Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Thanksgiving, 2006

We just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and know that we are thinking of you and wishing we were sitting a little closer today...We are thankful for you and feel very blessed to have you in our lives.

Yes, it does snow in PA.....

Well, Saturday morning we woke to white stuff on the ground. We usually don't see snow until January and that's if we are lucky. It obviously wasn't much but it was enough to make the sled go down the hill and that was all that mattered! As you can see, a few times down the hill and the snow was gone, but they continued on around the yard for several hours until there wasn't any left. The weathermen are calling for above average snowfall this year. Everyone that lives here is complaining, but us Utahns are crossing our fingers that they are right!

Happy Halloween...Happy Fall!

Well, it was an usual year for us. I thought I would recover from my surgery sooner than I did so unfortunately, I only got around to getting costumes for Bryson and Preston this year. Bryson was a soldier and Preston was a ninja, we had a lot of trick or treaters probably about 150 or so. The weather was great and the kids got tons of candy. Our neighborhood has trick or treating hours between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. It was very interesting to see that our doorbell did not ring again after 8:28. The trees here are beautiful, everywhere you go it looks like something out of a magazine...I took some pictures of all the boys out working in the yard on Saturday, I tried to get one with our house so everyone could see where we live. Bryson is learning to use the trimmer (I won't let him do it without safety glasses) and Preston has a new hobby of breaking rocks to see what they look like inside (I won't let him do this without safety glasses either) maybe it's because I only have sight in one eye and wish I could see out of both, I don't know but I am an advocate of safety goggles.
