November

Lunch date with some friends. 

I love that our family is a game playing family. 

Music playing and practicing reading sheet music. Matix is better at playing by ear, but he also is learning to read the notes. 

We got a bunch of cups and Sully got to work building. He loves creating.

Matix and Lullaby made some really cool painted canvases. 

Another of these ribbon braids for Lullaby. 

We have a family pass to the Momentum climbing gym and the kids LOVE going there. This time we brought Jonny too. One of their favorite things to do is climb to the top and jump down. Wild things. 

Then out to get fitted for their ski (Lullaby, Paul and myself), and snowboard (Solace, Matix and Hawk) boots. 

Snuggle puppy Swishy. 

We invited the Hunts over to watch a movie and work on the Halloween candy with us. 

How comfy does this school work look? 

Homeschool has been such a fun experience for us all. The kids learn so much, and still get to be kids the majority of the time. 

Matix made Paul a game for his birthday. It took a while and had lots of rules but it was fun to play. 

Jolie sent Paul this picture she found of me. Oh how I LOVED that outfit. 

Time for some new hair. The red faded to a lovely pink, but the roots had grown in and I was ready for some new color. 

Out to eat with our friends, the Smyth's. James was friends with Paul as a kid, and lives in Utah now. 

I left a note for the kids to do while we were gone, and found a little note back to me at the bottom, Sweet things. 

Out shopping with Mandy and Heidi and some fun with filters. 

Lullaby and Solace had their Primary Program where they got to sing several songs for the congregation and Great Grandma Berg came to see them. Then over to our house for dinner. 

Paul bought himself some cold weather camping gear and decided to test it out. The kids slept on the trampoline for part of the night and he made it the whole night. 

Finishing off the last of the Halloween candy was hard to do, they got SO much that year! 

My phone went black while I was holding it, and nothing was working, and after a couple seconds, I noticed the time. 11:38, of course. Why?!

Play date with Lullaby's friend Sophia. She is super shy, and Lullaby is so sweet to her. I'm glad they're friends. Lullaby needs more clam and quiet friends. 

Lego creation built by Sully. He loves to create, and this robot had so many features and little extras built on! 

Dinner at Great Grandma Berg's house, and Ryan and Megan and baby Cora came too, which made for a party! 

Fingerprinting for the younger three kids. We learned about a genetic condition that causes some people to have no finger prints at all, and what a frustration that can be to them because of all the things in the world that require a fingerprint.
