Happy Thanksgiving

We are so grateful for so many things this years. Life is good. We love you all. Happy Thanksgiving from one turkey to another.

Good Time

It has been awhile since I have been to a bridal shower. My friend Annette McKean is getting married on my birthday. I guess I will always remember her anniversary. Anyways, I met her at State Trailer years ago and she was always running late and wrapping presents up in the office. Her bridal shower was tonight and I was running late so I just put her gift in a box. My mother in-law said don't you think you should put a bow or something on it. I said no this fit her to a T. At the shower she came to my gift and I reminded her of all the times she was running late and wrapping presents on the fly. She pretend like she didn't remember but she did. In addition, when we were playing one of the games she drew my number and I won. I ended up with a gift that had been wrapped on the fly. Appropriate don't you think.

Moving

We will be moving next Friday. I will be sending an email out shortly with all the detail. It is a cute apartment around the corner from my in-laws and across the street from the ward house. Who could ask for anything more.

Put Your Hands Up

Many of you know that David works downtown at night. Well last night apparently he robbed a 7-11 and took beer and cigarettes. He was coming home from work and on the scanner he heard that a 7-11 had just been robbed at gun point. The description over the scanner was a white male, light brown hair, between 38 and 45, dark clothes, goatee, heavy set. He thought that sounds like me. He was going down State Street and a cop passed him and took a double take. David thought oh no here we go. The lights came on and the next thing David knew he was getting patted down, cuffed and kneeling on the ground. Another cop showed up with a dog and they searched the KIA. They took David's wallet out and ran his ID and guess what? Started apologizing for the inconvenience. Luckily, David knew what was going down and he had done nothing wrong. Next time he's going to rob the 7-11 at least he could take something good.

Makenna's New Talent

Makenna has learned to slide on her knee on Grandma wood floor. She told me watch this mommy this is cool. I don't know if she learned this on accident or on purpose but, it is sure fun to watch.

Who's in the Bathroom

Funny story. We were in bed last night and David heard someone in the bathroom. So, he got the flashlight to go check out who it was. (My in-laws are out of town so no one should be in there.) It was Makenna. It never even occurred to him that she might be using the bathroom in the middle of the night. She always wakes one of us up to help her. Where was I through all the drama? Fast asleep in bed. Never even heard her. Very unusual for me. I am glad that she is trying to go by herself. I do love my sleep. I am glad that my big strong hero was going to protect us.

Take A Bow

Makenna had her first Primary Program today. She did great. She memorized her line and got up and said it with no problems. What a natural. She also sang I am a Child of God with her class. I couldn't see her though because the music director was standing right in front of her. I could see her lips moving so I know she was singing. Thank you to Grandma Helen, Grandpa Charles, Jeremy and Jessica for coming to see her. A little child shall lead the way and today she did. My heart is fill with joy.

Stopped by and Stayed a While

We had the rare treat of having Uncle Daniel, Aunt Sara and baby Cayson stop by on Thursday. We had a great time hanging out. Cayson is getting so big. He is a charmer. I am in love. Grandma Helen got to come also. We were all excited to see everyone. Thanks for stopping by and please come again soon. ;p

Makenna to the Rescue

I came home from work on Monday and the house was wide open. Now usually the garage is open but the front door was wide open too including the screen door. I thought that this was a bit unusual. When I got inside my mother-in-law explained what was going on. She had turned on the wrong burner and the crock pot was on it. The legs of the crock pot melted. Makenna saw the smoke and started yelling daddy daddy smoke smoke and ran for the door. Where she learned this I am not sure. How grateful I am that no one was hurt. Well the crock pot is resting in peace, but thank goodness nothing that wasn't replaceable was hurt. It is amazing how little ones pick up things without you even realizing it.
