Thanksgiving #2

This year for Thanksgiving we had dinner at my Moms house. It was amazing as always. I could never imagine Thanksgiving any other way. It was a little different this year though. My little family was the only local people at dinner. My sister Kathy went to New Mexico & my brother Jason was at his I in-laws for dinner. But my brother Mark and his family came down from Montana. Then my SIL Delora and her 3 youngest came down from Idaho. So it was a lot of fun. Lots of crazy little kids running around causing lots of trouble. My boys love hanging out with there cousins. They all get along so well and always have so much fun together. I must have been to busy eating because I only got 2 pictures.


So after lots of food & a little sleep it was time to shop! I go every year on "Black Friday" with my In-Laws and this year was no exception. We got some killer deals and had a lot of fun! We even braved Wal-Mart along with a lot of other stores.
Then Saturday we took the kids swimming. They all had fun except for Parker who did a lot of crying. I of course forgot my camera. But maybe next time. It was great to have Korey have no work for so many days and to spend so much time with family. I am so thankful for all of my family! I would not trade them for anything.

Thanksgiving #1

Last Sunday we had "Thanksgiving" dinner with Korey's family. My SIL Melissa made a great turkey dinner with all the fixings. It is always fun to get together with family. We even got a chance to play a few games. It seems to be so hard to play games when all the kids are running around like wild indians. But they are finnally getting old enough that we can start playing games again. Then we ended the night with some yummy pie. I love any excuse to eat a lot of food!

Meet Shelly

So once again we have added yet another pet to our sweet little family. This is Shelly the Turtle. She once belonged to my nephew Kyle. I got her for him about 10 years ago. When I was in Idaho. But He has now decided he does not have time to take care of her because of his busy teenage social life. So my sweet husband decided she would be a great addition to our family. I guess every time Korey takes Parker to the pet store he loves to sit and watch the turtles. Which is why we needed one. To bad he is to little to take care of his pet. So I guess we have now got something to pass on to our grandchildren someday!

McKay's Dino

So Last week at school McKay's class did some really neat dinosaurs. They have been learning about dinosaurs all month and to end the lesson Mrs.Louder had the kids make there own. It was a huge project for the kids and so much fun. I was lucky enough to be able to go in to his class and help with the process. It took 4 days of school. Then when they were all done they had a museum in there class. The different classes in the school where able to come and walk through the "museum" and parents were welcome too. His teacher is so neat. McKay is learning so much and having so much fun. Your dinosaur looks great McKay good job son!!!

Free Book!

So today on Oprah she had a great giveaway for anyone who was watching her show. So I thought I would pass on the great gift. It is only good for 48 hours so I guess as of Friday at 4pm this will no longer be good. But if you go here then there is information on how to get a free book from snapfish. You download the pictures and you put together a story or whatever text you want. Then they put it together into a hard back book.Then ship it out to you. They are usually around $40. It would make a great gift for grandparents or for yourself. So I guess you cannot beat free. Have fun with it!

VoTe!

Halloween

The day started out a little rough Parker was not feeling well so we took him to the Dr. first thing. Of course nothing, just a fever of 103 on Motrin. Then My "SIL" Molly and I took the kids down to my Dads for a quick visit. After we got home we had a fast lunch and we were off to McKay's school for there annual Halloween parade. Then my sweet Mother took the 3 little boys home for naps while I stayed and helped with McKay's class party. Right after school Angie came over, and Korey came home and we all went down to visit Aunt Nedra. Which is always yummy and fun! We came home just in time to meet my sisters family at our house for a warm bowl of stew. Then it was off for the night. The boys had fun costumes this year. They were really into the whole Halloween spirit.






The boys with Aunt Angie. Except Parker he was not a fan of th costume thing.



We had a good group this year and it was so fun to watch them have so much fun. It is always better to have a group to hang out with. McKay got Evan to come with us. We even got Aunt Angie to come, and the boys cousin Cameron. They are always so good to help us out.



Parker caught on really fast about what all the kids where getting when they were going up to the houses and he did not want to get left out of any kind of candy. He was so funny. He would only pick out suckers, and then he would start to eat it. Then when we got to the next house he would try to trade the people his sucked on sucker for new ones. He is not dumb that is for sure.



We ended our night at Grandma Kathy's to hang out with some more cousins for a awhile! They look so cute all together.



Here the boys are with there "LOAD" if anyone wants any candy I think we have enough to share!



Hope you all had a great Halloween!!!
