Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we Kevin and his new Fiancee Martha flew in and drove up to PA with us to Heidi and Jays. It was alot of fun! Heidi went all out!! The pictures so dont do the table justice! It looked So pretty! Best of all she Made almost everything! The table cloth (which is reversable) and the Napkins, She also made really cute Turkey Finger puppets, and the cute head dresses for the kids. It was so much fun! The food was AMAZING!!! She made a great turkey and ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, and the best stuffing i have ever had in my life, and three different pies. I made Corn and greenbean cassorol, sweet potatoes rolls, deviled eggs and a pie! Martha made a Really good 5 cup Salad! My favorite!! We ate so so good!! We ate around 2, then the guys had naps and then we ate again around 8. It was AWESOME! Thanks so much Heidi for making Thanksgiving Special! It was great to be with family! Love you guys!!!!

This is the only picture we got of Heidi or Myself. Thanks Kevin for taking it :)

They Passed Out after we ate. They were up at like 4 utah time driving to PA. They were tired!

This is really after he woke up. He had gone into masons room to check on the kids playing and didnt come out.. He fell asleep in masons bed for like 2 hrs. Then came out kinda embarrased and then saw everyone else sleeping

This chair Really is SOO comfortable!

Thanksgiving FHE

For family night the week before Thanksgiving we took a Thanksgiving meal to a family in our ward that need a little extra help this year. I had asked the bishop what family he thought needed it and he gave us a name and address. We put it all together and with the help of their visiting teachers delivered it annonamously. It was alot of fun. We wanted to do the ring the door bell and run thing like we did a few years ago but they lived in a gated secured area. Thats were the visiting teachers came in..So many of the apts around here are like that. Teagan and Aaliyah had alot of fun helping put it together maybe mostly just playing with the tissue paper but we talked about helping people and Teagan seemed to get it.. :)

Fall Leaves

I love the Fall because there is so much fun to be had in the Leafs!! Sadly we havent enjoyed them as much as we could have considering the amount of leafs we have. ( A TON!!) Teagan has loved playing in them. Everytime we bring out the blower he gets his and goes to work. Aaliyah kinda has to be forced but eventually she starts to like them. :)

Aaliyahs 1st Birthday

Happy Birthday to my Sweet Little Girl! I cant even believe it has been a year since she came into our family! We are so blessed to have her! She has such a fun little personality. I just love her so much!
We had a fun little get together with a few friends last night. In the polynisean culture the first birthday is a REALLY big deal. They throw huge parties and tons of people come for Tons of food and they are really fun to go to. I wasnt going to do that but i did want the little party that we did have for her to be kinda special. One of my dearest friends Fallon Hansen always makes fun cakes for birthdays so i decided to attempt something cute. I couldnt decide between the doll one or the castel one so i did both. It was the first time i have ever attempted to make a layered cake let alone use fondant so i am happy with how it turned out. I know its not perfect but i know how to make my next one better so i am happy, and now maybe a little obsessed with fondant :)
Thank you to everyone that came, for the help and extra dishes. Family i am sorry that we are not close enough to be here. We missed you!
Happy Birthday Aaliyah!!!

Smithsonian Institution Museum of National History

Saturday Moana had a lot of appointments. Boo We really look forward to Saturdays with him so when he has Appointments we normally will try and tag along if it makes sense. In between two of them we decided to hit up one of the MANY free museums this one was fun. It is where the night at the museum was filmed its funny how different it is from what they make it look like in the movie.

This is the dino from Night at the Museum

Teagan Loved the Dinosaurs

This guy was charging for a picture with OBAMA $3 for democrats and $30 for republicans. :) haha
