I have been remiss in my blogging duties lately (as always) -- so, here's the quick picture recap of the last few months.
October
We went to St. George for a family vacation at the beginning of October. Jon ran in the St. George Marathon, so we went a few days early to do some hiking. We hiked the rim of an old volcano. It was fun, but the climb back down was pretty treacherous and I felt pretty nervous about having all the kids with us.
Jon did great in the race. It was so fun to have all the kids there cheering Jon on. They had all made special signs for him and they yelled and cheered as loud as they could.
Daddy Daughter Dance
Jon and Rachel went to a special dinner and dance for activity days. It was a ho-down, so Rachel and Jon dressed in their most cowboy'ish outfits. Thanks Snarr's for lending us your cowboy hats.
Halloween
We went to the kids school Halloween Dance. They always get so excited to get ready for the night, and frankly, so do I. I made Jon dress up as an outlaw -- he was a good sport about it.
November
We've been spending our time this past month getting ready for Christmas and earning money for DisneyWorld (coming up in January - the kids can hardly wait!). The kids are always great to help me with Jax - they're getting really good at hauling that big guy around.
Thanksgiving
We got to spend Thanksgiving with Mom and Dad at their house. It was fun being there again. My younger kids don't really remember doing Thanksgiving at Mom and Dad's, so they felt confused that we weren't going to be having it at our house because "we always have it at home!" (according to Sky).
We finished the night off with the traditional Thanksgiving Pudding (or Thanksgiving Spaghetti - depending who you're talking to). The fun little gifts were a hit and kept us all entertained for hours.
Jon and I spent a week in Disney World the week before Thanksgiving. It was so fun, but unusually cold. We had to buy a snow hat and gloves before I could brave the weather -- easily the most expensive, but most appreciated, hat and gloves we have ever purchased.
And there you have it -- 2 months in just a few photos (and a few words -- after all, this is still me).
