NOVEMBER 2012

What a fun month! This month was full of soccer games, birthdays, a trip to Las Vegas and Thanksgiving! I love the fall time and the start of the holidays. We have had so much fun together! Here are the fun things we have done this month!

November 2nd--Ethan playing his little piano!

November 3rd--Travis' very last soccer game!

Travis even got a trophy.....that was the highlight of the soccer season!

November 9th--Playing with the cousins! We had the cousins over so Cara could have a little free time on her birthday! They loved getting all of the cars organized!

November 10th--On our way to Las Vegas for one of my cousins missionary homecoming and my other cousins missionary farewell! Ethan fell sound asleep on the car ride!

And these boys are so excited to go to Las Vegas! The best part is watching a little show in the mini van on the way down!

At the M&M world in Las Vegas! The best part was picking out their own little bag of M&Ms!

Ethan and Mom!

Tyler and Travis...they loved this little M&M guy!

 

All the cousins together at the M&M world! This was a cool M&M race car!

November 11th--Happy Birthday Ethan! Waking up in the hotel!!!

I couldn't help but take so many pictures of Ethan on his 1st birthday! He is so dang cute!

 

Had to get a snapshot of his two favorite things....his fingers and his little yellow blanket!

We had a little party in the lobby of the hotel before church!

He got a musical basketball hoop from Grandma and Grandpa Clark!

And...he got this fun little push and go car!

Ethan checking out his new basketball hoop!

So cute!!! Ethan with Grandma and Grandpa Clark on his 1st birthday!

November 12th--Our little party for Ethan's Birthday! I was bummed this picture was a little blurry because it was one of my favorites from the night! I love this boy sooo much! He is such a calm, sweet boy. He loves for me to hold him. And, he is content sucking his fingers, holding his blanket and watching his brothers run around the whole house! He is a happy little boy and laughs so easily! He loves to eat and he loves to play with any type of ball! He loves when you talk to play little games with him and he loves any type of treat...just like his mom. I feel so blessed to have him as part of our family! WE LOVE YOU ETHAN! HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY!!

Tyler had wanted to go to Red Robin for such a long time....so we went there for his Birthday dinner! They brought him his own ice-cream sunday. He was thrilled!

Opening presents...the cousins came for a little cake and presents!

Tyler got his Team Umi Zumi car!

And his favorite thing was the Jake and The Neverland Pirate Ship from Grandma and Grandpa Murdock!

He also loved his Cars micro-drifter race car set from Grandma and Grandpa Clark!

He even got his new bike from Mom and Dad. He had lots of fun riding it around the whole house!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER! I love this boy so much! He has a tender little heart and is the first one to make sure everyone is okay! He loves his little shows...Jake and the Neverland Pirates and Team Umi Zumi! He loves to drive his little match box cars around the house. He loves to help me cook in the kitchen and he loves to play outside! Mostly he loves to do anything Travis does. They are best buds! We love you Tyler!

November 30th--Travis riding the train at the Christmas Renaissance fair!
