These are the only pics I took documenting that Russ, Mom, and Dad came up to the Draper house for a VERY short and busy moving trip. Mandy and I each happened to drop in on their moving. I was especially grateful for being pregnant because they couldn't send ME up the ladder! :/
The boys found the whole event quite entertaining.
Next notable event.....Avin's 2nd birthday! He's getting so big! We had a LONG, event filled day with no naps. Our first fun birthday stop was Jump On It- a place in Lindon with a few bounce houses and lots of trampolines. (It's VERY cheap if all your kids are little. 3 and under are free and 4-8 are $4 an hour. Super worth it!)
Aunt Mandy and cousin Brightyn came along for the fun. :) Brightyn was mostly content just to sit and observe. I'm so happy this little girlie is warming up to me more! She's so stinkin cute.
(Funny side note--this post has 3 pictures of Mandy but NONE of them show her face!)
The big birthday boy himself.
On our way home from Jump On It, Justin called and wanted to go to Chuck-E-Cheese! Holy cow! So much for nap time! We went home, grabbed Avin's presents and cupcakes and headed out for more fun.
Grandpa Carlos is getting used to how spontaneous our little family is, and he was able to come meet us there with practically no notice.
Opening a super cute church shirt from Grandma and Grandpa Madsen. Thanks for the fun presents Mom! :)
Joshua and Austin picked out Avin's main gift, this Cars airplane! (He LOVES all airplanes)
Thanksgiving cutting of the fro
Our only pictures from Thanksgiving Day. We kept it super low key and relaxing and just made one short little family visit all day. We sat around and munched and I made my first apple pie! My favorite part of the day was making thankful books with the kids using leaves that we found a few weeks ago and pressed.

I know I'm looking up, but still........I'm very overdue for a haircut!! Cool activity for Thanksgiving!! Sometimes a low-key, relaxing holiday is a nice thing, huh! Especially in your 'condition.' :) xoxo
Wow, that WAS an eventful month. How fun! I'm so glad you invited us to Jump on It. That was such a cute little place, although Brightyn mostly enjoyed watching others bounce and running around....but she still liked it. Cute pictures......I couldn't see if Joshua's hair was much shorter in that last pic....or maybe that was before his hair cut? Was it just a trim? I didn't get to see a pic of YOU in any of the pics.....I'll have to do a post now of Jump on It because I'm pretty sure I got lots of you and Brightyn..... cute boys and pics! Oh, and your apple pie looks PERFECT.
