November 2012 in a nutshell!

So since my last blog post was pretty lame, I will make up for it today. November was a busy month. Full of Pow-wows, grades, road trips and family. 

I will first start off with Zachary. Every year the first grade classes put on a Thanksgiving Pow-Wow. They make headbands and sing songs. 

Here he is doing the "Snake Dance." 

(he's in the green!)

The little Indian! I love how he chose green and yellow for his feathers!

Next came our road trip to Oregon. We got into town on Wednesday, and had Thanksgiving at the grandparents. Then we headed to Grants Pass to my mom's. 

On our way to Grants Pass, we stopped at the hospital to visit Grandpa Rod and Grandma Vickie. Grandpa Rod had surgery, and they weren't going to be able to come for Thanksgiving. So we made a stop to say hello. 

On Game Day, Travis and I went to Tap Rock for lunch. Travis had never been and Alex was working that day so we made plans to go. Alex (my little, taller brother!) Is the head guy in the kitchen! So after he made our lunch (which was delicious!) He came up to say hi!

Brooklynn and Brynley got a long great. However neither one of them would sit still long enough for a picture! Brooklyn is 6 months 18 days younger than Brynley and they are the same size! Brooklyn is a little taller but they weigh the same!!

Here is my mom with 5 of her grand kids! My brother and his wife had a baby on the 24th up in Seattle while we were at my mom's. Penelope Zara Naranjo. 

Now there are (in age order) Devick-9 1/2, Madison 8 1/2, Zachary 6 1/2, Brynley 22 months, Brooklyn 18 months, and Penelope 5 days old!

NOW FOR THE BEST PART OF ALL!!!!

HEATHER!!! 

We have been best friends since we were 15! We are never in the same state at the same time! EVER! She came over and we hung out and talked for a while and made future plans to see each other! It had been about 7 years since we had seen each other! It was so fun to catch up. We email about once a week and send pictures. But it's always better when you can visit face to face!

Thanks to all our family for a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Blah...........

Well not a whole lot has been going on around here. Halloween is over, Thanksgiving is next week than Christmas. Has anyone else felt that the next 1 1/2 will go by way too fast? 

Anyway, I snapped this picture last week. It was pretty cute. Madison and Zach and been scared of the vacuum for a very long time. It probably doesn't help that Travis and I try to "suck" them up! I know awesome parents right here! 

In the past Brynley will cry when you turn it on if you are not holding her. So yes I hold her when I vacuum. Only until she calms down, then she is okay. So when Travis was vacuuming he convinced her it was fun and she wanted to help. 

Well that's all for now. Sorry it's short and lame. 

Bye

A Few Days Late...

Well I remembered yesterday that I didn't post Halloween pictures, and events. So I guess today is as good as any! 

We went to our Trunk or Treat. 

Brynn was not into taking picture!! All she wanted was her candy!

She was the cutest little kitty!

Zachary and his buddy Emalee!

She let me put the nose and whiskers on her, then I turned her around to look and she totally freaked out! So the whiskers got messed up!

Bailey and Ryleigh came over at the end of the night!

We stopped at our friends house. They had full size!! Beth took these pictures for us.

On a side note. 4 of Madison's good friends were baptized this weekend! These 2 are in or ward. Her other friend Lauren is in the Spanish Branch and her other friend Lacey B lives in Pocatello, Id.

Madison and Andrew have been friends since they were 2!! Being friends this long is like dog years! 

Madison and Hallye have been friends since they were about 3yrs old. Same with the other girls!

It was a fun week and a special weekend to share with friends!
