My November cuties...Emily and Leslie.
My favorite 7-month-old, Abby.
At the beginning of this month my old BYU roommate (Allison) came over with her 3 kids. They just moved here, so it was fun catching up!
Her 3 kids match up with ours, so it's especially fun!
On Saturday, November 5, we supported Melanie as she ran the Zeitgeist Half Marathon. Good job!!
They are so weird!
On Veteran's Day we went to an awesome park in Meridian. The park was packed since there was no school. It felt like a summer day. We had a great time!
My girls were so happy I let them eat the brownie batter. Am I a bad mom?
Most mornings look very similar to this. Abby is their favorite!
Last Friday we went to the Village Shopping Center in Meridian to see them light up the tree. There was a fun country band playing and Santa even made an appearance!
After the tree was all lit up they handed out gingerbread cookies and chocolate chip cookies. The girls loved it! It was a fun night. There is Emily sporting her Gemtek beanie!
The next day my sister Cassidy was in town for her bridal shower. I was excited to prepare one of the games. It was so fun to learn more about her and Spencer's romance. They get married in a month and a half!

Mom reading the girls stories before bed last weekend.
As mom says, "Abby just adores you!" I guess she does!
Crazy Emily with crazy hair!
Leslie sound asleep
Sisters
Socks and swimsuits...
Greg went to a convention in Chicago for five days last week, so we spent some time in Horseshoe Bend while he was gone. Grandpa Flake took the girls over to see the train.
I couldn't get a normal picture of these two...
Abby had cold feet, so Grandpa put his gloves on her feet. I guess it only made sense.
It was a fun time until we got kicked off for trespassing!
Now, a few pictures from Greg in Chicago...
It was so fun for Greg to go to Chicago for a Cleaning Convention with Joel!
Top of Willis Tower...this is Greg standing on glass that hangs 110 stories above the street.
After 5 days, Greg finally came home. "We're so glad when daddy comes home!"
Halloween in Boise!
Emily is Elsa, Leslie is Belle, and Abby is a ballerina.
The princesses
My pretty ballerina
Our girls!! The box was delivered to us that morning. Now we have bunk beds!
Happy Halloween!
Emily and Leslie have two very different personalities. It always makes me so happy when I see moments like this...and no fighting!
Leslie loves wearing my shoes. She looks better in them than I do!
Cute little Abby is 6 months old now!
Leslie and Abby
This is what happens to you when you have three daughters...sorry Greg! He's a good sport!
On Saturday, October 8, we went to Halloweenland with the Joel Flakes. Caroline and Emily loved the corn maze!
Here's proof that Leslie likes someone other than Grandpa Flake...
Riding the train
My favorite part: going up in the hot air balloon. My life long dream!
Last weekend we drove down to Utah to hang out with the Burrs. Here are Grandpa and Grandma Burr with their grandkids at the pumpkin patch.
6 cousins (4 girls, 2 boys)
Little Leslie
Emily and Leslie fighting over who should be on the tractor...I guess I take pictures of them not getting along too.
Looks like Emily won!
Grandma Burr with her favorite grandkids. ;-)
On Sunday, October 16 we stopped in Bountiful to see the Gabrielsens.
Favorite uncle?
Favorite cousin?
We finally got to meet Cassidy's boyfriend Spencer while we were there. He seems really nice!
When we got back into town we decided to have a special Family Home Evening. We made Halloween sugar cookies complete with Reese's Pieces, candy corn, and Halloween sprinkles. It was so much fun....we just may have to do it again before Halloween comes!
On Sunday, October 23 we had our Ward Primary Program. I'm the secretary in the presidency and Emily is a Sunbeam. She did a great job and had her parts all memorized. We were so proud of our little Emily and Leslie really wanted to be in the picture.
