 Pre-Thanksgiving Dinner at the River House. Adrian smoked a delicious turkey. Scott is getting ready to leave for boot camp. So, everyone was together one last time. Kids had fun playing together. Nora is all swaddled up feeling cozy.

Turkey Treats we made with our friends the Chavez's 

School Thanksgiving dinner. The kids were suppose to bring an item of their choice that is a family tradition. Addie wanted me to make 10 layer rainbow jello. The entire time at the feast she kept asking when is it time for jello. I had brought Josh and Nora. Josh was running around like a crazy man.

 We headed where things are bigger & better for Thanksgiving. Texas was good to us. However, we had a homealone experience where our alarms didn't go off. We left an hour late. Tim backed into his car & broke the mirror off. They let me on the flight to save seats then kicked us off. Never again will I not be the first to do online check in BOO! They had overbooked the flight. I cried... I was sure there was someone better to kick off that flight. We made some $ because of it. When we finally got on our flight; the flight was just getting in the air. I was holding Nora, and Addie says, "Mom my tummy feels sick." Then she threw up... luckily there was a tender mercy (one of my young women was in the 3rd seat) She totally helped me clean Addie up. Kids did great on the flight. Once we got to Texas we barley made it by the way. When we stopped down in Amarillo there was snow, & they kept de-icing the plane I didn't think we were going to make it. Oh yeah & I had to have a middle seat with Nora in between two of the nicest guys. They loved Nora... because she is the nicest baby ever. She did not make one peep. I was so nervous being in the middle these guys were big & when I first sat down they didn't seem friendly. The second day we were there we stayed in a big storm came in. We took Addie to the American Doll store she was thrilled. Josh got to go to this cool place where they had lots of trains set up. He was so loud squeeling with delight. Thanksgiving was fun & my sister made delicious food. The boys were so nice to do art with Addie. I think she used all the paper in the house. Josh was upset when the boys would play defense on him in basketball. He kept yelling at them to lower the hoop too. We played some fun games. The littles watched a fun christmas show. We had a family friend Lauren come over for dinner. OH and Tim's identity got stollen. We were hit by the target scammers.

November 3rd
Addie:
Lately a bit of naughtiness: a while back she covered the bottom of one of Tim's shoes with lipstick. He had no idea put it on walked on the wood floor, and it the floor was coated in bright pink greasy lipstick. It took a while to clean up. She will hide food she doesn't want to eat... her nuts is the most recent. I'll find them hidden in the computer desk, in decorations on the table, even in her room behind a chair. Grammy bought the kiddos ornaments. Carol said to Addie, don't you just love Nora's ornament. Addie told her, "The birds would have been much better!" Little bit of sweetness she will look at Nora, and tell her oh you are the cutest thing I've ever seen, and then look at me & say isn't she mom.


Josh:
My favorite thing is (that I can't correct because it's too sweet) he will say, "mommy I want to hold you.
He loves to hide. If you are sitting on the couch he thinks it's time to hide. He is starting to tell me mom I pooped. However, he's not excited about sitting on the potty.  Josh loves holding Nora. He's obsessed with candy right now. If it is in sigh he thinks he needs it a lot of it non stop. YIKES!

Nora:
She pooped 3 times today... that never happens. 2 out of the 3 were blow outs. She loves to sit on my legs, & look at me. I put my legs up on the ottoman, and she will chatter with me. She also likes that position to get the gas off of her tummy. She will fart super loud, and a lot. Typically she poops 1 a day
 or every other day.


Tim:
Kings season has begun he's loving that. He took Josh, &; Addie to one preseason game. They both loved it. Josh wet all the way through his diaper. Good thing Tim listened to me... he wasn't going to take any diapers or wipes. Josh got new kings pants, shirt, and ball.

Nicole:
Trying to get a bit more fit. Started doing T-25 my body can feel it all over. Tomorrow I start a clean eating plan for November. Trying to be better organized. Realizing how quick time goes by, and wanting to make sure after a good message at stake conference I am choosing the best things for me and my family. I helped Addie decorate a feather of the things she is thankful for. Kids are so funny. We spent a lot of time she is very creative and loved every minute of it.
