Happy Thanksgiving!

We had such a fun Thanksgiving with the family! Everyone pitched in and made a really great meal.









The men relaxed and watched football...or just relaxed.

We ate in Lee and Tricia's amazing new kitchen, large enough to fit 3 tables with room to spare. I forgot to take a picture of the adult table, but you get the picture. Here is also a picture of the meal. I know you're curious... we ate TURKEY.

Weird Family

I came home from Thanksgiving Dinner and found that someone had taken some creepy, scary pictures while we were at Lee's house.

Steve Tagged!

Steve was tagged by mom, here goes, 7 things you may not know about him... in his own words.

1. I told Tracy I was going into politics, and ended up being a janitor.

2. I used to have a mullett.

3. I sang in church with my brothers...once. We ended up laughing and were never asked again.

4. I got the tip of my finger cut off. I was looking out of the upstairs window at a couple of girls, trying to show off, and the window fell down and cut it right off. I went down to tell my mom, and she went into shock and told me to march right back upstairs and find my finger!

5. I was in a priesthood ordination when President Faust (Elder Faust at the time), gave the priesthood to someone. I didn't know at the time that he was an apostle, I just remember feeling what a powerful man he was. I later found out that he was an apostle.

6. I used to ride my bike to school from Kaysville to Woods Cross, then to work (Farmington) and back home. I did this every day for 3 months.

7. I lost my driver's license before my mission (too many tickets). I went to talk to the probation officer before my mission and found out that he had a son going to the same mission as me. After my mission I went with my dad to buy a car. They looked up my record to see how many tickets I had had in the last 3 years and it came up 0. The probation officer had cleared my whole record.

TAGGED

Seven facts about me... don't know if they are interresting, or little known, but here goes!

1. I love to find out how things work and repair them. I know this drives repair men, mechanics, and plumbers crazy, but I watch them work the entire time they are here, and I ask them any question that pops into my head. I had a 15 year old boy come over to work on a 4 wheeler, and he kept saying I didn't have to stay, he knew what he was doing. After about 30 minutes, I decided he was really uncomfortable with me there watching, so I left. I think I would have enjoyed auto shop, wood shop, work as an electrician, etc.

2. Steve helped me with this one, I get really crazy sometimes. He says that doesn't give you the full effect... I get boarderline psychotic! I get so crazy, funny, out of control that I give myself headaches sometimes. Dancing out of control, Singing opera at the top of my lungs, trying to see the highest note on the scale I can reach by screaming my lungs out, Cranking the hard rock scary music in my car as loud as it will go and head banging with my windows down all the way home. I have issues.

3. I was a gymnast when I was younger. I could do back flips, and front flips on the ground, and I spent almost every day on my friends trampoline doing back flips, and front flips. I can't even jump on the trampoline anymore without getting dizzy and scared.

4. Now that I'm in school, I am finding out that the human body is so interresting. I absolutely love learning about anatomy and physiology. I come home and tell Steve, "I can't believe I didn't know this for 37 years, it makes so much sense!" But I hate chemistry, I dread chemistry labs & I dread chemistry lectures.

5. I am a very careful driver. I have had a driver's license for 21 years and have never had a speeding ticket. I have only been pulled over 1 time. However, I have been in 3 accidents. For some reason people like to run into me.

6. I am petrified of mice, call it trauma in my childhood, or whatever. I have no fear of spiders, or other bugs, but if a mouse runs past me, I break out in a cold sweat, and my heart starts pounding, I have screamed several times.

7. I have started collecting nativity sets. I have started going to an event in Midway every year where the LDS church fills every room, including the gym, chapel, and even the high council room with nativities from all over the world. It is so neat to see, so I decided that every trip I go on, I'd like to see if I can find a nativity from that area.

I tag Molly, and mom, sorry, my only blogger friends are my family! Have fun, the rules are post seven interesting things about you, tag 7 more people and let those who you tagged know by commenting on their blog. I hope this is easier for you than it was for me. Thanks Kim and Casi... I owe you one!

Scary Halloween Slide Show

STATE CHAMPS!!








Conner had his state finals today in Salt Lake City. They played against Woods Cross. Conner's team has won all 12 games they have played, there was only 1 touchdown made by another team, and that was the first game. They won the State Championships today 24-0. When the boys got back to Grantsville there were 2 firetrucks decorated that they climbed on and got to ride all through town with the sirens going. I think this was a GREAT day for Conner.

Cruisin'











We just got back yesterday from our vacation. We took a 5 day cruise to Mexico. Just wanted to let everyone we went with to know we really enjoyed the time we spent with you! What a blast! We went to the Mayan Ruins of Chichen Itza, and took a jeep tour of Cozumel where we went snorkeling and had an authentic Mexican lunch on the beach. I found out first hand how fun it is to sleep in the same room with dad! Learned that subconsciously Jamie chases large bald African American men. And now I'm just trying to get my land legs back. I will post most of my pictures on Flickr, but wanted to show you a few.
