Thanksgiving weekend

Thanksgiving day we were in Mesquite, NV at my Brothers house. The adults and kids both played basketball, dodgeball, and Kickball. I think all the adults ended up with some type of injury.

What's thanksgiving without a little football! Jonathan and Brianna playing some football in the garage because of the rain.

Abigail getting ready to go pick out a christmas tree in pine valley. She was so excited she couldn't wait.

Alexandrea and Brandon after riding on the 4-wheelers. Aunt Darla told them not to go through the mud. What mud? We didn't go through the mud.


Everyone had a turn to help cut down our Christmas tree. Aubrey loved it she can't wait to go again next year.

Our first REAL Christmas tree. We have always had a fake tree. It smells so good.



Thanks Uncle Duane for taking us on the Rhino, and letting us borrow the trailer for our tree. We decorated the tree on Saturday. We are ready for Christmas.

I went with John on a ride along Saturday night. He took me out to the desert and he let me shoot his AR-15 (rifle) and the .40 caliber hand gun at some cans. I was scared holding a gun. John would tell me what to aim at, I shot and he asked did you see where it hit? I said no my eyes were closed. Once I kept my eyes open I actually could get close to the target. He had his camera and took a picture of me but later that night he arrested two boys with drugs. They had mushrooms, marajuina and LSD on them and they were all in separate baggies and were weighed out ready to sell. He only had one camera card and had to delete me off. He wants to take me out again and get another picture. I can't wait to go again.

Super Fun!! You guys are just livin' it up!

My kids where also really excited to get a tree this year and decorate it. I don't know if it's because they have been seeing Christmas stuff in the stores since September or what but they just can't wait any longer!

Sounds and looks like so much fun. Reminds me of my days growing up. Have fun and enjoy each other,

I think my favorite part of the whole thing was when you said every adult came home with an injury. Isn't that the truth!
