Such a fun November!!

I have been enjoying life this November, especially this weekend.
I got to go to the UofU vs BYU game with my Dad, Uncle Reb and John. Since the U won John's Dad Stan has to cook us dinner in a UofU Tee shirt Dad let me barrow. I will post picture when/if this happens (sometimes BYU fans back out on bets).
Yesterday morning Kelton came and climbed in bed with us and we played the "I love ____ about you" game. It is a pretty simple game where you name something
you love about the people you are playing with. When it was Kelton's turn he said ,"I love Dad in my dream where we meet on the mountain and camping, and he laughs" and "I love that Mom is painting and she smiles.". At night when John tucks Kelton in they always talk about where they are going to meet in dream land and hang out. I never realized that Kelton thinks it is cool that I paint. I know I thought it was awesome that my mom would draw when I was little but it makes me beam with pride when Kelton says he loves that about me.
How goofy cute is that?

So this post was inspired by this week and my friend Megan reminding me how grateful I am for everything that is.
