Thanksgiving 2010


This year for Thanksgiving we were blessed to spend it with my family in Phoenix. We headed down early to avoid the snow storms, and we arrived Sunday at about 2:00am. I was so excited to spend a couple more days with my parents, sisters, and grandparents.


There were 22 people this year for Thanksgiving dinner and more than enough food for everyone. Ethan had a great time eating by his Daddy, and his Uncle Abu. I am not really sure if he even ate any food, but I know he had a wonderful time.




Ethan loved the pumpkin cheese cake and Josie won the award for most pieces of pie eaten. Can you believe such a little girl ate 5 pieces:)












Ethan was so exhausted by the end of the day that he zonked out on the couch. He was such a good boy all day long and did great even without a nap.


Landon loved eating pie with his Daddy.

This Thanksgiving was so much fun. We have so much to be thankful for, but most of all I am thankful for my eternal family which I love dearly.

Family Home Evening

We have been trying to have Family Home Evening this month. We invited the Snow's to come and play with us, enjoy a good meal, have a lesson, and then a wonderful dessert.

Corene is a wonderful cook and I was trying to make banana cream pie for the first time so I called her up and asked if she, and her family, would come over and help me.
We had a great meal of Lasagna, green beans, and salad. I gave a lesson about sharing and the kids had a really good time. Then we partook of the banana cream pie, and I would have to say that it was delicious.


Ryder kept having to move around the table so Landon wouldn't get his pie.


It was such a fun night, and I hope to do it again soon.
Corene thanks so much for helping me with the pie it was so good.

Happy Halloween


We had a great Halloween this year. We invited some of Aaron's family to come up to eat and go Trick-o-Treating with us. Ethan was so excited to see his cousins that he only ate one bite of his pizza, and just laughed at his cousins until it was time to leave.











It was a rainy night, but that didn't stop us. We went through the neighborhood with the Stouts, Reads, and Dawsons. It was fun to see all the kids together and they all looked so cute.

Landon loves to be outside and even though it was raining on us he had a great time. We bundled him up, with warm clothes and hat, so he was not able to be a cowboy, but I know next year he will be keeping up with his brother.

It was a great night and my Buzz lightyear had a really fun time. He is still wearing the wings of his costume, so cute.
We hope you all had a great Halloween night too.
