November 2010

On November 3, Coy lost his first tooth. He told me that is tooth was hurting and wanted me to look at it. When I told him it was about ready to fall out he said, "I've been waiting for this my whole life." When the tooth fairy came she left, $2. Coy was super excited and a week later he lost another one. At this point he has only lost two teeth, but he checks then at least once a day to see if any more are loose.

The boys finished soccer for the year. Coy got a metal and Austin a trophy. Coy wore the metal everday for about a week and took it to show and tell. Austin wanted to sleep with his trophy and also took it to show at school.

We celebrated Thanksgiving at home, with just the four of us. This is the first year we haven't had someone visit in many years. The boys kept asking when Poppy (my dad), or their cousins were coming. Jon had to work that night, so I took the boys to see the movie, Tangled. We had a good day with lots of food.

The last thing we did for the month was bowl in the Turkey Doodle Bowling Tournament. Jon and Coy were on a team and Austin and I were on another. If you bowled three strikes in a row you got a turkey. Jon did it and the boys were so excited that we got to take one home. When it was over and they posted the scores, Ausitn and I came in 6th place and Jon and Coy came in 7th. It was a lot of fun and the boys are already talking about next years.

October 2010

In October, Jon and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. It was my year to plan the date. We went horseback riding, then to lunch. Loved the horseback riding. My horse was a little stubborn and wouldn't stay on the trail and didn't move at the pace he was suppose to. All he wanted to do was eat all the grass we past. At one point the guide had to take control of my horse. My horse George didn't like that and tryed to get away from the guide and back to the grass. I was too much of a softy to make him do anything. We rode for 2 hours and I was so sore when we got done. Jon started feeling sore the next day. That night we went out to dinner with the boys. It was nice to have our alone time but also to spend some of the day with the boys.

The boys were busy all month with soccer and bowling. Coy is doing better with each game and is even starting on most soccer games. Austin is loving soccer this year and has even scored a few goals.

For Halloween Coy was a Wheates box and Austin was a solider. They love trick or treating and didn't want to take the costumes off after we got home. Of course they loved the candy too and wanted to eat it all before bed.
