Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Well, today was Turkey Day. We got together with Warren's side of the family this year. It was nice because I didn't have to do a lot of cooking this year. I only had to make the green bean caserole and the corn. Of course this means we don't get to enjoy the leftovers for days like we usually do. We went to Warren's sister Tammy's in-laws for dinner at 4:00. It was a yummy feast and we enjoyed the company. We all had stuffed bellies and enjoyed visiting and watching a movie while digesting all that food. I want to take this chance to tell my family and friends how thankful I am for them. I love you guys so much!!! I also want to thank my Father in Heaven for all the many blessings he has poured down on me. I have been truly blessed. Thank you all again for everything!! Here are some pics of our day.

Outing to the Park

We got a call this morning inviting us to go to the park. We went to Windemere Park. It is a small park tucked away in a neighborhood. The kids had a lot of fun and even the adults played a little too!!

Choir Performance

Tonight Carlin had the opportunity to perform with the school choir at a visitation night for parents who are interested in seeing what the school program is like at her school. The kids were so cute and they did a great job! Thanks again to Heather for all of her hard work with the kids!!

Matt broke his wrist!

Warren took all the kids, Tom and Justice out to Prairie City OHV park to dirtbike. While there Matt had an accident and they thought he might have broken his arm. We decided to wait until the next morning for an appt. rather than going to the ER. I took Matt to the doctor while everyone else went to church. They took X-Rays and the doc said their was no fracture that she could see. So they put his arm in a splint and sent us on our way. Matt and I went to the last hour of church. When we got home there was a message on the machine saying that there was a fracture in his wrist and that she had set up an appt. for Tuesday Morning. Today we went and had it looked at by the orthopedic surgeon. He said no surgery was needed, but would take six weeks in a cast to heal. So four days after it happened he has his cast on. Needless to say, I was little frustrated with the weekend doctor at Kaiser. Oh well. Here is the proof that Matt indeed did brake his wrist.

Look what I found on my camera!

I was importing pictures from my camera today and I found this video Carlin had made of a dance she made up to a song. I just thought it was cute and thought I would share.
