Silly Photos

During the Thanksgiving holiday while Sam and Matt were here, they were trying to do some homework and Corban kept chatting with Aunt Sam. So, Aunt Sam put her homework aside and showed Corban all the silly things her computer could do. Corban thought this was really neat and could have spent hours playing but Uncle Matt made Aunt Sam finish her homework but not before she captured some silly photos!!

Thanks Sam for letting me borrow / steal these pictures from your blog. You are such a good Aunt and the boys really do love you!!

Who do these kids look like..........their Moms or Dads?

" Alien Corban". Corban said he looked like an Alien from the planet "Zorbador". By the way, Corban can tell you all about this planet........His planet!

~Thanksgiving 2009~

Our Thanksgiving started out late Wednesday night when Sam and I picked up Jonas and Matt from the airport at 11:30 p.m. It was so great to see my two boys coming down the escalator! I missed them both and was so happy to get hugs!! Airport greetings are the best!!! I was anxious to hear about their travel escapades and as usual Jonas never surprises me with the things he does or says. Matt began telling us how some girl sat by Jonas and he turned on the charm..........he fed her a line and she fell for it hook, line and sinker. He told her he was in film school and has done some independent films at Sundance, he drives a viper and had a lifted Dodge truck etc. etc. By the end of the flight they had exchanged phone numbers. She has already sent him a few texts and a picture of herself. Only Jonas!! We had such a nice Thanksgiving dinner and we are so blessed to have our family together! We do miss our Utah, Wyoming, Colorado families and our friends from all over and we are so greatful for each of you.

This year I made "Thankful Turkey's". I asked everyone in our family what they were thankful for and then I decorated cookies with what they said. It was so fun to hear what they were thankful for and some of their responses were quite funny. Everyone was thankful for family, friends, health, church and then the other responses were candy, hair straightners, Brewster the dog, Chan the cat, pictures, even education. The very best was Corban response his Ramma and Rampa!! It's so nice to be loved by our little guys!
Sam and Corban enjoy some appitizers before dinner. Us girls made "doubled eggs", veggies & dip, cheese tray, chips and salsa, beer bread, spinich dip............. It's a good thing we had snacks because the boys played in a turkey bowl before dinner and when they got home they were HUNGRY!!

Corban helping his Ramma make the cresent rolls. This has been our tradition since he could stand on a chair. It so much fun and Corban can roll a mean cresent!!

Corban rolls the dough by himself. He loves making "pizza"!

I love to set the table with my china, stemware and silverware. I really don't like washing them all by hand!!

Pictures before we eat...........just hurry and smile!

Corban and Jonas had to rest and watch cartoons after dinner. They were stuffed little turkeys!!

Jayce relaxes by doing some "honey do's"!

This Thanksgiving I have so much to be thankful for and I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family!! I love each one of them and I am so proud of all they do. I want this holiday to last longer but the boys and Sam need to get back to school, Bart and Garrett to work and Heather, Corban, Jayce and myself need to start our Christmas shopping!!!

New Moon

Heather, Sam, me and the little boys went to see the movie New Moon this afternoon!! First, we started out by having lunch at the Olive Garden (where else is there to eat if Heather is with you), then we went to the movies. Corban was so excited to see the movie because it had ware wolves in it and that's all he cared about. Well, he ended up falling asleep until just 3 minutes before the part with the wolves. He was sitting on my lap and when the wolves jump Corban jumped! It was kind of funny but then I thought I better cover his eyes so he doesn't get scared but he did not want to have them covered. He was glued to the screen the rest of the movie. There's a part in there where one of the vampires tells Bella to take his hand and Corban said out loud "don't hold his hand, don't do it!". It was funny!! I think he is hooked. Jayce slept all the way through it until about 3 minutes from the ending so we were able to watch the movie. It was sooooooo good, I can't wait until June 30th when the next one comes out. After the movie we went to the mall and did a little Christmas shopping. It was so fun to spend the afternoon with my two girls and my two little guys!!! I'm so LUCKY!!!!!
