Thanksgiving Week 2009

We had a great time this last Thanksgiving and were very blessed to spend it with family that we hold dear to our hearts!! (mush, mush) Nanny Lyly flew in from Oregon and spent some well needed time with us. After riding on a plane, bus, train and automobile she made it to our house in time for dinner. Wednesday we went to the park then headed to Ogden to meet my family for our very first Olympic Curling championship! AJ put together this fun affair and rented the Ice Sheet and a couple instructors to teach us the art of Curling. We all had so much fun and after all the trash talk the true champions were crowned. Eric, Amber, Dale, and Elaine! However I think the real champions were the 2 babysitters that watched all 12 of the cousins in one house! (11 of them under the age of 6!) Bless there hearts! We can't wait for next year when we'll be sporting jerseys and head bands and have an official trophy to pass around.








The next day, Thanksgiving, we ate to our bellies content, enjoyed each others company and ended the night with games. Friday, in my opinion the best day off all, was filled with many activities. We met everyone at the Classic Fun Center for bouncing and climbing. Then had dinner at Panda Express, then hit up Toy's R Us for some Black Friday shopping, then headed to Temple Square to see the Lights. Temple Square was amazing, as usual. It's such a special place and it's hard to not feel the spirit of Christ and true meaning of Christmas there. The boys were wonderful! They never complained about the cold and loved the Horse Drawn Carriage ride about the Square. (I did too, I've always wanted to do that!)
Thanks Nanny LyLy for a fun filled week!

Happy Anniversary to Us!!

AJ and I celebrated our 8th Wedding Anniversary on Nov. 16th! It's been a wonderful, adventure filled 8 years and I can't wait to see what's in store for the future! We celebrated by going to the USU/Boise State Football game, had a sleep over at Sherwood Hills Resort and went shopping. Thank goodness for Grandma's and sleepovers!!

Why the random photo of a USU Yell leader?
I swear he was a Yell leader at Snow College 10 years ago!!!!
If he's not, it's bugging me where I know him from, maybe someone can help me out.
It's driving me crazy!
Update: It is him!! it's been confirmed. He was my roommates cheer partner 10 years ago at Snow College and he is still a Cheerleader!!!! I think that's a little weird.
