Hanging with the Grandkids







We made homemade play dough and it was a blast. Some of our colors did not turn out the best. But who knew they would go gray??

Thanksgiving 2009


We went to my sisters in Meridian for Thanksgiving and it was so fun. It was great to let someone else cook. Especially since her turkey is so much better than mine. Wayno makes the best dips in the world and I have never ever eaten as much food as they served. It never stopped. Loved every minute of it. Family is great. From Zach guzzling the apple cider to Kamree stealing a few licks of whip cream, not to mention all the PEPSI I let the grandkids drink. YEAH!!! Teaching them all to be PEPSI drinkers and stay away from their moms nasty MT DEW. Phils family was there also. His girls are getting so grown up and fun to play with. I think we need to make this a tradition and head to Boise every year. Who puts KETCHUP on a moist (did I mention the most moist turkey ever) turkey? Only someone from the sticks. Mom slaved over the delicious rolls. And Rob made his weird stuffing that has apples and sausage but it is so good. Pretty much everyone cooked but me. Gotta Love That!!! I got a lot of good photos of the family. Should of got more of all the guys falling asleep on the couches. Loved watching my COWBOYS win. Also it was fun to watch the Boise State Game. Even I was cheering for them.













Mom and Dad

The couple that started it all. Gotta love these two.

Christmas Music

We just got done with our Sunday practice of our music Contada (?). It is so awesome to be apart of the singing. I am a horrible singer but Bonnie makes you feel so good and the spirit is so strong when we sing. The Stake youth choir is just amazing. We will be performing the first weekend in December and I can't wait to hear it in the final performance. I am nervous because I am scheduled to bear my testimony on the last Sunday practice and sometimes I am so emotional listening to the songs that I don't know how I will talk. This one song that says "I BELIEVE" just makes you all choked up and you can't sing. I just love the whole thing and I came home and ordered me a CD online so I can listen to the real music all season long.

Last Weekend Camping!!

We went camping this weekend with Pam & Terry & Doug & Kadee. We had so much fun. I took my camera but the batteries were dead. I was so bummed because the leaves were so pretty. Everything had such a pretty fall look. Amber and Kelly came up on Friday night and had dinner with us. Our traditional TIN FOIL DINNER. They were so good. I love them. Saturday was nice and not too cold. We sat around and played HAND & FOOT. It is such a great pasttime. Doug & Kadee have outside speakers so we listened to Conference. Kadee is so good she can name every speaker by just hearing their voice. Saturday night we cooked a great big dutchoven of TACO SOUP and it was so good. I was miserable for the whole night because I ate so much of it. It rained on us all day Today but we still stayed up camping until after 5. We had such a good time. I love camping and hangin with FAMILY and FRIENDS. Maybe just MAYBE we could squeeze in one more weekend of CAMPING. Probably not, oh well we ended with a good one.

Love to play and tease the other cousins. But seriously likes little kids.
Dillan looked so cute in his Christmas "Jammies". He loved to model for everyone.

Salsa and Watches


We had a girls night out. A bunch of us went down to Teddy's and learned how to make watch bands. We had so much fun. These are the watches that I made. I made two for myself and two for Annikan. The lady had so many BEADS. There was every color and every size. I have never seen so many to choose from. It almost made it hard to choose. I wanted to stay all night and make one of every color. Way too fun and I want to do it again. It was a nice break from my salsa and tomatoes that I have been doing. I have made four batches of salsa and four batches of bottled tomatoes. Friday I will do it all again. My house stinks so bad right now. Too many tomatoes. But I love them and I will be loving the salsa this next year.

GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!!

Finally after 7 hours of church meetings today I get to sit down and watch football with my Hubby. However I do not like watching FOOTBALL with Skyler. He talks way too much smack about my COWBOYS. Dont even get me started about the lousy Carolina Panthers he cares for. With Sky living here we might have some good fights on Sundays. Hooray for the FOOTBALL season. Maybe next week I wont have so many meetings.

Crew Demar Burns

Jeremy and Blair had their baby on 9-9-09. It will be an easy date to remember. His name is Crew and he weighed 6lbs and 10 oz. He is pretty cute and tiny. He has such petite features compared to Mckoy last year. This makes grandchild #5. We will have to start buying them t-shirts with their numbers on them. We now have 3 girls and 2 boys.

Family Photos

We took our family pictures on Rodeo weekend and Jenda got them to us this week. I absolutely love them. It has been three years since we had a family photos with everyone. I am so glad we took the time to do them. Jenda Golighty did them and she did a fantastic job. Just wish she could of made us a little thinner than we really are. Wouldnt that be nice.
