busy month!

I can't believe it is the end of November already!  26 days till Christmas and 38 days till Nathan turns 2 & I am very sad and ashamed to admit, but I am NO WHERE near ready (for either, but more meaning for Christmas!!)

We have had a very fun filled month though, 

 We ran/rode (bikes & in the stroller) in a 5K for a friend of mine from highschool, Robbie Hale.  It was perfect weather and the kids did great!

 We spent time at the park

After Thanksgiving we went to Utah with some of my family and cut down Christmas trees!  The kids had a lot of fun and we were very happy to find snow to play in!

Tommy got sick the night we got there, and spent most of the night asleep in the bathroom :( luckily we go next week to the allergist to figure out what is going on with him, cause this not being able to eat and throwing up when he does is getting old fast!

Nathan LOVED sitting in the snow watching his brothers and cousin make & throw snowballs, and of course eating the snow...the best part!!

Trick or Treat

This year for Halloween we had

a Zombie (he had a super scary mask but wasn't able to wear it for a few of the activities we had so I painted his face for those & just realized I didn't take a picture of him in his mask!)

Percy the Train

 and 

Mickey Mouse Fireman

 We had lots of fun going to school Halloween parties, parties with our friends, trick or treating at the rec center, ward trunk or treat/Halloween party and of course trick or treating!

We get a pumpkin for each kid to carve, but this year when we went to carve them one was squishy on the bottom and totally rotten inside, so we ended up with two, luckily Nathan isn't old enough to care yet!!  Tommy & Nathan decided on a boat for theirs, and David made a face (all on his own)!
