Thanksgiving We

We had a terrific Thanksgiving week. The kids had no school Wednesday-Friday so we had lot of time for fun! We played at the park, went swimming with cousins, and spent Thanksgiving day at G & G Wall's house.  It was a fantastic holiday because Katie, adam & Hugo were in town and we had SO much fun spending time with all of them. 

We got another new pet, it's a Lorakeet bird, name pending. The kids are all SO excited to get another pet and they were good at working tougher to earn all the money to pay for the bird. 

We love long Holiday weekends! 

Danny and taylor had a successful fishing day at Strawberry reservoir. They caught some big rainbow trout! They had a terrific day and tons of fun! 

Isaac had a fall off of the slide at school. He was pushed by a 5th grader and fell on his arm hard. He broke his wrist and will have a cast for 5 weeks. It was a sad day and he's a tough kid. 

Emily's hair is super curly underneath and it's getting even more curly! 

The new WINCO by us just opened, it's SO exciting! I really like shopping there for all our food, and think its' a great store. 

I taught a YW lesson on Gratitude on Sunday. It went well, it's such a wonderful time to think about our blessings etc.. 

Isaac got a blue cast on his arm. Only 4 weeks until he gets it off. 

Saturday we all went out and ran some errands and then went to lunch at Sage Restaurant. It was a fun lunch of delicious Japanese Ramen. It was tasty! Emily stole the last cream puff and popped it in to her mouth so quick! 

Lizzie and Brin with their ears etc.. 

These cute kids should start a band! They sound great!

Thanksgiving is this week and we can't wait! 

Halloween!We c

We had a fun Halloween! The kids had their parade at school and then I did Isaac's class party with games etc... The kids had a blast at school in their costumes with their friends. 

That evening we had our big neighborhood soup dinner before trick or treating. We eat soup and bread, visit with friends & neighbors and get ready to hit the streets for candy. 

The kids got lots of candy and had fun with their friends in the neighborhood. Taylor and a few friends went to an "Escape Room" to celebrate Halloween. It was a fun, exhausting, tiring day and I was so happy when it was all over! 

Other activités this week were:
Zoo field trip with Lizzie's class, lots of fun!
Isaac had his Tanner Dance performance at school, it's one of my favorite performances in the year.
Taylor headed off to the State Finals for Mountain biking in Cedar City with his team. 

Saturday night we made artichokes and tried them. Isaac and Lizzie thought they were delicious and fun to eat! 

A couple pics of taylor from Cedar City with his team. 

Sunday for FHE we made a "Gratitude Tree" full of all the many things we're blessed with. It's a great way to start the month of November, showing how much gratitude we had for our many blessings. 

We love the month of November.
