Happy Thanksgiving!!! We headed to Phoniex this year for Thanksgiving and had a great time! Wouldn't you know the first day we were there Ben was in the water! He loves to swim so much!
Preparing dinner! It was a team effort!

Maggie and I helping peel eggs, what a great little helper she was.

AhhhHaaa you've been caught! Don't you know you'll get worms!!! (Quoted from "The Christmas Story")

Sadly they spent way too much time in this position.

Let the feasting begin! What a great meal we had, thank you Rusty and Tracy.

Yep the weather was so great that we were able to eat outside!

A little after dinner relaxing.

What an awesome Thanksgiving we had! Family is what life is all about and we felt so blessed to be able to spend time with our family!

Abi and GGMA being smart and relaxing while Tracy, Viv and I went out and stood in the shopping lines ready for the deals that are to be found!! and they were found! We had a blast shopping and watching all the crazy people get what they wanted.

Aunt Tracy couldn't resist giving Maggie her present early.

Uncle Rusty and Kev took all the kids to a hockey game. Ben had the experience of his life! When the teams were warming up they took the kids to the glass to watch more closely. As they were watching one of the players came and threw a puck over for Ben to catch. Ben was beyond excited!

Pretty much an angel!

The kids loved the hockey game!

A little bonding going on over gold fish! Maggie thinks Nathan is pretty great, she calls him BoBo for some reason.

Taking a hike in the wonderful weather (of course the ladies were off finishing a little shopping!)



Wait up Grandpa!

Kisses for Uncle Rusty



Doing a little happy dance!

We want to thank everyone for such a GREAT Thanksgiving! We had an amazing time!

Woot! Woot! baby girl tried panties. Because I am a bit behind in this post I wish I could say that she is always wearing panties, but that is not the case. She knows how to go potty in the toilet and she even wakes up with a dry diaper, but she refuses to go potty. Oh well she is my 4th and I really am ok with waiting til she is ready!
Balloon Regatta 2011 For years we have been asking family to come and enjoy the amazing balloon regatta, and finally, finally they come and wouldn't you know the weather is bad. It was such a bummer but we were just thrilled to have family come to Page. We had fun visiting and eating good food.


Ahhh love birds you were caught!!

Even though there wasn't a balloon glow there were still some fun things set up and some good food and entertainment.

What fun it was to have everyone come!

Maggie thought that Uncle Luke was pretty all right! He would sit and read her little pink purse books over and over to her, she loved it. I don't know but maybe Luke needs a baby girl, I'm just saying!

We wore sweet baby girl out!

Thank Heavens Sunday was good weather and a few of the balloons went up. At least everyone was able to see some what of a show.

Thanks everyone for making the trip we had a great time! Hopefully next year will be better.

Happy Halloween!! This year we were ready to carve our pumpkins we realized that our two big ones had been stolen. What a sad moment that was, and especially because it was Sunday and we couldn't go and buy more. So we had to make due with our little one, we carved both sides. The kids were happy and that's all that matters.


Our SPOOOOKY crew!!!!

Kev and I even had fun dressing up this year, yep Kev is seriously a woopie cushion!!

Maggie went out for a bit, but had just as much fun handing out the candy.

The lout after ward (this is just Abi's, it gross!)

Flag Football Mac Loves football! I heard him telling Ben last night that more than anything he wanted to play in the NFL. I am glad that he loves it, but as his mom I hate that it is so ruff!! He had a great flag football season.
Ben was there every game cheering him on.

Mac and his buddy Landon were on the same team again.
