Friday was our last day in Oklahoma before we headed home.
We held our first annual Morris Family 5K.
My time improved by 2 minutes…I was happy.
That night we went to Woolaroc for a hayride and to see the lights.
And who can go to Oklahoma without going to Braum’s??
We can’t!
Thanksgiving Day
We worked up an appetite by doing lots of fun things.
Aunt Kristin helped the boys discover crawdads in the creek behind Grandma and Grandpa’s house.
I spoke too soon.
Then Josh and Andrew went to the park with some awesome Aunts & Uncles.
Finally about 6:30 we got to eat.
We had to wait for Uncle Ben to get into town.
The food stretched down the table as far as the eye could see.
And Luke entertained us all…

Happy Birthday to me.
In Oklahoma the weather was beautiful, so we were able to spend lots of time outside.
The morning after we got there, Grandpa got out the kites and let the kids fly.
Josh had a blast; Andrew was too scared.
Luke enjoyed chips for dinner.
And all three boys loved the speedy fast slide they had there.
Such a fun birthday!
Thursday, November 19 we flew to Utah for our Kaylie’s (our niece) wedding.

On Friday the 20th we attended the pre-wedding dinner.
On the way there, Josh and Andrew took a nap.
The dinner was a lovely meal with a beautiful program.
We thoroughly enjoyed it.
And the kids “enjoyed” it in their own way.
Josh danced with his cousins.
Andrew hid out under the table.
And Luke ate everyone’s wedding favor and
gave his typical :cheese: face for the picture.
but they are small kids with a small attention span…
so please forgive us.

Saturday the 21st was the wedding in the Draper Temple.
It was beautiful.
Followed by a super fun reception.
In between all of that, we took the kids to visit BYU and hung out with my awesome sisters.

Sunday we relaxed.
Since Luke is currently the youngest cousin on the Hancock side, he gets LOTS of attention from his older cousins.
They also like him lots because his name his Luke…just like Luke Skywalker.
Who wouldn’t??

Monday the 23rd we flew to Oklahoma.
see part II for details.

Today was Luke’s first day of nursery.
For about a month I’ve been lifting him up and letting him look through the nursery window.
He always liked what he saw in there.
Fun.
Toys.
Finally his day came.
He went. a little unsure of himself. But he went.
And Darrin and I sat back and actually listened.
Soccer ended the last week in October.
Josh really improved over the season.
This picture describes what he’s good at: defender.
Cute but cold spectators.
Josh and his trophy.
He was very proud.
And here’s what the coach said about it:
Halloween was a busy day.
We carved pumpkins and roasted pumpkin seeds.
This year I bought one of those kits with the tools and patterns for pumpkin carving.
Man, it was lots of work, and it took Darrin and I forever to do 2 pumpkins.
Anyway, who knows if we’ll do that again, but nonetheless, here’s Andrew’s monster.
After Darrin’s soccer game, we got all dressed up.
Josh was superman.
Andrew was Optimus Prime (a Transformer).
And Luke was Elmo.
He was so cute wandering the streets with his little bucket.
Today was an absolutely beautiful day.
To celebrate, we went to the park to play in the leaves.
Piles.
and.
Piles.
everywhere.
When we got back from talking a walk around the park, the lawn mower guy had mowed up the leaves.
What a party pooper.
Luckily we played in them before we walked.
And yes, we did celebrate Halloween…look for pics tomorrow.
