GOBBLE GOBBLE

Thanksgiving had finally approached. This is Austins FAVORITE holiday. We love it. In fact, we love it so much that we had 3 of them. Yes 3!!!

  • First, lunch with Maggie Margo and grandpa Herman
  • Aussie, of course, joined us as well.
    We had some yummy turkey...
  • Second, a quick stop to Danny and Carol's house, where we caught Ty cutting the bird.
  •  
  • Thirdly, we went to grandma Jaine and grandpa Bob's house to "overstuff" our belly's yet again. Here is where we found Ry stealing some snacks before grandma gave the go ahead... cheater. I caught him "mouth" handed.
  • At least he confessed...
    Kai's cute bows
    HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!
      


Party ROCKERS in the HOUSE/TRUCK/MAV tonight

Austin was having a Daddy, Son weekend with Danny. So, I decided I would go to the cabin and include myself on the FFF nights that were in store for Shalon, Neil, Ryon, Mom, and I. Let's just say I havent had that much fun in a long long time. Nothing can beat jamming out to LMAFO with your mom, dad, and cousins. What's funny is...we didnt have anything loud to play the music on in the cabin... so we decided to put our slippers on and head for the...

Yep you guessed it... We headed for the MAV. Also know as the Nissan Pathfinder. And from there on out...it got a little crazy...



And after we got a "little crazy" in the MAV we got "a little bit more crazy" in the Ford...

Yes, this really happened. When we decided that the music just wasnt satisfying in the cabin, we decided to jam in the automobiles that were parked in the driveway.


Admit it...we rock. Who wouldnt want to be our friends???
Sorry though...you had to come in the jeep. :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the jammin took a toll, we rounded back up in the toasty cabin for a few rounds of QUELF. or "ZOULF" as Shalon Star would call it.

This game never seems to fail at giving everyone a good laugh...


Dont Ask.

The next morning, after our long night of singing LMAFO, we all looked like this...

and all we wanted to do was this...


But cute little Kai was heading out to play in the snow. So I had to adjust my laziness attitude and capture some memorable moments of this precious little girl!

Here's what I snapped.

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE...




& then...
She fell... and...

The fun was all over.

I'd have to say, overall, this weekend will be hard to beat. Thanks family for making it so fun! There is never a dull moment and thats what makes our relationship so special. LOVE YOUR GUTS!!!!

The busy life of Kai...

I have a handful of pictures that I took just for fun of cute little Kai. Thought it would be good to post them so everyone can see the fun, adventorous things her and I do when were spending quality time together!

ENJOY!


Below is Kai's "What did you just say" look. I get this often

Welcome to Staehli Farms!

Shalon is always adventurous and can always find something fun for all of us to do. This time it was to visit the Staehli Family Farms, where they had pumpkins, corn fields, farm animals, games for kids, and well...just about EVERYTHING!

Since the boys were gone hunting/working...Shalon, Kai, Aunt Sherry, Mom, Me, Hillary, and Dyllan decided to pack up and go out for some fun.

Kai loved the tractor!

She wasnt too fond of the horse...

But her and Dyl loved the water pumps


& I think Shalon and Hillary liked the train ride a little bit more than the kiddos!


Beautiful Sisters!

Beautiful Best Friends!



Thanks Shalon for taking us on another FFF trip. We all had a blast! So glad Hillary and Dyllan could join us! We love you guys!
