Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year we traveled to Logan with my Mom and Dad. We had dinner at my brother's house. My sister and her family also just moved to Logan to open the "Green Gorilla" car wash. (It's awesome by the way, so if you are ever in Logan, stop by the Gorilla and get a wash! ) My Brother Bob, lives in Spokane and had Thanksgiving with his kids there, so they weren't with us and we Missed them! We had such a fabulous time. I am SO thankful that we have such a close family! Every last one of them is an outstanding person whom I love dearly! We did lots of fun things such as
1: Going to see New MOON 2. eating a lot 3. Making crafts 4. Shopping 5. eating lots 6. the guys went to a USU basketball game 7. we ate some more 8. I had several beverages that rhyme with "Quiet Lepsi" 9. the kids played board games, video games, (and mind games :/ ) 10. we went to Maddox in Brigham City 11. We had FUN!


Sandi is the official roll maker in our family. She makes a mean batch of rolls. I am not too shabby in this department either (I use her recipe), but lets keep this on the DL. (Down Low) for those who just don't get it :)

Ryann and Bailey had fun jumping and playing with Sheeba. This is the cutest nicest, mellowest dog ever! Yes you are, yes you are, who's a good girl?(insert puppy voice)!

Sandi and Hailee!

Hillary, ME, and my sista!

No-one likes a frowny face! We were trying to see who could make a perfect frown. I think Hailee won! (Please vote in the comment section)

This is a fun little play room in the space under the stairs. There are dolls, trains, and lots of fun for the kids!

My niece Hailee has Celiac disease. She cannot eat Gluten. These are the "gluten-free" rolls my sister made for her. ( I don't think she ate them.....)

I mean really, would you? After seeing all the gluten in THESE yummy rolls!

Don't mess with Martha!

Cheers!

Mark and sweet Lexi! She is the cutest baby ever!

Cooper playing Sorry!

We made Carmel apples...yummy!

....cooking the Carmel's

....decorating the apples!

Cooper didn't want Carmel...just an apple with a stick! Isn't it the cutest apple ever!

We drove to Brigham City to Maddox! It was delicious! We ate in the Buffalo room. Mark ate buffalo too!

Yummy, we all have full tummies! This was a great trip and made me very thankful for a loving, eternal family!!!!

Any Ideas????

OK, I need suggestions. I want to print my blog into a book. I know there are A LOT of companies out there that do this and it is overwhelming! I have done my blog this year with the idea that I wanted to print it. Kinda like a scrapbook of our year. I have a lot of pictures, so I was looking for a place that is cute, but also gives you lots of pages. If any of you crafty, blogging experts out there have any ideas for me, I would greatly appreciate it!!!!

Ryann's Baptism

I can't believe that my little Ryann is old enough to get baptized already! She is the sweetest, most precious little spirit. I am so thankful to be her mother, and am very proud of her for making this big decision in her life. She is such a wonderful and talented girl, and I can't wait to see all that she becomes in the future. I love you Ryann and am so excited for you on this big day!

This is a day that Ryann will never forget, not only because she is getting baptized but it is also HALLOWEEN!

All dressed and ready to go.

Dad and Ryann right before the program started.

Ryann was excited, because her Grandma Jody got to speak at her baptism. I asked Ryann what was her favorite part of the program, and she said it was her Grandma getting to talk!

Most of the gang after the baptism! Now off to celebrate and trick or treat!

My wonderfully talented friend Nikki took some pictures of Ryann and her cousin Lexy in their Baptism dresses. I posted a bunch of my favorites! I love these pictures and am so glad to have them to remember this special time in Ryann's life!!!
