October and November really breezed right by

My mom treated us to Chuck-e-cheese to celebrate both boys' birthdays. Skee ball!

They really wanted to drive......

After my friend Jared's wedding reception, I took Andrew and Ryan to watch the BYU women's basketball game against Duke( it was free!) since they were both on campus. They love going to the games and I like it because alot of the games are free:) and it's something everyone likes to go to. They even sing the school fight song, it's so cute!

Bowling at Fat Cats in Provo. They were doing a special deal and plus every pin you knocked down was .10 to the make a wish foundation. That afternoon we had the whole place to ourselves. It probably picked up after classes and work let out. It was nice.

I love it when I get shots like these. Smiles:)

Hum, let's see. October was pretty much a blur. November: I finished my first college course( nothing major yet but a step forward) on Nov. 17th and will begin the second part of it Jan 12th, Professional development. That will go for 8weeks every thursday night. I now have a big 4yr old! Yikes. Andrew is 5 and doing great in preschool!! He has abt a 3rd/4th grade reading level I would say( it's probably higher. Will see when he gets tested for school next year). He is reading the Magic Treehouse series and is already on the 3rd book. He also does spelling and is doing amazing with that. He also brings home math! And his teachers say he is making friends and doing great socially. He sits next to a boy who is also in our ward. They have become buds. And his buddy lives down the street from us. Andrew is loving school. Ryan is enjoying being 4. He is fully potty trained and I'm loving that. I don't have to potty monitor anymore and wipe anymore bums. :) Ryan is very active. He enjoys playing sports and doing things more than school stuff so I have to get creative when it comes to teaching him. I also think he has a visual learning disability and will need to get his eyes checked out. He gets his 0's and 8's, 2's and 5's mixed up. Letters he gets b and p mixed up. Will see what happens there. They are both learning to play the piano. My mom and I have taught them some things and Andrew learns from his step mom's piano too when goes over for a weekend.

Since Christmas is coming, I am starting to bake and even going to try to sell my things. I am doing banana bread, gingerbread ornaments, gingerbread houses and sleighs( which the sleighs will have a dozen cookies in it. My mom use to sell houses and sleighs through my dad's work and that is how she payed for christmas every year when I was a kid. Will see how that goes.......... At least the house is smelling good.
