Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful, family filled, Thanksgiving. We had Charlie, Mandi, and their family, Dustin, Tiff, and Sasha, Dallas, Dez, and Dalton, all of us, and, of course, Deb.

After dinner, we burned off the dinner by jumping some rope.






It was a good time.

Make-up

With all of our girls, they have all had their turn getting in the mascara and applying it.



I should have known Guy wouldn't be any different.



At least he is cute :)

A Merry "Hoo" Christmas

I know that I have a bunch more December posts that should come before this one, but I had to share this . The girls were having a sing-a-long in school today. The 6th grade, and Bailee sang "Santa's Got A Hot Rod" I have never heard this song, but it was cute.

And the 4th grade and Preslee sang "Where Are You Christmas" from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
The night before, Preslee said she wanted "Woo hair", so in the morning I had the stuff out and she was chickening out. She didn't want to be the only one with the woo hair. So we round up the 4th grade girls that walk to school with our girls, and I did a lot of fast woo hair. It turned out WAY cute and I went to the sing-a-long and they all looked the best :)



And the back.

First of many

Sailor "lost" her first tooth on Saturday. I say lost loosely because I am not sure it was ready, but it was flipped out by Grandpa Davis. She was ecstatic! It changes her smile dramatically.



Checking it out.


He has pulled out a lot of teeth in his old age :)


So Cute!

Halloween night 09'

We went to Josh's dads' for trick-or-treating this year. It was wonderful weather and a full moon, what more could we have asked for?! Bailee brought her friend Sam with us. It was fun for her to be there. Guy loved saying trick-or-treat and getting candy, but the walking door to door wasn't his thing. We all took turns lugging him around.


The whole gang. Bailee, Preslee, Parker (Josh's brother), Sam, Sailor, and Guy.


Too funny! Preslee and Parker.

Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween Morning

Halloween marks a year for our family since our Temple Sealing. We decided to take the kids to the temple grounds and also to the church history museum. We had a lot of fun. It was a good reminder to all of us. The girls decided to make it into a photo shoot, so here are some of the photos.

Mitchell clowning around

My 7 yr. old niece, Brynnlie, had a carnival for her birthday party this year and Mitch agreed to donning a clown costume and making balloon animals. He was good at it and also a really good sport.

It is almost as impossible to get a 14 yr. old in a clown costume to hold still for a photo as it is to get a 2 yr. old to hold still for a photo :)











Finally one that isn't blurred.

Thanks MItch!!
