November mix

November felt like a busy month over here, with Ben flying out doing interviews, sick kids, a birthday, anniversary, etc. To start off the month we went to a walk to cure diabetes to support our cute little friend, Anthony.

Then we celebrated Ben's big 29th early (before he flew somewhere) with the traditional Red Robin birthday burger, and (on a separate night), pizza and a Coldstone ice cream cake with friends- birthday boy's favorites.

That was followed by Ben being gone for multiple days, and Paige throwing up ALL over her bed....

This little boy's cheeks just kept getting bigger...

 He loves his binky

 And the swing

 And he was one adorable 8 week old

Paige has adjusted really well to being a big sister. This is her "taking pictures" of Deacon with a remote.

 And in big news, Paige is potty trained!!! (This felt like all we did the entire month ;) I had tried training her this summer but after day 2 realized she was definitely not ready. But she did great this time! We rolled up the rug and she was running around in only "princess panties" for a few days, but about day 3 she started to get the hang of it. Bribing her with "special treats" (and piece of candy) was key. She is now a full fledged pantie wearer and does awesome with it! Huge relief to check that one off. I don't think I've ever talked about poop and pee so much in my life.

We went to a Duke game! I know this seems crazy, but it was family night (so the kids only chance to go) and we only stayed until half. Paige liked seeing the mascots and all the cheers. We stood with our little LDS- MBA group, and since we stand out like a sore thumb with all of us young couples with kids, Paige made the jumbotron twice!

We went to Marbles kids museum with Fuqua Families. Such a fun place, Paige loved every minute.

We celebrated our 4th anniversary by finding out both kids had double ear infections. And then a company dinner. Keeping the flame alive :)

And then we just rested.
