Hi!  I just love pictures.  I was going through the whole year of pictures we've taken and they are so fun.  I bought a frame on Black Friday that has 11 picture slots. I was trying to decide which pictures to put in the frame.  There are too many to choose.  These are the last of November's pictures.

Here Tally is doing the 5 month old balancing trick.  Our kids are so talented (wink, wink)

Our 5 gems

My dear friend from childhood - Becky.  She and her family drove from Texas to visit Utah.  It was so fun catching up.

Story Time:  Tuesday before Thanksgiving we left super early for our much anticipated trip to Montana.  I was dozing off, everyone else was listening to Roscoe Riley book on CD, suddenly SLAM, bump, bump - dead deer!  We had hit a good sized buck.  Our car was smoking and dripping fluid.  Our trip was over - in the middle of no where.  We were  by Downy, Idaho.  We were able to get off the freeway to a Truck stop.  There we stayed for several hours as we coordinated how to get home.  Long story short we stayed in Logan for Thanksgiving.  The bad situation turned out to be ok.  Some very nice people towed our Suburban home for a small charge.  I'm so thankful for the protective care of angels and that we were driving a Suburban.  If we would have been in something else that buck would've been through the windshield. That is why I now drive a red Suburban.

Life

I just want to post something!  It is half way through November already, what just happened here??  Time is flying.  Many times I go though my day and I'll have something happen or I'll think of something very creative and think I should blog that then it goes away by the time I have a minute to post and I'm completely lost for something to blog about when I get to blog.  Get it? 

I have been sorting and de-cluttering the children's rooms. I have pulled piles of stuff out of those rooms. It feels good to have clean and tidy closets and toy bins. 

We have an action packed next couple of days.  Family pictures, more cleaning, jr basketball game, service ptojects, slc, guest from out of town, dentists appt to name a few things.  We did just celebrate Seth's 7th bday.  I need to get the pictures off of Tom's phone.  In the mean time here are two cousins who love hanging out together.  Tally is 4 months and Isaiah is 3 months in this picture.  They are darlings!
