November 2023

 

November 2 - Penny must be really tired to sleep in this jumper.

November 5 - Randy, Courtney, Ryder and Happy came to visit!

November 10 - Randy used his "lawn mower" trailer as a car hauler to transport the Cook's car to Idaho Falls.  Then, he and his family brought Happy to see Grandpa Paul and Grandma Beth.

November 12 - Look at absolutely brilliant sunset we saw on our way home from Idaho Falls!

November 14 - This little Penny girl is quite a little busy baby, but oh, how we love her!

November 16 - Penny likes to sit this funny way!

November 18 - I got to go watch Annie play basketball.  She has improved so much! This year she plays in the Ammon Elementary gym, it hasn't changed since I went to 7th grade there 52 years ago!

We had the cement ripped out and some asphalt laid down at Jared's house.  We had them take out the basketball hoop and extend the driveway out.  Now there's even more parking and room to ride bikes and scooters.

November 21 - Another gorgeous sunset!

November 22 - It looks like the jets that made these jet streams were trying to play tic tac toe.  I loved how the sun was shining right on Angel Moroni on top  of the Pocatello temple.

November 23 -  It snowed in the morning, then it rained, then it snowed again.

Blake and I got to go have Thanksgiving Dinner with my parents and their table mate Bourbon at Parkwood Meadows.  The meal was  delicious, and we  left feeling stuffed!

When we got home, I had Blake help me put up our skinny, tall tree.  

We got more snow before I went to bed.

November 24 - It blew the snow all the way up onto the porch.

All the stockings were hung by the .... stairs with care.

I got all the Nativities put up.  This is always a very peaceful thing to do.

November 25 - The entry way and dining area are all decorated!

November 26 - Happy loves to get pets from Grandpa, and we have a little Monkey Penny under the table. Penny loves to eat and tells you that you're not shoveling the food in fast enough.  Ryder, Molly and Hallie made a "City" in the basement.  They were so proud of themselves and asked that we come and take a picture.  They did clean it up really well when it was time.

November 28 - Look at the beautiful moonrise!

November 30 - Michelle and I went up to decorate Mom and Dad's little place. The first thing we did was to hang the gorgeous banner that Tricia made for them. It looks so nice! We changed out the fall decorations for Christmas on the shelves and the table under the TV.  We found a little place for the cute little tree.  It all looks so festive now.  Little Paul told us that he was turtle when he sat in the bucket.
