Meeting an Apostle

A few weeks ago we got the unbelievable opportunity to meet with Elder Neil Anderson of the Twelve Apostles. We flew up to SLC for the day and decided to see the Joseph Smith movie at The Joseph Smith Memorial Building before our meeting with Elder Anderson. We all thought the show was unbelievable and were touched by the spirit strongly. It ended up being the perfect lead in to our perfect day! Than we went and had lunch at the Garden Room on the top floor of The Joseph Smith Memorial Building. What a beautiful view!

Finally we made it to our destination of Elder Anderson's office at The Administration Building on the 4th floor. We had to wait in the lobby for a short time before seeing him and we all were in awe of it's beauty. Finally we were called up to meet him. Our 1 hour meeting turned into 2 and it was an experience I will never forget! He truly is an amazing man and really healed us with his words. His final words to us were "were friends now so come and see me anytime your in SLC." We will be taking him up on that!

Brock celebrated his 29th birthday on November 11th! We got the whole family together and went to Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay. I made him his favorite Red Velvet Cake and he got some great gifts (mostly mountain biking gear)! Brock is a perfect husband and a wonderful dad. He is our kids hero! Happy Birthday Hun!

Halloween

On Halloween night we had a delicious dinner at The Krahenbuhl's that consisted of chili, cornbread, carmel popcorn, 7 layer dip, artichoke dip, salad and some yummy cupcakes that my mom brought! After dinner we got the kids dressed and headed over to Anthem Country Club to go trick-or-treating. One of the neighborhoods always goes all out on the decorations and themes. Their theme this year was Hollow High School.

Grandpa Jim got Jax a vampire binky and he loved it!
The kids with Grandma Kayleen. Joe was a blue power ranger, Hailey and Peyton were witches, Sally was a butterfly and Jax was a fire man!
Isn't he so cute!!
