So the boys finished soccer a few weeks later we had Halloween- it was a great success. Also that weekend Mitchell went to Sun Valley (without us) for his masters program but I think he had a good time.
While he was there he did a little shopping with Santa and found so fabulous legos.
the kids and I dressed up and went to the ward party for Halloween and the trunk or treat. We had a ton of fun!
Eli started Basketball the program is called shooting stars and he was on the team 'Wizards'. Kayden and Eli made a few new friends and went to a few birthday parties. One of them at Chukie Cheeses.
I did several photo shoots in a row. :) Practice practice practice.
We had Mitchell's parents visit in early November. They stayed for the weekend and the kids got to go to Wahooz with them which was a big highlight. The boys had a great time!
My book group had a second meeting and I am super excited about the group!
We put up the Christmas tree the week before thanksgiving.
Around this time I managed to keep the car clean for probably a full month! Cue the heavenly singing.
The Blairs and Barthlomes both came for Thanksgiving. basically we had some fun. ;)
We threw Jessica a baby shower which I think was a wonderful success. She is the cutest pregnant lady ever.
The Holiday crazy business began (only it wasnt all that crazhy). The kids sang in teh Christmas program and the ward party.

Pick up Mitchells brothers in Bliss after their car broke down
we had Taylor and Carlin stay for new years weekend. Mitch had a very good time with them.
New years for new years we had some sparkling cider and confetti filled ballons. we celebrated early with the kids because they were TIRED, oh man did they need sleep. after the kids went to bed I watched seinfeild in our room so mitch and his brothers could hangout and talk. I opened the curtins so i could see out of the big windows in our room, firweorks all over, it was fabulous. At midnight mitch and i walked outside in the snow and smooched in the front yard while all the fireworks went off!. It was a very nice way to bring in the new year.
We had church on the 1st, sacrament meeting was nice with all the kids home from college giving short little talks. It was my second time in nursery, Mitch went to class with his brothers.
On the second i wanted to spend some time with Michael before he left so we went to the Egg Factory (its a very cool breakfast resterant), huge servings of food and a nice uninterupted conversation made it a pretty great morning!
Tuesday the 3rd was a the first day Back at school Eli had a great day since it was the holiday party he was able to build a gingerbread house and do some fun things that they missed on the day before break becasue of the snowday. It was pretty nice to get back into routine a little bit. Kayden had a playdate with Parker adn Jonah and it was so funny to listen to their conversations. That night it was Kaydens first night oif Gymnastics. It went really well. I am hoping it will also help with his toe walking, two other moms-without me saying anything- said their sons had had the same problem bu tthat gymnastics really helped and now they dont so it anymore!
Also on the 3rd Kayden had a Doctors appointment He has grown a little bit but is still only in the 30th percentile. We discussed the toe walking and hopefully it gets better because in the next few months if it doesn't then the next step in to meet with a pediatric physical therapist.
He is doing great in other areas though and he was VERY brave when he got his shots.
The next two days we got dummped on! I had NEVER seen this much snow in the valley- its apperently record breaking and I belive it. Crazy awesome! We are snowed in and had 10 snow days!
