November graditudings and family

November was full of birthdays, family and food. We had a great month. 

My puppy sometimes acts like a baby and needs me to hold him.  Usually when I'm cooking or helping the kids with piano.  Its pretty funny and sometimes maybe disturbing?!

Ethan ran for Judge at school for Ameritown.  Here's on of his posters. 

Triston having fun blowing bubbles in science at school. 

Sweet puppy with his new Christmas sweater. 

Friends forever. Alex, Beckham, Matthew and Triston. 

Our second attempt at family pictures after the first ones in Clarkston didn't really turn out well due to wind. But, I love these kids so much. They are my reason for living. I would do anything for them. 

Grateful I have a wonderful daughter 

Oh my heart, these boys. 

My awesome, little, crazy family.  

This years graditudings! It's so much fun for me every year to see what everyone is grateful for. 

We went to Clarkston for Thanksgiving this year. It was great. Spent the actual day with Travis's cousin Macall and her family.  The kids got to play with the Arnold's. We took plenty of trips to Logan and we just had a great time in Cache Valley.

Grandma Wood and the kids. 

We got to have lunch with Carol and Karen.  It was wonderful to see them both and to remember my mom.  We took them to Maddox.  Yummy. 

Thanksgiving at the Smith's was fun.  Filled with cousins, trampolines, dogs, horses, guns and yummy food.  I brought Wiley down at the end and he ended up locking us out of our car. So we even got to call and get someone to rescue us and our dog!

Our attempt at family pictures. Too much sun and wind! But, cute kids nonetheless.

We spent another wonderful day with Diana and Gary and their sweet puppies.  My kids all cried when we left their house.  They each wanted to take a puppy home.  We had a great afternoon with our wondeful family. 

Wiley is a great traveler. 

Beautiful world we live in. 

Basketball continues on!

Kedzie at Young Women in Excellence

Kedzie has gotten involved in the science club at school and her egg survived the drop! So fun to watch her learn and grow. 

Bronco Blood Drive 2017. I wasn't allowed to give blood because my heart rate was too high for some reason but Jill and Betsy pulled through.  We had a fun day together. Hanging out at the stadium and finishing up with lunch at chic-fil-a.  I have some great friends. 

Alex took a little nap in the closet! 

Kedzie's awesome Young Women leader came to see her in her district orchestra concert. We love Angela.

Another season comes to an end for Colombia! 

And for team Germany. 

Grateful for all the things my kids are learning in sports and for the energy they put out in practice and games.  They are so much fun to watch. 

My beautiful girl going to a school dance. 

Braces for this one at age 8! All four kids are getting treatment now from Dr. Bohman. But, they're all going to have beautiful teeth when it's all over.
