Update on the month of November!

Went out to dinner for Norris B-day with my family and Steve and Hannah and there baby Oliva. After we walked over to the festival of trees where Duran was working and got us in for free.  

Every Year the week of Thanksgiving Saugus high school basketball has there alumni game. It is where all the old player are welcome to come back and play the varsity team of that year. I have gone one year in the past and I was able to go this year. It was fun to go and see old high school friends. Most of them freaked out that I had a kid. haha. It was also the first time i had worked out since having the baby. So i wasn't sure how i would do but i did just fine running up and down the court. So much fun. I love playing basketball. It is great exercise and fun. 

Thanksgiving with my small but growing family:) 

 Celebrating Norris b-day again but with his family. His sister, Vanessa, made this awesome cookie dough cake that I found on Pinterest. It was so good and nice of her to make it:) We eat great food that night too. Fun to have everyone there. 

Came home from shopping with my mom from Back Friday and look what I found. Both of them watching TV cuddling in the warm bed. 

Uncle Duran playing with Tate. Super cute!

Tate isnt in this picture but he was there. It was Tate's first hike. We had fun hiking Towsely. We did the 5 mile hike. Its pretty much half way up and other other half down. Norris carried Tate the hold time and he just slept. He loves to be rocked! Rossi, Nixon, Ashton, Lincoln, Rocky, Sierra, Lucy, Tate Rich, Sophi, Norris, Brianna, and I went on the hike. 

Tate Milk Drunk! 

I got to see Elana, my foster sister, at Duran's wedding reception. I haven't seen her in like forever, at least 2 years. It was great to reunite. 

Dinner Date

Duran and Brittany took us out for dinner on Monday night b/c they wanted to thank us for all the help with the wedding. We went to Kisho's and it was great. I love going to restaurant that cook in front of you. We brought Tate along and he slept the entire time. It either a hit or miss with him. He is either and angle when we are out or his is crying his head off. Brittany and Duran hung around till they left for there honeymoon to Mammoth on Tuesday. They didnt leave right away b/c of the baby blessing. That was nice of them to come and be around everyone the day after they got married but it was very special to have them there. Thanks Duran and Brittany for getting married and for the dinner date:) It was fun to go out to eat! 

Tate sleeping during dinner. It was pretty loud there too:)

Busy Weekend

So my brother got married this weekend and we blessed Tate this weekend as well. What an emotion happy time for our family. Saturday was a great day. I was way more emotional then I imagined I would be. I must have started to cry like 10 times throughout the day. It was a wonderful temple sealing but not so great outside. It was raining and we got all wet. Tate did great thought. His Aunt Vanessa babysat him while we were in the temple. It was so nice of her to come down there with us and then to In-&-Out after to hangout and have lunch. The reception was so much fun. Lots of great food, laughter, and dancing. The place looked great. Well the next morning after we all were exhausted we got up and went to church and blessed out baby. He was fussy before and after the blessing but during he held it together. What a good boy! It was a very very special testimony meeting. We had lots of family bear testimony of the Savior and his wonderful gospel that gives us such great blessings. I cried a bunch and so did everyone else. We had lots of family come back to the house and eat yummy food and hangout. Tate was a little fussy b/c he was done with all the noise and running around but he made it through it and he slept great that night and the next day. 

The family with the two new additions, Brittany and Tate:) Missing Haden!
