Trained to Clean the Potty!





I guess Jace got sick of the dust left on his potty so he decided to clean the blasted thing.  We try but I guess he just isn't interested in his potty the way we would like him to be.  At least he likes it clean!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACEY!







Last saturday was Jace's 2nd birthday.  We had a party at our house and all of Jace's friend came and played.  It was Gracie Youngs 2nd birthday as well as Jake Richards 27th so we celebrated all together.  We also want to wish a late happy birthday to Ethan Sorensen who also had a bithday on the 10th of November.  We miss you Ethan and we hope you had a special day.  At the birthday party for Gracie, Jace and Jake we had cake and ice cream and since we all didn't want to be hungry for swimming we had little ceazars pizza.  Daddy attempted to make balloon animals for the kids as well as some pretty creative balloon hats.  After we opened gifts for the two kids we went to the sportplex for a little pirate swimming.  At the sportplex they have a pirate ship water slide, a rope swing, and a diving board.  We would like to thank Kevin Calder for his great entertainment on the diving board.  Hope your color comes back!  To end the day we hung out in our nice warm home while it snowed 1 to 2 inches out side.  Our first Nova Scotia snow!  Jace had a great day and we want to thank all of you who made it such a special day for him.

FEEDING MISSIONARIES

Jake and Jace with the Elders:  Elder Case, Folsom, Maughan, and Cunningham

One thing we love in Nova Scotia is feeding the missionaries!   It was a sad week though because Elder Cunningham is leaving us.  Jake is assistant ward mission leader and he said that he will miss Elder Cunningham a lot.  He was a good Elder as all of the Elders we have here are.

HURRICANE NOEL

SOME HOW THE HURRICANE MANAGED TO KEEP THESE PUMPKIN SCARECROWS UP BUT BLOW DOWN TREES BY THE MASSES!
AS SOME OF YOU ALREADY KNOW WE HAD A HURRICANE HERE IN NOVA SCOTIA.  IT WAS A LITTLE SCARY BUT WE ALL LIVED AND THERE WAS VERY LITTLE DAMAGE AROUND OUR COMMUNITY.  WE DID SEE A TREE THAT CRASHED DOWN ON A CAR, A DRIVEWAY COVERED WITH WASHED UP ROCKS, AND A CAR STUCK IN THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT HAD BEEN HIT WITH A FEW WAVES.
THIS IS AROUND 11:00 AND THE WAVES WERE STARTING TO DIE DOWN.  THEY SAY THEY REACHED UP TO 40+ FEET HIGH.
THIS IS THE DRIVEWAY THAT GOT COVERED WITH ROCKS.  THE WINDS WERE AMAZING AND THE RAIN CAME DOWN HARD.  THE POWER WAS OUT PRETTY MUCH EVERYWHERE EXCEPT OUR HOUSE (WE WERE LUCKY).  THEY EVEN CANCELLED CHURCH BECAUSE OF THE POWER OUTAGE.  SINCE CHURCH WAS OUT WE DECIDED TO GO FOR A DRIVE WITH OUR FRIENDS JOSH AND JULIA BLAKENEY.  IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE IT OVER WITH!
