November

Our November when by in a blur! 

SJ finished up Cross Country with Sage Middle School and was asked to join a Cross Country Club. He had a lot of fun and really pushed himself. He had a regional meet on the 12th, which he took 16th place in. He ran soo fast!

The following weekend, AJ, BJ, SJ and IJ entered the Turkey Trot. This was a 4 person, relay race. We were really proud of all of them! They really enjoyed it.

For Thanksgiving, we headed over to Rexburg, to spend it with AJ's family. We stopped off at my sister, Erin's house for a few days first. We had so much fun! We love spending time with them. We had a great Thanksgiving with AJ's family. We had such a relaxing, enjoyable time. I also had a great birthday!

 Luke wrote this in school,after our Thanksgiving Break. I love how he spelled Erin Rebecca!

We did have a scare! I accidentally turned on a stove burned under a Pyrex pan and it exploded! I was standing right next to the stove when it happened and my knuckle got cut up by one of the flying glass shrapnel. By the time AJ walked into the kitchen, the shortbread that had been in the pan was on fire, there was glass EVERYWHERE and I was dripping blood everywhere. It took us over an hour to clean up the mess and we were finding glass shards for weeks! We were really lucky that the boys weren't in the kitchen at the time or that I didn't receive more damage.

SJ and AJ were in the Boise Christmas Run today. SJ took 2nd place in his age division! (There were about 100 kids in that division.) We love that he has found something that boosts his confidence and that he enjoys.

We are really excited for Christmas! Through out the break, we will get to see all of my sisters and their families! We have not seen Megan, Annemarie, Lucy and her 2 little ones since May and we have not seen Lucy's husband for 1 1/2 years. I LOVE Christmas time!
