Saturday November 10th ended up being a pretty busy day:

Packer slept ALL day! He threw up twice and was not feeling good.

Benji and his little snowman named Chilly.

Rose looking a little sick herself… and she has been a little sick all week. A runny nose, some fever, and mostly whiny and wanting mommy to hold her all day. Today I found a little molar coming in.

It was freezing cold and the game didn’t start until 8:15 BUT Benji and I went to the BYU v Idaho football game and we got Ryan and Marlee to go with us!

SUNDAY the 11th. We got to go to a special stake conference because Elder Bednar came!! He is so down to earth and in touch. I loved his sense of humor. He gave great counsel and guidance and encouraged me to be a little better. I loved it. And I loved being home at noon and relaxing with my family:

The kids learning to play battleship! they loved it.

Sean supporting MOVEMBER

Benji decided to pull out his 2nd tooth!!

Monday the 12th: we watched the Falabella kids for most of the day.

the girls played really well!! that is a big deal these days because it doesn’t always happen.

the girls are all about the headband

Tuesday November 13: Raymond is 9 months old!! And started climbing stairs! He is all over the house and into everything.

Wednesday November 14: I realized how crazy my life has been lately. I am taking care of kids 24/7. I can barely get anything done outside of making sure that the kids are eating, learning, sleeping and not living in filth. Everyone wants mom and everyone wants ‘hold me’ and ‘get me…’ and Raymond’s mobility has definitely added to the craziness.

I love when Ben comes home in the evenings!

November 15th: Thursday was another take care of kids and not get much done kind of day.

how cute is this! Love watching them interact.

Friday the 16th: I cooked and cleaned and packed our bags for a weekend at a Park City Cabin with the Nettesheim Family!!

Rose learned how to use my camera phone while I packed.

We left for Park City right after Ben got home from work! We spent the evening with all of the Utah Netty Family. We ate and talked and ate and had a planning meeting and ate and played a few games. Everyone stayed up way to late but it was a blast.

most of us hanging out in the main room of the cabin

Saturday the 17th: We spent the day in our pajamas at the cabin with lots of family. The kids hot tubbed and played in the snow. I went to the outlets and we all played and ate the day away.

Sunday November 18th: We said goodbye to the cabin. Got home in time to go to church. Hosted my family for pizza dinner and then crashed.

Goodbye Cabin

we inherited 100 hotwheels over the weekend!

Monday November 19th: I got nothing done BUT we played cars and went to the park and we are all excited that it is Thanksgiving week. Yeah!

Rosie is still whiny lately

Benji had a Manners Lunch at school today. He was nervous and excited.
