Something BIG happened at the Leavitt household yesterday. Our UNLV rebels beat North Carolina(the number one team in the country)! You better believe we were there cheering them on!



It was a big game for the little guy, so big he just couldn't handle it and dozed off for the whole second half. And his momma soaked up his sleepy little self. These moments of sleepiness are far and few between!



My two boys. My big boy was wishin he could storm the court with everyone else!


And for proof that I was there, a family photo.

And we celebrated with a slurpy for him and pumpkin hot chocolate for me!

The husband may or may not have come home and watched the game again on tv. Just for kicks and giggles.

It's a good thing he's so cute



Because he's been trying my patience today. He's in a screaming phase the past two days and mommy doesn't know what to do!
On that note, he's found a friend:



Good thing that friend likes to scream too:)

you know you have a true friend when you receive a letter in the mail and you open it up to find this beautiful surprise






Tears were shed. A bad day was made a great day. And this November as we are extra thankful, I am thankful for dear friends!

This puppy is almost 11 months. Wait, what?! 11 months?!! It's crazy how fast time has flown! We've been busy with Halloween festivities (trunk or treat, chili, caramel apples, pumpkin bread, and chasing the puppy around the house).
We saw the Anderson family this weekend. What a treat to see them, the fall leaves, and experience the first snowfall! Mmmm seasons, how I miss them!



Here's the powdered sugar mountains

Grandma beck!



And we celebrated an almost one year old. He was spoiled!



And judging by the sleepyhead, we had a wonderful trip!

Going to Utah always recharges me! My cup runneth over.

Bring on thanksgiving, birthday celebrations, and Christmas. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!

Sometimes it's rough being a kid.



Especially when mom turns on her hair dryer!

Sundays scream strolls. Not walks, per say, because walks sound like work, but strolls, strolls are leisurely.. A time for self reflection, for teaching, for singing primary songs, for visiting the playground. Yes, Sunday strolls are my kind of magic.






My baby boy with his jack o lantern smile... Hello fall!












Strolls wouldn't be complete without a game of peek-a-boo. He won by the way!



I found a street that had trees that were semi autumn looking. So you better believe we walked up and down it at least four times!



And last but not least, I have a saying in my house that goes like this... "if your dirty by the end of the day, it's been a good day." Cue dirty socks.
It was a good day!

Decor

With a new home, I have been stressed, excited, stressed about getting the decor just right! We've got some paint on the walls, and some pictures hung... But the cutest decor of all is underneath our kitchen table.






Yep. My decorations don't even come close to the cuteness of this boy. Our table is his little fort, and I have visions of this boy hiding under it in the future to stay away from "the bad guys" or putting blankets over it to make a cave...

I love having a boy.

Also, remember how he is up up and away on my stairs? Ya, he fell down them yesterday. All of them. Bad mom award? I think so!
