November

This is how most of the pictures went.....Nathan was either a blur or making a silly face. :)

Excited to go play in the snow fort Scott made. :)

She got a stocking painted on her face. :) She suffered through a stranger touching her for it. It was pitiful to watch.

Lily and I went to a Christmas Tree Festival with Gramma and Papa. This was right up Lily's alley because she got to look at pretty trees and do CRAFTS. :)

Lily and Avonlea. :)

The children enjoying falling snow. :)

Nathan Baby

Lily Rosey

Jakey Bootsey

My "personal assistant" in every way. What would I do without my sweet girl?! I would surely forget the small things. She remembers all the details and even double checks everything when we are in the car leaving because she knows I forget SOMETHING. Lily writes ALL upcoming events on her calendar and talks about them SEVERAL times a day. Sooo funny! :)

The turkey turned out. whew! ;) My mom (dad working) and Amy and family came for Thanksgiving dinner. Things must have go busy because these are my only 2 pics of the day.

three little........sillies :)

two little........

One little.....

More rice table fun. :) It sure keeps him busy. :)

Jammies from Gramma for the annual jammie picture. :) See Riley peeking in? :)

I love how the kiddos are watching so closely. :)

Happy birthday to Papa. :)

Gabey. :)

Micah and Nathan. :)

They had great seats. :)

Jakey and Mimi. Jake LOVES this sweatshirt from Mimi. :)

One of Scott's customers gave him tickets for a local college basketball game. Mimi and Jake went too and they all loved it. Jake tells me he now has two new traditions in his life.....basketball games with Mimi and Dad and fishing with Poppy. :) Poppy took Jake fishing and he LOVES it. :) He got wonderful pictures, I just can't get them to upload into my pictures without being tiny. I am sorry I can't share them.

One of Lily's favorite things is to make cards. Especially for the neighbors and leave them on their porch. :)

Okay! Now look at this!!!!!! This picture was taken November 8th! This DELIGHTFUL tree blooms late fall and early spring. I am in love with it and want to plant some in our yard. It just kept blooming for WEEKS. :) Soooo pretty! :)

oil with water and salt with water experiment. :)

See little Nathan peeking under the books? Those are hollowed out egg shells and then we kept adding books until it crumbled. Quite impressive how strong they are! If I would have spent more time making them even, it would have held a lot more. Fun to watch. :)

Jake LOVED diving for some diving toys. I need to pick some of those up next summer. :) Speaking of next summer, it will be so fun to have all 3 children swimming lesson age. Nathan will love it! :)

Jordan turn FIVE! :) We had fun celbrating with him at a swimming party. :)

Jake and Mister Justin. How I love this fellow! He means so much to Jake! :)

Half way to Black Belt! :) Papa came to the belt cermony and then we went to a used book store and then to ice cream. :) It was fun. :)

Nathan HAD to pose with Jake's poster too. :)

I love that Jake knows he is loved by God! :)

Here is a creation poster Jake made for Awana. :)

Nathan in his cute duckie jammies from Auntie Kathy. :)

"Dad" night at Awana Sparks. In this case it is "Poppy" night. :) Oh how Lily loves her Poppy! :)

Jake, it's time to clean up your legos. ;) I take "before" pictures so he can see the progress. :)
