Being Creative

"Look at the cute little snow owls we made!"

Trying to get a good picture... Me -"Hey Uriah, what's that face supposed to mean?! Remember, I asked you to smile for a picture not tell stories...!

"Ok, this is getting a little out of hand!"  Micah looks guilty and don't ask me what Jubilee is up too!! Jubilee -"TaDa!!! Look at what I made..."  Me - Lovely face expression!!

Me - Ok, I give up! I think the harder I try the worse it gets. We'll just have to be satisficed with number 1.
You have to love these guys!! :)

"Back to working on another project? What are you making this time?

Oh, look what's hanging in the window!

Great job, Jubilee!!

Let's do some school!! 

School has become Jubilees favorite thing to do.

I don't think I was ever this smart when I was this little, but then who remembers?! :) lol

Hope Everyone is having an awesome day!

Be Thankful!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We all have SO much to be thankful for!

I had fun taking this picture and then Joylin showed me how to edit. lol

Thanksgiving morning found Mom busy cutting up the turkey. 

It was cold, windy and rainy outside.. the perfect weather for sweaters and coffee!! 

"Give thanks unto the Lord for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever!" Psalms 136:1
Jared made this little card. :)

It was so wonderful having all the family around us for the day. Our Canada family was missing, but we are thankful that they are planning a trip in January.

Sending hugs and kisses from Az to two adorable little munchkins!!! :) Love and miss you all!! 

Little Judah, and I. He is growing up so fast! 

Taking turns holding this adorable little boy! He melts everyone's hearts.

Proud Grandpa!

The turkey is ready! All moist and yummy.

These little guys were more than ready to eat!

There was so much yummy food! Kaitlyn brought the corn and ham and pecan pie. Hannah brought mashed potatoes and an amazing apple cake. Jenny brought cranberry jello salad and homemade rolls.
We had More than enough food! Thank you every one for your help! 

:)

Lets eat!! 

"All the food looks so good.."

Homemade butter on fresh rolls... Can't get any better than this! 

One of the guys plates... doesn't look like the plates are big enough. :P

The little ones enjoying every bite. 

Everyone ate till they were about to pop! Everything was so delicious!

They were all singing Jesus Loves Me so loud you couldn't hear yourself. :)

Many dirty dishes! Mom always taught us when we were little that if there are lots of dirty dishes, we have lots to be thankful for! :)  

Judah doing what we all wanted to do after eating so much! :)

Last Thanksgiving we went skeet shooting, and the guys decided it was going to be a family tradition.
So we all jumped on the back of trucks and drove out behind Jaylon's house to go shooting.

It was a cold blustery day at first, but soon cleared up and was perfect. 

Getting everything ready.

Not so sure the little kids think this is a very fun tradition... LOL

Everyone enjoys their turn of shooting :)

Getting more shells to fill empty guns.

Picking up all the shells after we were finished.

Everybody was eager to head back for...

Desserts! :) All the pies and desserts were amazing topped with fresh whipped cream!

Grandpa babysitting while the rest of us were playing Dutch Blitz, and Scattergories.

Such a chubby little guy! He acts so much older than a month and a half old!

Dutch Blitz, a game that will never get old in our family. As you can tell this was a crazy game! Our table was a bit small for all the people that were playing, so our piles got very distorted! 

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hope your's was just as amazing!!
