November

 I really thought I posted about November.  Drat.  Anyway, we started the month off with sinus surgery for Jake.  He went in thinking it was going to be no big deal, and it was kind of a big deal.  He was pretty miserable.  Some people get all happy and nice on heavy drugs.  We learned that's not the case for Jake.  Kate tried to joke with him and it was not well received.  It does seem like a pretty miserable surgery, so I understand his misery.  

We had a fun weekend with all the family when everyone came up for Cousin Megan's farewell.  A bunch of us went to Top Golf.  That was our family's first time and it was fun!  Jake golfs, but none of the rest of us do so it was entertaining.  The whole family was at Megan's farewell.  She did a great job and it was fun to see everyone!

Thanksgiving was good fun.  The Johnson's joined us in St George, and it's always a party when the Johnson's are around.  We got to St George Tuesday night and the fridge wasn't working.  This is never a good thing, but especially not for Thanksgiving.  I almost told the Johnson's to turn around.  Luckily Zack was with us, and he's a genius when it comes to fixing things.  We experienced the miracle of the fridge in that the fridge worked enough to get us through Thanksgiving.  Kate put it best when she said, "you can't have miracles if you don't have problems."  Wise words.

We started off Thanksgiving day with a turkey trot along the dam.  Followed by a polar plunge into the reservoir.  There wasn't a ladder back up to the dock so after we jumped in we had to swim to the shore.  It wasn't very far, but it felt like I was swimming forever.  We immediately went to the hot tub where we discovered we could make water shoot up from the side of the hot tub.  So Sage sang and led us in a fountain performance.  It was just like the Bellagio in Vegas.  Then some of the boys entertained us with belly/back flop contests. 

We sent the boys off on a Jeep ride so we could get dinner ready.  Dinner was mostly good.  I still haven't managed to make a good turkey, but I don't care enough to do anything about it.  All in all it was a good weekend.  We did some bike rides, some jeeping, spent time with family, and ate good food.  Doesn't get better than that.
