November 2019

It has been a while since I have done a little update on each of us, instead of just what we have done. As much as I love reading what we have been doing, I think I just want to make sure and write these posts so I can remember these cutest kids.

Camille: Camille is loving school. So much! She is doing great. We just went to Parent Teacher Conferences and Ms. Trimble only had good things to say about her. She is the kindest and sweetest girl. Always helping her friends. Although, I already knew that about her. She is also exceeding in academics, which I also knew she would. She is so smart. In the starting assessment test she pretty much blew it out of the water.

The other day it snowed and Camille woke up and looked outside and said, "Mom! It snew!" instead of saying it snowed, she conjucated it the same way you would the word 'Know" into 'Knew'. Snow to snew. It was so cute to me.

 

Jason: Jason has been following me around ever since Camille went to Kindergarten. His new saying is, "Mom, where you go, I go." Which is so sweet, but make my eye twitch a little because he won't just stay downstairs and play. I am looking forward for when Sadie gets a little older and they can play together. 

He is the funniest little boy. And he thinks he is so funny! He is constantly telling jokes, but they aren't really jokes, he is just making things up. He thinks he is so funny. This is the "joke" he is telling most often. 

J: Knock Knock

M: Whose there?

J: PJ Masks

M: PJ Masks who?

J: Why did the PJ Masks fix their vehicles?

M: I don't know why?

J: because they were broken. HA HAHA HA HAH A

It doesn't even make sense, but he says it all the time. I just go with the flow with that one! 

Sadie: Sadie loves sitting on the counter. It is her favorite place to be. Especially if the water is running. She is contantly getting wet because she loves the water. She also loves to pull all of the stirring spoons out and put them all over the place.

She has started to say mama without yelling at me, and can say Dada. Hopefully shortly she should be talking soon. 

We have been doing some Just Dance off of Youtube, and Sadie is loving it. We started doing it for Camille, but Sadie started doing it and it is so cute!!! 

                            

                                            

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was spent in Iowa. It is one of the very few Thanksgivings that we have been away from Family. (I think the very first Thanksgiving we were married I was working at Shopko and had to work the black friday sales the next day, and Kevin was driving semi. But he stopped in Logan for Thanksgiving dinner.)

We ended up hosting for some of our friends, and it turned out perfectly. I really feel grateful for how well it turned out. We invited Jessica, Tim and their kids Isabella and Faith. We also invited the Rogers: Lala, Kai, their kids Cason, Ronin, and Capri, and Aunt Tiffany. And we invited Jayden, Andrea, and their son max. It was perfect. Everyone was really worried because there were 9 people, but the house functioned well for us and we fit and the kids played so nicely together. I loved it. 

I woke up in the morning and put the turkey in the oven . Turkeys don't actually take that long to bake, which surprised Kevin since we cook our roasts for the whole day. I got some sides prepped and ready, and then waited. I was going to have Thanksgiving dinner at 12, but decided to do 2 instead. It worked out great, but I was ready earlier. 

Everyone showed up with their yummy food to share, and we ate food. Probably too much food. I had everyone sit down and while we were eating we played the bowl game. It is kind of a non-traditional get to know you game, but it was perfect. We laughed and got to know each other a little better. 

I set the table all nice, and the Woodiwiss family brought some beautiful flowers that I enjoyed for several weeks after (until Sadie knocked the vase off the counter and broke it). But I didn't even get any pictures. I really should have taken a picture, but it still was nice. 

I am glad we are starting to make some friends here in Iowa, and I foresee a lot more time spent here hosting friends and having parties! I have so much to be Thankful for this year, even though it has been a tough one, we have always had enough food, laughter in the house, love, and the Gospel. I have a great husband and wonderful kids. I have the internet so I can keep in contact with my family back in Utah and Idaho. And I love that I can be a stay at home mom. Happy Thanksgiving! 

Here are a couple pictures Lala sent to me of Thanksgiving.
