November Fun

 

I'm DETERMINED to keep more up to date with this blog of mine. 

With the upcoming major changes in our life.... we'll see how I do.  :)

 

Cohen took a gymnastics class at the end of last year. 

He loved it, and flourished in it.

Seriously, he was good.  As a mom, I loved it.

His biggest learning points for the class were learning to wait his turn, and not talk over the teacher and her instructions.  Yes, we still have a lot of work to do.  At least he was nice... just a little too talkative.

I wish I would have ended up with better pictures.

 

 

Waiting for his turn on the bar.

 

 

 

Cohen's on the balance beam in the back.

Just did a flip under the bar.

Parker is as cute as can be, and found a fascination with blowing on things that continues to this day.

 

He loves his trains.

 

 

I'm the "Activity Days" leader (over the bi-weekly activities for girls ages 8-11) for the girls in my ward.  I have a fabulous woman, Katie Brandt, to work with. 

I just had to snap some pictures of the last recognition night we put together.

I probably spent too much time working on the details for what came of it, but it was fun non the less.

 

 One day I was driving and just had to capture this lovely Portland treasure. 

I don't want to forget what it's been like to live here.

Medical marijuana.

Oh, dear.

 

Then there are other days while I'm driving around and I notice the beautiful scenery like this.

These lovely red trees were captured in late November.

So pretty.

 

Just another picture of Andrea with her kids???

No.

We are actually roller skating.

This is what happens when a stranger takes the picture and doesn't realize I really wanted the roller skates on our feet to be documented.

 

I realized once we started that me taking these barely 2 and 4 year old boys alone, roller skating for the first time was not the most brilliant idea I've ever had.

We had fun, but Parker moved like a snail, literally, and I wasn't allowed to pick him up (I tried and got in trouble.)

Cohen needed lots of coaching and encouragement, and got better little by little.

I was glad we only arrived for the closing 40 minutes or so.

I (nor the kids) would have been able to last any longer!

Fun times.  We are smiling, we did have fun.
