THANKSGIVING WEEK!

On Monday, Kristen came down from BYU to visit and my kids were so excited to see her and have her stay with us. She came with me on Wednesday to see Kate run the turkey trot against the 5th and 6th graders@ her school. She won FOURTH place! At the end of the race Kate was running side by side a girl, but then out of nowhere she took off and ended up beating the other girl by a few seconds. When the other girl finished she burst into tears. Kate and I chuckled. Boy, it stinks to be a LOSER!


We went to St. George for thanksgiving to visit with my sister Rena and her family. Our family always looks forward to this trip. We just love St. George! Tyler and I have decided if he ever loses his job, we are moving there. Dixie Rock is one of my kids favorite places to visit when we are there. They would climb around the rocks all day if we let them. That day it was a little chilly, but the Fall weather was a nice change.

















The kids had such a good time @ my sister Rena's house. Swimming, jumping on the new trampoline, and playing with their cousins. My Sister's house is definitely the party house. Always something going on, they know how to entertain and that's just what kids need.












On our last day in St. George we got a sitter for the three younger kids and went for a fun hike @ leeds. The scenery was amazing and the hike was scary at times, but so much fun. Rena and Chris really know those mountains. Thanks so much for the good times!
