May the force be with you

"There has been a disturbance in the force. The Jedi heard you were in the need of some assistance. The Jedi council got together with your ward members and made little light sabers to aid you in your fight. Each light represents a prayer said for you. Prayers are the most powerful force that we have to use and it will help you. The force is strong with you. May the force be with you!"

The people in our neighborhood got together and put light sabers (glow sticks) in our yard. There were a lot of people that came out to help and it was a suprise for Davin as he opened the door and had jedi standing on his doorstep giving him this message from the Jedi.


 

Davin and Liam got their snow clothes on and went and played in the snow and looked at all the glow sticks. At the church after they had wookie cookies and yoda soda for everyone who came to help with the glow sticks and our neighbors even brought the boys some. We have some great neighbors and it has made this whole situation a lot easier with all of their love and support!


 

One of our neighbors even wrote an article about it and it was in the paper. If you want to go read the story here is the link http://www.southvalleyjournal.com/pages/full_story/13581/May-the-Force-be-with-young-Davin /#.UOy7xh6Fauc.email

Halloween

This year for Halloween we decided to go pick pumpkins from a pumpkin patch. It was lots of fun but a little overwhelming because there were sooooooo many pumpkins to choose from, plus it was freezing cold.

 
The night after we went to the pumpkin patch Holly and Tyson came over and we all carved pumpkins. It was lots of fun and a lot of work. Tyson helped Liam who couldn't decide what to carve on his pumpkin. After a while they decided to do a dino and Tyson drew a dino for him and carved it into the pumkin. He really liked it and it was so perfect for him. We ran out of time for Chad to carve his and he ended up carving his a couple of nights later. He wanted to do something cool because they were having a contest at work. The picture he chose was a hand coming out of the ground in a graveyard and we also put dry ice in the pumpkins which made them look really cool.



 


On Halloween Derek and Andi came and went trick or treating with us. It was lots of fun and we had a lot more houses to go to this year. Our neighborhood is growing really fast. Both boys had a lot of fun and after we went up and down two streets they were done and ready to go home. Davin was dressed up like Captain Rex from Clone Wars, Liam was Pooh Bear and I dressed up as Alice from Alice in Wonderland.
