Thanksgiving

Yeah, I am no longer a holiday hostess greenhorn. Thanksgiving went GREAT!! I made some of the food Wednesday night, Ina and Chad helped and we didn't eat til 3:00, so there was no stress or rushing- it went really smooth....We had so much food leftover- but that's what's good about T-Day.

We had a super time with Ina and Steve- Keston especially. He really loved going on adventure walks in the rain with Mimi and Papa and teaching them the ways of the Wii....

On Friday we decorated for "the best Christmas ever" in the words of Kes. It is so fun to prepare Christmas when the kids start knowing what it is- it is seriously magical.

Picture Links and slideshow

I'm still figuring out how to get slideshows and links perfected and figuring out what photo site is the best to do that from- so here are my first attempts:


Here is the slideshow of our veggie harvesting:


















Here is a link to more of our pictures from Arizona in Oct:

HI there!

Ok I think I am actually going to send this blog out this time..... Halloween went great- Keston loved trick or treating and Cal chilled except for when he saw Dad in his mask- then he freaked out. Chad had fun scaring all the "customers".

We are now getting ready for T-Day, Ina and Steve aka Mimi and Papa are coming, Keston is so excited to see tham and I am excited about hosting my first Thanksgiving- I'm a big girl!

Calon is in full speed crawl mode- he can get anywhere he wants really fast and is loving it! He has 4 teeth with one on the way but at least the grouchy weeks are over!

Keston has mastered the art of playing Mario Cart Wii, with the steering wheel and all I hear all day is "is it time to play Wii?" he's funny.

And Tankie just had her 5th B-day on Monday.

Well that's it for now...LOVE!!!

Family Photos

A while ago I won a free photo session from a raffle. We finally had the opportunity to take advantage of it and got some pretty neat shots....
