Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! We are lucky to have Uncle Jason with us this year for our first Thanksgiving in Texas. It has been a fun week.

I made my first Thanksgiving dinner this year. It turned out pretty well and the double oven was heaven sent. Dustin took on the important job of the Turkey and his brother Jason was on gravy duty. I tackled everything else. Everything worked out okay except for my sad attempts at pie. Both pies turned out a bit on the burnt side.


Jason has been kind enough to help us rebuild our fence that we lost during hurricane Ike. He and Dustin have been working from morning until dusk each day digging post holes and filling them with concrete. It has been hard, long work and they have had to battle giant Texan mosquitoes to boot. We are grateful for Jason's help. Rebekah has even pitched in to help!




Loyd has felt a bit left out with everyone working in the back yard, but he manages to keep tabs on what we are doing by spying out the back door. Silly boy.


We haven't worked all weekend long. We did take a break to go to the park and Rebekah had a blast going doing the slides and up the ladders. She is getting really good at climbing the ropes and ladders on her own now. She is finally getting confident in her balance. Yea!

Well, at least you made dinner- all I made was jello and... another jello.
I vote for Chocolate Cake as the traditional Thanksgiving dessert.

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
