November in Review...

November has come and gone like the wind this year! I can't believe it's almost over. My work has been uncharacteristically busy for this time of year (which I am definitely not complaining about!) Gary has been busy with work too and life has been crazy as we've juggled this with taking care of our two loves.

Sadie is getting so big and continues to be a sweet, happy, healthy baby. Though she did start the family off with colds. Lydi and I followed. Gary has escaped it so far (as usual).

We were able to bless Sadie on the 14th and many of The Cannons came to town for the occasion. We, of course, got some shopping in while they were here. It was a nice weekend. Gary gave a beautiful blessing.




Last week I was able to have a GNO with my USU buddies. We always have a fun time catching up and enjoying our favorite..TRIO. Later that week my mom and sister and I saw The Color Purple at The Capitol Theater. I love The Capitol Theater and I especially love Broadway musicals. It was an excellent performance.

Thanksgiving was...interesting. But it is always a great time for me to reflect on everything I have to be grateful for. I'm overwhelmed at the blessings that surround me.

Gary and I did some Christmas shopping tonight and had some success getting ready for the big day. I look forward to being done with the shopping part of this holiday very soon.

When Daddy's Away...

Gary has been on another hunting trip this weekend and we've been doing what we can to pass the time around here...here are a few iphone images I thought I'd share...
Nerds for breakfast (not really, but she likes to eat them with a spoon!), Lydia's self portrait of her doing yard work (is it just me or is that REALLY good for 3 years old!?!?) and Lydi and Mitch enjoying dinenr at Tio's

Baby's First Halloween

we were so excited for Halloween this year. It was the first year Lydia has been really excited and aware of it! She had so much fun. After many, many costume ideas she settled on a butterfly. I found a cute wand and halo to go with the outfit and thought she could be a fairy. But she wanted no part of the halo or wand...just a skirt and wings. She looked so cute. Thanks to aunt Jen for the perfect skirt!

She had her class party on Friday. we got to go see her, but she wouldn't do any of the singing or dancing the other kids were doing. A little shy of the stage...just like me and her dad.

Saturday was the annual Halloween party at my mom's house. Mom went all out as usual. It is always so fun! Of course the rain put a damper on trick-or-treating, but for a bunch of spoiled kids who get candy whenever they want anyway, that was no big dal :) Lydi's favorite part was when everyone left and she had her Grammy all to herself. She was in heaven when she got to sleep over and watch a movie, just her and Grammy.

Saide girl was as sweet as could be. She looked so cute in the outfit Lydia wore three years ago.

Lydia 2 months
