November pics

 Cody loves to "shave" like daddy.  I find him in the bathroom a lot playing with the "body wash shaving cream"  that we got for Father's day.  I'll be glad it's gone one day.  :)

 For Cody's birthday, Grandpa Bob sent him $20.00.  Instead of buying a book at Costco--one of their favorite things to do, we went to Value Village.  This is what we came home with.  He bought a Harry Potter puzzle and a leaning game about the planets for Decker, a Book about dinosaurs, a Disney storybook, a game called Cut the Rope--a lot like Connect 4, a Star Wars gun and a gumball machine.  They had a blast shopping together!

  November 4th--We took a pregnancy test.  Looks like we will be adding another baby to our family. YAY!!!  Mike told his boss at work first.  Then he started telling all his family.  I wanted to hold off for a bit to tell anyone...  A couple of weeks later I heard a new song by Garth Brooks called "Mom".  I sent a link to my family to listen to him perform it on Good Morning America without telling them the news.  Mike G was the first to respond and said he liked the song...then I told him the news as to why I sent it.  ;)  Eventually, I told everyone else.  ;)

 Here's our front porch at Halloween before I took everything down. The pumpkins came from our garden.

 My Origami Owl set up with the new dishes.

 Then for a Relief Society activity, I was asked to create a centerpiece for a dinner.  I had some fun with our pumpkins and GLITTER!

 Mike decided to do MOVEMBER.  Where men don't shave for a month to help raise awareness to Men's Health issues.  This was taken day 25.  The itchiness is starting to subside and he's starting to like it.

Lyrics to "Mom" by Garth Brooks

Little baby told God, hey I'm kind of scared.
Don't really know if I want to go down there.
From here it looks like a little blue ball
That's a great big place and I'm so small.

Why can't I just, stay here with you?
Did I make you mad, don't you want me too?
God said oh child, of course I do
But there's somebody special waiting for you

So hush now baby, don't you cry
'Cause there's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel tender, tough and strong
It's almost time to go and meet your mom.

You'll never have a better friend
Or a warmer touch to tuck you in
She'll kiss your bruises, your bumps and scrapes
And anytime you hurt
Her heart's gonna break

So hush now baby, don't you cry
'Cause there's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel tender, tough and strong
It's almost time to go and meet your mom.

And when she's talking to you make sure you listen close
'Cause she's gonna teach you everything you'll ever need to know
Like how to mind your manners, to love and laugh and dream
She'll put you on the path that bring you back to me

So, hush now little baby, don't you cry
'Cause there's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel tender, tough and strong
Come on child it's time, to meet your mom
