These are a Few of my Favorite Things

Dallin turned 8! Yea!
Here he is opening his "Cub Scout" shirt!







Here Dallin is giving his Dad a great big hug because he got $100. We decided to give him some money this year so he can choose what he wants to buy. Things are so expensive and kids don't realize that. When kids only get two things for their birthday they can't understand why they didn't get more. So we thought if we helped him decided what to spend his money on it would teach him that things cost a lot of money and you have to be wise how you spend it!

Here Dallin is blowing out his candles!








THANKSGIVING with the Family. My Dad, twin sister and her husband came to visit us for Thanksgiving this year. We had tons of fun. I LOVE being around my family, they are so important to me.

This is my twin sister Corene. She kept busy by making some aprons for three of her "Young Women" for Christmas. She has these three sisters come over every week to her house and teaches them how to cook. So she thought she would make them aprons for Christmas. One of them wanted to learn how to make grilled cheese because she had a problem everytime she went to make it it would make a mess in the "Toaster"!


After a huge all homemade Thanksgiving dinner the boys went outside and played football with Dallin's new birthday football. Isn't that what guys do on Thanksgiving anyway!






Little Georgia wanted to be outside with the guys so bad but she wasn't feeling well so she watched from the window.







My sweet Dad kept my kitchen clean the whole week. What Dad does that! I love him so much, he is the best Dad ever.







James and Rick (Corene's husband) ran a 5k at Thanksgiving Point on Thanksgiving morning. Rick came in 9th and James came in 13th. Great job guys! I don't remember their exact times but I know they were under 30 minutes.






So every year at Thanksgiving we all get a pair of jammies so we can wear them throughout the winter. This is a picture of us last year with our jammies!






This is a picture of us this year with our jammies. We are so glad James was with us and in this picture.







Since we had extra family this year we all got a new pair of pajamas, and here we are!
