Ethan's continues to love scouts.  He did the flag ceremony a few weeks ago.  He can hardly carry the flag, it's three times his size, but he did a good job.

He still is a climber!  The other day the kids were out back playing the with neighbors.  I looked out the window and couldn't see Ethan so I hollered to Cole and asked where he was.  "I"m here mom" said a tiny voice.  I looked around and still couldn't see him, but I could tell he was close by the sound of his voice.  When I noticed some movement in a big tree I looked up and Ethan had climbed up to the top of a big tree. I still can't believe we haven't had any broken bones yet with him.  He climbs EVERYTHING.  I often see him climbing up the top of the basketball hoops at recess.

Ethan had his first official late night with a friend.  They had a Wii party and Ethan requested the following snacks: Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids, Grape Fanta, popcorn, and Lime Chips.

Cole continues to be crazy and lovable.  Living right across the street from the elementary school has it's disadvantages, like when the kids can see there house outside at recess and decide they are just going to walk home in the middle of school.  Yes, Cole decided to do that last week.  But it actually was pretty dangerous because we live on a fairly busy road.  The principal caught him just in time, but he did have to spend the next day in the principals office during recess.  That morning before he left for school he said the following in his prayer, "Please bless that I can have a good time in the principals office."  Shawn and I both laughed, but he actually did end up having a good time.

Liv is still dancing and playing and being the cutest little diva.

Liv and I went out on a girls lunch.

We love to eat at Panera.  It's the only restaurant that everybody loves so it tends to be our choice for eat out nights.  Last week we stopped by for a quick dinner and a cute older couple came up and said, "this is a great example of the perfect American family."  We smiled and thanked them and I realized how truly lucky and blessed I am to have the "Perfect American Family".  Especially during this wonderful monthly on Thanksgiving I feel truly grateful to be surrounded by such a great family.
