November Fun

Before Thanksgiving, we had a pretty low key month, but it sure did fly by! The holidays hit fast, but at least we had some fun in the process.

The weekend after Halloween, I went to Time Out for Women with some gals from the ward. It was in San Marcos, which is about an hour away, so we stayed in a hotel and were able to have a fun girl's weekend. We were able to hear several awesome speakers and have some fun shopping at the outlets!

Front row: Shelley.Jaime.Shelley

(Yes, you read that right...there are THREE Shelleys in my ward and we were all at the same function! Isn't that funny!)

Wes is scared of the car wash. Am I mean that I think it's funny?
 He starts out with these confused faces looking around...

And then he gets sad and cries.
Sorry baby, I just think your sad face is so cute!

 Wes LOVES our neighbor, Liz...I think it is mostly because of her chihuahua, Petey, but she loves him too, so it is a great friendship that has formed!

Picture day!

Here is my handsome pre-schooler on his way to school on picture day. 

I almost didn't buy the pictures but am so glad I did. It turned out AMAZING!

SOCCER

Thad's last soccer game was this month. He was bummed it was over, but we had such a fun season!

There were a steady handful of kids that would play every week and Thad was one of them. Half the team was unpredictable, but we could always count on him to play. He made a lot of improvement over the season and I'm sure we have lots of Soccer Saturdays to look forward to over the coming years!

Wes LOVES cars right now. He can't get enough of them and he is not partial to any in particular. I took this picture to send to Brigitte and tell her that he threw a huge fit when I made him leave this wall:

She likes it because Caden is a car boy, so it is a fun thing they have in common!

West Side Christian Preschool Thanksgiving Feast

Thad's school had a feast the last day of class before the holiday break and Wes and I were able to join! It is always fun to go and see where and who your kid is with when they are away from you. It is so fun to see Thad interact with his cute school friends and talk to his teacher. I have been so happy with his preschool and know he will love it for the rest of his time there.

And to top things off -- just my boys being cute:

 Thad's shirt made me long for the east coast that day! (and right now as I look at this picture)

 Wes is that blur, but these boys maul their dad the second he walks in the door. They love him!

 Wes has been going to Time Out a lot lately because he's either throwing a fit or some sort of toy-

  Isn't it cute!?
