Troy lost a tooth!

He did it!

He lost his first tooth!

And the Tooth Fairy gave him $2.00 for it.

Must have been one special tooth!

Thankful

This year, we had Thanksgiving dinner at our house.

We were LUCKY enough to have our families with us to celebrate this holiday.

Ahhhh cute!

Love these girlies!

The little boys thought it was pretty cool to have a table all to themselves. Big Stuff Guys!

Say Cheez!

CHEEZ!

Rob and his 3 SWEET girls!

My sweet dad helped us by making the gravy.

And boy was it YUMMY!

Lela and Grandma Terra

What a NUT!

Sure love him though!!

After going through my pictures, I realized that we forgot to take pictures of so many people and I am sorry.

We love you forgotten ones:)

Pilgrim or Indian

Carter's kindergarten class had their Thanksgiving Day program at school. They have been working hard on their songs, their dances and their speaking parts. They even learned sign language with a couple of the songs.

Carter's part: "I'm grateful for my family."

The second half of the program, he got to dress up as a Indian. And what a cute little Indian he was:)

Good Job Buddy!

We loved watching you perform:)

It's Grandma Terra's Birthday!

And we want to CELEBRATE!

Most of the grandkids

We had the family over for a yummy BBQ.

Cake and Ice Cream are a must:)

Doing what Grandmas do best: holding their grandbabies!

Thanks everyone for coming and letting Terra know how much she means to us. We LOVE her so much!

Happy Birthday Terra!

My sweet niece, Jessica, got to go on her first high school dance last weekend.

We went over to her house to see her all dolled up.

She is such a BABE!

I just LOVE her dress!

And Lela did such a great job on her hair.

BEAUTIFUL

Disney on Ice

It's Carter's turn to go on his date with me!

I decided to surprise him and take him to Disney on Ice. And of course I wanted to take my Grandpa Tom with us. (I don't think there is a soul that loves Disney more than Grandpa Tom.)

We picked him up from school and took the traxx downtown. Carter was so excited to ride the train. I think this was his favorite part of the night.

We had awesome seats right up front.

He loved seeing Mickey and his friends!

Unfortunately he had never heard of Lilo and Stitch...

or The Little Mermaid.

Luckily he loves Peter Pan and Captain Hook!

FINALE!

Yummy!

After the show ended, he said "I thought we were going to Disneyland. That's where I really wanted to go."

Way to Dream Big!

Halloween Week

The week of Halloween, we decided to take a little mini vacation to warm St. George. Couldn't think of a better way to celebrate Halloween:)

We did a whole lot of SWIMMING!

We went to a fun place called "Pirate Island".

It is a pizza buffet/arcade.

The kiddos loved it...so did the adults!

"My Girls"

Love them more then they will know!

We went to see THRILLER! So what that I saw it the weekend before. It was still GREAT! Most of the kids loved it, while Troy and Brooks not so much:( Troy was actually pretty scared. Poor Boy!

Check Troy's face out in this picture. He even hated the Not So Scary Clown. Sorry Troy Troy!

Carter, on the other hand, LOVED it! He even posed next this creepy creature!

I think these two loved checking out the dancers!

Blakley sat and watched the first half in awe and then slept through the second half. I think she loved the music and the dancing.

This zombie can up behind Clint and stole his itouch. That's what he gets for trying to read during the intermission :)

On Saturday morning, Clint and I got up and ran the Monster Dash 5K. Wish I would have bought a costume to run in. lol Thanks babe for running with me. Maybe one day I will run as fast as you......probably not. Sorry!

Later on we decide to carve some pumpkins.

It was so nice to be able to go Trick-Or-Treating without having to wear winter coats like we usually do every year. Yay for warm weather!!

Blakley really got into the whole trick-or-treating thing this year. She loved running up to the door and then would squeal when they answered the door holding candy.

Our little Fairy

Troy, Tanner, Carter, Clint

Clint and Tanner

Tristin rockin the 70's, Jessica (Deb from Napoleon Dynamite) and Lela the flapper

After all the trick-or-treating was over, the kids all got into bed and the adults stayed up late and played SCUM. (Thanks Jess for teaching it to us old folks.) Carter of course didn't, he came upstairs after a little while with his own jack-o-lantern face painted on. NICE ONE CARTER! What would we do without our little funny man.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
