November 08

Ha ha, I guess I better post the month of November before December is over.

I went to a wonderful doula conference the first weekend in November. It was great to associate with other Utah doulas and be inspired. A few of us went to dinner after and ended up talking for hours. Pretty crazy, but fun.

Our Stake volleyball team played in regions the first couple weeks of November. It was SO fun! We ended up forfeiting a game the first Saturday because they didn't tell us we had another game, so no one showed up. So we had to work our way through the loser's bracket. These were some intense, very exciting games. On the next Saturday we played about five sets of games. We played from 11:00 to about 5:00. Some of the games were scary and we were trying to catch up from behind, but we ended up winning everyone and took 1st place! Wa hoo! Mark and the kids had fun watching on Saturday, but we actually didn't get any pictures. Bummer.
Later that night we went to a work dinner for the finance department. I discovered that I actually know some of the wives of the husbands who work with Mark. It was kind of funny because I thought they looked like other people I know. After talking with them I realized who they were and why they looked familiar to me!
We went bowling for family home evening. Caleb was hilarious. He liked to throw the ball, run away, and then turn around and watch it. He got pretty excited when the pins fell over. Mark went bowling with the Elders Quorum a few nights before. One of the guys let Mark use his ball and Mark bowled a 192!


I went to see Twilight with Lyndi. A lady rented out a theatre at Gateway and sold the tickets to friends and friends of friends. The whole theatre was full of women, pretty funny. She gave a little gift bag to everyone. One of the gifts was a Cullen necklace ha ha. I missed a lot of the first part of the movie because there were 2 accidents on I 15 and I 215 was closed because of an accident. But what I did see they did a good job. The best part for me though was getting to talk to Lyndi for a while after. I didn't take pictures of Thanksgiving, but we had a really great Thanksgiving at my parent's house with almost all of my family.


The extended Weaver family has a Christmas get together the Saturday after Thanksgiving for whoever can make it. We do a little gift exchange and play volleyball. It was so fun. Here's some pictures of Caleb and Brynli opening their presents. Our cousin Debbie gave us a great present of the Proclamation on the family with a bunch of our family's pictures as a border around it. I really like it. :) We watched part of Kung Fu Panda after the party with John and Michelle's family. Now Caleb will randomly do the I love Kung Fuuuu (with his head stretched up in the air). And then Brynli does it, which is so funny to watch.
Check back in a few days because I have a couple cute videos of Caleb and Brynli I'm going to post. :)
