~TURKEY DAY~

thanksgiving dinner was held at our homestead this year!! Rah and Stephen unexpectedly showed up at the door one night!! i didn't really think it was real BUT it was!! i am soooo glad they came home we had some fun times together!! and yes, Rah is a nice person! the young adult table.....well, nolan and kaylene are young on the inside! :)
the "adult" table

assembly line....definitely a good idea!

ok i don't know why but i swear whenever a picture is taken my mouth is full!! could we not wait for like 2 more seconds!!! let the girl chew :)

this is so cute! they sat on their own mini table!! precious!

Sadie Hawkins

so, last minute, i decided to ask someone to the girls choice dance! i was still a little under the weather and i kinda asked a weird guy but it was still fun!

super weekend with anna, david, and jamie

so we started the weekend off at the thermopolis hot springs! we were the only people there until the very end :) it was cold outside but the water felt good although it definitely REAKED!!

here's us in the pool!

hahahaha this sign makes me giggle every time i see it!! this was the sign you saw as you walked from the dressing room into the pool area!

shootin some hoops!

this is moms "power march" she made everyone participate! it was HILARIOUS!
AWE....cute!

the boys and i also attended a hockey game. there were some pretty sweet fights and david caught a puck that came flying over the wall thing!!

!!~AwEsOmE pArK~!!

so basically in their backyard they have like THE COOLEST park ever!! we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves playing there even though it was a little cold outside!this dinasour made me so happy cuz it was actually big enough for me!!

CUTEST PICTURE EVER! if jamie were a boy i'm sure she'd be a football STAR!! :)

FLUSH THE TOILET GONE BAD!! yes jacob is on my head! we all got a little beat up going down this rockin slide!!

TIPSY!!

so we got into this position and then we were stuck there for like 3 minutes and i couldn't get out of the swing! i was stuck and we couldn't stop laughing and no one would help me! :)

yea for family photos!! thanks for the great weekend, can't wait to see you guys again!!!

Family!

Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome weekend even if Jake did get all of Lovell and Cowley sick! :) We had a blast! I am waiting for some pics from your end!

Cousins!

So Jess came to Shell a few weeks ago and Jamie and I went to visit them. Jamie and Ethan had fun playing together! Jess and I had a good time catching up and talking mommy talk. :)

Well she isn't smiling but at least she is not screaming as she was in the pictures taken last year. :)

Sharing crazins and grahm crackers!

Dear Small Monkey-

Never Fear-
Your future pharmacist is here!
Having no exams for the first week this year
She just might call you

Although she is hosting a cook-off of chili
Which makes her head go willy-nilly
Still it is probably quite silly
To not take the time to call you

I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving
During which in Utah will I be living
Not in jail where I would learn shiv-ing
Maybe I will then call you

Man I'm good at poems :)
