November - A birthday girl and a bit of fun

November passed in a blur.. much like the months before and since.  Thank goodness for cameras that help us capture and remember moments!

Spud was not a huge fan of the pumpkin-mobile

Our sweet Berry turned 2!  I love the terrific twos!  Berry is my little shadow and gives her interpretation on whatever we are doing.  With all her commentary, her vocabulary and phrase length increases hourly.  With her blonde curls, droll little mouth and full cheeks, she looks like a cherub. She is easy to love and loved by all - her sisters, the neighborhood, the ward, and the cute elderly couples at Costco.

She loves ducks - and quacks!

 Berry currently loves dresses and skirts.  She is a fairweather fashionista and changes her clothes at least four times a day.  She hates to be dirty and is equally odious of dirty clothes and so sometimes she strips down for something new simply because her sleeve is wet. She was thrilled with this new ensemble for her collection from Aunt Sharla (whom she also loves).

Happy Birthday Berry!

Soccer season ended and somehow I only have a picture of Curly's team.  Lou also played this season.  Both had a great time and great coaches.  Lou lived for the end of game snack and the end of season trophy - it is a start I suppose.

During Thanksgiving, we enjoyed a short reprieve from Fisher's intense work schedule and were able to be with family and each other for a couple days.  We had dinner with the East Valley Lovell's - which is always enjoyable.

The day after Thanksgiving, we hit the Phoenix Zoo.  The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed a slow pace as we watched the interesting animals and people at the zoo.

The girls enjoyed a campout with dad in the backyard
