November 2014

Highlights of November:

Kendra decided that she didn't want her bunny anymore.  The water was freezing at night and she didn't like having to go out to the garden and give him new water each day.  We gave him away for free to a college student at Utah State where he is well loved and an indoor bunny. 

We were worried about a cold spell when it was dropping to 5 degrees for a few nights in November, so we made a shoebox house for him with carpet that we put inside his hutch. 

Carson loves carrots.  But only the kind that are huge and not peeled and washed.

One morning I woke up to this exact picture 

He also loves olives 

We gave my Dad tickets to a Collin Rae concert for his Birthday. It was a really fun concert and brought back lots of memories from my teenage years.  It was a dinner concert that was up close and cozy.  

We spent a friday night at the Dinosaur museum building things and knocking them over. 

We had a really warm November and December.  Mine and Carson's favorite past time is to ride bikes to Highland Glen park and feed the ducks.   

First snowfall of the year.  Toby and Carson had fun playing. 

I have such great ward friends.  One of them plans a monthly Moms night out.  This night we went to Texas Road house, then to Coldstone and then to a movie. 

Kendra takes her dish washing very seriously.  Of all the kids, she's the best at washing dishes. 

I taught Toby how to roll over.  I love this little puppy and sometimes hate him too.  It's been a bigger challenge than I imagined having a puppy.  He has chewed two cabinets, 2 barstools, a hole in the carpet, many baseboards, chewed the back door and scratched the heck out of our front door.  He's put holes in most of our socks and chewed lots of toys and shoes.  I've almost sold him a few different times and actually had him sold once and backed out at the last minute.  I just couldn't part with him.  I know he'll grow out of the chewing phase.  It's already getting better.  We also bought a wireless fence so he can run and play free outside which is really nice and relieves some of the burden. 

Playing Nertz at my Mom's house.  A common occurence. 

We rented these little animal scooters at the Provo Town Centre mall.  The girls rode them all over the mall.  It was a riot. 

Maleah went to St. George with my Mom.  They went to the Sawyer Brown concert. 

Thanksgiving with the Wall Family. 

This was the first time in my married life that my Grandma has joined us for Thankgiving at the church.  It was pretty neat to have her there. 

Carson made a concoction of tomatoes and lemonade and who knows what else. 

Playing volleyball.  Lots and lots of volleyball.

After eating pie at my Grandma's house on Thanksgiving, I let Aubree and Maleah go home with my Mom to go black Friday shopping.  This is them sitting outside of Best Buy at midnight, waiting to buy a TV.

These little hoodlums thought that Thanksgiving break meant they could stay up until midnight every night.  Here they are, thinking they were going to start a movie at 10:15 p.m.  We compromised on a 1 hour tv show :)

Aubree 9, Kendra 7, Maleah 12 

We babysat Wilson (my Dads dog) for 5 days. He is litter box trained.  We caught Carson peeing in the littler box one day.
