Thanksgiving 2010!

For Thanksgiving this year we went to St.George to see my family. They boys didn't like the drive but had so much fun when we got there. The became best friends with their cousins, especially Brent - my uncle Karl's youngest. We stayed Wednesday night to Thursday but came home that night. We always do our family reunions/holidays now because our family is so big we can't fit in my Grandma's house anymore!

I always love when I get to see my family. Since I grew up down there I love going back. I love being able to visit my Grandma, aunts, uncles and cousins. I miss everyone so much in between visits.

Some of our fun:

Happy Birthday Jaydyn!!

My baby turned 8 on November 11th! I can't believe he's 8 already. Time has flown by. He is such a loving fun child. He always makes me laugh and is coming up with jokes or stories to tell.

For his birthday we did dinner with just our family. He got to choose and it was McDonald's. We stayed for ages so the boys could play and then came home and he opened only a couple presents from us then. That Saturday he invited over 10 friends including his cousins. They played laser tag, watched a movie, played with all the toys, decorated cupcakes and had a blast.

Jaydyn had a great birthday. We love him so much and are so glad he is part of our family!!

Some of the fun:

Happy Halloween!!

This year Adam and I went out for Halloween. We went to Harry O's in Park City with our friends Ian and Emily - it was a lot of fun! We had a blast dressing up.

It's kinda dark, the flash got messed up.


Ian and Emily:


The next day we took the kids trick or treating. Since we live in Utah we celebrate holidays on Saturday if they fall on a Sunday. On Friday my mom watched the kids and they went trick or treating around her neighborhood and Saturday afternoon we went around Provo City to the little thing the city puts on. Trick or treating has definitely changed from when I used to go! Now it's all about making it safe and easy for the kids. I remember going out with my friends as soon as school was out and going door to door for hours but not anymore. I kinda miss it being like that!

Nik hated the mask because of his glasses so he wore it like this - he's a goof!






We went with my mom, my sister and my nieces.






Kira and Jaycee didn't want their pictures taken but you can see them, kinda, in some of the other pictures.

I also have to post this. A friend of mine sent me this in a text - took him 3 1/2 hours!! We are all huge LOTR fans and play online together - his pumpkin even has the sindarin lettering on the crown.
