Thanksgiving

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and it was a really fun day. We got to sleep in until 9 which is a rare treat, it felt really good! We visited my dad at my Grandma Jones' and then we had dinner at my Grandma Barker's with the rest of my family. It was really fun and we ate a lot of really yummy food! I got to hold Noah and Asher, both of which are getting so big already. Noah seems so much more alert and like he wants to smile already. Asher is talking and actually likes me to hold him and play with him now instead of always wanting his mom.

I got to talk with mostly all of my brothers and sisters and that is always nice. Caleb had a football tournament this weekend and won his first game in the tournament yesterday. I got to help Cache pass off some scout stuff and that was a lot of fun! Crystal and I planned a sleepover at my house next weekend. Jordan is busy dating new girls and has decided to move in with my dad instead of staying with his freinds which is a very good choice. :) Everyone else seems really good!

Kip went duck hunting this morning at 4:00 AM and I missed him tons! He came home with 3 nice ducks but said it was the coldest hunt he's been on in awhile and thinks it will be his last this season. We ate the duck for dinner tonight but it wasn't very good, I guess I'm not much of a duck person.

Duck hunting and Baby Noah

Kip went duck hunting with his cousin James awhile ago but we hadn't seen the pictures from the hunt. Kip just got them and wanted to post them. There is a picture of Kip and one of his cousin James' dog, Sadie. Kip thinks that she was one of the most amazing dogs and very beautiful!

As you know little Noah was born last Friday early in the morning so I am posting a picture of him while at the hospital visitng. He is so freakin cute!

It's finally baby time.....

I got a call from an excited Cassie today at around 4:30 saying she was going to be induced tonight at 5:30. So I rushed to call Cassie and rushed home to fix Kip dinner then rushed to the hospital. Here we are at 11:30 Pm and she is has just gotten her epidural and is hopefully going to have him soon. It's hard to see her in so much pain but is so exciting because a new little one will be here soon! While Cassie was getting her epidural I walked down to the nursery and saw cute little baby twin girls, just born one with blond hair and one with dark hair. They were so cute!!

Basketball and horses

Here are some pictures of Kip playing basketball and playing with the horses. We bought a basketball a couple of weeks ago and now Kip is able to play anytime, he loves it! The horses are Burke's horses but they live in our backyard so we go visit them once in awhile. It's really fun having them in our backyard since we get to see more of Burke's family!

November here we come

I can't believe it's already November but I am so excited! I swear I never thought it would come since Cassie and Kevin (my sister and her husband) told me they were due in November. I have been waiting and waiting to see their new little one but he still isn't here yet, his due date is November 6, 2008. Maybe I'm a little anxious but I just can't wait. Hopefully he'll come tomorrow because I am so excited to meet him!

Halloween was last weekend and it was a really nice night. Kip and I picked up Cassie and we all went to dinner since her husband was working he couldn't come. (: While driving to dinner we saw my little brother Jordan and stopped to talk to him which was good because it's a rare occasion to see him. After dinner we went to the grand parent's and my mom's to visit everyone. Aidan and Asher were so cute in their costumes and I loved getting to hang out with them for awhile( I think their mom liked it too since their dad had been working and she was tired).

Christmas is just around the corner and I have to admit October, November, December and January are some of my most favorite months of the year. I love the meaning and feeling Christmas brings and especially the family parties! I love shopping and with Christmas comes shopping so it makes me really happy! I admit I've already started but will hopefully finish in the coming weeks. Happy shopping everyone!

The big buck

Here is a picture of Kip's first buck and he is a nice one!

Sunny Sunday...My favorite

On Sunday we had the funnest day! Kip and I had the opportunity to watch Aidan and Cache in the primary programs at church. They did so good and it was so much fun to watch them say their parts! After church we went to my mom's house for dinner, it was so loud cuz all of us kids were there but so much fun at the same time. We went to Grandma Jones' after dinner to visit her and we all sat around and talked which was really nice. After Grandma's we got to go to family home evening at Tami and Tim's which was another crazy experiance but one that I loved! We all got together to plan Cassie's baby shower and Brooke's bridal shower and it was a lot of fun. We missed Megan and Amy but it was still good to visit with everyone. I love Sunday's and all that they bring church, soft Sunday sounds, family, relaxing and visiting. Some of my favorite things!
