December 2011

I know this is way late, but my computer crashed, and just today I figured out how to view my pictures... I was not able to preview them as a thumbnail, and that made it hard to sort over all the pictures... and I'm more of a picture blogger.  December was a fun month. We went to Temple Square, drove to California with my brother Mike for Christmas & New Years. We were able to visit with all of John's family during the month!  We got to visit with my best friend Becky and her family as well. We went to the Sacramento Zoo with Becky and her kids. Lizzy loved hanging out with Caitlyn and Addy, and her cousins.

Caitlyn was tired of posing for pictures, but I told her, this would be the last one!

Lizzy and Addy were so cute walking together.

November 2011

We had a busy November traveling to California and then to Montana. John had some additional Chiropractic training and the whole family went! Friday night we got to visit with one of my best friends, Becky and her family. We got lots of Sushi (which she hates, but her husband loves).

On Saturday while John and Eric were at their training Dave took pictures of the kids for us! He always does a great job! Here are a few of my favorite!!

We drove back home on Sunday. It was a very quick trip, but fun.

For Thanksgiving we went to visit my mom's side of the family in Montana! Most of the family was there (Emma & Sara's families were not there) Again, Dave took some amazing pictures!! We love spending time at Goldie's!

We all had fun cooking meals!

Loved this shot above the table!

Lizzy and grandpa

We loved being in Montana for Black Friday! The guys actually did the shopping this year! Spend lots of money & saved lots of money... We got a vacuum, camera, jackets, and other little goodies!

Halloween 2011

This year Halloween Weather was good - it was in the 50's. I remember last year it was so cold, we had our gloves on. Lizzy had a party at her preschool, and later we had a small trunk-or-treat at the apartments. They we headed over o the ward neighborhood for a potluck and trick-or-treating. John got their just in time to start walking with us.

We carved pumpkins three different times. Once with the one Lizzy got from the pumpkin patch, once at John's Grandma, and then at John's sisters. We forgot to put the first one outside and it quickly molded... Lizzy woke up one morning and told me her pumpkin had a spider web in the eye... I didn't get a picture of that one. John and Lizzy had fun with carving the pumpkins.

Typical Lizzy loves to play games on the computer! Not sure how I got lucky with JTs smile. He's starting to giggle now, so cute!

John's Birthday this month!

A friend posted on facebook her son, in a very similar outfit, on the same day JT was wearing this! I was going to sent this to her, but I didn't...

We have make a Tradition to eat at Tucanos Brazilian Grill in our Birthday month, because you get a free meal. We take my brother Mike who's going to BYU. We went for my birthday, Mikes birthday and John's birthday. Lizzy loves it, and found a food that most people wouldn't eat - watch below... also I love the very end... the camera died, just at the right spot! I'm glad I caught it all.

Talking with JT, trying to get him to smile and giggle.
