Happy Happy Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving! We like to celebrate in style!


Paying tribute to the pilgrims! My sister Kami and her cute kids ( or maybe just Kami) made our festive hats!


Mike and Hillary!


The little Natives listening to Papa's Thanksgiving address!


Dad still addressing the council.


Looks as if mom was the only one contributing! This picture only mildly displays the chaos at family dinners! I love it!


Some of the boy nephews! Happy Thanksgiving!

Drew Can Dew!

Before Thanksgiving Drew patched spots on my moms ceilings.

Here he is in the basement taking out some Sheetrock damaged by flooding.



And making it a bigger hole. I forgot an after shot but it looks amazing!


And of course the pooches at Sherwin Williams


Caesar looking sad, but really loving every minute because of all the attention he gets.


Cleo refusing a picture as always!



Here he is doing the upstairs ceiling that cracked! This kid can do it all! It's amazing having a handy husband!

Mrs. Meyer's

You know when you find something you love so much, you just want to talk about it to everyone you know. Well I have just the thing. It is my obsession!

Mrs. Meyer's cleaning products, are the best! One of the families I nanny for had the Mrs. Meyer's countertop spray, and I fell in love! It is the geranium scent and it blows my mind!

After running out of my counter top spray I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond af purchased the dish soap, all purpose cleaner and air freshner. They have an assortment of scents, but this is my favorite. Not only does your house smell amazing after you use it, but they are super efficient! They make everything SO clean! That is my obsession of the week!

Ocho's New Glasses!

This is my nephew Ocho, or Owen for the people not in the "circle of trust", ha!

And he sure looks handsome! Chocolate Milk mustache and all! On top of that, he performed in his Primary Talent Show (all by himself) as a mime! Still waiting on the video... Michael! I love this kid!

Laugh Until You Puke... Literally!

This is little Lilly laughing... Proving that you CAN have TOO much fun!

Oh and my sister just emailed me extra Halloween pictures! Can't afford to ever lose these, so will slap 'em up here on the blog. For posterities sake!

Partial family picture! We have a mad scientist, witch, black widow, a swamp thing, skunk, Pippi Long-stockings, witch, gypsy, angel, "the Dream Team", and yet another witch!

Meghan was home for Halloween! Welsley, was out to sea... Bummer! But it was fun to play with Meghan while she was here!

And us again... You just can't get enough!

...Christmas...

I LOVE Christmas! So why wait for December to decorate!

So yesterday as I was finally getting around to taking down the rest of Halloween stuff, I put up Christmas!

This is our Nativity set, which was the first Christmas decoration Drew and I purchased together.

Since turning our living room into the mini North Pole, we have had our iPhones hooked up to speakers, and used the Pandora app to have a constant stream of Christmas playing!

We can't wait for Christmas, and we are off to make a countdown chain... Yes that was Drew's idea!

Happy Fall!

Today is a gorgeous day! It's a day that describes fall!

To make the most of today we (Hank, Lilly, Kate and I) walked to the park.

Super bundled!

Then as everyones noses were redd, we headed home for lunch.

Then to really celebrate fall we played in the leaves. Made "big daddy piles" of leaves and jumped in them.

Then made a fort, the slowly grew into a maze!

Fall is my favorite season ever! I love having a job that let's me full advantage of the seasons!
