A good portion of the time they fight, argue, egg each other on, and so on.  But every so often they have these sweet moments with each other.  Bayes will stroke his hair and stand up for him.  Braddock will let her sit on his lap and make sure she is not sad.

Brothers and sisters may fight on a everyday basis but when it comes down to it they would do anything for each other.  I am so glad they have each other.

Our Fall

Scott and Braddock went to a scout camp by Idaho Falls and went fishing with his family. I think it is one of Scott's favorite traditions his family has.

A farm in Payson we visited.

Braddock helping me make Halloween cookies for Uncle Thane and the Halloween ward party. He loves to help in the kitchen.

The hero and the cow

The whole month of October was filled with Halloween parties and fun. I enjoying taking the kids to different free events around the community. Scott and Braddock were Red Skull and Captain America and Bayes and I were the cow and the farmer.

The Halloween party at the Disney Store. Bayes enjoyed trying on all the princess shoes

Braddock loves how his Dad dresses up in "theme" with him.

Trick or Treating.

Giving

Thanks

I love November and what it represents. It somehow makes it a little easier to be grateful and helps me to remember whats really important. I am so thankful for my family. For my two small ones who make it all worth it when they see me and burst with excitement. For my husband who works so hard for our family and brings his love of life into our home.

DIRTY DASH

Well Scott and I ran our first race together. We ran the "Dirty Dash" with Scott's work; not a lot of running went on, mostly just playing in the mud. To be honest some of it did not smell like mud, but we had fun and would do it again.

A before shot.

And the after shot.

Cruising

To celebrate graduation, we went on a Western Caribbean Cruise and had a blast. We went with Nate and Stephanie Littlefield (Nate was in the NP program with Scott). I strongly suggest going cruising with groups, then you always have people to do things with but you can also do your own thing. Bayes and Braddock stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Lowe's house, 8 days was a long time to be away from them. It was nice to have time just with Scott; with kids, work, school, and just everyday life it seems hard to squeeze that in. It sounds weird but I have missed him since we have been back.

We were able to go snorkeling, see some Mayan Ruins, zip lining, underwater scooters, barter shopping, went to some comedy and other shows on the boat, relax, sleep, and of course ALOT of eating.

Finally not students?

Scott graduated this last August as valedictorian in his Nurse Practitioner Program from BYU, and we couldn't be prouder of him. I don't think we will know what to do without the student life. Maybe some extra time? Maybe we will get to see daddy a little more often? Maybe a little extra money?

How exciting.
