P.S.

Does anyone know how I can take off the brown background on my header, it seriously just appeared one day and I can't figure out how to get it off and it drives me crazy. Thanks!

We had such a fabulous Thanksgiving this year. It was our year to go to Cade's familie's and it was also my dad's year so we split the day up between the two. I love Thanksgiving for so many reasons... I love it that it gives me a chance to reflect on all that I'm thankful for and I love spending the time with our families and I especially love all the yummy food. We enjoyed dinner at Cade's parents and dessert at my dad's. It was a great day. I just wanted to quickly reflect on a couple things that I am especially thankful for. I feel so blessed to have Cade as my husband. He works so hard so that I can stay home with Mais and I know that sometimes I don't always show him how thankful I am for his hard work. I am so thankful for Mais and the special spirit she brings into our home, I can't even remember life without her in it. I am so thankful for our family and friends and for the gospel in our lives. I know that we are blessed because of it. Sorry to ramble on but I felt like I really needed to share my thanks to you all. I hope you all had a wonderufl Thanksgiving!

*Warning: you may not want to read if you haven't seen the movie and plan to.

-Edward was such a let down... he was not my beautiful Edward I had pictured in my head.

-I'm so glad I read the book first (if I wouldn't have I'm not sure I would've even wanted to after seeing the movie)

-What was up with the scene where Bella see's Edward in the sun for the first time? Wasn't that supposed to take place in the middle of the meadow, the same meadow they play baseball in?

-Did anyone else feel like they were watching a comedy? Everyone around me was laughing through the whole thing.

-Overeall it was an okay movie but didn't quite live up to my expectations, but I kind of figured it wouldn't. How could it?

I went to Carrie Underwood last night, and let me just say it was such a great show. I'm so glad I didn't miss it. I wasn't exactly planning on going because we are saving our money for our basement but Cade knew how badly I wanted to go so he secrectly planned it for me. What a nice husband, huh? I went with my cousin, her daughter, and her daughter's friend. So I had great company and a great performer, what more can ya ask for? We had so much fun and were so entertained the whole time. "Little Big Town" opened for her and I was actually really impressed with them, they were really good live. Here are some pics from the amazing show...


Yes we were at Denny's in this pic, we wanted to do dinner before but everywhere near by was completely packed and had like an hour wait so we made a quick stop to Denny's!



Countdown to Carrie Underwood...





Let the show begin...

ReAl PrIdE...

We were lucky enough to go to the Real game this last Saturday night. We were so dissappointed when they lost but it was such a fun and intense game to watch. Real dominated the whole game and had so many chances to tie the game but couldn't put one in the net. Cade was hoping that he they would win so he could take a road tript to Cali for the finals. Maybe next year...

Sorry I have been slow posting my pics from Halloween, I have been so busy this week. As you all probably know I am such a Halloween fan, I just love it! Well this year was fabulous. We went to the trunk-or-treat with Mais and she had no clue what was going on but it was still fun to take her. After the trunk-or-treat my fam came over for some soup and we just had a fun little party. It got a little crazy with everyone over but it's always fun to get together with my family. I was glad that I didn't run out of candy (my worst fear, I know kind of dramatic). Overall it was a great Halloween for us and I can't wait until next year! Here are a couple pictures of Mais in her costume, I was really trying to catch one of her with her ear's on (it was quite the task).

This past weekend we had so much going on. My mother-in-law has the funnest halloween party every year with just our intermediate family. She always goes all out and makes all sorts of good halloween decorated treats and we have soup. The food is always yummy but her games are even better. She had the funnest little games planned for the kids along with a couple crafts. She had so much stuff to do that we ran out of time. It was a lot of fun though and we are already looking forward to next year.

Then on Saturday night my sister hosted her annual halloween party. She rents out Roy Rec center and has it there so there is lots of room for fun and games. Me and Cade dressed up as a pregnant nun and he was a priest. We were kind of lame this year but I was limited with being prego and all. Everyone dressed up in the best costumes and we played lots of games. We had a donut eating contest (I chose to opt out of that one), we had a little relay where we had to pinch a penny between our legs while trying to walk and then had to drop it into a pumpkin, we wrapped up a team mate in toilet paper like a mummy, we passed balls to eachother only using our legs. It was a lot of fun, my fam is pretty competitve so the games get kind of crazy. I love Halloween, and am so glad I have these fun traditions with our families. Here are some pics of our fun weekend and if you can't tell Mais is a kitty but its hard to tell because she won't keep her ears on and I didn't get around to painting her wiskers and her nose.

These are the two winners of the costume prizes...

I had to share this pic though because I thought these two were good...

Black Island Farms...

One of my friends invited me to go with their cute family to Black Island Farms last night for family night (unfortunetly Cade had school so he couldn't come). It was so much fun, Mais loved it so much. We went to the courtyard and did the slides and the train ride, Mais is a huge fan of the slides. The hayride was a blast, Mais just held on and looked over the edge the whole time. We also got to pick out pumpkins, what a fun family activity. Hopefully Cade will be able to join us next time. Here are some pics...

Here are some pics and a run down of my girls weekend. We had such a blast, it is always a crazy experience when I get away with all my crazy cousins for the weekend. I love and cherish the memories we are making and can't wait until next year. Here are a few things we did...

*Went shopping at the outlets in Park City
*Told lots of scary stories until we freaked ourselves out to the point of peeing our pants
*Had leg and arm wrestling wars
*Had a dance off
*Ate so much junk food we all thought our stomachs were going to burst
*Watched a scary movie
*Went on a spooky walk through the woods late at night
*Laughed ourselves into convulsions and tears
*Froze my cousin's bra
*Gave pedicures

Here are some pics...
This is me, my mom, and my siter-in-law Amy getting ready to head out:

This is my Aunt Jean... she is nuts and that's why she is so much fun:

This is just a bunch of the girls cuddled up on the couch:

This is my cousin in my other cousin's bra since her's was frozen:

The rest is just us dancing and leg wrestling:
