Almost everyone looking at the camera

It's sad to say, but I don't know how long we have had this tradition, but at least 8 years!! WE have officially DOUBLED in size since we 1st started. How fun though! This year we were lucky to have the Francis family in town and miss them being so close. We started by having the kids make their turkey hats and then on to a traditional turkey dinner, visiting, dessert and then to the photo of everyone.

We were reminiscing on how things have changed since we 1st started doing the dinner. On time with Elaborate table setting with name cards & center piece. Planning a month ahead. Games for adults and visiting until 10:30 at night. Now we are lucky to get there late, but better than never. With all the kids dresses and didn't forget the rolls in the oven at home. Crafts for the kids, dinner with a kids & adult tables & not enough room for everyone to sit down or highchairs. Food thrown, spills and can't hear yourself talk. Words of eat your food, but I want the other person's food. Not enough jello. Toys, toys, and more toys. Fighting over toys, learning to share. Something lost and forgotten. BUT we love it this way, RIGHT?!!

I wouldn't change it!

Thanks for everyone coming!

CRAZY.......

Our Computer got a virus and hasn't been running off and on for weeks. Sorry for not keeping in touch. It's amazing how much we rely on these electronics to work and when they don't it is so frustrating and time consuming

My New Toy...

When I visited California in March my Aunt Connie gave me an HP !PAC. Just like when you are a kid and you get a new toy you hurry home to get things set up and working. Well, I am not very good at techy stuff so It's taken my awhile to get things rolling. Good thing our friend Dustin does this stuff for a living and with a little bribing (BBQ) he brought his family and came over and help me finish getting it to sync. Thanks guys!!!

I am still getting use to doing everything electronic VS paper, but I am going to love it!!!

One of the girls in my massage office, her family runs these hot springs near Sweet, Idaho. The hot spring has been made into a pool and hot tub and it can be reserved for $1.75 per person for 2 hours. Such a fun place with changing rooms & bathrooms. It was a fun afternoon with the Bledsoes & Blads. After we went to Merritt's who are famous for the scones (greasy) which were GREAT, but not the cleanliest place we've ever been. Thanks for making our Saturday sooooo FUN!!

McCall, Idaho

November 9-10, 2007

We had the opportunity to attend a timeshare in McCall, Idaho, Timber Crest. It was beautiful!!! Great weather (It snowed) - Good Friends - Lots of memories!! We have been going to McCall since 2004 with the same group of friends. WOW in four years our family's sure have changed. We look forward to this every year and every year we do a little something different. This year we did a murder mystery thanks to the Bledsoes. Had Internet/computer access thanks to the Blads. And we brought good food. We always have fun with whatever we do!!!

My favorite thing to do is just sit around sipping apple cider and visiting around the fire place.
