NOVEMBER Happenings

Our neighbors threw a pumpkin smash party on the day after Halloween. It was so fun! There were science experiments, pumpkin throwing, pumpkin baseball etc. 




Check out that view!


Finally getting her cast off!


Before on the right, after on the left. Can you spot the fracture?



These boxing matches are getting even more entertaining to watch :)


Outside hang outs and The Dinosaur Museum with Eloise and Macey! We're so lucky to have some girl cousins so close to Gracie! And we also love the boy cousins too :-)



The weather in November was unreal! SO warm!



Tree Halloween Party! 











Again with the force and the garage. It cracks me up haha


Crazy hair day at school - we went blue and green this time, although its hard to tell



Ellie finally got her cast off and got to play basketball!


Boston had Temple & Priesthood Preview. I can't believe he'll be in Young Mens! I got to make the refreshments :)


Boston wanting to be with Dad no matter what he's doing :)


And Gracie...


And his birthday buddy Eloise! We took another trip to the zoo with our other cousins! Gracie loves the zoo!







We never know what Jeffrey will be wearing when he gets home from school. He ran away before I could get a better shot


We went and chopped a CRAP load of wood at the Tree's. I'm pretty sure if I swung an ax like that once a week, it would do wonders for my mental health ;) Maybe not so much my physical health though. And we celebrated Jaden's birthday.


Boston and Ellie getting ready for braces


I can't remember what happened here - all i know is Ellie and Rylee lost their privilege to sit at the table haha


Jeff butchered this poor turkey and chopped its whole backbone out. It was quite the surgery.


Thanksgiving in Hurricane with the Tree's! We played pickleball any chance we could get, we went out for pizza, swam in the freezing cold and rain, did diamond art and hair tinsel, sat in the hot tub, played games, and had a great time!




I was getting ready for Thanksgiving, and reached up to pull a platter off a top shelf. I didn't realize there was a heavy pan on top of it, so when I grabbed the platter, the heavy pan slid off and hit me right in the face. It hurt SO bad. I don't think i've ever taken a hit to my face so hard before. All of my teeth started to ache and I most definitely saw stars. Thank goodness for makeup, am i right?








We had been eyeing this tote goat for Boston for his birthday (plus years of earning it by hard work babysitting etc) and they just happened to have it in stock at a store here in Hurricane, so we were able to pick it up! 



Cute matching dresses for church!


They had a pacman game in the kids room. It was pretty popular!





Ellie and her friend Harper performing their class Christmas song for me. They sang James Penguin and got to wear cool glasses. They are so cute!


Rylee cut her hair. I'm seriously so angry about it haha. But I can't get over this picture ahaha
