1st Annual Thanksgiving Trot

This morning Allie, Katelynn and I participated in our High School Cross County Thanksgiving Run/Walk. You could walk or run 2 or 3 miles. Unfortunately, when we woke up the ground was white with snow and very cold, but that did not stop us. Katelynn found a friend from school to walk with so Allie and I walked together. We decided to do 2 miles and when we got back to the school we waited and waited for Katelynn to show up and come to find out they decided to walk the 3 miles. We had a fun time and now have shirts to prove it. We just might make this a tradition for Thanksgiving morning and get the whole family to join us.

Daniel the Cook

Daniel wanted to make his eggs by himself. He did pretty good.

Halloween Costumes

Allison is a mummy with pony tails.

Daniel is a dinosaur.

Here are Allie and Daniel in their costumes this year. Matt helped pass out candy but didn't want to dress up and Katelynn got to spend the weekend with Grandma Nona working on some family history together in Pasco.

WHOLE MILK!!!

I took a short trip. Flew to Salt Lake City, caravaned with some of my family to Denver for my Grandmother's Memorial. All of my siblings and parents were able to be there, which hasn't happened since a wedding many years ago. It was great to be together. A very short trip but worth all the driving and flying required.

Ben was able to keep the fort down just fine and was able to keep all the kids going where they needed to be. He is a great man and was able to handle getting the house ready for a showing 2 people, getting Allie off to a party(including buying the present), having a vacuum blow up just before the realtor was coming, getting kids to and from school and all the other things to take care of the house. He is amazing, but I am sure he is not letting me leave anytime soon.
