Well - It's been over a month, so must be time for an update!  The month of November brought some wonderful memories with family and friends.

The 2nd weekend of Nov. saw us going to Omak to visit Grandpa & Grammy Pearson.  Unfortunately we didn't take many pictures of the weekend!  We were a 1/2 hour towards home when we realized we forgot some very important items of luggage (food for daycare) at Grandpa & Grammy's.  So a quick u-turn on Disautel & we were getting them before the return trip home!  Thankfully we weren't further.

The week of Thanksgiving brought some much needed rest for Geoff (basketball season is now in full swing after a successful 9th grade football campaign) and some time in the fall leaves for Aislyn, splitting wood for Geoff and some relaxation for Jocelyn.

Jocelyn was able to take 3 days off around T-day, so we made the trek (17hrs straight) down to Las Vegas to visit Jocelyn's family on her mom's side.  We left Tuesday afternoon - drove almost to Twin Falls before Aislyn had enough...a quick stop on an exit in the middle of nowhere...and on the road again.  We rolled into Jocelyn's Nana & Papa's at 5 in the morning.  Aislyn did amazing, and thinking about it some more, so did our dog Abby.  We spent some fun time with family and had a great 4 days there.

It was then on to Salt Lake City where we met up with Jocelyn's Dad for a quick (12 hr dinner & breakfast) but very worthwhile visit, and then Sunday was spent driving 10 and a 1/2 hrs straight back home.  The truly amazing part of this was that Aislyn spent the entire time in her car seat, save 15 minutes at Mountain Home, and she didn't complain.  She truly spoils us rotten.

Since T-day, we have enjoyed busy weeks & ends as basketball, both WSU & PHS have now thoroughly taken over our lives.  Jocelyn is the epitome of an amazing Coaches Wife and Aislyn has great fun at the games.   Aislyn is the free entertainment during any breaks at practice and the games!

We look forward to a restfull and relaxing Holiday Season!  Here are some (not all) pictures of our recent adventures.

We didn't know Aislyn could be serious - she always seems to be smiling...here however she struck the serious pose for us.

The leaves were a big hit!

Papa Mick (Jocelyn's dad) was trying to get some shut-eye...As he quickly learned, Aislyn was having none of it!

Jocelyn (and us!) really enjoyed spending time with Nana, Papa & family

David didn't want to smile, but her big sister was up to the task!

 

Caught in the Act!!!!!  Aislyn is starting to figure out how to crawl onto things, and as you can see, nothing is safe, including the dirty dishes!!!!!!  She tried to tell us these ones were clean, we think.

Getting ready in the morning is fun, sometimes!

Getting ready to go to day-care and basketball is fun stuff!

Did we mention Aislyn is crawling up stuff - we were working in the kitchen when we both thought, where's Aislyn???  Jocelyn said, "Come quick with the camera!"  Aislyn had climbed into her rocking chair and before the picture, was sitting on the arm next to the desk, leg propped on the toys, just talking away!

Aislyn loves bath time, and is sure enjoying the freedom of the "big-girl" tub!  If she sees us go into the bathroom, she comes crawling in, stands up next to the tub, and begins patting the
