Horseradish!

Katie shared her horseradish with all of us. Yummy, it is so good!

Happy Thanksgiving

What a great Thanksgiving holiday we had. It was so fun to see and be with all of my family! I love them all very much. We don't all get together a lot so it is fun to have everyone. We left on Wed. morning and made good time. We met Katie and Wes and Stockton in Twin at noon and had lunch at Cafe Rio. It was very good. We then went on to the ranch and said hi to Mom and Dad and then we got busy making pies and getting ready for Thursday. We ate at Katie's house and had lots of yummy food that everyone brought. We played some games and just had a great time. We also celebrate Christmas while we had everyone there. Us kids did a Family Home Evening theme gift exchange this year. It was awesome. Everyone had great ideas and it was really neat. Brett and Misty had us this year and did a missionary theme. I loved the Book of Mormons that they gave to us with their testimony in it! It was awesome on Monday when we had FHE. Thanks guys. Dad and Mom spoiled all of us as usual. They way out did themselves. They gave us girls all a new kitchen tool and gave all the grandkids some money and perfume and Cologne. They gave the men a new 22 that Brett engraved on. Wow. Brett is so talented. He is totally amazing and I am proud of him and all his accomplishments. It was just so much fun being with everyone. Katie and Wes were great to let us use their big house and we loved having Kieran with us! He is growing up so tall. What a great kid. We have a great family. Thanks to EVERYONE for making it a great time! Love you all!

This is what bored kids do in the country on Saturday. How great is that!!!

We had such a great time coming up with this turkey for Thanksgiving. Bailey did not have school on Friday so we planned to do this this week-end. We ended up working on it most of Saturday afternoon. We had fun and it turned out so cute. We are going to send Thanksgiving cards out this year instead of Christmas cards so I will pick those up today and get mailed out. Dalan came home just on Sunday and hung around til evening so we were able to get pictures and yes he got his laundry done again. ha ha. Really I love helping with his laundry because that means he is here.

Halloween Panter Week-End

Over the Halloween week-end the Panter came and stayed with us. We had a great time, it was a lot of fun. We relaxed, ate yummy food, watch a movie, Katie and I did some shopping, Wes and Stacy moved grain, Bailey recovered from as cold, and Dalan came home and relaxed and got his laundry done by his personal maid:). We were going to get the kids in their costumes but we didn't get it done. I will have to steal one of Katie's cute pictures of them. We made spudnuts and they were soooo good. Macie was great help!

Family Traditions

This is a picture I took the other day, the rainbow was so beautiful and full!

Family tradition #1 Halloween Jack O Lanterns! Bailey has always loved to carve pumpkins. I am so glad she doesn't think she is too big to do it anymore. We really missed Dalan doing it with us this year. His pumpkin turned to mush and was oozing (nasty), the pigs really liked it.

Family Tradition #2 Fishing in the creek after the water falls. The kids always have a blast doing this and it was the same this summer!

Just a Mess!

This is one of my favorite pictures of my Grandpa Curtis. He loved to go fishing and always caught a mess of fish. I wanted this in my book when I get my blog printed for our family scrapbook. Grandpa would have been 107 on September 24.
