Gingerbread house

We finally got around to family night, Ben's had finals this week, so it's been hectic for him. I told Luke when Dad got home we could build a house. As soon as Ben walked in the door, Luke led him to the kitchen. Luke didn't know what the house building was all about, but he was sure excited about it. The house fell apart, but the kids loved it anyways.

Tub Time

If I try to put Luke in the tub without Abbie, he says "Abbie's coming! Abbie's coming!" Meaning, get Abbie in here now! If I try to put Abbie in the tub without Luke, Luke just strips down and jumps on in. Now that Abbie splashes Luke back instead of crying, those two have a grand old time. It's fun to see them play together. I can already see that Luke's going to be a good big brother. He gets Abbie a toy when we're going somewhere, he holds her drink in the car while she takes a sip, and he always wants " loves " from Abbie. I love seeing these kids grow, they're so much fun.

Elder Brent W. Jenkins

My little brother, Brent, received his mission call tonight! He will be serving in the Cambodia mission, and it also covers Vietnam. We are all so excited! He didn't get much warning, he leaves on January 9th, just under two months. I know Brent will be a humble servant of the Lord to the people of Cambodia. He is such a special young man, We love him and we are so happy for him.

GO CHARGERS!

We have some die hard Charger fans in this family.  They all looked so good in their Chargers gear, I'm sure that's why the Chargers won last night.  Luke's saying, "smile" in the picture, he so funny!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was fun this year with our little Piglet and Buzz Lightyear! We went to a trunk or treat with cousins, Dawson and Fisher, Aunt Courtney and Grandma Sharla. Luke got the hang of it real fast, he wasn't shy about getting his candy. He held out his basket said trick or treat, a hurried thank-you and then zoomed off to the next car.

Later we walked around a few Aunt and Uncle's homes, then had dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins. Luke disappeared during dinner, so I went to find him and caught him in front of a full length mirror checking himself out. Grandpa had been watching, and said Luke had been admiring himself for quite a while.
