Casey

I think we wore Casey out.  This is how she looked soon after we got to grandma's house.  I think she saw all the kids and just decided to fake she was tired so they would leave her alone!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  It's one of my favorite holidays.  We went to Grandma and Grandpa's.  There were 16 of us.  The food was great.  We had turkey, ham, potatoes, green bean casserole, corn casserole, cranberry relish, sweet pototoes, stuffing, and some other things that I am forgetting.  `I hope all of you have much to be thankful for.  I know I do.  God bless!

Danielle's Snowman Cake

Danielle decided to make this cake for Thanksgiving.  I think she did a pretty good job.  I hope we can keep Josiah out of it until tommorrow!

Matthew's Massive Fort

Matthew was in charge of Josiah while I was doing some stuff with the boys.  When I saw him walking down the hall with some blankets, I got a little nervous.  He made this huge fort for Josiah in the living room, and I mean huge.  It took up most of our living room.  To his credit, when they were done, he put away all the blankets and even vacuummed. 

Climbing the Walls Part 2

Josiah gets in on the action.  He thinks the boys are so funny when they climb up the walls.  Soon he will be climbing them, too.

Our Thankful Tree

Every year around Thanksgiving, we think about things we are thankful to God for.  This year some of the things on our tree are-the Bible, Jesus, animals, snow, God's beautiful creation, and family.  We hope all of you have a blessed Thanksgiving this year.

Go, Gators!

Matt has really enjoyed playing basketball this fall.  He is working hard to stay focused and listen to his coach.  It's a lot of fun to watch him play.  His is getting a lot more playing time this year.  This guys seem to really play well as a team.  Go, Gators!

Cooking with Gramma

We all love the Sesame Chicken at Safeway (except Matt), so we decided to try a recipe I found.  Many of the ingredients were foreign to me, so I called Mom.  She had all the ingredients that the recipe called for, so it was off to Mom's for a fun time of cooking and eating.  The boys helped for a while, they really enjoy cooking.  But Mom and I did most of the cooking.  The end result was yummy!

Climbing the Walls

Climbing the walls at our house takes on a whole new meaning.  The boys have been having so much fun just climbing the walls.  I guess it's like a playground inside.  They finished tennis for this term so this is the next best thing.  Matt had his first basketball game of the season.  He got a lot of playing time.  We think his height may have something to do with that.  Danielle will have her first volleyball game in early December.  She is looking forward to it.  Sarah, Matt, and Dani went bowling today.  They had a blast with friends from church and the school.
