November in a Flash!

November flew by! Here are some fun things we did!

 

Josie got a fish! We started a reward system to get her to go to sleep by herself at night. We always laid with her but felt it was time. Every night that she went to sleep by herself (after a book, tuck-in, and sugars of course) she got a "diamond" in the jar. She had been begging for a fish for months. 10 diamonds earned her a fish. It's a boy but she don't know that and his name is Molly. Of course, Molly has been here a couple months now and no one pays Molly any mind except me, but hey, she sleeps by herself now. She just got the jar filled up so we went to Disney on Ice last night which was a real special treat. Win win for Josie and us!

 

 

It turned cold so we now have our family dance parties by the chiminea! And I chopped my hair off! 8 inches.

 

The Ladners had a fall festival which was a big hit! Barbie jeeps and jumpy houses for the girls and ping pong for Joey. 

 

I turned 31 with a bang! This birthday was such an awesome one, Joey was so thoughtful and the girls were so fun to get excited with. They even decorated =) Joey got me a beautiful pair of earrings which I lost one of 5 days after my birthday =(

 

Cooked out with the Morrells... Josie and Jack!

 Ryleigh sang at the mall for opening day of the Angel tree. She was so innocent and beautiful!

 

We had to do this instead of buy Josie some too small preschool spike heels! Why do they make those??

 

Had to pull my phone out in church because they looked so darn sweet!

 

Lots of rain forced us to pull out the old faithful princess tent! Thank you Amber for getting this for Josie about 2 years ago... we still enjoy!

Avery's 6th Birthday party was a lot of fun! Josie LOVES skating!

 

Me and Josie had a day to ourselves... she wanted robes so we got them!

 

Skating Josie with her walker!

 

Colbie was sick for a week... they said it was a fever virus followed by a stomach virus. She was so pitiful and Josie was so worried about her. I walked by her room and saw this. Josie is such a nurturer.

Josie made this recipe at school! 

 

Morning hair ragamuffins!

 

Me and my first baby... she is 9 years old and gray.

 

Maddy and Bishop had an awesome birthday at the farm!
