November in a Nutshell

Ok, so the largest nutshell you've ever seen . . .

We visited Sea World again with our friend Annabelle and her mommy and baby sister.
Pumpkins, Porch, Pajamas . . .
Orange County Petting Zoo/ZooBubbles on the PorchOur friend's 2nd Birthday, she's in the purple, M didn't make it into the picture, but our friends are so cute.A few of the little dancers in my classOur community playgroup, held in the same room as dance class (above). Elijah and Willow are always fun to play with.Making sure all of his "Bob-oos" and "Choo-Choo's" get fed.Mom, it's just lunch, must we take pictures?Hot Chocolate at the Spectrum with Uncle Chase, Grandma and Aunt JessHe loved the Carousel ride, and loves his Auntie!
Thanksgiving!
Michael Jackson on the Wii - a blast!
Taking his "Choo-Choo's" for a walk
At Grandma Wright's house in Utah, he piled all the toys he could into that shopping cart!

Cousins who adore him.
At the church for Great Grandma Wright's funeral
At the Cemetery
Visiting Cousin Julia and her baby bunnies!
Max liked the dog more than the bunnies
Cousin Nathaniel showing Max his old "choo-choo". Aunt Becky got it out from the basement just for Max.
The magical snow in Utah! Max learned the word "snow", more like "no" and just LOVED it. Until he stuck his hand in it at the windy cemetery, then it was a little too cold!

My heart breaks . . .

I'm still in shock and I don't think it will seem real until I see it with my own eyes. The beautiful Provo Tabernacle caught on fire in the early morning hours today. The ornate stained glass, and spiral staircases are gone. I am relieved to hear that no one was hurt. I attended every Stake conference in this building from when I was born until when I went to college. Then after Jared and I were married our Wymount ward met there for Stake Conferences. There were also numerous concerts, especially at this time of year, that my family would attend together. Still no known cause. I just read the most recent article here. It mentioned how a picture of the Savior was saved, unharmed.

It's been awhile since I did a post like this. So Max has my hair but I think there are some features that are definitely Jared. I wonder if our next will have straight black hair?

It is getting really difficult to get a good picture of this kid these days. He'll look any where but the camera, if he does look at it, it is because he wants to grab it! I have so many of him during the past month that are just him looking side ways or running away! Oh well! Better than not having any I guess!
