Did Martha Stewart come to town??

This past Sunday I decided to put together a little Thanksgiving feast of our own. Both our kids are not going to be with us this year for the holiday and so I wanted to share that with them still. Any excuse to make food and have the family together really. So I was excited to cook my very first Thanksgiving meal. I must say I would have been happy to have Martha Stewart stop by and stay for dinner. It turned out great! With the help of some great cooks themselves my mom and sister did there share of wonderful dishes as well. The kids made turkey hats and everyone ate and ate and ate........then we ate some more of kades yummy pumpkin cake. Yes you heard me and I am sad I don't have the pictures to prove it but after dinner kade whipped up a fabulous cake. Ladies he should no longer be on the market, he is one of a kind. Anyway for all of you that are cooking thanksgiving dinner, good luck and my hats off to you all, it is a lot of work but it tastes so good!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Cowboy Up!

We went up to my grandparents, Ginny & Papa's, house last weekend to play Cowboys and Cowgirls. Rylee and I love to go there and haven't been as much as we should have, however my little family has never been all together. How sad is that. Laren being the huge cowboy fan that he is, wasn't all to eager to get his butt soar in the saddle. The kids on the other hand could hardly get enough. Papa, myself and Colby and Rylee road all day saturday, the only reason we stopped is it was starting to rain and get dark. The kids loved it and Colby being his first time riding did awesome. He was a natural, I knew he had some Idaho boy still in him. Thanks Ginny and Papa and Tyler for the great time, I promise not to make is so long before the next visit. We love you!

Larens horse was named Polaris!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I love and will always love Halloween! I wish I had a ton of money to decorate my house all up you know one of those ones your kids beg you to drive by and the ones the kids are afraid to come to the door to trick or treat! I don't know if I will ever get there but, I have high hopes for this holiday. Maybe next year... Anyway I love everything about it, starting with the way my kids get sicked out and dry heave when they have to gut there pumpkins. What wimps :)




I do wish that Halloween Day wasn't always so rushed and busy. Ours started off with pumpkin pancakes then off to school for the costume parade. Rylee was Princess Jasmin and Colby was a Whoopie Cushion. He had a remote fart machine that added immensely to the effects of his costume, it was great! They both looked so cute! Then it was back home to get my costume on a witch wasn't that far of a stretch for me :) Then back to school for Colby's class party. Then after school we ran over to Nana and Papa's to trick or treat and have pizza. Then back to our house for more trick or treating and a fun neighborhood party. All in all I was wore out at the end of the day, but it was all well worth it!
