Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving dinner at my house this year, and it was a lot of fun. We had about 15 people over, and I am still suprised we are able to fit so many people in the house. We ate way too much and ended the dinner with dessert that Scott's mom makes..Pavlova. We played games and talked. That morning Scott and I went to Walmart for black friday, and we finished some Christmas shopping. The next day Scott's other sister and her five kids came down from Salt Lake. The whole family went to Pirate Island Pizza and we met later to meet Santa. Sean is thinking he is too old to sit on Santa's lap (tear) and Carson was a little unsure about the big guy.

It's a Pirates Life for Me!

St. George City just opened up a really cool restruant called Pirate Island. After the Murder Mystery party we recieved a gift certificate for guessing the right murderer. My family went with our good friends Billy and Bobbi Kirschner and their boys. The restraunt is kind of like the Myan, but Pirate theme instead. It's a sit down restraunt with a kid play area and a big arcade area as well. It is a perfect restraunt for families. We already went there twice last week, and we can't wait to go again.

A'hoy Mateys!!

Scott and I just went to the second annual Muder Mystery Night. Our good friends of ours had hosted the Mystery night, and they always do a great job. This years theme was the Pirate theme. We recieved our invitations on who our character was and who our enemies are, through out the party we recieve clues on who the murderer is. I can't remember my character's name, but I was a Pirate's Widow, I was suppose to be in mourning. My job for the night was to find out who was behind the murder of my husband. There were about 40 people who showed up and everyone were dressed up. The first two pictures are of some friends of ours who always do a great job with their parts. The next two pictures are of us standing around because someone just died and we were listening to why they just got murdered, and what the clues are. The last picuture of of my brother in law Doug, Sister in law Hazel, Scott and myself. The food was excellent, and we are already looking forward to next years Murder Mystery Party.

I am Thankful for my family...

I just wanted to blog what I am Thankful for before I get to busy. We are having a fun Thanksgiving at my house with about 18 people...so I am trying to repaint the house, get the kitchen ready and the food prepared. Then on Friday Emily and her family are coming. I am so excited.

I am Thankful for my family. My children are the most sweetest, fun loving kind hearted children ever. Of course they have their ups and downs, but we always have fun together. I am also Thankful for my husband. I am so glad he has the preisthood, and I think because of that we feel the spirit in our home. He is always the one putting me on the straight and narrow path. The first picture is of the family when we go out to eat late at night. Yep that is what we look like all the time. Carson is always crying, Sean and Carly are always making some kind of weird faces at me when I talk, and Scott...well I don't know what he is doing. The second picture is of my wonderful husband. And finally the last picture has been on my mind for the last couple of days. I still remember how perfect the day was. It was Christmas Eve and Carson was only two days old. My family and Scott 's family were all (well some of Scott's family) there. My parents were even talking nicely to each other. haha...the best part is we had Santa Claus come and had a suprise visit with the kids. He even brought a big red bag full of presents for the kids, Scott and I. (From Scott's old work, they spoiled us.) You can see how excited Sean was.

Blogging Blah Blah Blah

Well, I have been meaning to put my blog on private, but then I saw how much work it is and I don't understand how to put everyone on private..I am slow. I figured when Emily comes down and have a sleep over with me she can show me how to do it. Yay only one more week. In the mean time I guess I will have creepy comments. haha. Nothing too exciting has been happening at all. Halloween was fun, but Carson refused to dress up and went as a HomoSapien for Halloween. Sean insisted that he was a guy from a video game (I have no clue) and Carly was an Army diva. I didn't get many pictures because it seems like the day went by way to fast. All in all business is going well, my office is now in my living room. The people we were going to buy the business from vanished, and I guess they didn't want all of their debts paid off. The only exciting thing that is going on is that we are in a construction nightmare in our neighborhood. They have decided to redo all of the water pipes..(which is good because in the summer time the water tasted like dirt.) On top of that my house was the lucky one chosen to have an ugly fire hydrant in my front yard. The first couple pictures are of Sean, Carly and Carson on Halloween. Scott and I are totally lame parents and we went out to dinner instead of cooking dinner on Halloween. The first picture is of Carson at the parade in his "Halloween Costume..we just wasted 20.00 on a Spiderman Costume. The second one was Sean and Carly at Pancho's and Lefty's (our favorite restruant ever), in their halloween costume. Hopefully I will remember to take lots of pictures on Thanksgiving. We get to have all of the festivities at my house this year... Sorry I am in a really crappy mood....

Profile on Private

Unfortuantely I am going to have to put my profile on private as well. I wasn't going to, but I just got a really wierd comment from someone I don't know, and it was creepy. I guess that is my sign that I will have to go private. Please who ever wants to have an invite please let me know so I can invite you to my blog.
