November is a very crazy month for us!! We had Brooke and Rhead's 4th Birthday! Then Justin and I celebrated our 8 ANNIVERSARY! Then we had Thanksgiving! It was a great month and I can't believe we are already in December!
Our family is sure enjoying our new (rental) home! We love being close to our cousins and the school! We ride our bikes EVERY DAY! Every day! It is so wonderful. The kids love it. I think it is the highlight of their day as we all take Carden to school! We love to watch Carden go into his class and turn in his folder and put his back pack up! Brooke and Rhead are really getting ready for school. They are trying so hard to learn their numbers, letters, and even want to read! They enjoy reading books at night with Daddy. They love to help in the kitchen whenever possible! They sure to love being involved in everything Justin and I do!
Brooke loves the pillow Nana brought her! She even has been taking naps since it is so comfy and cozy!
Brooke is loving her Primary class. She enjoys singing and giving the prayers. Rhead is quite my singer! He actually knows most of the primary songs and will sing them quietly by himself. Brooke on the other hand likes to belt the songs at the top of her lungs!
Brooke and Rhead are always willing to serve! They wanted to walk these cute owl brownies all the way down the street to give to their cousins! I had to make 70 of these owls for the YW in EXCELLENCE!!! That is right I am in the YW's!! I have had about 3 callings in less than 6 months! I went from RS teacher to YW secretary to now the BEEHIVE adviser!! I am enjoying my new calling. I have never been in YW so it is fun and new!
Rhead enjoys playing with his younger cousin MAX!! He likes to tell him what to do and be the BIGGER COUSIN! They love to ride around the neighborhood and play in the kitchen.
Brooke REALLY wanted a pinata for her Birthday so we got this BLUE (of course) Car!
The kids enjoyed hitting it!!! Bashing!! We had Grandma and Grandpa and the van Beevers over. Brooke and Rhead wanted IN-N-OUT! We then came home for pinata and cupcakes!
I enjoy going and working in Carden's classroom. I know almost all the kids in his class. Three of them (all boys) live on our STREET!!! Most of them were on his soccer team! It is nice being able to feel really close to the kids in his class.
Carden loves school. He enjoys everything! He never complains or tattles his teacher said. He is always kind. He is alreay doing 1st grade sight words! This boy has a great MEMORY! He is even on his last Article of Faith! He is ready to graduate primary now!!!
This was the class Thanksgiving party. They had a picnic outside!
Thanksgiving was spent at home! We had the Mosleys, Nana and Larry, and Grandpa and Grandma over!!
We played at the park by our house. Making tunnels for the kids to go through.
Boys were in charge of making turkeys while watching football!! Justin was in charge! Luke made about 8 turkeys!! The other boys all made one!!
The girls stayed at Hayley's house and we did jewelry. The girls loved it!!
Then we had a game of soccer. The boys were sure rough. We played boys against girls. Poor girls were in tears.
The highlight of Rhead's Thanksgiving was driving home!!! Haa haa!! Love his face.
Uncle Will did the turkey and we did the ham. It was all very delicious!
The table!
The cousins!
The talent!! We had a small talent show with singing, dancing, piano solos, and reciting.
FOUR GENERATIONS!!!
me and my FIRST cheese cake!!! It was soooo good! (used my college roommates recipe thanks Ashley Hall Clark!)
Carden enjoyed driving home as well but took it more seriously!!
To end the month we got our tree up!!! The kids love putting on the ornaments and singing Christmas songs!
Sure to love being a MOM!!! even though most days I feel like Cinderella doing dishes, the laundry, washing windows and floors.... Luckily I love to CLEAN!
