swimming at the hotel...

after we had our thanksgiving dinner, we went back to the hotel where cherry was staying to let the kids swim! this was their highlight of the day, they've been waiting to "go swimming at the hotel!" or as isa would say "wimming." {she doesn't pronounce her "s" if they are in front of a word.

getting ready!

anthony did not want to be in the water!

levi telling anthony that it's okay...

isa being a little schmuck...

fighting dad...doesn't want a picture.

isa had more fun playing with the towels, she loved the way ronda would wrap her up in a towel...she kept going back!

isa NEVER lets me take photos, or stands still for a second to even snap a few of her, so when she actually did today...i kept shooting away! i love all of these and her cute little face!

 

Happy Thanksgiving...

 
For us will be another year of Thanksgiving with no family...Levi's working again. Just us at home. We had planned to go to my parents for Thanksgiving this year, but with all the snow that Idaho just got, and bad roads, and us not having snow tires yet...we are staying home. Levi will be working all day, so for us is just another day at home. I remember last year, he brought our last trailer load of stuff from Idaho on Thanksgiving morning, then went out to Walmart to go buy groceries to make Thanksgiving dinner for us, of course they were out of turkeys, so we had a rotisserie chicken instead :)

I am so thankful for everything that I do have. Especially my family!

 

And...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Annareigh! My little sister was born on Thanksgiving night, seventeen years ago!

before "the storm"...

We all knew "the storm" was coming...so I figured it was my last day to hurry and snap some pictures while it was still Fall! We had just got back from Tai Pan... while we had the Durango for an hour, we had to get out of the house! Levi hasn't been doing computer work for over a month now, so he's out doing jobs, which leaves us home. I do have my Bronco, but now that winter is almost here, it's too cold to drive it with the soft top on, my hard top is still in Firth, parked in the shop.

 

 

My quick wreath I put together at the last minute...
 

Gulianna in her sunglasses...and Isa, yeah, don't know what she's doing!
 
 

My .25¢ scarecrows I bought, like 6 years ago...and the first time ever using them! Gulianna loved them, and she always has to count them in spanish :)
 

And then a couple hours later..."the storm" hit! Of course it wasn't what we are used to in Idaho, but apparently down here, people freak out... 

I know, hardly any snow, compared to what Idaho just got!
 
 
 
 

 

Thanksgiving...

 We went over to my mom's for Thanksgiving, she had everything all ready before we got there...and she even went to the airport to pick up Anthony! We haven't been able to see Anthony since he's been home from Iraq...so it was nice to see him for Thanksgiving.

Gulianna on our way up there...

and with Rene and RJ, now where's Anthony? I can't believe I didn't get one single picture...

mom's decorated Thanksgiving table...

and we also celebrated Annareigh's birthday, can't believe she's 15 now, she was born on Thanksgiving fifteen years ago! 

oh...there's Anthony!

Picking a pumpkin...

I was planning on taking Gulianna to a pumpkin patch, but every time we got off work, it was getting to dark, so we never made it to one. Gulianna and I had colds all Halloween week, which kinda sucked, who wants to be sick the best time of the year! I managed to take her to Broulims to find a pumpkin, but because I waited till the last minute, they were all gone. They had a couple huge mushy ones, nothing even round like a pumpkin! I took a couple of pictures of her playing with the ugly pumpkins, and then we went inside and found a perfect little one her size, for 79¢, imagine that! She loved it, she tried to say pumpkin, so cute...and we actually still have it, and it's December now!

Thanksgiving!

Wow, I can't believe its already Thanksgiving tomorrow....and now Christmas is right around the corner! This year as just gone by way too fast. Its starting to snow a little outside. Actually, we don't even have snow yet and its almost December...next week, something is definitely wrong here, NO SNOW! I do like it, but "we need the moisture" hahah, something I heard EVERY SINGLE DAY while working at Corner Drug. I do miss that place! Well we are getting ready to move...and I hate it. So sad. oh well. Here's some pictures to look at!
