November Happenings

November was a crazy month, as we finished up packing all of our stuff, moved out of our house on November 19, spent two days in a hotel between houses, and moved into our new house on November 21.  Here are a few pictures throughout the month:

Davis trying to keep warm at a soccer game; Asher playing with Kelly’s hat; Buddies James and Asher

   

Davis and James sleeping with a LOT of stuffed animals:

 

Asher hanging out in the garage while I packed; The boys getting ready to watch Planes; Some last days of cul-de-sac fun

   

Boxes, boxes, and more boxes!

   

James last day of preschool with Mrs. Abeyta.  We were all so sad to leave Wee Wisdom Preschool – Landon, Davis, and James have all gone there and they all had Mrs. Abeyta as their teacher.  James especially loved her!

Two tired boys who rarely have a nap; Eating breakfast on the last day in our house; Asher and I in the mirror while waiting for his RSV shot

Ashland Visit with Dave and Liz

My brother Dave and I hadn’t had the chance to see each other for over a year, and we had each had a new baby during that time, so we decided to meet up in Ashland for a quick trip in November.  When we planned it, we didn’t realize that we would be moving just a week and a half later out of our house, and Shane ended up being released from four years of serving in the bishopric that Sunday, so we weren’t able to stay for too long, but it was still nice to spend a day together and meet their cute baby Olivia.

    

No trip to Ashland in the fall is complete without a walk through Lithia Park:
