Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We went to Boyd and Cids and visted with family, Jer, Jen, Luke, Seth, Tammy, Richard, Britini, Kelli, Grandma Elwell and Grandpa Elwell. Lots of yummy food and fun company watch everybody jam on Rock Band. I do need to set the record on the Black Friday. Yes I wanted to go to Kohl's no Michell did not have to come at 2 am she could have met me later. I went with Michelle Nate, And my sisters Jamie, Stacy, and Heather. It was fun to watch them really get into the whole thing. Jamie was the funnest she was running and climbing under people legs thankfully she did not get hurt. For someone who it tiny there is no fear in her. I am so thankful a wonderful family and the gospel in our lives. Hope all have great holidays.

Moments

OK I had a new moments yesterday. After church and dinner we all went down for a nap YES! We received a phone call from a friend saying something was happening in our ward so We got up looked outside. There was a cop car at TJ grandparents house TJ grabbed shoes and left I was watching wondering and watching for someone to come tell me what was going on. TJ came home looked kinda shell shocked and said that grandpa had died from falling down some celler stairs. I looked and said he's not suppose to go down there but grandpa has a mind of his own he said find someone for the girls and come down. I called my mom and then proceed to get ready to walk over. The moment was this K'Lee looked at me and said mom it's ok Jesus is taking care of grandpa and someday we will get to see him again ok thats when I was so grateful for the gospel and the teaching of it. She is such a comfort for me. Even when I think she's not listening she is and it is actually sticking in that little girls head. I know we will miss him but at the same time a comfort to know that he is ok and I have K'Lee to remind me of that.

Phoenix

For TJ Birthday and My Birthday we went on a fun trip to the sunny state of Arizona Phoenix to be exact. Any one jealous yet due to the weather was hot and sunny. On Sunday off the the NASCAR races that TJ loves to watch that is my nap time. That was a fun filled day but sorry TJ it did get a little long. IT was HOLY COW LOUD During that day we received a sunburn, rain and wind. We wore redneck headphone to help with the noise and hear the crew chief and drivers talk to one another on scanners. We were able to visit with friends Shannon and Kim and their son Reilly fun to catch up and good times and what they have been doing the last little while. Monday my birthday we went shopping sacs fifth avenue holy crap pricey but hey I can say walked though the store.The Cheesecake factory for dinner yummy and of course cheesecake for dessert. We stayed at a hotel with a complementary upgrade suite with a private hot tub oh la la. It was a fun filled trip. We missed the kids like crazy but fun to reconnect with the handsome hubby.

K'Lee won the costume contest for her age group and received a trick or treat pumpkin she thought that was pretty cool. They made a haul with lots and lots of candy.
