Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving was full of great food, friends and family.  Before Thanksgiving, the boys and I made a quick trip to Idaho to visit my two best college buddies, Dawn and Courtney.  We ate treats, stayed up too late, visited our old stomping grounds in the Clark Building, and were basically lazy all weekend long.  Apparently, we had way too much fun because I only took one picture the whole time.These kids had so much fun together.

Thank you girls for a great weekend!  Thanks Courtney for letting us stay at your house.  And thanks to Courtney’s hubby, Aaron for being the babysitter of my crazy boys every night!

Time for Thanksgiving!  First round, we were off to the Casper’s.  Food was delicious.   Raylene had some pre-Christmas gifts for everyone…the boys got flashlights to look for the Elf on the Shelf.  Best gift ever.

And then, Raylene gave the couples a gift.  We all got a box of Christmas letters that are supposed to look something like this…Real Cute.
But when I opened my box of letters, I had to wonder if Raylene was trying to tell me something…We were all laughing, and when I snapped this picture.  Raylene said, “Oh No! You are going to blog about this, just like the Luggable Loo!”

Then it was time for round two with my family.  We went up to the Midway House with all the family.  My uncle Curtis made a deliciously moist fried turkey without burning the house down, which is a bonus.  Then just played games and chilled. 

And last, but definitely not least, round three was Saturday with my dad and family at Macaroni Grill…

I love Easton’s face in this one. 

We wandered around the Riverwoods for a bit.

A great family Thanksgiving weekend.  So much fun.

In the Mountains of Idaho

A few weekends ago, we headed up to Mandy and James cabin in Idaho for some quality family time.

It was beautiful, and there was snow.

Lots. Of. Snow.

(that's the roof of the cabin they are climbing up)

There was a separate part of the cabin that we weren't using, so the kids used it as their secret play space whenever they weren't in the snow.

 

It was a great, relaxing getaway. 

Thanks Mandy and James for the invite.

Idaho Trip!

We got to go up to Idaho this past week! We were supposed to be up there for the dedication of the Rexburg Temple but it got rescheduled for the 10th for Pres. Hinckley's funeral... It was a ton of fun though we stayed with my friend Courtney (from preschool) she was a great host and we had a blast! I got to see a bunch of my preschool buddies and we saw Brad, Ryan and Rebecca! We had so much fun and it was a very relaxing week! Thanks Courtney for letting us bombard your cute new home!! I have videos that I will post later!

Ryan & Rebecca's Wedding!

We had a lot of fun on our trip to Utah and Idaho for the Wedding...and the best part Easton didn't puke! There was a lot of driving, but we got to see a ton of our friends from college! It snowed the day of the wedding and I think my body went into shock coming from 90 degree weather! Other than that we had a blast! Congratulations you two!!
