November Happenings

Toddler Troubles & Birthday Bashes
On the left we had a family birthday party and celebrated birthday's for these four boys 
(Erik is on Facetime on the left)! 
On the right we have a little boy who likes to stand on his piano on top of the bed and look out the window at nap time.What's a mom to do but take a picture?

Cort's 6th Birthday Bash
We had a great time taking Cort and a few of his friends to go see the movie The Secret Life of Pets at the dollar theater. We had fun with Eli, Joshua, and Nathan.

We spend the evening celebrating Cort's birthday with just our little family.

Mormon Mafia
There's this thing called Mormon Mafia. It's come about as a result of the election. 
I think my husband may be a member...
...don't tell him I know. 😉

The First Snowy Nights
There is nothing better than the first snow you get to go play in.
Kent, and the kids and I had a blast!

Life in November
Top to bottom and left to right: 1. We were shopping at Macey's and guess who we saw but Santa and he wanted to know if WE wanted of picture...we couldn't pass up that opportunity. 2. Kent teaching Marshal to drive. 3. My friend Erin was in the play Shrek the Musical so we took the big boys and went to see it. 4. The boys had a Primary activity about Book of Mormon stories. My boys told me their favorite story was of Captain Moroni. That's my boys! 5. I finally learned some good selfie taking techniques. 6&7. Cort drew a Christmas tree and told me I had to put it on Facebook because everyone will LOVE it! lol He cracks me up!

1. Couldn't pass up a beautiful sunset! 
2. Our neighborhood was affected by the Bangerter project and some of the homes were taken. Despite the sadness of losing neighbors I do have to say that seeing these homes torn down was quite an interesting experience.
3. I was at the grocery store when I saw that there would be an opportunity to see Gordon Hayward. I texted Erik about it mostly for fun and he begged me to get his signature. I made it just in time, but I am pretty sure that is one birthday gift he will not soon forget and all it cost me was a little time.
