Fall Festivities 2012

We had a busy fall with Ike going into the 3rd grade, Sabrina starting Kindergarten and Autumn starting joy school. We attended the Brigham City Temple open house which was amazing. The kids really enjoyed it, especially the Celestial room, their eyes were as big as diamonds and the girls kept saying "we want to go back to the sparkly room". We attended our Regional conference at the conference center, which was an experience the kids thought it was cool when General Conference came a couple of weeks later and they could say they had been there. We also got a couple of new family pets. They were given to us by our neighbor's daughter and what seemed to be like a good idea turned out to be more of a hassle. We soon learned that rabbits can be difficult pets especially when both are males and they are not neutered. They came to us about 6 months of age, and we found it difficult to get them out to play with. When we were able to get them out, they would hop out of their playpen cage and we would chase them between our field and the neighbor's field and numerous times we were surprised they didn't get eaten by the neighbor's dogs. About Thanksgiving we were thankfully able to find a new home for our furry friends. The kids were a bit disappointed but were grateful to not have to feed them anymore especially when the snow started to come. The pictures of Tessa with the rabbits, whose names by the way were Rover Rabbit, and Honey Bunny were just too cute to pass up. Tessa kept climbing in the cage and we couldn't decide if she thought she was rabbit or just liked being caged up. Next pet we hope to get will be a dog :).
