Thanksgiving

I was very excited for Thanksgiving this year.  Last year we had a lot of fun but we were out of town so we didn't have a good old fashioned home made turkey dinner, so I couldn't wait for this year.  Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays.  I love getting up super early and helping my mom in the kitchen for the ENTIRE day.  I love snacking all day long and visiting with family.  well this year my parents ditched out on us and went to Italy.  (I can't be too mad, I would bail too if I got to go to Italy)  I was pretty upset that my mom wasn't going to be here to make the best Thanksgiving dinner that she is known for.  Good thing my older sister Cindy volunteered to host!  she has had years of practice with my mom so she pretty much got it right :)  here's a few pictures of the crowd.

 Want some?

 Carson is such a stud :)

Carson Turns 2!

I can't believe Carson is two already!  I was watching him play with this truck he got for his birthday. It came with a drill and he can take the truck apart and put it back together by using the drill to take out the screws, well I couldn't believe how smart he is.  and he didn't look two!  he looked so old as he concentrated on what to do I was amazed.  We are very excited to see what the years bring but my goodness it is already going by way to fast!

These are just a few of our favorites :)  we can't post them all!

Halloween

 This year we did a ton for Halloween.  we started out on Wednesday going to the U of U's Halloween party.  they had Trick or treating, pumpkin bowling, fishing for candy and lots of other games.  here is Carson as a cowboy waiting for trick or treating

 we made sure to carve our pumpkins!  Carson painted his with finger paint and helped daddy pull all the gunk out of his pumpkin

 our little western family

 Jake borrowed some skinny jeans from my nephew.  they were TIGHT!

 Dallas had 2 costumes. the cow was more of a coat so we put it on him while outside trick or treating

 then he had his cowboy costume underneath.  we had so much fun this year! Halloween is my favorite holiday so I am already planning for next year!
