AZ trip

A long weekend in AZ with the oldest two kids included a trip to Tucson to see my new(ish) niece Emelia Jo

I had lunch with this fantastic girl.

We saw the dinos at the phoenix zoo with Cheryl the Great and Alicia.

The big horn sheep were on the mountain.

I feel the same way Orangutan

Sitting on a tiger while wearing a tiger shirt.

Dinner with the Andersons and trying out Japanese soda.

Then Carolina's with Janette

We went to the Christmas lights at the temple with my siblings, Brianne, the Richardsons, and Grandma Blau.

The kids were awesome on both flights.

November

I found a cat in my garage.

The leaves were brilliant

We finished building the seesaw

M and I went hiking with the play group at Brightwater.

Autumn met winter.

I built a composter for the alpaca poop.

M3 was an excellent helper.

M3 looks adorable in my beanie and he knows it.

J found a new way to play with colored pencils.

Jeff and Chris came up to visit so we had dinner with Josh and Brooke

"I like my line cup"

I love all these kids in these cute hats.

The sweetness of kids being read to.

I made a bunch of hats for my friend's charity fundraiser.

My first spool of spun yarn.

I made shingles cookies for a friend of mine who had shingles.

Someone still needs a nap now and then.

We hosted a wonderful thanksgiving with family and friends.

Me and Mallory were wearing coordinating outfits.

Snowman ballet

Learning how to make pie crusts. I loved the fluted edges made with tiny fingers.

They got an early start on the gingerbread house since Grammy and PopPop were here.

He grabbed the rabbit and called it Baby as he carried it around.

I finally finished 5 of these advent calendars for all my siblings.
