Guess who turned 28? Yep... Jonathan Mark Middleton has matured another year! November 23rd! We are truly a blessed family to have him as part of our lives. Happy Birthday Jon! We Love you!

VICTORY: UTAH 48 and BYU 24

What a fun way to finish out what has been a fun year of UTAH FOOTBALL! This was my first rivalry UTAH vs BYU game! What an experience!! It is so much more fun being at the games than watching them on the tv. Hopefully we will make it tradition and get season tickets every year! GO UTES!!( Sorry I'm a little late getting this blogged.)

Jon and I...in our UTAH spirit!

Zach and Nichole Robinson...friends from Sandy Fire!

Matt Gephardt (yes..it is Bill Gephardt's son) and the "face paint" guy...

And this is the field following the UTAH victory!!

Dave, Amanda, Jon

Jon and Amanda... Go UTES!!

Look Who's ONE!

Our darling little Addison celebrated her very first birthday on Sat. Nov. 15th. We had a great group of family come and support her. Addie has been sick and really hasn't eaten well this past week so she wasn't too into her birthday cake. I think she took one lick of frosting and that's it. The pictures show her cry of desperation to get out of her high chair! Kristian however was more than helpful to lick the frosting off the balloons and eat the cake.



Presents: Addie was more excited by the cute decorative bow than the actual "unwrapping" so luckily we had Brynn and Kristian to take care of that! Kristian and Brynn had a lot of fun climbing in and out of the big box! It was fun to have Brynn here to play (thanks Brynn for coming!) What cute kids!

The next morning: I found myself grateful to have have two strollers. As we learn to share it was also fun to watch them play together. Addison walks great, but not even...so she found her way into the couch or wall at times and couldn't figure out how to move her stroller back on track. The kids have had fun with Addison's new toys..the clothes were adorable... thanks to everyone who came the distance and showed your support to our cute little one year old. It was a great night!

Date Night--Bowling

We had planned to do a date night with Jon's brother Scottie and his girlfriend Bri. We planned dinner at Iggy's then wanted to go bowling. The first bowling alley we tried had an hours wait to bowl...so we at first decided to call it a night. Scottie and Bri went on their way and on our way home we decided to try another bowling alley just to see. We were in luck! So...we bowled!
We had a great time! It was fun to just have a night with just us and Kristian. A good friend offered to take Addison and I was glad she did as I feel we need to do more "one-on-one" time with each of the kids. Kristian had a blast! At first he used the bowling ramp thing, but then decided he was a big boy and wanted to throw it down all by himself. If I got too close to help him he told me to "Go Away!" Most of the balls ended up in the gutter (why we didn't think of the bumpers I don't know) but a few actually made it down the lane. Either way..he had a great time! We all did...it was fun night for me and my boys!! Thanks for a fun date night!

Outdoor Fun

We decided to spend a little time, for what could be one of our last nice days before the snow comes! It was fun to see Kristian kick the soccer ball and throw the football with Jon. Addison was loving being outside and had such a great time! Glad we were able to spend time outside together as a family before the cold sets in.

Trick Or Treat

Bob The Builder!!


Little Lady Bug!!



Halloween was so much fun this year! I took so many pictures I had a really hard time deciding which ones to post...even with that struggle I'm still sharing quite a few! Addison was our little Lady Bug "Cutest Little Thing Ever!" And Kristian was Bob the Builder! HE LOVED IT! After about 2 houses he figured out what it was he had to do to get candy. He was so cute and was always so good to say Thank You! He made a great Bob The Builder!! It definitely was fun!


Sad to say we didn't do any trick-or-treating in our own neighborhood. We went to see Grandma and Grandpa, did some "treating" in their neighbor hood, stuck around for dinner and a good halloween movie: "Charlie Brown: The Great Pumpkin"!


Kristian had a great time and we really enjoyed taking him around the neighborhood. He was a little nervous on some houses that were very decorated in the Halloween spirit, but he pushed through and made it to the door!!

Addison Is Walking!

Addison is walking and she is ready to take on the world! What a sweet and cute little girl she is! This video was taken about a week ago and now she is walking so much better and is all over the place!! Its amazing how quickly they pick it up and the progress they make in such a short time is so much fun to watch. I still can't believe my little baby girl is walking!! I can't believe she's almost 1 (Nov. 15th).. it has gone by way too fast! Its been fun though and I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful family and such darling kids!
