ThanksGiving Day

What a wonderful holiday. We have SO much to be thankful for! Josh's ma and pa came from California. It was a wonderful visit. David and Monica came with the kids, Jack and Christopher. Then there was Mom, Josh,Luke, Melody and me. Josh made a top to put on the pool table so we could have a BIG table. It worked out great. Here is all the party people.
The table was a little high for Melody.
Here are the wild Indians that hunted down the wild turkey.
The Turkey survivied.

Melody helped stuffed the turkey.What cuties.
Josh bought a turkey fryer. He though it would be fun to fry the turkey dinner. We decided that I would do the big turkey and he would try the fryer on a smaller turkey. First we bought the fryer at Target for $40. The next time I went to Walmart I saw the the peanut oil was $25. So far with the turkey this thing was going to cost us $75. Then I saw an ad in the Target advertisement where I thought it said there was the same fryer plus the peanut oil and injector and injection juice for $30. Josh returned the first fryer, when to the self and discovered the fryer was on sell for $30 but the package of supplies was another $30. Now the price of turkey is $70, saved $5. When Josh got home to put the fryer together we found out that you need a propane tank..another $30! Since it was Thanksgiving eve, we called our good friends, Kim and Jarrod, thankfully we were able to borrow there tank.

The turkey was great, the process went well. I kind of hoping for a little spark, makes great pictures!

Baby Einstein

I let Luke watch Baby Einstein while I was getting stuff ready for Thanksgiving. I had the video one teaching about body parts, it's for ages 9 months and up...He is so advance :)Heehee Anyway I heard a laugh, Melody was hanging out watching it to. So sweet, their first movie together. Here is where they are learning about the nose.
Here is my nose.

"The Cake"

Janene and I went to CostCo on Saturday. Both of the kiddo's were sleeping in the car, so Janene ran in to pick up some steaks. While she was in there she called me and asked about dessert for Thanksgiving. I told her that it was taken care of, then she asked about dessert for that night. Sure! I'm up for dessert. Then she came out with the largest chocolate cake I have ever seen. I had to put a toothpick in the picture to show the size, but it still doesn't do the cake justice. When I actually picked up the cake, it must have weighted at least 10 pounds. I do know where 3 of those pounds are today!



Melody enjoyed the cake too!

Golf Day

Josh and Ed went golfing on Saturday and Sunday. Josh beat his day twice, PLUS he got and Eagle. Good times.

Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa Gerving came from California for Thanksgiving. Grandma brought lots of goodies for the little ones. Melody love the princess crown and earrings. We had a great time visiting with them.

halloween

Melody had a blast trickORtreatin. We went with a "pack" of friends from the hood. Here is a picture with her friend Kayla. They were great Halloween buddies. Melody is a Monkey. Melody is doing the pre trickORtreat dance while she is getting ready to go out.

Luke also was a Monkey.

I think this is such a funny picture. I asked Melody to get next to Luke so I could take their picture...
Here is the shot seconds later, Notice Melody not as happy...either is Luke. Guess he wasnt so excited to have a Monkey on his face.

Halloween Cookies

Melody and Nana made yummy cookies. Guess I need to add "rolling pin" to my Christmas list to Santa.

I think she liked them.
Luke's job was just to look cute.

So Sweet!

2 cute

On the 15th of October Luke started to "Hear" Himself. It's funny the noises this little guy makes. I thought these were pretty cute pictures. He is 5 weeks old here! Where does the time go??

WOW dishes

Not sure where this came from...
I was watching TV and all of a sudden,Melody
gets up, moves her chair to the sink and starts cleaning the
dishes...I LIKE it!

A beautiful Day

Last saturday we went to Jack's football game and Christopher's soccer game.
It was so soooo beautiful outside.

We had lunch at the Time Machine. The place was so adorable. All the wait staff was dress in characters, ours was Aladin. Melody was so excite when she saw Snow White. We went for lunch, the cheapest lunch was $14.99. The kids meal was $8.99 plus it didn't come with a drink!...I was like WHAT!!! When Aladin came back I asked how much the salad bar was. He said it was $5.99. Why is this information not on the menu??? Needless to say we had the salad bar!
We ate in a GIANT pumpkin. That's me in the middle of David and Mom! It was really fun, the kids thought it was wonderful!
