Novem-brrrr! It was a soggy month!


While I exist without them, I am better because of them.
It’s obvious to me that the times I’m with these people are my best moments. It’s hard to sometimes see that the lists can wait, the anxiety of what’s next will pass and truly being present is ALL that matters.
Be happy in the moment....because at the end of the day, it’s just a bunch of moments.
 

A purple umbrella makes EVERYTHING better.

2021 HCA School Pictures!



Looking sharp Mr. Meyer.

This is the project that NEVER ends...some day we will have this glorious outdoor living space, but for now it's muddy puddles and dreams of soaking in the hot tub.


A quite road trip and of course we had a few sleepers...

When your church rents out Elevated Sportz....fun times happen!



A sweet book from Leighton's principal, Millie's classmate's mom and our friend.

And just like that the Bothell Cougars were in the championship game and it was our last game of the season.

We didn't come home with the trophy, but we sure had a fun season!


Early Monday morning cuddles when dad left with the chickens to work at the lake for the day!

Now you see an apple tree...now you don't!


The site prep work has begun...so fun to imagine what this will look like next year at this time.

While the boys are away, the girls will dine out in Snohomish County!!!

Tuesday mornings at Chapel are one of my favorite ways to kick off the week!  So fun to see the kids worship with friends and how amazing our little school on the hill is.


Mom takes Chukar to the vet day!!! He's a lap dog, you know.

Baby Fifi comes to hang...LJ just loves her.


HCA Fall Festival...all the fun and the weather actually held out for a fun and dry time.


I mean, we are LIONS...can't you tell.


Millie and I got to get all dressed up to celebrate the end of year Cheer banquet.  What a special night and amazing year.  She grew so much during this season!

Bothell Junior Cubs 2021


And then it was Thanksgiving break...filled with slumber parties and lazy days.  Just what the Meyer family needed!

A Tuesday trip tot the dentist...all kids were cavity free.

Pre-Thanksgiving party and the Donald stopped by!

When we have a few days to slow down...we create more project.  :) Estimated date of completion 2022.

A pop in Thanksgiving hello!  This year we did a quiet night at home.  So much to be thankful for and so many people we are thankful for.  This cup is overflowing!


And then it was the Apple Cup for this house divided...I mean, you can't win them all.  Cougars took the cup this year, but we will be back!  Go Dawgs!

A little mom and Meme pedi before the big game!

And then it was time for the 2021 Meyer Christmas Tree Ba-venture!!!

A little snow...a lot of ran...and zero snacks!!!



We searched high and low...and then the rain hit and we searched from the car!

We found a great tree and Rich & Griffin scaled the hillside to retrieve it.

Celebrating a fun day with dinner out and ice cream!!!



A very special Chapel Tuesday where Griffin led the Pledge of Allegiance and....

Millie received the Phillipians Award for displaying GENEROSITY!  She is truly the most giving soul and we are so proud of her!


It's beginning to look a little bit like Christmas...and we are in FULL Christmas spirit here!  Bring on Christmas break, celebrating the birth of Jesus, all the family time and a trip to the lake to bring on 2022!
