BYU vs. Utah Football, November 23rd in Provo, Utah. Kevin was in town for Thanksgiving and wore around his red jacket all weekend for good luck. Bryan and Spencer were decked out in navy and all 3 headed off to the game, kick off was at 12pm. They sat together on the row dividing the BYU and Ute fans, and the heckling was intense. The last quarter of the game was exciting- both teams had their chance to win. BYU ended up victorious. Luckily the rivalry between the Hanks' men was all in good fun. The atmosphere at Bryan's office wasn't so friendly.
This is the story of our family and how we came to be. Hope this brings a few smiles.

Monday Night
This is our normal Monday night family home evening. Mom and both girls start at the piano with the "Family Night" song. Then comes a prayer, lesson, game/activity and we finish with treats. To our kids, it's the best night of the week! This last time we had a lesson on saying family prayers, we colored pictures to remind us to pray, we put up our Christmas tree and had root-beer floats.

Thanksgiving
For Thanksgiving Grandpa David, Grandpa Hanks and Uncle Spencer came to celebrate with us! We had a good fried turkey thanks to Bryan and the rest of dinner turned out too. The girls were thrilled to have new people to play with. On Saturday Grandpa Hanks, Bryan and Spencer went to the BYU vs. Utah football game and all had a good time. Here Emily and Grandpa David are being goofy and having fun.

Mr. Maestro
Bryan has finished memorizing his piano song, Dark Horse by David Lanz. He started learning it probably over 2 years ago. He now has all 10-11 pages completely memorized and plays it very well. He plays it quite often and the girls love dancing to it. This picture shows his grand finish- tongue out and hands flying!

This week
Sunday we had the time change- fall back 1 hour. I realized that with kids, that change means nothing. The kids still do their thing at the same time. We've been able to make Emily change what time she wakes up, Ashley no. So now my kids are not on the same schedule and that is dumb and Bryan comes home and it is already dark. Down with Daylight Savings! We had a really nice church day.
Monday we had family night. We had a lesson about love and then we colored happy notes and cards. Ashley was so excited she started doing this funny low voice saying 'colors, colors' right close to my face. She kept us laughing for a while.
Tuesday While Emily went to school, mom and Ashley went shopping at our new Wal-mart :). That afternoon the 3 girls went voting. Emily got tricked again this year and thought we were boating and was sorely disappointed. When I was there signing in, the lady stated my name. After I was signed in, Emily walked over and said, "My name is Emily, E-M-I-L-Y, I need to vote too." The ladies there loved her! Dad went to Provo to hang out with Spencer for a while and he voted later that night.
Wednesday we went to the library for story time and then off to the park with friends. Our weather is surprisingly warm here this time of year and we are loving it.
Thursday Emily went off to school and mom and Ashley cleaned all morning. YUCK. My mom trained me well on what it takes to clean a bathroom but that doesn't mean I like it. But 2 bathrooms are so clean today- yeah! Tonight Bryan and I went on a date- dinner to Indian food, dance show at UofU and our favorite smoothie (Keva Juice chocolate PB- yummy)!
Friday we'll have friends over in the morning to plan babysitting exchanges for the month.
Saturday Bryan will go mountain biking with his brother Spencer. And I will host a HOA meeting and try to get some other sucker to sign up for my position as treasurer.
In case you were wondering, that's what we are up too.

Arches National Park
Today we went to Arches National Park, next to Moab, Utah. We went on a mile hike, saw 4-5 arches and had a pretty good time. The arches are a little amazing and a little scary- like they are going to fall on you at anytime when you are standing underneath. We drove down to Moab on Friday and Bryan and uncle Bill went on a 12 mile bike ride on "slick rock trail." We stayed at a great cabin and had lots of fun on our mini vacation.
Happy Halloween!
Bryan's work had a Halloween party on the 30th with trick-or-treating too. My cousin Hannah came along and we all had a fun time. Bryan was a pirate, me the tooth fairy, Emily went as a butterfly princess (she loved her wings), Hannah was a poker girl and Ashley was a ladybug. We got lots of candy and got all warmed up for the real night.
