I was sent to Time Out.

At the first of November my mom sent me to Time Out! I don't think that has happened since I was a kid, and boy was it nice! We spent the weekend at a conference put together by Deseret Book called Time Out for Women. We listened to great music, exceptional speakers and just enjoyed each others company without the interruptions that come with a 7, 5 and 1 year old. I am grateful I had a chance to renew and think about my many blessings. Thanks mom, I love you.

Addie's First Haircut

I can't believe I forgot to post this... On October 23, 2009 my baby received her first haircut. Does this mean she isn't a "baby" anymore? Please say no, because I don't know if I could handle it if she wasn't.

Last trip to the park...

In the middle of November we made our last trip to the park for the season. We heard the weather was going to get a lot colder in those next few days, so we called our cousins and headed to the park. The weather was cloudy and warm, perfect for capturing their joy! I love my kids so much they bring me just what I wrote above Joy, Delight, Glee and Happiness.

Raining Leaves

Wrestling

We added another sport in our fall line up. Wrestling!! This is a sport Gavin and I knew NOTHING about. The first meet, Gavin walked in and said "I don't think I have ever been to a wrestling match in my life!" Good thing we had a few people like the Frei's, the Terry's and Uncle Garrett to follow around so we didn't look completely confused! The boys did great all season, they learned a few moves, and really liked it. It taught them to never give up, and it made them rely totally on themselves. It was a fun season, they even came home with some 1st place metals! Way to go boys!

FHE Farm Style

The first Monday in November we had the Nowatzki family meet us at the farm. It was a fun night full of feeding cows, chasing chickens, roping, and best of all riding on the tractor. After it got dark we headed to our house for dinner and a lesson. It was a great night, spent with a great family!

Preston's Early Christmas!

On the night of Halloween, Garrett and Aubrey stopped by our house to give Preston a set of his very own lefty golf clubs. I don't know who was more excited, Garrett or Preston?! Both had really big grins on there faces. This all started back in the summer when Garrett and Gavin took the boys golfing one afternoon, and Preston had to use the backwards because he was left handed. Then Garrett found some tiny club at the Country Club and decided to get them for him. (Good thing Garrett picks the range to help his golfing habit! Because he has a really big savings account at the Proshop!) I told Garrett when he said that he was ordering them for Preston that he should wait and give them to him at Christmas, but he said "he couldn't wait that long!" I can't wait for when he has kiddo's of his own and has to keep their presents a secret. It will kill him!) We are really thankful for Uncle Garrett and Aunt Aubs. It was such a nice gift for Preston. Thanks again guys!
