November

Emery's second year in the Nutcracker.  This year her friend Zoey came to the show.

Lehi football took the state championship again this year. Jack and his friends taking Trax to the game and Emery and her friends at the game 

Ivan got to spend Thanksgiving  in Idaho, hunting with his cousin Cody, again this year. They are quite a hunting pair. Cody is so good to show Ivan such a good time. 

and I have no pictures of our Thanksgiving and I can't really even remember what we did. I think we ate with my family before Thanksgiving and then with Mikes family on Thanksgiving.  Wish I could remember more about it. Gobble, Gobble.

 

Mike's 50th Birthday

 This year we celebrated big with Chad and Katie Despain at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. (No pictures though) Mike is worth every penny of it. He's wonderful and the steak is to die for (never thought I would say that about a piece of meat). So it was a great night.

I did get a picture during Sunday dinner 

Kate's 6th Birthday round 2

 Kate has 2 different little groups of friends. Her 2 best friends are Stella and Ellie. They are both older than her. She also plays a bit with Laney and Emma, who are also older soooooo we had one party with the little girls her own age, who she actually doesn't play with a whole lot, but goes to school with and car pools with and another party with the older girls.  I know... it's too much and unnecessary, but we did it anyway. 

It gets worse..... we then do a party with my side and  then with mikes side and we have our own little celebration as a family.  Not next year though. I promise.
