Thanksgiving!!!

This year for Thanksgiving we stayed in town. We helped Grandma Audrey host the Thurston Family Reunion. We had a blast! We did it Thanksgiving day. We had about 50 people show up. We played Bingo, Minute To Win It Games, raffled off TONS of prizes, had crafts for the kids, a jumper for the kids and lots of delicious food!

That day was also mine and Jason's 4Th wedding anniversary. It was nice to be with family and have a ton of fun and laughs! It was nice to catch up with those you don't see often. It was a great day! I love my family and I'm grateful for them!

Kelsi Lynn

I love this little girl! She is my big helper and my little buddy! I love how girly she is! She loves clothes and shoes! She loves her family, especially her grandparents and her brothers! She is always asking me if she can go to my presidency meetings with me. Last night I gave in and brought her. She fits right in with all the older kids in my ward. Its so funny. They just adore her! I'm so grateful for her and her bright spirit. She's so happy all the time. She is such a quick learner. The other day we were in the car and she starts quoting the Pledge of Allegiance! I was shocked! Thank goodness for preschool!! :)

She dressed herself yesterday. Apparently, my outfit wasn't good enough for her! :) Its fun to watch her grow and develop her own personality. Its going to be so fun having her in primary with me in a few months! I'm excited to watch her learn even more about the gospel. She is my sweetheart! I love you Kelsi Lynn!!!

Weekend Report

We had a jammed packed weekend! Filled with family fun! My favorite! Kelsi spent the night with her grandma and grandpa Saturday night. They took her to dinner and let her wear an outfit that was intended for Christmas. Take a look! So cute!

We had family dinner Sunday night then headed to my Grandma's house for a planning meeting about our Family Reunion we're having this week. Jason was in a great mood! He even helped Kenzie with her homework! They both left even more confused! LOL!

We got home pretty late, and Keaton fell asleep on the ride home, I put him in bed and we headed to the kids room for PJ time! Jason and I were chatting while the kids were getting dressed. He was sitting on my rocking chair. When the kids were done getting dressed they climbed up on him. Moments like these make me so gratful I have such a great husband who loves our kids so much!

Movie Night!

My brother Nick and his wife Candice took Kelsi and Kyler a few nights ago. Nick picked them up after he got off of work. They took them to McDonald's for dinner.

Then they took them to a 3-D Movie Megamind. They all had a blast. Kyler only cried once, and Nick and Candice came home with so many stories. Such as Kelsi singing Teenage Dream at the top of her lungs! We're sure thankful for them being so great to my kids! And sure is good practice for Nick and Candice! :)

Opportunity Village

Every year, Jason's work, sponsors a family holiday party at Opportunity Village. We get in to the Magical Forest for free. We get unlimited train rides, carousel rides, cookies, and a huge bag of toys! The kids had a blast! I could have done without the 30 minute wait in line for the 2 minute train ride, but that's just me.

I had to literally peel Kyler's fingers off the carousel pole. He screamed and cried when it was time to get off the ride. Poor little buddy! :) We did have a great time. Thanks SC for a fun night!

Time's a flyin!!!

Keaton is 6 months old today! I can't believe it! Time is flying!! :) He has two teeth, he can crawl and scoot all around. But when he gets to anywhere there is tile, he freaks out! When we put him in his walker, he goes all over the house! And you have to watch out! Because he'll smack your shins! We all love our little Keaton! Kelsi and Kyler love to hold him, try to pick him up and always want to kiss and hug him. He lights up anytime Jason walks in the room or if he hears his voice. And he practically jumps up and down when he sees me! :)He's now sleeping through the night and I sure do appreciate that! I love how good he smells and his chunky cheeks! And its so funny, he has sweaty little feet! We sure do love our Keaton David! And I would endure a c-section any day to have you here!

Happy Halloween!

Just a quick update. Saturday night, we went to my mom's stake Trunk or Treat this year. It was huge! And it was really fun taking the kids around with my sister and cousins. :) Jason was at a side job but joined us right before it was over.

Afterward, we went to Sweet Tomatoes with Kenz, Mom, Dad and Jarred for a late bite to eat. We sure love that place! Especially Jason! All the salad you can eat! His type of heaven!

The next day, which was actually Halloween, we went to my Aunt Stacey and Uncle Justin's house for dinner. It was also the celebration of Justin's birthday. We had a good time.
