The middle to end November 2018

Girl trip to Horseshoe Bend!

(Sara's friend Matty)

Enjoyed a date night with this handsome guy at a restaurant that we had never been too or heard of but apparently has been around for 30 years here in Flagstaff!

The evening before Thanksgiving.  We took my mom and Larry to the Crown Railroad Cafe for dinner.

Loving these big smiles!  Karlee and Grandpa Larry!

You better listen to grandpa.......

My cute adorable little mommy!

Sara and grandpa time!

You gotta be sneaky when taking pics of Kyle......lol

My handsome son :)

My oldest baby in my lap......a sweet moment, but man has she gotten big to hold like this hehehehe :)

I popped in to photo bomb it!

Duck pond

We enjoyed watching the geese fly above us.....

Dinner out as a family!

We all went to Chilis

I'm not sure what Sara is doing to her sister lol

Kyle and his roommate Adrian

Karlee and grandma having a margarita together.

after dinner the kids scattered and mom, Larry, Ben and I went to Little America to walk through the pretty Christmas lights.

Oh gotta throw in this silly pic of my mom and those giant shoes at Marshalls......

Christmas Tree Decorating time!

Karlee had all 4 of her wisdom teeth pulled.

She was a little silly afterward....

she was entertaining to watch her with a shake and numb big puffy lips...

puffy face, sleepy, hurting mouth......

I will leave you here with a pretty snowy cold pic....more to come I'm sure since I think our snow season has only just begun.

November 2018

November went by fast.  It took a little while for it to look like Fall after our very early first snow of the season but as you can see we made it.  I love watching the seasons change.

I love the colors of Fall

I love the sound of the crunchy leaves.

I love the sun shining bright on a chilly Fall day.

I'm grateful for each day I rise to have the opportunity to share the joy and blessings that the Lord places in my life daily even on the rough days.

Spontaneous weekend moments

Wow! I didn't know I was so far behind on my blog. I have three posts sitting waiting to be finished and then posted.  Well life gets busy what can I say.  So here is one that should have posted a while back. 

My oldest took a quick trip to Las Vegas with her girlfriends.  She had fun but she said that one trip would be enough for a long long long time.  I remember feeling the same way when I got back from my girls trip to Vegas many years ago. 

My sweet silly Sara Bear!  In this picture its hard to tell but she is showing off her nose piercing.

I think at the end of October or beginning of November, we went car shopping with Kyle.

Crazy!  I helped my son purchase his first vehicle!

18 and buying his own vehicle!  

He got a 2015 Toyota Camry 

I'm so thankful that he has a good reliable car that we don't have to worry about like the truck, and Ben doesn't have to work on it anymore.

It blows my mind that my kids are growing up so fast and living in this crazy world making big adult decisions.  I'm very proud of all three of them.
