November 2019

November started out a little rocky with everyone getting the stomach bug except Bentley’s and Jon. After we got through the sickness though it was a great month! Bentley’s football team did threat and made it to the championship game. He got the chance to play at ASU stadium. His team did awesome and won the game! Bentley in particular had a great season playing both offensively and defensively! He helped solidify the win by intercepting a long pass down the field. It was awesome! Wyatt also had a great season making several great plays and made it to the championship game. His team ended up losing but they fought hard. Bentley will be going with his team to Florida for nationals in December. I am not sure that I love how much football is taking over right now but my boys do seem to love it! Bailey and Sophia has fun playing soccer. Sophia was the star of her team and it was her first time playing! Bailey also was a big player on her team and really helped them out as the sweeper defensively and passing/scoring goals offensively. I am proud of all of them and love supporting them in their talents and hobbies! Olivia is so good to go along to all the practices and games! She is the best and cutest little cheerleader! Bailey also had the opportunity to be in the Gilbert days parade again with her vocal performance group. We had fun going to the parade and seeing her sing. After we got donuts at our favorite donut shop bosa. I was able to go to a baby shower for my good friend Carli and set up Christmas with the kids the weekend before thanksgiving. With the holiday falling so late in the month I wanted to get a head start. Next we went to Santa at bass pro and got our annual photo with him. Olivia loves the idea of Santa but wanted nothing to do with sitting in his lap. We also got to do a little birthday celebrating with Sophia! She wanted to get her ears pierced. We went to the outdoor mall got some sees candy, ate some lunch, and then went to Claire’s to get her ears done. She was sure that’s what she wanted until they pierced the first ear. After that she started crying and refused to let the worker do the other eat. After some consoling and time she decided to be brave and get the other ear pierced. They turned out so cute and she is happy she got them done! The next day was thanksgiving so I made a pumpkin pie and a black bottom banana pie. I also made a salad. My aunt Corina was kind to have us all over and host this years thanksgiving. My siblings all went to their in laws so it was a smaller group but it was a lot of fun and such a beautiful day! It was supposed to rain and we are glad it didn’t. Everything was delicious as usual. The rolls, pie, turkey, and stuffing are my favorite! The next day was Sophia’s 5th birthday! I let her pick what she want she wanted to do as a family! We had a bid breakfast, went to see frozen 2, and went to lunch! Later we had cake and ice cream and I took her to get a bunch of birthday freebie treats the local businesses offer which was more fun than I thought it would be for her! She loved it! She also got to pick out her very own pink suitcase. She has been wanting one and is so excited to go on a trip and use it. She lives frozen dolls, roller blading, riding her bike, playing at the park, watching cartoons, painting , and coloring! She also got a bracelet kit for her birthday and lives making them! Sophia Is growing tall, has long blonde hair, a funny sense of humor, is a great big sister, a kind friend, and a wonderful daughter. She is a hard worker and say dreamer all at the same time. She loves the colors purple, pink, blue, and yellow. She is a leader in her church group and school group and sets a great example for those around her. I just love spending time with her and admire her desire to be kind and choose the right!
