Thanksgiving 2010

We had a nice Thanksgiving break this year! Unfortunately we didn't have Kaili and she is always missed, but Ty was able to talk to her on the phone so that was good. We had Thanksgiving with my family this year at my Mom and Dads, my Aunt Becky and cousins Tyler and Tierny were able to be there as well. Everything was so yummy! My mom made the Turkey, gravy, stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls and 2 of her famous chocolate pies! We also had all kind of sparkling cider, yum! Fernanda brought the mashed potatoes, they were so good! I made our traditional carrots and onions, Katie brought peas and made pumpkin sugar cookie bars, and Bethanie made yummy peach jello with homemade whipcream! I brought a pumpkin pie cheesecake, Fernanda made a lemon pie, and my Aunt Becky made a banana cream pie as well as a regular pumpkin. Everything was so delicious! Oh and lets not forget Johnny's deviled eggs! Love those!

After the meal, we all just relaxed and hung out for a bit and played some WII bowling, Karson loves this, even though he doesn't really play yet, he gets so excited pretending to play! Friday Ty and I slept in, and then got ready for the day, we went to Best Buy just looking around, we weren't really planning on buying anything, but we ended up buying a TV, Tyler is getting $$ for Christmas and was wanting to put it towards a nice TV. We ended up getting a KILLER deal, which gave us a free Blue Ray DVD player with our purchase. Ty HATES spending money...even if he is getting money to go towards it, so it was a big deal for him to buy this the same day we saw it...he is NOT an impulsive shopper...like...um...me! :) Then we were able to go see Tangled with my family which was So good! I will for sure be buying that when it comes out on DVD. Then Tys parents and sister came to our house to watch the Jazz beat the Lakers! YAY!

Isn't this little guy cute? Katie made them for everyone at Thanksgiving. Saturday was the BIG game....it was sad BYU lost, but at least it was only by 1 point, and they pretty much dominated the game the whole time. Saturday night we ran a bunch of errands, grabbed some Five Guys for dinner and then Ty helped his Dad fix his car later that night. Sunday we celebrated my little sisters 22nd birthday! It was a great weekend.

Cute Karson licking some whip cream off a beater! He and Kaili both LOVE whip cream!

Riverton City Santa Claus

Monday night Riverton City put on an event where you could see Santa, get hot chocolate and scones and the kids could do some crafts. Karson obviously was not interested in doing crafts, but I decorated his sugar cookie for him, and ate it of course! We waited in line to see Santa for abotu 15 minutes, so not too bad, and Karson was so cute when he sat on his lap, he told him he wanted a "choo choo" for Christmas. The Chick-Fi-La cow was there, and Karson loves that cow, so that was probably his favorite part of the whole thing. I thought the city did a great job, and it was fun to go.

Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

I remember loving the " feeling" of Thanksgiving. I was always excited to see my cousins, and then usually on Thanksgiving we would go see a movie. I remember seeing the "people" 101 Dalmations, the "people" Grinch, amongst others. I loved the day after Thanksgiving because my family would go to lunch and then go pick out a Christmas tree together. As we got older we joked because it wasn't really " us " picking it out, it was us going so my mom could pick it out....:) It was lots of fun.

Not really sure, I remember one time on my moms side we had shrimp cocktail, and my family sometimes does peach jello with real whip cream.

Not really, usually it's putting up the Christmas decorations, the day after Thanksgiving....and trying to see at least one movie...watching Christmas movies at home

I have never been a fan of Black Friday, because I hate waiting in lines, traffic and crowds of crazy women... he he...I am sure one day I will do the whole shopping thing that way, but really my Christmas shopping is almost done. I do want to have a BLACK FRIDAY shopping experience one day though.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Post this on YOUR blog and share your THANKSGIVING thoughts!

Cute Kiddos and Weekend....

The kids were so good this weekend. It was nice. Karson LOVES when he gets to see his sister. It about breaks everyones heart who sees him when Kaili has to go home. Last night at my parents Kaili had to leave and Karson started jumping up and down and saying " no, no, no" pointing at the door, wanting to leave, because Kaili was leaving. Ugh, just rip my heart out. He doesn't understand why she has to leave, so I can imagine how confusing that can be for him.

Kaili and Karson looking at scrapbooks while we put up our Christmas tree! YES! Our Christmas tree is up and so are the Christmas decorations. I am glad to have it done and out of the way so I don't have to worry about it.

Karson wanted Kaili to lay by him in his bed on Saturday night while he watched a movie! It was really sweet. He just likes her next to him. He fell asleep at 8:30 and don't you worry, I was in bed at 8:45....heaven...

Cutie pie in his snow clothes, he and Kaili were so excited to see all the snow Sunday morning, that I told them after church we could go out and "play" in it, I knew we wouldn't be out there too long, because once the wind started blowing it got COLD. But they had a BLAST while we were out there.

Cute Kaili, looking all grown up....and yes I need to get her some snow boots...Karson as well...

Karson kept telling me " ball" because he wanted me to make snowballs, I also made a mini snowman and Karson just enjoyed knocking him down.

I love this picture of Kaili, she looks so cute!

Cute Karson in his snow clothes!

I loved playing in the snow as a kid, so I wanted them to have fun! We don't have a sled, but I want to get one this year, I think Karson would love it.

The shot....

So this is the lovely needle that Tyler gets to give me a shot with once a week. He hates doing it, because it makes him nervous, but he does a good job! The main part that hurts is when the progesterone goes in my body, because it stings....the needle part isn't so bad! :)

Results are IN!!!!!!!!!

So the results are in....we are having another sweet baby boy! I feel so blessed to be able to be the mom of 3 boys, my angel Easton, my sweet Karson and now boy #3! I just know he and Karson will be best buddies and Karson will be a great big brother! I was so happy to hear that everything is developing nicely and the heart beat is strong! I am honestly just thrilled to have another boy! I can't wait to meet him!

How cute can this kid be????

So Sunday Karson wanted to pose for some pictures! He looked so handsome in his church clothes, I had to snap a few pictures! And he got quite a few compliments at church on Sunday, about what a ladies man he'll be... I have to agree, but at least for now the only lady he is interested in is me...I know that won't last forever...so I must soak it up while I can....

I mean Look at that face !:)

Showing me his tractor...

In the middle of saying cheese! :)

Cute Karson playing in moms car!
