This is Derek's B-day cake. It is a chocolate cake with cream cheese swirled in it. Because of the cream cheese we didn't do frosting. He loved all the fish and turtles.

Fall
Here is a couple of videos of the boys. Derek throwing leaves and Nathan crawling around. Notice the cute hats they have on. There Great Grandma Jensen made them for them.
Daddy's Little Helpers
Here is a great video of Daddy and his boys. They love to be little helpers. It is amazing how much help they can actually be when we let them. Derek loves to throw things away. Give him a garbage sack and point out the garbage and away he goes.
Nathan's Birthday
Here is a picture of Nathan's cake. The boys love fish so I did a fish cake. As you can see I worked really hard. I want to learn how to decorate cakes, but that will have to come later. You would think with all my cooking I would know how to do that. Oh well.

Caterpillars and Stars
Here is some cute stuff from Derek:
Caterpillars: Derek and I found a Caterpillar the other day. I fuzzy little black and orange one. I showed him to Derek. I was worried he would squish it, but he surprised me. I let it crawl on his arm. He loved it. The Caterpillar would lift its little head and look around. I told Derek it wants to kiss him. Derek tried to kiss it but couldn't reach it. When it got back on my arm Derek gently leaned over and gave it a kiss as gentle as a butterfly. He touched it very gently and then helped me take it outside and told it bye bye. Isn't he sweet. I couldn't believe how gentle he was.
Stars: The other night we came home from church at 7:00 pm, yes 7:00 pm. We spend all day at church now that Jordan is in the Bishopric. I took Nathan in who was asleep. Jordan came in a couple of minutes later smiling and said "I love this boy. He is a man after my own heart" I asked what he was talking about. He said he took Derek out of the car and he looked up and saw the stars and started going on and on. He keep saying Stars and Oh Ah!!! We went back out and he was in love with the stars. It was so sweet. I only wished we lived by the mountains were we could go camping and really see the stars. He is a boy after our own hearts. What a kid.
And not to leave Nathan out, he has 3 teeth and the 4th on the way. He loves to talk gibberish. He is full of laughs and smiles. He hasn't been cuddly at all until the last week or so. He has curled up with me watching movie and has fallen asleep with his head on my chest. I just love holding him. He has always been such a wiggle worm who feel asleep only in his bed. He will also hold still and cuddle for a couple of minutes when I hold him.

Time Out For Women
I wanted to tell all of you how wonderful Time Out For Women(TOFW) is. For those of you who don't know what this is it is a program sponsored by Desert Book. You can find info. on there web page. It is a two day event that women can come to that is full of uplifting music and speakers. I attended one a couple of weeks ago in Omaha and it was wonderful. There were people there like, Jenny Oaks Baker, Kennith Cope, Cherie Call, Mary Ellen Edmund's, and others. I don't have the list of names in front of me It was a great uplifting event. It was nice to get a break from my kids. THANKS HUBBY!!!! It was nice to hear good music, visit with friend, listen to uplifting speakers, and get to know ladies in our ward better. It was great. It is well worth the money. I would encourage all of you to look into going sometime next year. They hold them all over the country. Go, and enjoy it.
Also, Jeny Oaks Baker is Elder Oaks daughter and she is wonderful. If you like violin music and classsical musical go get her CD's. Her program was the best part of the show for me.
