Thanksgiving

We had a nice Thanksgiving this year.  Once again, all my siblings came to my moms but Noah was with Kent.  We are hoping to get things on track somehow so that we are on the same schedule.  Of course we all ate a ton and then hung out and played games and just enjoyed each others company.   I thought I had taken some pics but didn't get any this time.

School Basketball

Noah made it on the jr. high basketball team.  He is so excited.  I didn't have much hope for him to make it, not because I didn't think he was good enough but because there was 100 kids trying out and they were only going to choose 3-4 7th graders.  He loves basketball and tried his heart out.  He made it along with Cody Meza  and Nick Yingling so that is pretty exciting.  His first game is next Wednesday.

Halloween

It's kinda weird and sad not to do the whole Halloween thing like going to the school parties and parades.  Noah actually ended up trick or treating with Josh and some of his friends from school.  He wasn't going to go at all until they invited him at the last minute.  He dressed up as a basketball player.  Pretty original right?  lol  This will probably be his last year going.  Sad that he is growing up so fast and getting too old for some of these kiddie things.

We also went to the Scarecrow Festival

Carving pumpkins

Wicked in Vegas

This past weekend we went to Vegas and went and saw the musical "Wicked."  I didn't really know the music or story before we went so I wasn't sure if I would like it but it was awesome.  It's probably my new favorite Broadway play.   I loved the music and story.  We stayed at Tara's.  It was my parents, Tara and Kenny and Mel that went.  Noah came to Vegas with us but he just stayed with Raleigh while we were at the play.

Tara was my date for the play...lol

SBO

Noah tried out and made it for SBO (Student Body Officer) at Matheson.  He is so excited.  He campaigned really hard.  We had fun making his posters and figuring out each day what he could hand out to help him get elected.  He was one of the 4 chosen out of about 30 students to go to the finals.  I was so proud that he even wanted to try out.  He has to wear a shirt that says SBO Matheson every Monday and Wednesday.  He also gets to help do the school announcements and news, help at school events and assemblies.

Parade

Noah got to be in the Cyprus homecoming parade as an SBO.   It was kinda cheesy but he had fun.

This is a picture on the wall of the school of the SBO's

Brigham City Temple

Today we went down to the Brigham City Temple to walk through it before it was dedicated.  It was gorgeous inside and out.  It was nice to walk through and have such a peaceful feeling that you only get from going through the temple.
