November 2015

This is Kip and Napoleon, I mean Noah and Abby - riding around the neighborhood with Noah's contraption. Abby loved it and I love that Noah likes to entertain her.

We visited our Veteran grandpas' graves on Veterans Day this year. It was a perfect time to be at the Mesa Cemetery because as we were there, a military plane formation flew overhead in honor of the Vets.

 

After the Mesa Cemetery, we headed over to Riggs's cemetery where we left a plant and had a picnic with Grandma, aunts, and cousins.

Noah and Sophie had parts in the Primary Program mid-November. I wondered if it would be their last, since next year at this time they will both be 12 years old and in young men / young women (insert sad face). I think next year the Primary Program will be earlier in the year though, so maybe they still have one more! 

Noah finished up his season on the i9 basketball league and sadly, his team finished in last place out of the 4 teams in that age group. All season long, we laughed about how Noah was for once not the biggest / tallest player on his team. Noah always gave his effort even if he was the only one on the team doing so. He was fun to watch even if his team didn't win much.

The day after Thanksgiving, we took a trail ride in the Teryx around Grandpa's property and all around it. It was pretty cold outside but we had a good time.

We also built a little bonfire in our backyard that night and ate dinner, made smores, and tried to play a few games (that didn't quite work out haha)!

We did our annual bike ride / football game on Saturday after Thanksgiving.

 

We really missed Riggs playing in that football game with us but I have no doubt that he was there with us in spirit that day!
