Happy November!

November was a fun and busy month....so busy we hardly had time to take pictures! But we did capture a few! Here were the highlights of the month....

Fall is definitely here!

This beautiful buck visits our front yard fairly often and it was so neat to see him on this quiet white morning :)


The boys raking the leaves with daddy!

Kitchens with Altitude

This is a Jr. League event in Colorado Springs and I was on the committee, so it was a great time and such a wonderful event to be a part of! We basically organized a tour of 8 amazing kitchens in the Springs as a fundraiser. I was at a new home in the Garden of the Gods all day...it was a gorgeous home with an amazing view! Here are two of my friends from Jr. League on the back porch...the picture does not do the view justice at all. Thanks everyone for coming out to support this great event!

I turned Thirty-three!

Time keeps on passing by! Thirty-three is kind of a boring age in my opinion, but I'm just grateful to have had 33 wonderful years :) My mom came up the week before and since her birthday is on the 19th, we went out to eat to celebrate each other! Then she also babysat the boys so Steven and I could go out....we went to The Famous, which is one of the best steakhouses we've ever been to! We could hardly move we were so full...yummy! The boys also sang Happy Birthday to me, Steven (& Arbonne!) sent me flowers, and I got so many well wishes from friends...it was a great day and I am so blessed to feel so loved!

Peyton's 1st Haircut

I can't remember if I've shared this yet about Peyton, but he started pulling his hair at night as a "soothing" technique. We're not exactly sure why it is soothing but since he has never sucked his thumb or a paci, this has apparently replaced more "conventional methods." Although we were concerned at first, no one else seems to be and it is apparently a not-so-uncommon thing. But since he was pulling out all of his long curls anyway (sadness), we decided to go ahead and get him a haircut and to get it pretty short to hopefully rid him of the bad habit. Here he is in the cool car chair. With Lawson right beside him and a lolipop in his hand, he had no problem!

Thanksgiving

We stayed home again this year with no visitors for Thanksgiving....although sad not to be with family, we had another great time just the 4 of us :) I refuse to spend all day in the kitchen by myself, so instead of getting our meal from the grocery store like we did last year, we went to the Officer's Club at the Academy this year, and it was great! The food was surprisingly very yummy....only problem was that it was a buffet, so no leftovers :( I just wish my stomach could have held more! After lunch we headed over to the Chapel grounds...it was fun just walking around....the boys loved all of the planes and it was a beautiful day to soak in all of the beauty around us. We are so thankful for our country and all of the many men who have sacrificed to give us freedom!

Hanging out with my boys right before we were seated




Both boys loved the food and ate a TON! Peyton is saying "cheese" in the picture below :)

Lawson walking behind daddy rolling his train along :)

Look at all these neat planes daddy!

Wow, look at the beautiful Chapel!!!

Hanging out at home due to colder weather!

It finally got a bit colder in November, so we have been staying indoors more. Here are just a few random pics from this month.....

Have fun with all of the holiday excitement! See you next month and have a very Merry Christmas! We wish you happiness and joy as we celebrate our Lord's birth,
