JD & Piper

These two love each other to pieces and hate each other at the same time.  They fight like crazy and they drive me crazy!  But at the same time, they are so sweet to each other, at least when they aren't trying to kill each other!

Life Lessons

 Life lessons at the Doty house!

Shooting

 Shooting with the family is a Thanksgiving tradition.

 The kids love getting to hang out with Grandpa and blow things up at the same time.

 Even Miss Piper likes to shoot.

 JD takes it all very serious.

 We shoot anything we can put out and we throw a few pigeons.

 Josh shooting the 308.

 Oh look, I do exist.  Only picture taken of me on Thanksgiving day!

 I LOVE this gun, he says.

And Piper has a hidden talent, she can stick her tongue up her nose. AWESOME!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from our crew to yours!

Thanksgiving program

 First Grade is so much fun!  Every year they do a fun little Thanksgiving day program.

Five fat turkeys are we, we slept all night in the tree.  When the cook came around we couldn't be found.  And that's why were here you see!

 She is such a cute little stink when she's happy.

 And she's cute even when she's not.  She was so mad because I wouldn't let her bring me her bonnet, instead of putting it under her seat.

Such a fun program.  They did a great job!

Piper and Adilyn

These girls!  I love them to pieces.  They play so well together and almost always get along.  They are both silly and sassy and I love when they get to play.  Two of my favorites, that's for sure!

Count Your Many Blessings

Best FHE ever!  The kids had so much fun writing down what they were thankful for!  We have everything from our family and the Jesus Christ to crossbows and elk.  So fun to hear what my kids were grateful for!

Is it really November?

Only in St. George can you get away with playing in the water in November!  Spent the afternoon playing frisbee gold and playing in the mud.  Good times!

TOFW

Got to go to TOFW this week!  I love TOFW!  I also had the neat experience of being a part of the St. George team.  So much fun!  Met a lot of fun ladies and had fun being part of such a great experience.  We laughed, we cried and we learned a ton!  John Bytheway was my favorite speaker!  And Jericho Road was awesome!  It's like the old guy, boy band for mormon women.  So funny!  I was able to have my sister and my mom come and go with me and also be able to attend with my Doty girls!  It was so much fun!

Peace

 Spent the morning at the temple with one of my favorite gals!  I was so glad to be able to go with Elisha as she took out her endowments.  A morning at the temple was exactly what I needed after this week. And what better way to start out the month of Gratitude than with a trip to the temple?

I am so grateful for Heavenly Fathers plan for us.  I am grateful for the temple and the work that is done there.  For eternal families and God's love. I felt it so abundantly today.  Hope you all have a beautiful weekend.

Halloween

 We did not have any scary costumes this year!

 Although Logans costume was awesome!  He was a beat up Justin Beiber.  Josh told him he shouldn't have worried about the make up.  He could have done it for him!

 We didn't end up waiting for everyone because we wanted to get started.  and good thing we did because it was a LONG night.

 Logan got put on Eva duty and he did great!

 We went down to Cynthia Lane, but it was way busy!  It always is, but it's still fun to see all the things they have to offer. It probably wont be to many more years before the older kiddos are ready to go hang with their friends ;(.  Sad!  I love having them with us and hope we have at least a few more years.

Halloween Parade

Love the Halloween Parade at the school!  

Always a good time!
