Football and Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving festivity started out with the guys playing a little flag football across the street.
They had a really good turnout with friends and family.
Remi and I got all bundled up and went and took some pictures!










Remi's Thanksgiving craft


We cooked up a storm and then headed over to Bonnie and Beaus for a Thanksgiving Feast!

(sorry Bon and Bec, I stole your pics!) :)


It was so beautiful and of course DELICIOUS! 








Sadly, Eli had to go to work at 4pm! Black Friday is slowly turning into Black Thanksgiving and I don't like it! BUT! I am so very thankful that I got to spend most of the day with him. :)

After we ate at Bonnie and Beau's, Eli headed off to work, and I drove out to my family's across town.
We enjoyed lots of yummy pie and dessert while playing games.
I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time (tears rolling down my cheeks!)
My cousins are so much fun to be around and I love them so much.

We have so much to be grateful for, I really don't know where to start. I am thankful to have a wonderful husband and daughter. I am thankful for Eli's job and that I get to be a stay at home mom with my Remi and soon to be baby girl.
I am thankful that we were able to buy a home and have a place to raise our family. 
I am thankful for all of the family we have that is so close (and far) and for all the love and support that we receive from them! They are my best friends!
I am thankful for my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and that I live in a country where I can express that and also teach to my family.
I am thankful that we are a forever family and for the temple that is so near to us. We are so lucky.
There are so many other things, I could go on forever.
I am glad we have this holiday to prepare for the celebration of our Savior and all he has done for us.

Random events of the fall

Picture overload again, but here are some random events of end of summer and fall time!

Here is a cute snow suit and coat I scored for $6 at one of the last garage sales of the summer!
Remi was such a cute little poser for pictures. She kept falling and couldn't get up lol! Can't wait to try it out in the snow!


Lucas and Kennedy came to play and visit. They were cracking me up so much with these balloons in their stomachs! Remi thought it was so weird and silly!


The flu bug, along with many other things, have already hit our house this season! 
This picture is Remi watching what does the fox say after a lonnnggg night of puking! She loves this song and sings along to all the words.




Mommy daughter date to Dickeys BBQ! Their ice cream is delish.

Right before our trip to the fair, we stopped in Pocatello to pick up a phone.
It started raining, more like flooding, in Pokey. Here is Eli, soaking wet, from stepping our for a couple seconds. Our car started to flood in the inside as well because the water was so deep. 
We made it to the fair, but only managed to eat really quick, and walk through the pigs on our way out to car, because it was so wet and cold. 













We had so much fun this fall and enjoyed all the beautiful colors that it brought with it!
I had a lot of photography shoots that kept me plenty busy and Eli went hunting in his new truck (got a deer. YAY!) 

Bring on the snow....and spring and summer as quick as possible!

Halloween and birthday time

We had such a fun Halloween and birthday for me! A couple of days before, we decided to take Remi to the Iona Elementary Carnival.
She was a lady bug, and a very cute one at that!
It was so fun to watch her walk around and play the little games. She got a bucket full of cute little toys and ate too much cotton candy! 
The next day we painted our pumpkins this year instead of carving them. We also used this as a chance to announce BABY #2!!
Due on June 16th :)

On Halloween, the day started off with Eli making me a 
wonderful breakfast before he left for work! He got my a new phone as well :)
Me and Remi had fun playing and getting our costumes ready for trick or treating.

We went over to my parents before the city's trunk or treat and took some fun pictures with our costumes!

Katie and Adrian...Pedro and Deb

Olivia the vampire

Remi was a little hesitant... :) 

Eli and Sav... Power Rangers

And our little Lady bug, Remi!

I really could squeeze the cuteness right out of her!
Watching the excitement in her eyes was the best birthday present EVER.

Mom and dad!

The whole Family, minus Dani :( She had to cheer at a football game that night!

Iona puts on a trunk or treat at the city building each year. Remi was in awe that all she had to do was hold up her bucket and people would just give her candy.
She had plenty of candy by the end, but yummy doughnuts and hot chocolate when we were done!





Here are a few pictures of Remi and Livvy playing in the Halloween decorations.


One day I am going to get a real smile out of this little stinker!


We had a great time trick or treating with Remi. Afterwards, Remi hung out at my parents and Eli took me on a date to Johnny Carinos. Yum!

We are so excited for the new addition to come to our family. 
June, hurry up and get here already! :)
