Fall is Here

This week we enjoyed Grandma Poulsen being here still. The kids were so excited because she made cinnamon rolls for us. I hadn't made them for awhile because I knew it would be to hard for me not to eat them when I was pregnant. They had been begging me to make them and were looking forward to me not being pregnant so that I could. We also had fun with her playing games the last night she was here and another night we walked to the park and let the kids play. She went home on Friday morning and we all miss her.
I finally got a picture of William with his eyes open. Isn't he a cutie? We are really enjoying having William in our family. We all love to hold him, listen to his cute little baby noises and see his cute faces he makes. He hardly cries at all and when he does it is very soft. He is such a good baby! Tonight we went on a walk. It was so pretty outside because all the leaves are changing colors. The kids were pretty good on our walk today. Usually Joseph complains the whole time because he can't bring his bike (I don't let him bring it on Sundays) but today they did really good once we got going. Although Grace didn't want to walk. I just had to distract her periodically and then she would forget. I was getting her to jump and hop. I was hopping and jumping with her but now I am regretting it because I am sore. I guess I shouldn't be doing that this soon after a baby.

I love the color of the leaves on this tree in our backyard.

I took all five of my kids out for the first time by myself on Friday. We went to the mall. They actually did really good. I had a gift card for Jcpenney's and we picked out a blessong outfit for William. Then I let them play in the play area for a little while. It was a nice outing. I also took them all to church by myself today and they did pretty well too. William slept for the full three hours of church and I only had to take Grace out once during sacrament meeting. I am so blessed to have such great children!
