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.

I am thankful for:
sweet potatoes

Authentic friends
family
popsicles

seeing my breath outside
crumbly dead leaf sound
Climbing trees
fresh bread smell
pink frosting
strawberries still attached to plants
ladybugs
strangers who don't look away when we meet eyes
my brother Pete
nieces
small shoes
red licorice
timed coffee makers
bottle openers

paper clips
hoodies
music
SINGING!
smiles
rhyming

Love, Mimi
