November is half way over! Here’s our story so far this month… (i may have a pic for everyday – that’s the way I roll with my cell phone now)

Raymond learned how to clap on November 1st! I had never thought to try it and hadn’t busted out patty cake in a while so it was fun to see him so excited. The kids thought it was amazing that little Ray Ray could really clap:

love the excitement!

The 2nd was cousins night at our house. The kids played in the leaves:

I love Lily jumping in this pic

Ellie is super cute.

Tin Tin and Rosie are good friends.

Saturday the 3rd was my RS Super Saturday. It was also a perfect november park day:

Mia, Benji, Alessandro, Packer, and Cali… they all felt a little sick afterwards.

the 4th:

lookin handsome in their suits.

November 5th:

Ray got his first bloody lip from climbing on the rocking chair.

November 6th:

Packer got the Walmart add and had me write his Christmas List for Santa! He seems to think that HE WILL be getting everything on the list.. hmmm… sorry buddy. Excitement is in the air already at our house!!

Wednesday November 7th:

love when babies grab their toes

Thursday the 8th Ben and I snuck out for a date night. Joel wrestled all 5 kids for us – pretty amazing for a single white guy 🙂 We went with Michelle and Udine to the Real Soccer Game: Real Salt Lake vs Seattle Sounders. FUN.

November 9th was our first snow day. It snowed most of the afternoon and some more in the evening. We didn’t get a ton but enough for the kids to play in and a week later it is still here – it’s been a COLD week.

Packer and Cali loving the white stuff. They couldn’t stop eating it.

And sometimes (I’ll blame this time on the snow) sometimes mom gets to relax and play computer while watching netflix and wrestling the baby.

I am going to post this half of the first half of November because it is getting long and it is getting late so I can at least be halfway caught up…
