Thanksgiving Travels

Our Thanksgiving travels went well. We had a good time celebrating my birthday and Thanksgiving with our family's. Thursday morning we packed up and headed to my Grandma and Grandpa Fonnesbeck's house to celebrate Thanksgiving day and to eat our feast. We had a great time...there was 36 people there so it was quite busy, but fun, and crazy. I got to meet my brothers girlfriend Katie. She is wonderful and I really like her, she also makes my bro happy so that is good, it was awesome to see him. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures so I'll have to beg others for some. Then Thursday night we went and stayed with my family.

The kids had a great time with Grandma and with their cousin Sephy. They also got to see some of their aunts and uncles, which was fun.

Nate playing.

My Mommy, we had a great time seeing you!

The kids put on quite a concert for me. They were so cute together playing the piano. I'll have to get a video up for you to see how awesome they were.

Jared, little Chris and Miley played some xbox together.

Friday I woke up and my mom made me coffee cake for my birthday. It was awesome. I got to blow out 11 candles and everything...no pictures, sad. Then we went to see my dad and Susie. It was fun seeing them too...even if it was for a short visit. We also so my Grandma Gilden...pictures on the next entry.

Friday night Blake & Tina and there kiddo's came over to hang out with us all. We talked and played with the kids and then we played one of the best games out there....Killer Bunnies....

Jared won the Bunnie game...Saturday morning the kids got to help grandma make blue and green pancakes. They had a great time. Grandma Rocks! Russell took some pictures for me, and this is them...

Me cutting up breakfast for the kids, & Neal hanging out with his computer.

Chris still in bed.

My Nate'o & mom and me. It was hard leaving so soon. I'm glad we'll have more time over Christmas to hang out together.

We had to leave to go to Blake and Tina's so I could get my hair cut, Tina did a great job. She is awesome to cut my hair. After we drove down to SLC and stopped by the Ford dealership and got a part for out Escape and then met Jared's grandparents at Olive Garden for my birthday lunch.

Miley Loves Ketchup...I mean loves it like she'll dip her fries in it and lick the Ketchup off it and then dip the same fry again...or she'll use her fork or spoon and scoop the Ketchup up and eat it...weird.

We hung out at Jared's parents for the rest of our little trip. Here is a tutu Sydney made for Miley...isn't it cute. She wouldn't put it on at first when we asked her too, but then she decided she did want to have it on and she was so cute in it. We played killer bunnies again...and we love the Bunnie O Justice! There is never a dull moment when all of Jared's family is around. They tease each other all the time...It's quite fun, even if they now feel like they can tease me...I love it. Well that was our trip. Hopefully none of us will get sick and we can come back before Christmas and have some more fun with our families. I am so thankful for Everyone in my Family....I am so Blessed.

My Ideas for the YW Motto!

So I need help choosing which motto's look the best for some Christmas presents I'm making for my cousins. I need you crafty people to look at these motto's I have made in photo shop and tell me which you like the most...like 3 to 4 from each type. There are 5 different types. One with Christ in the background, one with the Logan temple, the temple in Maui, the one in Navoo, and then the last one is the Salt Lake temple...any help will be really appreciated. Thanks

Amber's Baby Shower

Well Last Saturday I had the wonderful experience to host a Baby Shower for the amazing Amber Cruz. It was a lot of fun. I just hope others had a good time as well. Here is a photo of Amber's mom as a baby, then Amber as a baby, and Sadie (Amber's first little girl). The Cruz's are expecting another little girl on Dec 3, but she will probably come before then.

Here we have those who drew out x and o which means they got to be in a baby feeding contest. The X's got to wear a bib, pick out the type of baby food to be feed (which they all picked peaches instead of something like, squash, sweet potatoes, or peas, I don't know why). Then there partners, the O's got to feed them while being blind folded. Who ever feed there "baby" fastest, with the least amount of mess was the winner.

We were lucky that Amber picked out an X. We had a good time watching.

In the end Amber and Laura won...due to Laura's quick thinking and advanced feeding technique of pouring the food in and shoveling it in fast.

We had several other games and enjoyed eating and hanging out.

Grandma Neva and Aunt Laura..opening the gifts, Miley really wanted to help.

While we had the Shower, Jared hosted Dave and Sadie. Our two wonderful men took care of our little one's. They ate pizza upstairs and had a good time together, when the girls weren't taking turns crying.

Thanks for your friendship and all the fun. We wish you all the best on this next fun adventure together. Let us know if you need anything.

Kodi let me use this sweet water container...and these wonderful Lego's were actually brownies and muffins my sweet little boy made Saturday morning for the Baby shower. He was so excited for it and wanted to help how ever he could. I have such an amazing family. Thanks for all your help too sweetheart and everyone else who helped.

Some Suprises!

So I woke up last Thursday and got Miley and brought her into our bed so she could have her morning milk. Well our typical morning ritual is she comes and drinks her baba of milk and then when she is done she says, "All Done, all done, all done," until I acknowledge that she is all done. Then she crawls over me to the window and wants the blinds open, (which might I add Jared loves, since the window is right by his head), so she can look out into the park behind our house for doggies...Well as I open the blinds what do I see but the basket of this hot air balloon in the air, on it's way down, like 20 feet from our window....nice

peep show for them. We don't know if it had to have an emergency landing or what. The kids thought it was pretty cool to look at. Here is a picture of Nate and Miley hanging out together on Nate's couch too, they love the be together.

Then on Sunday, while I was in the shower, Nate decided he was done with his bath, got out, dried himself off, and got dressed for church. He couldn't find his church shirt, (it was down in the dryer) so this is what he put together. Silly boy. Miley got some new hair items at a baby boutique that was held in our ward. I love the butterflies, they are so cute, especially on my beautiful little girl.
