Family Fun Thanksgiving

So Saturday Luke, Tiff, Kade and Kara came in and it was great to have them all here. Tuesdauy the rest of the family came and it was great to have everyone. Thanksgiving was wonderful as always. THe food was great and Tiff made amazing Pies! MMM! Somehow during the sitting down at the table and getting up from the table I must have ate to much because I pulled my growing muscle and have been gimpping around since. But I think its getting better.
Mom got the kids these turky hats. It was pretty cute.

The girls this year are old enough to start putting the olives on there fingers. Love it! Its so cute probably because I remember doing it as a kid.

All in all it feels like home Im very proud because I think I did a GREAT job on a small budget. A lot of Clerance stuff, Craigs list and ALL OPHS paint, not bad. And then of course alot of work. We also just bought a washer and Dryer and I am so happy to have laundry at the house 3 yrs of lugging it to my parents has done me in.

Well We Did IT

WE got a house! We closed Escrow on the 12th and we have been working on it ever since. (I know thats how it is when you own something) But anywho we painted the whole house (minus the office) because the people before had little taste. We also got rid of there not so cute tiles in the bathroom and with my Brother in laws help got the front bathroom were I want it. And our walk in closet. With everyones help the house is really starting to look great. Tomarrow we move in our stuff. Her are some pictures of the girls helping with Ryders Room before we started painting it.

out of town again

So we went up to Utah since KAra was turning 18 and Char flew up so we could celeabrate there b-days. Char turned 21. We went to this place called jump on it it a bunch of trampolines on the walls and floor and some bounce houses for kids. It was a blast. Sharlee took a long time to warm up to it since she woke up from her nap there. But after that it was great.


Then we had everyone over for dinner, gifts, and of course cake and ice cream.

The next day was Halloween We went to lunch a Tacanoos (yes we got there a lot) Then at night we took the girls trick or treating. They loved it They were so cute saying trick or treat, THank you, Happy Halloween! They got faster and faster between the houses.

Saturday we went on the Bridal Vail Falls Hike and this time the girls walked and they did pretty good. But we didnt really keep up with everyone. The colors were beautiful and I was happy I had left me camera in the car because I was able to get these pictures that I LOVE! Of the girls playing in the leafs.
