Such a slacker at blogging lately!

So it's been a while since I blogged. Sorry! Not much to really report. We had our Thanksgiving! We actually ate at my moms house this year. On even years, we eat with my mother and step-dad. On odd years, we cook dinner at our house and Melissa's family joins us. Dinner was amazing as always and it was nice to visit with my nephews.

Zach and Erik

The Sunday after Thanksgiving, we had our own dinner. Becky B was in California visiting her brother (who just got home from Iraq) for Thanksgiving so when she got home we had our own dinner with her and her kids! It was good food once again!

Last weekend we took a little road trip to Boise. Melissa's grandfather lives there as does one of my nieces. We usually go at least once a year to visit them all.

Here is a picture of the sunset as we were driving up there. It was beautiful. The picture below does it no justice.Me and my mom on the drive upMy mom and niece Courtney. They look so much alike it is scary! Melissa, Courtney and meCourtney's sister Haley!
Before we came home, we had to get Melissa's grandfather a new TV so he will be able to watch PBS in February. Lucky him, with the new digital stuff, he gets like 4 different PBS channels. He is in heaven I am sure!Melissa, grandpa and M's mom Pat

Until I blog again, ROCK ON!

Precious!

This girl is just amazing. Watch the complete video. I know it is kinda long but it is well worth it!

Sunday Riding!

We decided to take the bikes out today near our house. Since we live so far west, there is a place right by our house where you can ride. The weather was amazing and I was already so sore I could hardly move (from football yesterday). So I figured, "what will it hurt?". Well, it hurt everywhere. Anytime I try to get off the couch, I sound like a 90 year old lady. But it was well worth it. Here are some pics from today!

Jaxon, we can't wait until he is old enough to ride!

We had a great time and hope the weather holds out so we can come again before it snows. Hell, we may even come after it snows.

2008 eBay Turkey Bowl

The eBay Turkey Bowl was yesterday. We were the reigning champs! So we get up early on Saturday morning to make it to the field in time. We had a great time but came up a little short this year and took 2nd place.

If I was just a foot taller!

And the aftermath of an elbow in the eye socket.

God I love football and can't wait for our women's league to start in February.

What do you do when the weather outside sucks?

Answers:

Do Somersaults

Dress up like a viking!



Play with your train set!

Invite the boys (Phil & Ted) over to school you on Guitar Hero!

These guys play on expert! It makes me dizzy just watching them play. I couldn't imagine what would happen if I tried to play. My head would probably start spinning around like the girl on Exorsist!

Halloween

So we had a few visitors show up at our little spook alley this Halloween. I love to decorate for Halloween and Christmas. We usually sit and scare kids and have a good time. This year, I had to work. Luckily I can work from home. I only got a few pictures and here they are. Jaxon kissing Jason (Melissa)

My brother in law Chuck (Elf) I laughed so hard!

My sister Aly (Witch as well I think)

A good time was had by all! I am so glad the majority of my family came by. My brother Chris and his wife Pam also came by with their daughter Lacie. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of them.
