A Thanksgiving Slideshow....

We had a great time! It was so fun to host it at our new house and to have some family together! I am so excited to have many many more holidays at our house!

Fall Festivities

So here is the big long catch up! Feel free to just browse the pics its a LONG BEAST to read!!!October kicked off with the most important day of the year...

My 27th Bday! One year older and wiser too...Happy Birthday to.......ME
Am-DAWG and I went to St George for our last BIG yard saleing trip of the season and then went to RED ROBIN (sing the song with me) with Jenise!



Then Bj's fam came over for cake (root beer cake yummy yummy) and presents!And as you all know I get SO excited about presents! Here I am in a moment of bliss....
Later in October Amber Jenise and I went to Krumpets (a great decorating store) for a Witches night out costume contest! I made all the capes and we got all decked out hoping to win the 50 dollar gift certificate! I think we looked spectacularly spooky! Unfortunately out of the 3 Hocus Pocus sisters only Jenise own! But we are so proud of her for representing!
Mom and Abby came to visit for Jenises Bday and Halloween
We got J up on the saddle at Texas Road House for the Big 2-5!

Gramzie and J teasing Spenc at the restaurant and Spencer hating EVERY minute of it! :)

A rare picture of me and the hottie who calls me his wife! What.A.STUD!

We had or first snow at the end of October! And it was good thing because Spencer had been begging and praying for snow since August!They got all bundled up and just soaked it in!

Until... Coop got a little too much to soak in.... luckily Spencer was there to give a "feel better hug" so they could get back to enjoying the snow!


Halloween arrived along with lots of family to dress up with! Sommer and Chris came down from Rexburg. Chris was Max from "Where the wild things are" and Sommer joined the witch sisters! Mom and Abby came from Mexico and we all went trick or treating in St George!

The stars of the night we my 3 scary Halloween boys! Spencer was a Skeleton (made my MOI) Cooper was a bat and Grahamy was a black widow spider(made my me too!) Oh and we cant forget my knight in green armor.... BJ was Frankenstein!November kicked off with our last craft fair! We all drove up to Gunnison Utah, a small town where Allison grew up! IT WAS A BLAST! We all had a great time just us girls! To top off a great time we all made more then we ever had! SO YEA!!!!
We had a small booth so we had to crawl under the table to get in and out! It made for a lot of laughing!!!
We celebrated a big birthday in November, Kristys 50th! She didn't want a big to-do so we all surprised her and took her to her favorite place.... IN AND OUT!
And our most recent event was Thanksgiving! We had it early again this year but it was great! It was over and Mindy's house and she did a beautiful job of decorating!I was on the kids table decor! I made a place-mat to color and a cute crayon envelope and napkin ring! The kids had a great time coloring! I cant forget the SWEET turkey hats the boys made for the big day! They looked so FESTIVE, is that the word?There were lots and lots of people who joined us!
BJ, Cadie, Lance, Kristy, Brent, Bristie, Matt and MOI
Matts Brothers Girlfriend, Matts Brother, Matts Mom, Matts Dad, Aunt Liz and Uncle Jess! Whew I am so sorry I don't remember Matt's families names!!
We all brought different things for dinner, and Brock made a fried turkey!
It was a great holiday!
SO wow that was A LOT! I am committing that I am NOT going to fall THAT behind again! And I am going to get some pictures up of all the crafts I have been working on! It has been SO much fun to try and do a homemade Christmas! All the craft blogs have been so helpful! I am addicted to stalking them and finding all the GREAT EASY ideas!

Turkey and Stuffing and Pie.....

This weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving with BJ's family! It was such a fun day! BJ and the boys went and did some jeeping and four wheeling in the morning! While Kristie and I got things ready around the house! In the afternoon I went over to Mindy's and helped her set up her Christmas tree! Its kinda become a tradition for me to help her with her tree! She has a TON of things and so its kinda like setting up a show tree! Its SO SO fun! 

When dinner was ready we set out the special place mats that Spencer made and all the kids sat around the table patiently waiting! They were so excited to have a table all to themselves! Kristie and I had laid out a bunch of plastic under the kids table so we wouldn't have to worry about clean up! The kids thought it was really cool to have a new floor, just for THEM! 

Cooper, Ryker, Spencer, Kally, Brylee and Shay

We each brought different dishes so that dinner wasn't too much for anybody! It worked out so well! All the food was gut bustingly yummy! The boys loved the stuffing, turkey and jello! Cooper was obsessed with the green beans! He is kind of addicted to them:) 

All of BJ's brothers and sisters and their families were able to come! Including BJ's uncle Jess and Aunt Liz! There was a big turn out! 

Lance and Cadie, Liz and Mindy, Kristie and Brent, and Bristi and her boyfriend Matt!

Jess, Alex, Ammon, Brandon, Brent and BJ!

All the guys congregated down stairs to watch TV! Or maybe they just wanted to be able to eat as much as they could without being noticed :) 

I managed to get one picture of a few of us too!

All the cousins have so much fun together! Brylee is the oldest and she is 6 then the youngest (for another month anyway) is Cooper and and he is 20 months! Because they are all so close in age they have a lot of fun goofing off and chasing after one another! 

This picture is of all of them tickling each other while cuddling on Nana and Papas bed! (Their bed is one of the favorite hang outs at Nana and Papas!)

After everyone left we hung out for a little while longer and the kids started jumping around on the couches downstairs! The boys seem to be able to make anything into a Jungle Gym!
