November-The birthday month!

I know I said I would post more pics of Halloween, but there wasn't really much else too it.  The kids had fun trick or treating and brought home TONS of candy.  We will still be eating it at Christmas.  November has been super crazy.  It is hard to believe it is almost over.  Are you ready for birthday overload?  We celebrated my birthday, Nate's birthday and Liam's birthday.  We also have pictures of various activities that happened this month.  I guess the reason November flew by was because we were busy!!

Ashlyn is in a dance/tumble class.  I took a couple pictures recently of her at class.  She loves it!!

I had a another birthday.  I am getting old and I have goofy kids.

 Nate also had another birthday.  He is old too. (but not as old as me!) 

Gavin took this picture of Spike.  I think the caption is "leave me alone".

We are also painting!!  We are changing the upstairs to match the basement. Which means we are painting all the dark trim and doors white and the ceilings white.  In the process we are changing wall colors too.  We have already done our bedroom and the office.  Now on to the rest of the upstairs! (maybe after the holidays) :) Here are some pictures of the office before and after. The pictures don't do the changes justice, so believe me when I say they are great!!

Before.

 After

Nate got tickets to see Michael Buble for my birthday.  It was a really fun concert, but we learned that we are not party animals anymore.  Staying up late and getting up early the next morning were torture. :)

Ashlyn spent another afternoon organizing her my little ponys.  She wanted to get a picture of her with all of them set up. 

Now on to Liam's birthday and baptism!! Being 8 is great!
