never done before either.

They also let the kids spray the fire hose. They seriously went all out this year.

Hunter looked so cute in his fireman suit.

Happy Halloween!

                           

We had so much fun this Halloween week. We went to so many fun parties and had a ball. I will get it all posted...sometime! McKay enjoyed his first Halloween, although he still has yet to taste any candy. He was a spider and cowboy this year.

Palmer was Ron Weasley (from Harry Potter), Lincoln was Luke Skywalker, and Hunter was Peter Pan. Josh and I were cowboys.

General Conference F.H.E.

                                

The F.H.E. right before General Conference Josh was in charge of the lesson. He definitely went above and beyond. He gave a lesson about prophets and told the boys why we watch General Conference.

He gave each of the boys their own pictures of the First Presidency. They were so excited to have them and they saved them until General Conference and then watched with them.
                        

Each of the pictures had a bit of information on the back of them about each member of the First Presidency.
                            

McKay's Laughter

There are few things that anyone in the Nelson family likes better than hearing McKay laugh. We never know where the laughter is going to show up, but it is usually when we aren't expecting it. I was playing Josh Scrabble on my phone the other day and I shook it to rearrange the letters (aren't phones amazing now?) The sound made McKay laugh and at automatically everyone gathers around him to hear more of it.

                           

We really can keep doing whatever it was that made him laugh for a very long time. Poor little Hunter hits himself over and over if McKay thinks it is funny and is almost disappointed when McKay doesn't laugh any more.
