Was gifted some more BSU girl's volleyball tickets! We took Sam and Sheerstie :) 

 Jacob was able to come out for a visit and the Ross Garner's too! We love getting to spend time with family wherever we can get it! 

End of year football banquet. Miles with his freshman coach, Coach Bunch. 

Gwen's sewing lessons are going so great! She made this halloween hot pad! 

This was the first November 15th without Mom here to celebrate- she would have been 75! I honestly didn't know how I'd handle this day. We decided to make texas sheet cake and head to the Discovery museum in Boise because they just happened to have an impressionist artist exhibit! Most of the day went well, but by the end of the day, I was in my room crying and missing my mama. 

Thanksgiving!! We spent it in Middleton with Mom and Dad and Tanner and Ondine! Of course, we had plenty of delicious food!

A lovely Sunday walk along the river and then hitting up the Scentsy Christmas lights when it got dark

Richie took the kids on a quick outing to Kuna Caves!

I had been going to a volleyball night once a week for a while now. Wednesday nights starting at 9pm in Boise because as busy parents, makin sure all the needs are met for our kids, 9 pm is the soonest we can start playing. Made for late nights, but it was such a blessing to me! One of our friends had season tickets to the girl's Boise State games and would invite us every once in a while. 

                                                    Another clothing swap in the books! 

Magical nights at Grandma and Grandpa's

We got lucky and had an impromptu reunion with half of the Garner clan. Ross and Amanda got a deal on tickets, so the James' came up and we made a party of it! We made homemade pizza, hung out at Eagle Island, helped Grandpa harvest honey, and hung out with each other. 

Other fun moments in October, including Benson comforting Davy at co-op after something sad happened at recess, Dad playing "dodge ball" with the kids on the tramp, The duck pond, Davy got really into make up and painting faces, 

Halloween!! This year, the kids decided on a "Lord of the Rings" theme. Miles was Bilbo, Gwen was Galadriel, Lindy was Arwen, Benson was Gimli, and Davy was Smaug.
