Sugar Gliders and Early Winter

In the summer, we tried to help Ryker learn about the dangers of impulse buying (something he loves to do) by making him wait before purchasing a $40 pair of sunglasses. That delay turned into fish and then some expensive flying squirrel rats. After a long and lengthy bonding process, they are finally to the point of running around on the kids' clothes. Well, one does, the other is very bity and that's why his new name is Bity.

Fructose is very sweet and enjoys attention.

Aspartame is Bity, because he's not real sweet. This is still Fructose.

His real name is Evie, I don't remember why.

Fructose makes more sense.

Jens and Leo went as twins to school the other day.

Ryker's hockey games have begun, DeA used the late start to go on a little dinner date.

He is enjoying it so far, and scored a goal in his first game.

We had a very wet and deep snow storm in early November. It felt like January.

Sundays at church are fun when I get to watch Luca during primary.

It was weird to see trees still with leaves and all that snow.

A snowy Sunday is perfect for homemade carne asada nachos.

Ryker's second game went well, he didn't score a goal but he played hard.

Waking up early for seminary is killing DeA more than it is affecting Rock

Dad, Nick and I took a weekend for elk hunting. While we were at elk camp, we found time to buy new couches that are softer, fluffier, and more comfy than the ones we have now.

We didn't see any elk, but I did come across this ram on the way home.

The November snow at sunset makes for good pics with the kids.

Jens wanted to cuddle with Leo, so she had me put him on her lap. He wasn't sure about it at first, but after a few minutes he seemed very content.
