Having fun with cousins...

Thanksgiving Week

We had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving week. Brian (my brother) and Debbie came with their three kids and we had a wonderful time. We also had Glen (other brother) and Bekah here for a day. I know I haven't been posting a picture daily as I wanted to, but I'm not giving up! : )

We have SOOO many blessing to be thankful for, and all of our family and friends are at the top of the list!

Unfortunely we didn't take a picture of our Thanksgiving feast, but I'll be posting a few pictures of what we did during the week. Today's pictures are of a hike to Charleston Fall. It was a beautiful day and we had a fun time because Brian and Debbie taught us how to geo-cache. (You use GPS to search for "treasure" that people have planted for you to find. The kids loved it!)

Handsome boy!

Is this a handsome kid or what? This picture was taken this summer when we were on our trip to see family in Idaho/Utah. Okay, I know I haven't been posting a picture a day--but I'm going to keep trying! So keep checking, grandparents. : )

Hunter knows...

nose,
belly,ear,

foot,
Okay, he knows a lot more than that. : ) But I thought these were fun pictures. I LOVE the stage that he's in right now, wish I could freeze his adorable little cuddly self here forever. He is now trying to repeat words after us and I love that!

St. Jude's Trike-athon at Preschool

It was a fun day at preschool for Benjamin. They had a "trike-athon" to earn money for St. Jude's hospital. Benjamin rode over 60 laps!!! It made me dizzy just watching him. : ) He had a lot of fun and it was really cute to see the kids working hard to ride their bikes/trikes/scooters. And, of course, Hunter wanted to be a part of the action. : )

We had such a great afternoon a few days ago. We went to a park where Benjamin could ride his bike around a trail, but we got derailed at the baseball diamond. I should have known it would be the fun place, since it's dirt. We played there for an hour, rolling a golf ball to see how far we could make it go and using a stick to make an X in the dirt where it landed. The last picture here is of Benjamin's dinosaur footprints. Both of the boys had a lot of fun (so did I) and it was a great reminder of life's simple pleasures.
