Baptism/Family

We have had a busy couple of weeks. Braxton my nephew was baptized by my brother who was able to come in from Nebraska for the Baptism and his daughters baby blessing the next day. I am proud of Braxton for making the decision to be baptized and following the example that the Savior set for all of us. I know that as he goes throughout life that if he listens to the Holy Ghost that he will be guided in all that he does and that great things will happen. I am grateful for brothers that hold and honor their priesthood that are able to help out in times of need.
It was great to see Ty and his family and spend some time with them. Even though it was just a short time. I am greatful for my sister in law Brindee that prepared a great talk on the holyghost and came up with the ideas that she did to help Braxton understand the role of the holy ghost and when he will be able to feel the holy ghost. I am also grateful to his Aunt Tonya that prepared and gave a great talk on Baptism and the story that she shared about the holy ghost that Braxton still talks about. The talks helped him to see the importance of the decision that he made to be baptized.
I love this time of year it is great to be able to get together as family and share our love for one another. I also love the decorations and being able to drive around and look at Christmas lights. I love remembering the importance of this time of year which is the Savior and all that he has done for us. I love to be able to purchase gifts for family and those in need so that they can feel the love that I have for them and also in hopes that the gifts will remind them of the greatest gift that has been given to us which is our Savior. I am so grateful for the Savior and the many blessings that he has given to me and my family. With him all things are possible and I see great things happen daily that is made possible by the Savior.

Deer Hunt and November update

Ok, I have been home from the deer hunt for almost a month next weekend. I was able to kill this 2 point. The hunt was harder than it has been in years past. There did not seem to be as many deer as years past. We seen a few dews and fawns each day. However opening morning we did see a nice but by no means monster 3 or 4 point but we were not able to get a shot off before it disappeared and we were not able to see it after it disappeared. We did try to locate it again to see if we could get a shot but it was a no go. The deer out smarted us. The hunt was very warm and for this reason I believe the Deer just had not moved into where we hunted. They were were there was snow from the storm that came the weekend before the hunt and down in the hay fields by the main highway. I got my deer where there was still snow. It was about 20 miles away from where we normally hunt. My mom got a spike in that same area. We is my dad and me.

We had a good Halloween. Wendys kids got far more candy then they needed but they had fun. We went and tricker treated main street in American Fork and then went to our annual trunk or treat. Then to family. They all looked cute. I did not think to get pictures. Braxton was a Doctor, Bryson a Fireman, Brakell a Candy Corn Princess, and Shaylee was a princess.

November has been a crazy month. I can not believe that is is almost over and time to get ready for the Holidays. I put the lights on the house this last weekend. I can't wait to put up the village that I put up every year. I am trying to decide if I want to do it this weekend or after Thanksgiving.

Work has been going good. So far the merge that we done seems to be going well and I for some reason have not felt as stressed the last little bit.

We have had several Birthdays in November and Braxton can not wait to get baptized on the 6 of December. The whole family will be together for the baptism and we are all excited about this since it does not happen to often. He is extremely excited that Ty will be able to baptize him.

Update

I am a slacker when it comes to blogging. I guess that is what happens when you are not married and do not have to keep everyone updated on what is happening with kids and life. Today has been an interesting day. We woke up to snow in American Fork. Mom was out by Strawberry and said that they did not get any snow there and that Heber also had no snow. The boys loved playing in the snow. Brakell is all girl and says she is going to stay in the house where it is warm. I will be getting ready to go deer hunting this next weekend. I am excited for that. Due to not working for 10 days. I am hoping that we see lots of deer and that I get one this year since I did not get one last year. However I will just be glad to be in the mountains as long as my allergies do not get to bad. I enjoy my job but am definetly ready for a break. I do not like the unknown. We are in the middle of merging with another agency. My boss for the past 2 plus years is no longer there and so I have had to also adjust to a new supervision style which has been a bit tricky and different.
