Thanksgiving 2010

So my desktop computer finally decided to leave me hanging... which has my editing program on it. Oh how I miss it.. Hopefully Santa will bring me a new computer if I am a really good girl!!

We had a great week in Idaho spending time with my family for Thanksgiving.. There was only one thing missing and that was Grandma Judy!! I think we all felt a little lost without her there. Just isn't the same without her.

We started to Idaho on Sunday, Nate in his truck pulling the trailer and me in my car following behind. We made it just past Beaver when we hit a huge snow storm.. The road was covered in ice topped with a few inches of snow.. and it was slick!! Even though everyone was going extremely slow the semi trucks in the right lane started sliding into our lane and I thought they were going to hit me so I pulled to the side of Nate.. and to make a long story short... my left tire went off the pavement enough that my car kept sliding deeper and deeper into the median..and I was stuck in about a foot of mud... topped with snow!!! Glad Nate was in a different car and we were able to just get in with him and finish driving to Salt Lake...(Left my car with the hazards on and a note letting them know to tow it to the nearest town. *$240 later*) The roads were so scary off and on and it took forever to get to Grandma Karen's.. but we finally made it! Gracie was suppose to have some Dr. appointments at primary childrens on Monday but we ended up cancelling those because of the storm that was suppose to hit... Thanks to Dutch and Karen for letting me take there car so I could beat the storm and for going to Beaver to pick up my car!!

Got to Oakley on Monday evening and that is when the real fun started...cooking, cleaning, eating, sledding, 4 wheeling, shopping, dentist appointments... the list could go on forever. It was a full house when everyone was there totalling 13 adults..21 kids.. and 4 dogs! I am so grateful I got spend Thanksgiving with the coolest people ever.



Lucy hates walking in the snow and begs to be carried when she is outside


Nice hat hair after a long day of playing in the snow


Nice pink pants and purple snow boots..(wasn't about to buy new snow clothes for him to play in the snow for a few days, just glad that faiths snow stuff fit him this year... besides real men wear pink!)

Thats how I'm feeling about logan, I don't really care if he has a pink bike for one year cause it won't fit him next year so why waste money. As long as he doesn't ask for pink stuff right?
Wish we would have been here to see you too. Hopefully next time!
