November Festivities

Honestly. I don't know why I blog anymore. It used to be for the solid reason my grandparent were on a mission and they would read it & see pictures of our life. 

Now that I have family all close by I'm more of a slacker. But… I still get my blog turned into books. So I need to stay some what on top of it. Maybe i'll just try the month to month thing for now.

November 10th. Baby girl hit 8 months. Man time is flying with her.

Novemeber 12th Baby bro turned 22! Crazy. We celebrated by going to Buffalo Wild Wings & Bowling. 

 

Went and visited Grandpa & Grandma Cottle. They just got home from a trip to Jerusalem & other cool places. This picture is of an oil lamp dated back from Christ's time. Amazing! 

Kim came to stay at my Mom's so we went to Taco Amigo a few times and hung out. We also attended a few of Cj's Basketball games. 

Baby Cousin Kate arrived safe and sound! We went to go visit her! 

My friend had twin the same day & I stopped to hold them! 

Thanksgiving this year was with the Extended Warburton side. Always fun to get all together and EAT! and sleep...

 

 

Random night out. Decided to stop at the Creamery! mmm!!!!

This little man Loves to get his haircut. Hopefully it isn't a phase.  Happy Baby Sis!

Day after Thanksgiving we decided to see Santa. Ryker still isn't very fond of him. And Afton didn't know what was going on. 

Traditions… My mom gives us ornaments every year after thanksgiving. 

The Saturday after Thanksgiving my Aunt Sonia's Family always goes and cuts down a real tree in Spring City (down south) 

We have been before. And loved it. I decided we would do it again with the kids. We had a blast! It was a nice sun shinny day which made it awesome!

 

 

Disney on ice

A couple weeks ago. Ryan decided we should go to Disney on ice. Cause Ryker is obsessed with Mickey and Minnie and goofy... Ect... {he can name them all} 

So I bought tickets. Ry ended up with a hurt back the day before :( which was a bummer. So he was replaced by NaNa. Lucky us! I wouldn't have been able to do it with out her! 

It was so much fun. Ryker LOVED it! 

So fun. Sis did pretty well. And watched a lot if it. Thanks mom for coming! 

Being a mom is tough work. All though there are the perks. As of late these two take naps about the same time. Which is quite nice. We all 3 get in the rocking chair. Crazy?i know.  And I find myself thinking "hurry, what can I do?" Ha. Usually don't get much done and maybe take a nap myself. Oops. 

7 months.

Geeze time. Slow down. I feel like the days go by slow at times. And the weeks fly. And so do the months. Loving this crazy girl. 

I finally got her to take a bottle. She's got to be hungry tho. She's a good mush eater. Super giggly. Makes her own schedule of 3 naps and it works great! She's starting to interact with Ryker and it's been fun to watch them play together. I'm excited for Christmas this year. 

Dates.

 

Sometimes all you need is a little break. Its amazing how much better it will make you feel to have those few minutes together. 

I feel like it has been eternity since we went on a date. Just us. 

Love this man & I'm super grateful for him!

Halloween Day. We went trick or treating down Lehi Main. Then stopped in at Amberlies for some scrumptious soup bread bowls. And made our way to Walkers in Pg. Ryker loved trick or treating & would tell everyone he got candy from "Thank you so much". Cutest thing ever. (good work dad!)
