November in a nut shell....

So, sit back and enjoy our November highlights - all from one week.....

We headed to Texas early Saturday morning and arrived in the evening, the trip seemed long, but we made it. This is out of order, but was the theme of our trip....Caleb was sick almost all week. We took him to the dr. on Monday and then to the ER on Friday....ugggghhh frustrating and expensive especially when it was all stuff that really was somewhat untreatable. But we got some answers and so we know now what to do if this problem happens again. Was it worth $200 dollars? knowing everything is alright, yeah I guess.

Back to the beginning of the week - on Sunday we (Caleb, Josh, and I) went to church to see some of our friends and go to fellowship and worship with our brothers and sisters. Caleb went home with his good friend Jacob and spent the day with him. Chloe and Keira spent the day with Grandpa and Grandma. For dinner, we went to Ja
cob and Emma's house and enjoyed spending time with our dear friends Mike and Tamara. We had a great time and so did the kids. I think we spent at least 2 hours and the kids got along the ENTIRE time - no tears, no fights, nothing...it was glorious!!!

Cousins came over on Monday and the girls rode their scooters. Chloe and Keira got their scooters for Christmas (early, I know, but riding a scooter in Colorado in December, not really an option, so they got them early and have loved them). Keira looks so cute waiting patiently for a turn...
Bella tries it out...neither Victoria nor Bella had rode a two wheeled scooter, so it was fun watching them try it out.
they both caught on quickly
Chloe loves her scooter and is really good at it.
We visited our favorite yogurt shop - Berrylicious...yum!
Grandpa had a remote control airplane that the kids enjoyed playing with, well, maybe Josh and Grandpa enjoyed it more.... It's a toss up.


On Wednesday, we went over to Jeremy and Cindy's house to get the turkey ready for Thanksgiving...the girls had fun touching the turkey and getting the anatomy all figured out thanks to Uncle Jeremy....
The only pics I took on Thanksgiving were of the family....


On Saturday we went and got pictures taken with Santa, went bowling, went to the grass maze, and Freebirds (Josh's favorite restaurant)...here are some pics from that....

Caleb invited some of his school friends to come and go bowling with him...

Eating at Freebirds - YUM


The grass maze was a lot of fun...the kids LOVE this place and really love it when dad, grandpa, and uncle Jeremy chase them....it was super cold and windy, so we had the place all to ourselves.








We had a great week and loved spending time back in our old stomping grounds. Thanks to Grandpa, Grandma, Jeremy, and Cindy for making us feel so welcome! We had a great time!
