Thanksgiving Weekend

This year we spent Thanksgiving with Shane's family in Escalante and had so much fun! His brother and sisters and cousins are all around our age so we played lots of games and laughed really hard!

Daxton loved ALL the food, we couldn't shovel it in fast enough. Unlike his sister, who only nibbled on that roll.

Daxton and Krayton took time away from the stairs to play in the dishwasher....they are so cute together.

Bofore coming home on Friday, we stopped at the Shakespear's new cabin that is almost done being built. It was a little chilly in there until the fire got going....


We got home Friday night, and put up our Christmas decorations all day on Saturday. I look forward to doing this all year.....love it, Kennedi is always a great help, and this year Dax and the kitties were part of the fun.



Kennedi decorated her own tree in her room

This cat loves to climb in the tree




Saturday night, Shane and I went out with Coby and Jessica to celebrate mine and Jessica's birthdays. We went to dinner in Manti, and then to the movie in Ephraim....NEW MOON of course, it's even better the second time ( I think Shane secretly loved it too, he just won't admit it).


Then on Sunday, I turned the big 29....I'm not thrilled about almost being out of my 20s, but what can you do? I got to speak in church for the 2nd week in a row.....YES, IN A ROW!!!! Last week our family spoke, and this week the Young Women's Presidency had to speak. Just glad they're over with now!

NEW MOON

Ok, I have to say, IT WAS AMAZING!!! I loved it!

I also have to say I'm now borderline TEAM JACOB!!

Wow...wasn't he yummy?

So....I went to Moab because my mom and her friends rented the theater. It was so fun! Here are the cute tickets (made by me).....

Me and Kenna....

Here we are goofing around before we opened the doors......

Kenzee, me, and my mom....

and the awesome door prizes.....

Love this Edward Stamp....

Me and Kenzee waiting for the movie to start.....she fell asleep about 10 minutes later. Ha Ha.

So BIG!!

Look who's so BIG!!!

Dax just turned 10 months and is standing by himself. He was doing it a ton today, and even took a couple steps. Even though Kennedi was walking before she was 10 months, He just doesn't seem old enough to be walking....he is still so little!

Shane suprised me the other night and had his brother Coby come watch the kids and took me on a date. I think this was our first (alone) date we've been on since Dax was born.

We are limited on things to do in our small town, so we went to the movie in Ephraim. Our choices were "The Box" and the "The Vampire Assistant". Even though I'm a huge fan of vampires....that movie looks horrible so we went to "The Box"

Oh my gosh!!! Blah Blah Blah, so boring. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. The ONLY good thing about it was the Trailer for NEW MOON at the beginning.

Speaking of NEW MOON.....I'm so so excited for the midnight showing. My mom and her friend rented out the theater in Moab again this year, so I'm going down there to go with them. It's going to be so fun. They've done AMAZING door prizes and have went all out to make it a fun night. We all got shirts to wear, mine of course is TEAM EDWARD, Kennedi had to have one too, she wanted the team Jacob one (she likes him because he is Shark Boy).......Can't Wait!

Show and Tell

Kennedi finally got to bring her kitties in for show and tell yesterday. She was so excited! It was fun for me to get to see her at school.

Then....lucky us (not), we went to the grocery store and Santa just happened to be there. I tried to talk Kennedi out of standing in the hour line but she insisted (I know, I'm no fun). Dax was mesmerized by him though....

Today I was busy doing some stuff and I walked into the living room to find Kennedi reading her scriptures...with her fake glasses and all. She is so funny!

So Funny!!!

Taylor Swift was the host of SNL last night and they did this Twilight spoof....it is HILARIOUS!

Trick or Treat

Halloween was fun.....Kennedi was The Little Mermaid and Dax was a pirate (kind of, I made it an hour before we left).

We went to the Halloween Carnival at Kennedi's school on Friday night, and then did lots of Trick or Treating around Gunnison on Saturday night.....Ah, Good Times!
