Turkey Fun...

Estin was such a great helper making turkeys!!! We had so much fun together (while Eli and Keaton were sleeping)... I love having one on one time with my boys!!!

Gobble...Gobble...Gobble...

I can't help but smile when I see his turkey creation!

My 31st Birthday!!

I LOVE Birthdays! I take after my Grandma Nelson and choose to celebrate ALL month!!! What a FUN day!!! This is what I woke up to (as well as balloons, streamers and a Happy Birthday banner!) I mentioned to Justin how I would love a more "authentic" looking stable for my nativity set... He went above and beyond by using the wood from my childhood treehouse (we had to tear it down at my Grandmas this summer) and a few fence posts from the white picket fence my Grandad built.

Since Justin had school all day, we had banana cream pie for breakfast! :)

...as you can see, the boys liked it!!

Some of my sisters and my Mother in Law took me to Olive Garden for lunch after getting a massage at Massage Envy!!!

My cute neighbor, Destiny, brought me a gift...

Opening presents from my sister, Stac...

Ahhhh... LOVE it!!!

Finally Justin is home! Dinner at Red Robin...mmmm!!! And of course, Iceburg for my FREE Birthday shake!

My sweet friend, Paige, brought me breakfast the next morning... YUM!!! Pumpkin cinnamon rolls and homemade granola!!!

My Brother in Law, Tim and I share November birthdays... party at my in laws!!

I feel SO grateful to have lived a healthy, happy life for 31 years!! I have truly been blessed with people who love me!!

Old Friends...

One of my great friends from Rexburg, Christine Miller, and her family recently moved to Spanish Fork. Her husband, Mark, JUST left for Air Force boot camp. Christine and her 3 boys came to visit us in West Jordan. We had a house FULL (2 moms and 6 boys under the age of 4!!!) What fun!! I LOVE catching up with old friends!!!

My Boys...

Halloween

By the time Halloween ACTUALLY rolled around, we had already participated in several parties, Boo at the Zoo and trick or treating... Halloween this year was a long series of events! Sat. night, after the zoo, we went to our wards trunk or treat. It was raining, so we had it in classrooms indoors. A nice dinner was provided afterwards... I won 1st place in the dessert contest! :) Our traditional Halloween dinner...

Mmmmmm!!

Some of our best friends, the Woods, came for dinner and games Sunday night

Happy Halloween!!!

Boo at the Zoo...

Justin has clinicals on Saturdays, and Halloween was no exception. I decided to go to Boo at the Zoo alone, well not really alone... I had 3 excited little boys accompany me! Estin brought along his little friend, Weston. I think people thought I was crazy naming "my twins" Estin and Weston. Also, we dressed as the Lion, the Scarecrow and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz... if Weston really WAS Estin's twin, why did I not dress him as the tin man! I think I had a lot of people scratching their heads. :) Just as SOON as we arrived in the parking lot, I realized I had locked my keys in the van... NOT fun!!! Not wanting it to ruin my day or the boys fun, I tried to think quickly. Luckily, I married into the MOST AMAZING family! After a call or two, my SIL drove to Orem, where Justin was working, grabbed his set of keys, and my Mother and Father in Law drove them up to Salt Lake for me a few hours later as we were leaving. Within MINUTES of loading up, it began to pour! I truly count my blessings!!!

Riding the train... A MUST!!! "Brothers"

I LOVE this kid!!!

Eli wasn't so sure about the carousel...

My favorite... the GIRAFFE!!
