November in a nutshell!

November was one crazy month. No time for blogging. It's a really long post ahead (took me 3 days to do it), so enjoy reading about our exciting month!

November 2: Lunch and Wheeler Farm

Crew and I went and got lunch at Jimmy John's and took it to Wheeler Farm and ate it on one of the benches. Crew loved it! It was such a nice day!

Feeding the ducks some corn!

Crew was so funny watching this cow! He kept saying, "Hi big cow, your so strong!" Then he would moo at it and wonder why it didn't moo back.

Doing what the chickens do!

We fed some more ducks and then a million ducks came from I don't know where. We ran out of food and they started to chase us!

It was kind of creepy having a million ducks after you.

Luckily, we were faster than the ducks! Don't worry we got away without being pecked to death!

November 2 Continued: October/November Birthday Party in Logan

We headed up to Riley and Aubs in Logan for a birthday party for Riley, Raeg, Ernie and me! We ordered Chinese take out, played some games and ate some cake! Thanks for a great party Riley and Aubs!

Me and the little sweethearts Lily and Kaelyn! It was so cute Lily wanted to hold baby Kaelyn.

And Harrison felt a little left out and wanted to be in a picture too!

Josh, trying to guess what we were! As for me, I just didn't get it! ha ha ha

November 6: Zoo with Friends

We met up with my friend Em and her boys at the zoo. Crew loved having a friend around.

I am so mad. I cropped this girls legs out of the picture and for some reason it will not upload the picture. So frustrating!

Em and her cute boys!

The new baby elephant!

This is what an elephant does!

November 7: Jazz vs. Kings

Broc got tickets from his work and man were they some great seats! I think we were on row 18! That's the closest we have ever been! The game was so much better sitting closer... even though they didn't win!

Crew got so into the game! This is him yelling, "Come on Ref!" Everyone around us was laughing so hard! (Where do they hear these things?!)

"Go Jazz Go!"

Crew's favorite part of the game! The half time entertainment! He loved watching these sumo wrestlers get taken down by the Jazz Bear! This was all he talked about... still talks about!

The Jazz played pretty well the first half, but the second half was pretty sad. "Come on Jazz!"

And moments like this are just priceless!

Our sad/dissapointed faces after the game~

The final score.

November 8: The Primary Program, Goodbyes and Bonfire

We headed up north so we could see our cute nephew Harrison be in the Primary Program. His family lives in Ohio, and since Lesli was the Primary President, she pulled a few strings and he was able to be in it! It was so it was so fun to be able to see him. He did such a great job! We also wanted one more excuse to see them and to say our goodbyes before they left.

Cutest cousin picture!

The above picture may be a bit deceiving! They really didn't want to sit and smile for me... so these were the attempts at getting a good picture!

Why is it that boys really don't love to get their picture taken?

I love you vs. Spider Man

I think they must have needed to get some energy out after sitting so quietly during sacrament!

Just love this girl!

Harrison wanted his picture taken too!

Raeg's model pose!

After dinner, we had a bonfire, roasted some marshmallows and told ghost stories!

Liz and Harrison, so cute!

Aubree vs. the marshmallow...

Chopping wood for the fire! It took 3 people hacking away to bust through that thing!

Grandpa Ernie always has a bag of popcorn!

We didn't bring any clothes to change into, so we just borrowed whatever we could find. Thanks Aubs for the pants!

This was the funniest thing. I saw Crew in a corner, thinking no one is watching, shoving marshmallows into his mouth!

I think he fit about 3 big ones in there. Have you ever played "Chubby Bunny"?

Oh I miss those little cuties already.

Ernie trying to liven up the party! Have you ever seen what happens when you throw fireworks into a bonfire?

He had all of us screaming and jumping around!

Broc, Beau and Uncle Matt

Broc is obsessed with fire. This is him trying to see how many different ways he could light a match.

Raeg enjoying her marshmallow ... and the ghost of Aubree!

Crew sure does LOVE his grandpa! Poor little guy didn't get a nap and was completely wiped out.

So precious.

Looking hot!

Yep I do have on my heels! I thought it went pretty well with the sweats!

Uncle Matt and Grandma Nance

November 14: Birthday Festivities Begin!

Since my birthday was on a Sunday, Broc took me out for dinner on Saturday oh and he did make me breakfast in bed too! We ate at Porcupine Grill...and it was oh so good! Except for when I started choking and almost needed the himlich maneuver!

I think we got the first snow of the season as a birthday present to me! Must know how I love the cold:) Crew tasting it!

Crew was so funny while we were waiting. He had a game that I would hide (behind the menu) and he would run and find me. Definitely entertaining!

One of my favorites of all time! I feel so lucky to be his mom!

So maybe we aren't the best parents but sometimes 2 year olds get restless in restaurants waiting for our food. A little sugar never hurt anyone!

What good manners this boy has!

November 15: My Birthday!

27 years old, really? I was a little depressed with this birthday as it is just a reminder of another year closer to 30!

I really don't know how it got started but birthdays just equal breakfast in bed! ... and some not so cute pics on my birthday!

Birthday loves!

Crew helping me read my card!

Perfume and jewelry... what more can a girl want!

After church, we headed up to Morgan for a birthday dinner at my mom's (I did have to teach on my birthday, shouldn't there be a law against that?). It was my nephew Treyson's birthday the day before, so we usually do a combined party!

How many people does it take to light the birthday cake?

Treyson's turn!

All of the kids getting ready to taste the candles!

Me and Treys... happy birthday to us!

November 20: Goodbye Wests

We had a party at our friend's the Jones' to say goodbye to our friends from Provo, Mike and Emily West. They will be moving to Scotland! We are so excited for you guys! It was so good to see everybody and so fun to see our kids play together!

The guys!

The girls and babies!

November 25: Thanksgiving Eve... Pizza and a movie!

Every year on Thanksgiving Eve, we meet up with Broc's family and the Ovards and eat pizza and then go to a movie! It is such a fun tradition! We saw "A Christmas Carol" in 3-D! Crew liked it, but definitely jumped a few times. I kept reminding him that the ghosts were just pretend.

And this little squealer decided that she really didn't want to watch the movie!

November 26: Thanksgiving

I am not really sure how this happened, but we didn't take any pics of us on Thanksgiving. And I made Crew a "turkey-lurkey" shirt for Crew. I will have to take a picture and post it later.

November 27: Jones Christmas Party

I love it when my family gets together. It only happens about 2 times a year but I love it! There is always amazing food, lots of laughter, lots of chaos from kids running around, and amazing company!

Jen, Jord and me getting ready to dig into some cupcake goodness!

Mikayla wasn't in the mood for pictures.

Crew opening his presents!

He loved the fish that Grammy and Grandpa brought him back from Hawaii. He named his fish Carl!

Crew LOVES microphones! Here he is welcoming everybody to the party! ha ha not really!

He really wanted to give a talk!

Crew had Alexa's (Malexa as Crew calls her) name this year. She loved her shirt and headband. She was so excited to wear it on Monday!

I surprised my sis Jen with the famous coconut cupcakes! I made them for all the November/December birthdays!

She was so excited!

Birthday girls Jordyn and Mikayla

Chrysler and Milayni share the same birthday!

Can you believe I didn't post everything?
