Thanksgiving 2008

We had a great Thanksgiving this year, we started out the holiday on Wednesday by going to the cabin in Island Parke, we had a blast playing games, eating, talking and just relaxing! We stayed there until Saturday and then went to my cousins wedding that night in Rigby, then it was on to Bountiful Utah to Jeff's Aunt and Uncle's missionary farewell that was on Sunday the kids kept asking where we were going next! They had fun swimming at the hotel and eating treats late at night! It was fun to see Jeff's cousins, there was 1 I have never met before, so needless to say we were busy but very glad we could spend time with both of our families! I am so thankful for all the blessings my family has been given! I am thankful for a wonderful husband and 3 super cute kids!!!!Getting ready for the big dinner

decorating the tree for the cabin!

Let me explain..... it is a tradition every year after Thanksgiving dinner all the girls go out and cut sown a Christmas tree for the cabin, I am the one in charge of the chainsaw scary I know!

This year we went out in search of the perfect tree and found lots of wolve tracks, I was scared to death I knew I had the saw but after cutting down the tree it was a good thing we did not see any big bad wolves because it took me a few pulls and the chain fell off!!!

Here are the girls my sister Trish and Cecey, my Mom, Maylee, my sis Brittney and me!

The Feast

Braden has been really excited about the feast they were going to have at school, they made these cute indian outfits, played games, made pizza, and other fun stuff! My friend helped at the party so I was able to get some pictures of the special feast!

Sweet Lil Gracie

My friend Mindy Vail, took these pictures of Gracie , I love them! She turned seven months on this day, she was lots of fun to watch. She loved the leaves as you can see she ate a few! I love the pictures of her on the little suitcase, this pink dress is oneI bought for Maylee, it is fun to see Gracie wear it to! Gracie is such a sweet baby, I am so lucky to have a calm, easy going little princess! Love you Gracie!

One Fine DAY

One Fine Day!!!!

That is exactly what today was one fine day, I did not leave my house one time all day, I know it seems funny but I have not done this since Gracie was born, I loved every second of it to. It is very rare to not have something to do for a whole day, okay I was suppost to take the youth to the temple and I really wanted to go be with my cute little miamaid class but I have left my little kids so much lately I could not ask anyone again to watch them and I think I might have like had a moment if I ran 1 more day, so with that I stayed home for 1 full day! If you have not tried it lately you should it's great!!! Trish and Jackson called around 3:30 and wanted to come see Gracie's new inchworming (her new crawl) so we were way excited for company, then the next thing I know Jeff walked in the door around 4:00, wow it is 1 fine day if he is home that early they have been working way late trying to get the ground work done! So we hung out with the Trish and Jackson it was so fun to just sit and talk we decided to have pizza delivered from the schoolhouse grill, thanks for coming over and hanging out with us!

Declo Football

I have not really been involved with very many spoting events at Declo, not that I don't have hornet pride I seem to have other stuff going on, I can watch any home football game from my front porch, or open the window and listen from the warm livingroom!!! I had to post these pictures that I took on Thursday afternoon, I heard alot of noise outside so I opened my front door to see a million people lining up the from my house to the country store everyone was screaming and cheering, hmm I though what is going on (I know I am out of the football loop) I knew they were going to state I did'nt know they were haveing a sending the team off party they let the Jr. high out, and even Braden got to line up and watch the team leave, it was so cool I grabbed my camera and snapped pictures and took video, I have to admit I got all teary eyed for some dang reason it was so cool to see the excitement everyone had, now we all now they lost by 1 point but after seeing these pictures and video and all the support and pride this team had there is no shame in loseing this game! Go Hornets!
