Thanksgiving

This past Thanksgiving, we drove to Utah to spend the holiday with Justin's family. We had a nice visit. We had Thanksgiving dinner at Justin's mom's house. Just the brothers and sisters and their families were there. That was still alot of people! Kathy fed twenty one people Thanksgiving dinner. Tyler and Garrett loved playing with all of their cousins! They miss them the most since we moved to Montana. Tyler and Garrett loved chasing their cousins outside, loved playing football with Braxton, Savanna, and Ashlyn. They loved playing with Steven's gator with Steven and Ethan. They loved hanging out and watching movies with Morgan and McKell.

On Friday, I woke up early and went shopping with the girls. All of us got some great buys! We hit Target, Kohl's, JC Penney's, The Carter's store, and some other stores. We had a good time. Later on that night, we went to Spanish Fork, UT to see their light parade. Justin's cousin Colby and his wife, Dusty, invited us to come and see the lights, have hot coco, and then go to Dusty's parents house for dinner. It was a little chilly out, but it was fun. Tyler and Garrett loved the lights and the hot coco!

We had a nice visit over Thanksgiving. We were able to see some friends we haven't seen since we moved. We were also able to see Justin's dad and step mom. Tyler and Garrett were happy when we were not on the go. Then they were able to play on Steven's gator. They loved that toy! We hope everyone else had a nice Thanksgiving.

Holidays and Family

During this holiday season, we spend time and reflect on our lives. We also love to spend time with family during this season. During Thanksgiving, Aunt Shea and Uncle Tom were able to come to Montana and see everyone. The boys were sooo excited! Tom and Shea were able to arrive earlier than planned due to Shea's work schedule changing. They arrived Tuesday night instead of Wednesday morning. Tyler and Garrett were bouncing off of the walls waiting for their arrival. They love to have people come visit, especially people they have not seen for a while.

Tyler and Garrett were able to spend Wednesday with Tom and Shea before we left for Utah for Thanksgiving. Uncle Tom wrestle with the boys which they love to do. Tyler was excited to go to Staggering Ox for lunch with them. Tyler loves to eat out....I wonder who he sounds like...Justin???? Garrett and Tyler had fun cuddling with Uncle Tom and Aunt Shay while they watched the Disney movie "UP".This Christmas, the boys will not see nearly as many relatives. We will be spending Christmas with Grandma Joni, Grandpa Bill, G.G., and Uncle Mike. Unfortunately, this is my year to work Christmas and Justin is on call over Christmas. Hopefully, Justin will not be called out when I am awake so we can spend a little bit of Christmas together.

We wish everyone a joyous holiday season and hope everyone is able to spend it with their loved ones. Holidays are a time for families to come together for some good, quality time. Happy Holidays!

Them Boots....

On Halloween, the boys got new cowboy boots. I had promised them they could each get a new pair since their old ones were falling apart. Tyler was complaining his toes were hurting every time he wore his boots. Garrett's boots were starting to get a little run down. It doesn't help that my boys wear their boots all of the time. Garrett wore his boots all summer long with his shorts. He made people smile all of the time. Tyler picked out brown boots with a blue top. Tyler's favorite color is blue, but he did not pick out his boots due to the color. He did try on a least 4-5 other pairs of boots before deciding upon this pair. Garrett's boots are similar to his old pair. He tries his boots on and if they fit and he likes them, then he is done shopping. Garrett wanted to wear his new ones out the door.
The boys are very happy with their new boots. Hopefully, we will not have to buy anymore for at least another year. We will see since the boys are growing and getting big.

Halloween Fun

This year for Halloween, Tyler was Optimus Prime and Garrett was Spiderman. They went trick-r treating at G.G's apartment complex and around the neighborhood. G.G. loves it when the boys come to her place to trick-r treat. She always wears her witch hat for the boys. They love to go see her because they know G.G. will give them lots of candy!
The boys made out like bandits this year with the candy. They always get sooo much candy. Justin enjoys helping them eat the candy.
