Other Happenings in November

We had lots of things going on during the month of November.  Here are a few of the highlights.

My brother-in-law Rob got married to the cutest girl, Laura!  My nephew, Clint and Laura's son Josh were the best men!  They were very good lookin in their suits.

Lela, Tristin and Jessica were the flower girls for their dad's wedding.  Blakley was convince that they were princesses.  She loved following them around all night.  

My three boys and their friend Carson signed up for the kids cross-fit class.  It was fun to see the how much they improved during the course of two months.  They all were able to do more sit-ups, push-ups, burpees, pull-ups and jump-ups then before they started :)  Way to go buff dudes!

Troy made the Honor Roll for the second quarter!  He was one point off from making Principals list. So Close!  He is such a hard worker at school.  Looks like it pays off too.

Great Job Troyster!

We went and saw two of our favorite friends in the play "Suessical the Musical." Maddie played the lead role as Cat in the Hat.  Max played Horton the Elephant.  They did GREAT!

We celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday with dinner at my parent's house.  Everyone loves Terra so much.  She is such a sweetheart and would do anything for anyone.  She is gorgeous inside and out. 

My mom hosted Thanksgiving at her house this year.  

It was yummy as ever!

Shane and Emily announced that they were prego that day!  They had their kids come in the house wearing shirts that said "Baby #4 Due 8*3*14"  What a perfect thing to celebrate on Thanksgiving!  Since then we have found out that they are having a girl.  YAY!! I can't wait till baby girl gets here.

Diamond Fork Hot Springs

Back in October, we went hiking with our good friends, Scoob, Rachel and Carlos.  They took us on an awesome hike.  A hike that my kids loved! yay! We hit the Diamond Fork (Fifth Water) Hot springs trail up Spanish Fork Canyon.  I usually don't like to hike with my kids because I don't like to hear them whine about getting tired (especially Blakley).  I usually leave the hiking to Clint and the boys.

The weather was perfect and the leaves were gorgeous!!

  

Blakley did get a little tired towards the top of the hike but lucky for her she had lots of adults that took turns holding her.  Spoiled Rotten!

Once we hiked to the top, we got to enjoy the hot springs.  The kids were in HEAVEN and didn't want to get out of the warm water.  I was so thankful that Scoob, Rachel and Carlos were smart enough to take their swimsuits because Clint and I spaced packing ours;)  

I am so thankful for friends that love the outdoors and invite us to go places with them.  I swear if it was up to Clint and I, we would become couch potatoes and never leave the house.  BORING!

LoViN' oUr CaBiN tImE!

Clint and I went on our 2nd annual trip to Island Park with some of our friends. Just adults, no kiddos. YEA!! And like always we had a ton of fun! Thanks Em and Dave for the trip!

On Friday, we went into West Yellowstone for some shopping and of course there was some goofing off!

Then off to Yellowstone Park. It is a whole new experience going though Yellowstone without kids in the car. When we were there a couple of years ago, all my kids wanted to do was see animals and go to Old Faithful. That's it. We missed out on so many things.

This time, we stopped and saw some really cool geysers.

We hiked to Fairy Falls.

Saw some animals.... Too bad we only stop to take pictures of this elk:)

On Saturday, we rented some canoes and went down the river.

What a chill day!

And look what we saw in the river...... A MOOSE!! We realize now that we were really close to it and probably weren't very safe, but it was so cool.

We on our way home, we went to Mesa Falls. This place is so pretty.

And of course, we had to take a group picture in front of the cabin before we said our goodbyes to it till next year!

We came home to our bedroom full of pictures made by our kids.

Carter was so proud of his! He drew a picture of himself wearing his PC FLYERS (Sandlot's a new favorite movie around here).

So good to know the kids missed us enough to draw some pictures:)
