Bob & Sylvia (from Utah)
Jerry, Heather, JJ, David & Alex (from Utah)
Mark, Heather, Luke & Olivia (from Texas)
and

We were also lucky enough to spend time with our extended family.
Pam & Eric ~ Brent, Molly, Jack, Sam & Davis ~ Katie ~ James & Erin ~ Ted

We are so THANKFUL to Matt, Lisa, Moses, Wyatt & Matthew for hosting our Thanksgiving festivities.

There was eating

posing

playing

hanging out / relaxing

LOTS of chatting

And the grand finale...
a COMPLETE family photo.

We feel so BLESSED.

I Can Tell That You Are Going To Be Friends

Today was a day off school.
Happy Martin Luther King Day.
So of course all kinds of shenanigans took place.

Jon & his posse hit the A&W for some grub and then home for Smallville, Rock Band and MORE grub.

McKay & his posse headed over to "Cassie's" with a quick stop at the dollar store afterward (arriving home covered in GLITTER... Macey?!)

Mike working. Man you'd think his boss would give him a day off once in awhile.

AND the Ninos... well, I can't really put it into words, but I did catch it on video.

Mr. Capn' Crunch,
meet Ms. Christmas Crunch & Ms. Mini Wheats.
I can tell that you are going to be friends.

Just a Bit O' Holiday Cheer

Is there really any question why I love these rascals?
ho ho ho, bro.

Halloween Goodness - aka - eat candy till you puke

Halloween 2008 found us mingling with Axl (Chase) & Slash (McKay)...
and I found myself saying, "WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, BABY!"
(no kidding)

then there was my lil' cowboy (Tony), "trick or treat ya'll"
my sweet & sassy flamenco dancer (Valerie), "trick or treat, cha-cha-cha"
and my oh so groovy hippie chick (Courtney), "peace, love & trick or treat man"

A good time was had by most** as we enjoyed yet another Haunted Heather Halloween with family & friends.

** this is Tony's treat bucket & as you can see, he really did not dig the whole "dress up in a weird costume & knock on strangers doors" thing. (he ripped off his costume before we even got out the door) Do you think he understood that he would get CANDY for playing along????
I THINK NOT.
