Thanksgiving Weekend-St. George

This is kind of long, but if you haven't noticed, we are a picture-taking family. So here are a few from our very fun Thanksgiving Weekend in St. George.

The morning we left, Wes and Jackson tried on their helmets...in bed.

Wes found a new woman...

And I found a new man...

Thanksgiving morning, my dad took Wes, Jackson, and Riley to see some cool dino tracks in the rocks.

London-19 months!

November 22, 2008

London is 19-months old today. She is turning into such a cute little girl. I love doing her hair in 2 pigtails. And she loves to wear dresses and knows just how cute she is in them. She is also obsessed with shoes and tries on all her shoes all day long. Londie loves purses and is always getting into mine or my sister's.

Jackson's new snow boots

We bought Jackson some new winter snowboots, which are a few sizes too big so he can wear them (hopefully) for the next few years. He wanted to wear them all day long, but I kept telling him he couldn't. Finally, I caved, hey why not? So we were driving in the car and he said, "Mommy, I'm never never ever ever ever never never ever ever ever never never never ever ever ever never ever never ever never ever ever ever ever never never ever ever ever never ever never never ever ever ever never never never ever ever ever ever ever never ever never ever never never ever ever never ever never ever ever never never never ever ever ever never ever never ever never ever never going to take off my boots!" So, then I said, "Well, Jackson, what if your feet get too hot?" And he replied, "Hmmm, I'll just take them off."

I don't know why, but that just hit me so funny, and I couldn't stop laughing. He spent so much time with his "never evers" and just simply nixed it all with his last statement. He is so fun!

Sunday

Don't we look spiffy!
Londie's new dress. I love having a girl!

Handsome little man!

Weekend with Grandpa!

We got a surprise visit from Grandpa David this weekend. He was on his way home from his Moab motorbike trip, so he stopped and stayed with us on Saturday night. We went on a walk up the canyon. It was refreshing and beautiful. Here are a few pictures.

Grandpa with his scary red eyes. J & L love it when he does this.
