November 2022

Let's see if we can sum up all of November into one post since I'm totally playing catch up and it's annoying, ha ha.

Since John's stroke on October 13th, he has not been doing too well. He already was having some dimensia before that and the stroke really made it worse, as well as affecting his speach. He can't really have a conversation anymore. I try to go over and visit Sally as much as I can, as well as getting her mail for her and taking her garbage out each week.

Sally has always loved Ava. Love having these pictures of them!

Livy, Ava, and Jackson.

I was lucky enough to go down to St. George with all of these ladies for Time Out for Women. Brooke invited me because they had an extra ticket that needed to be used. It was such an amazing weekend! We had such a good time together.

Two of them I had never met before, and it turns out I am related to one of the two I hadn't met! So funny!

Deanne introduced us to the slot canyon at Dixie Rock which was awesome for our family trip we took in December.

We had so much fun playing games, eating good food, hot tubbing, and just chatting!

Time Out for Women was pretty good. A little expensive and kind of annoying how commercialized it felt from Deseret Book but all in all it was great!

After I got back I got to go on a fun field trip with Tyler and Kallie's class to the capitol building. That building is so beautiful and I had such a good time! Basically got to hang out with Cammie the whole day which was really fun.

These kids love going to the church to play and one day Ava was going to town in the primary room, pretending to teach a class and just singing and bearing her testimony. These guys were so cute!

Have to document that at the church we found Tyler's missing hoodie that I had searched high and low for! I was so freaking excited to find it!!

More sleeping pictures. Always sleeping pictures.

Came across this random sketch from Mckinley. She is so talented! I don't get it.

More joy school fun. Jackson went through a phase of hating joy school and crying and kicking and screaming every time I dropped him off. Then he would calm down after I left and when I come to pick him up he cries again because he doesn't want to go home. Finally got over it though and is enjoying it again.

Kallie was lucky enough to go to Hadlee's fun birthday party where they took all the girls to a BYU women's basketball game.

Fun ice cream date with Luke and Kristin.

Mckinley and Lauren hiding in a cupboard during the worst turn out of slaughter ball ever. Slaughter ball is dodge ball and it's a yearly youth activity but they did it the night before Thanksgiving and hardly anyone showed up. I was the only adult YW leader there out of 11 leaders!

Kallie randomly decided she wanted to do a spa for me. She did all sorts of cute things and was just pampering me like crazy.

We took a bath and she massaged my feet.

Then did the massage gun on my back.

Thanksgiving was fun! We ate with the Salmon's at Ross and Karen's. It was a full house. So much yummy food and fun to spend time together!

Megan wanted to play a trick on the boys and have them all show up in the same shirt. I told Brandon about it right away, just not into lying to him about something like this that I knew he wouldn't like anyway. Most of them had figured it out beforehand.

Never ending sleeping pics.
