Happy Thanksgiving

This is us playing games. Fun times

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a great time with the Mills, Burgess, and Wiggington/Abliwi families. Everyone came to our house and brought different Thanksgiving items. We had so much yummy food and way yummy pies. We were able to send the kids downstairs to play while we adults stayed upstairs and played games. It was a lot of fun. That night the guys went to the storage unit and got the china hutch. Okay, we are officially out of the storage unit. Yippy!!!!

I have also made a fun Christmas craft that I want to share with all of you. I think it is super cute. Can't wait to put it out.

Everyone is doing well at our house. We will be coming to Utah on the night of the 6th. We have Kennen's parents Christmas party that night (we get to pick up our swing set). On the 7th is my family Christmas party in Spanish Fork (we get to pick up our 4 wheeler, hose reel, and flowers). We will be officially all moved up to Caspar at that point. We will be driving back on the 7th so lets all pray for good weather that weekend so we can make it both ways.

A week from He**

This past week was interesting I must say. Kennen was in Portland, so I should have assumed something would happen right? It always does when it is just me. Anyway, it all started off going as good as it could. I took Robbie to school on Tuesday and then Sid. That day while Sid was at school he got pushed into the brick wall. He had a gash above his left eye. The school had changed the bandage 4 times, I was a little worried about that. I am the most panicky mother when it comes to blood. I changed the bandage again and it continued bleeding. Here I am thinking I need to take him for a stitch. Thankfully, It clogged off with dry blood and I didn't try to remove the bandage again. Sid wasn't crying for me he wanted his Ashleigh. It was super cute so we had to call Ashleigh and then everything was much better. That night I took Robbie to scouts, and went to wal-mart and bought Wall E for the boys.

Wednesday, it started out to be a normal morning. But like I said Kennen is gone so nothing is normal. I take Robbie to school and then Sid. After school, I am driving back from Sids school to Robbies. We pull up in front of Robbies school, Sid takes off the seatbelt stands up and proceeds to "pee" in the middle of the van. He doesn't tell me has to go, he does say "mom, me am trying to get it in the garbage can" I thought I was going to come unglued. Thankfully, it was in the van and not the new car. That night he starts screaming about his ear hurting. I call up one of our friends the Marshalls and ask Keelie if Jordon is home. She says yes, so I take Sid over there to have Jordon look at Sids ear. He confirms my nightmare Sid has an ear infection (this means his tubes have fallen out). Jordon is here working at the hospital, he is becoming a doctor. Thank you for checking his ears.

Thursday we had play group which was fun we had a chip and salsa bar. Lots of yummy salsas. On Thursday I spent most of the day on the phone trying to find a doctor. Well, I have to take Sid into the insta care cause there are no doctors in Casper accepting new patients. By the time I dropped Sid off at school, I just broke down. I was back to normal by the time 3 came around when I had to go and pick them back up. I went to help Stacey and Jeannette clean and then we all came over to our house and cleaned. I loved doing the tag team cleaning thing. How fast things go when there are three of you working on the same goal.

By Friday, I was greatful for a loving husband who just got home and let me go have a girls night out with some of my friends. Thank you Jeannette and Stacey for inviting me to the movie and dinner. This week we are Thankful for the wonderful friends and family we have. For there support and love. We hope that you all have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving. We should have a fun time we are having Thanksgiving with 3 other families from our ward. We will take lots of pictures to show you all. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!

A great birthday week!!!

Happy Birthday to me. Look at how pretty these roses are that my sweet husband gave me for my birthday. Ashleigh sent this scentcy warmer and some scentcy's for my birthday. Isn't she amazing?

This is my sweet husband, isn't he cute. He is still loving his job which is great.

Sid, what a crack up. They think that we have had Christmas in November. We are finally getting boxes out of the storage. Yea!!! Sid is still doing good. He loves school and is excited to go everyday.

Robbie is such a good boy. He loves playing with hs video games and he lets Sid play with him as well which is so nice. He loves scouts and the friends he has made there. He spoke in primary yesterday and did well.

Kennen and I spoke in Sacrament meeting yesterday. I hope it went well, everyone said it was good. Thankfully it is over and hopefully we don't have to do it again for a long long time.

We would like to wish Michon a very happy birthday as well. We share a birthday and it is so much fun.

Thank you Jeannette and family for the dish towels to match my new kitchen you guys are great. We love you and are greatful that we have you as our friends. Thank you to those who called me it means a lot to me and my family.

Robbie's Fall Carnival

Our week? What did we do is the question. We had scouts which I was able to go and help with. I miss working with the scouts. We had a fun time at the Fall Carnival at Robbies school. They served dinner for a dollar a piece and then they had a carnival which consisted of carnival games which the boys were able to get little prizes. They had a cake walk which we were lucky enough to bring home a german chocolate cake and they also had the book fair going on. It was a lot of fun and it only cost me $5.00 for the whole evening. We brought home a cake worth more than that so I thought we did good.

We have been trying to get our stuff out of storage the past couple of days. I can say this we can see the back wall of the storage unit. I think we have 2 more trips and we will be done. Remember that one of those trips will be the china hutch, book shelf, doll hutch, ceder chest. So a lot of furniture. Yea, we will be all in our house.

They are going to start putting up our fence soon. That is way exciting for us.

We hope you had a good week and hope your week to come is amazing.

Sorry there are no pictures, forgot the camera.

Halloween/Mt.Rushmore 2008

Happy Halloween!!!!

We had a fabulous week. Halloween week was fun. It started off with learning to make homemade caramel and then dipping apples. It is one of my favorite treats caramel apples. YUMMY!!!

Sid had a Halloween party at school and was so excited to wear his costume. They took them to a care center that is right next door. They got candy and were all on cloud 9.

The boys and I cut pumpkins and attempted to make a Halloween ginger bread house. As you can see the word attempted was in that sentence. It didn't work out but the boys had fun with their frustration.

Robbie had a Halloween party at school on Friday, they got to take their costumes to school and put them on right before the party. He said it was fun. As I was picking him up, I could not believe what some of them were wearing it blew me away.

Halloween night Becca came to our house and then we went to the ward party. The boys got a pillow case of candy EACH. That means we have 2 pillow cases full of candy. It was a lot of fun, we ate chili, they had a carnival and then the kids got to go trick or treating. They even had a spook alley which Robbie thought was pretty cool.

Saturday was fun. When everyone woke up (after 9 for the boys and Bec) We hung out and then about 2pm decided to take a drive to South Dakota. We left Casper around 3 or a little after and arrived at Mount Rushmore about 645pm. That is with 2 coke and potty stops and then 1 extra potty stop. Mount Rushmore at night is beautiful. I hope Bec had a good time, even though we spent a lot of time in a car. We did not arrive back home until I don't remember it was way after midnight.

Thanks Becca for coming and sharing Halloween with us. We had a great time and hope you did as well. Come and visit us again.

It was a fun filled week for all. I hope you all had a great Halloween.
