Fall Ball Fun!

We have had a busy and fun November (who am I kidding, every month is busy!).  Rory and I got to go to a 60's themed costume party for his Sergeants 50th birthday.  I've never been to a costume party before that wasn't for Halloween, and it did not disappoint.  We danced, laughed and visited with friends for hours. 

A few days later I had a visit from one of my oldest and bestest friends Heather.  We met at the wave pool and were able to visit and catch up while the kids swam.  Sometimes all you need is a visit or talk with an old friend to make everything in life balanced again. 

Connor's traveling baseball team, the Sliderz had a baseball tournament in St. George, so we headed down for some warmer weather and baseball.  It was so beautiful down there and the weather was perfect.  While down there we celebrated Matthew's 3rd birthday.  Although we spent most of his birthday at the ball field he didn't mind, he played on the playground, in the drinking fountain and under the bleachers.  After baseball we went to dinner and had Coldstone cupcakes then went swimming back at the hotel.  Connor's team won 3 out of the 4 games and only allowed 13 runs the whole tournament (the lowest number of runs allowed out of every team), but they didn't make it to the championship.  Sunday we came home to the cold weather (boo!) and got ready to back to school and work. 

Little Mr. Matthew not only turned 3, but he also is fully potty trained.  Yay to no more diapers, EVER!  He's been in Early Intervention for his speech so the school district had a speech pathologist test him to see if he qualified for additional speech help.  He qualified so we wrote an IEP and Tuesday he began preschool at Wellington Elementary.  He was so excited to start school and use the Batman backpack Landon gave him.  I went to pick him up from school his first day and he was so disappointed he didn't get to ride the bus, it was so cute.
