Thanksgiving

  For Thanksgiving this year we went to Heather's house and enjoyed a yummy dinner with her family!  It was so nice to be able to see all of her kids and grandbabies.  After dinner everyone helped clean up and then played some games, Flip 7 and Trivial Pursuit. 











  We had a second Thanksgiving dinner with Grandpa Vance an Grandma JoAnn but didn't get pictures.  We have enjoyed our tradition of cooking a small Thanksgiving dinner for them the Friday after Thanksgiving.  Just them and us.  Because our house is small for now we cook it at our house and haul it to theirs to eat :).  They have a dishwasher which makes clean up a little nicer ;).

  We had our third Thanksgiving dinner with the Tarbets at Grandpa Gary and Grandma Sally's.  Caleb and Skylar's families were able to come and it was great to see everyone.  Zach and I picked Grandma Monte up on the way so she could join us as well.  Caleb smoked the turkey and it was super yummy and the girls were very excited for Sandra's rolls!  We ended the afternoon playing Imposter.  




Light The World

   We were super excited to have the Giving Machines come to Pocatello and to be able to participate in using them!  We braved the cold one afternoon and went as a family.  The girls each used their own money to purchase things.  It was a neat experience to be able to use them and see all the volunteers and performers helping make it successful!  


Family Pictures

  Jerry was amazing as always to fit us in his busy schedule super last minute.  Like November...we didn't have picture clothes until the very last minute, debated even doing them.  Ugh time is getting away from us more and more.  Anyways, we lucked out and even though it was windy it was not a cold day and there was no snow like there has been other years ;).












Halloween

  For Halloween I did copy Grandma JoAnn and make dinner in a pumpkin, that's about as festive as we got this year...life got away from us this year with basketball and football games.  On Halloween Keagan hung out with friends (they all went as Strawberry Shortcake and friends).  They got ready together, watched a movie, went Trick-Or-Treating and played hide and seek.  Kabree had to cheer at the state semi-finals football game.  They performed Thriller and it was awesome.  She dressed up like a zombie cheerleader (of coarse I didn't get any pictures ;).

  The girls participated in Red Ribbon week as usual and as usual I missed a day of getting pictures ;)

Pass, Set, Kill

  Kabree's volleyball season has come to an end.  This year didn't turn out quite how Kab had hoped but there is always something to be learned from every situation.  She got moved up to varsity but didn't get as much playing time as she is use to.  But we are proud of her attitude she showed on the court and on the bench showing her coaches and teammates she is a team player.  As always Kabree loves all of her teammates and will miss the seniors terribly.  She loves the coaches and is hopeful for a better next year.  She is so lucky she has amazing family and friends that come to watch and support her!  I swear she is the most supported player on the team ;) and she really appreciated it this year!  Between grandparents, aunts, cousins, second cousins and friends she knew she was loved ;)!  Thank you De Williams for taking amazing pictures for all of us parents!
