November Happenings

In addition to all of the planned big activities we had happening already in the month of November, there seemed to be a million other little things that happened during the month.  Here are some pictures to capture what life brought us in November.

The boys participated in their first Fun Run (or jog-a-thin as we used to call them). Lincoln ran 40 laps and raised about $75.00 for his school. 

Logan's class picture. He also ran 40 laps and raised some money for his class. 

Our basketball court 

 Our extended patio cement and the basketball court was poured while we were on our trip to CA.  Unfortunately there were issues with the cement on the basketball court (bad batch of cement) so after a few days they had to rip it out and redo it. Thankfully it was better the second time around. 

This was the first time they poured it.

 This is the start of the frame work for the patio extension.

This is after they poured it the first time and had to fix it. 

The boys are so happy they have a basketball court to play on. They have been outside almost every day since we put it in. They either shoot hoops or throw a football around out on the pad. 

I attended a volunteer event in Scottsdale and the Phoenix Suns mascot took a picture with me and a co-worker, Jessica.

After 9 years with this awesome truck, we finally had to say goodbye. We still really loved it but we were given Tutu's truck and this one is getting old.  It had just under 100K miles when we sold it. It is the truck that we brought both of our babies home from the hospital in after they were born.  It's taken us on many road trips and we've had a lot of wonderful fond memories that include our truck. It was sad to see it go but it was time. 

We participated in Operation Christmas Child this year and made two boxes of toys and essentials for little boys. Each year we try to do a little something to help the boys understand that there are people that are in need and that we are very blessed to have what we have. I hope it sinks in for them. 

It is a school tradition for the kindergarten to present the Thanksgiving Program. 

Logan's part in the play was a pilgrim and he was the cutest pilgrim I have ever seen!

Tutu's locked up the house and headed to Arizona before leaving on their mission. 

Logan just being a clown.

Logan likes to go with me to get a pedicure. He likes to sit in the massage chair next to me. 

The boys have both advanced again in swimming. Logan is now a jellyfish and Lincoln is a lobster.

While Tutu's were here, before Thanksgiving, we celebrated Daddy's birthday early.
