Meme-Thanksgiving 2009

Here is my grandmother and all her great-grandkids together. She loved having them all this Thanksgiving. If you know me very well you have heard me talk about my Meme. She has always been such an inspiration to me and I have always had such love for her. She has loved a lot and lost a lot but especially had it rough the last few years. I grew up wanting to be like her in a lot of ways. She was a Godly dedicated wife, a content stay at home mother, a wonderful grandmother and a very happy great-grandmother.

She has always loved me deeply and unconditionally. She was one of the best teachers in that and I feel today she is a big part in how I love others. We have always had this special bond and she is one of the favorite pieces of my heart. I love you Meme!

Maybe a Christmas card?

Well we had a great Thanksgiving and much to be thankful for this year once again. We have added 2 more grandkids to my parents Christmas card. Here are a few they have to choose from! (Actually mine don't make the cut-there were others that were way better) But here is a few I took that I thought were more funny than usual. In the first one the big kids are saying "are we done yet?" and the parents are saying "no fake smiles please". And in the second, my personal favorite, is my youngest with his finger in his nose(his new obsession)! Don't think either of these made the cut but they were too funny not to share!

Bike Day

Well the boys found a new favorite thing to do before it got really cold. Carson has loved riding his bike for a long time. We were at Daniels' work one day and Carson saw him ride off on a bike and he said the most funny thing. He said, "Hey mom, look there goes daddy on a bike! I didn't know he could ride a bike!" So for Daniels birthday we got him a bike he had been looking at for a long time. Every night they were going on bike rides and staying gone for long periods of time and Carson would come back and tell me they had gone on an adventure and it was so much fun! He loves that daddy has a bike now! After Daniel got really comfortable riding his bike he decided it was time to add another 30+ lbs to the bike.....





so here is the new addition.... is he not the cutest 2 1/2 year old or what?

Cameron loves to ride with the boys and now it is really hard to leave for that adventure without him!
