So Thankful

We have so much to be grateful for this year. I feel so thankful for my wonderful family. We have so much fum together. This year Holly and her family came to visit from California. We haven't seen her or her cute little boys since last December. It was fun to see how much they have grown. We had a pretty low key Thanksgiving Day. Blayne was able to play some football with Stephen and Bristol. (thankful for the warm weather)
I took some pictures of the kiddos. (thankful for cameras I don't have the best memory) Then we ate sandwiches for our big Thanksgiving dinner. Holly's family made it late on Thursday, so we ate our traditional Thanksgiving dinner Friday afternoon. (thankful for food, although I ate way to much) What would Thanks giving be with out a trip to BYU to see the BEAN museum. This has become a place we visit often. We had just gone the week before for our Saturday family time. Still we never get tired looking at the animals. They never move so you are sure to see every animal.
We had a great time over our long weekend. I love spending the extra time with my family. It seems like there is never enough time to get everything done and sometimes I am so busy I forget how important it is to spend time with those I love.

How fun that Holly got to come see you, it's hard when family gets spread out like that - but wonderful when you get together again!

We call the Bean Museum the Dead Zoo. It's awesome.

Fishing in Herriman

Fishing in Herriman
Kaley's big one. Kaley didn't have the patience to cast and wait for the fish to bite. I'm not sure how she managed to leave the pole in the water long enough to catch anything.

Kristyn fishing (kind of)

I think Kristyn would rather sit back and relax, and stay as far away from the fish as possible

Sydney' fish

Sydney was getting tired of fishing so she was reeling in the line to pack up and go home. She couldn't beleive it that there was a fish attached to the end of the pole

Blayne was ready for fishing before anyone

Blayne is quite the fishing pro. He has his own spiderman pole and his fishing hat.
