Happy Thanksgiving to You All!

Trying to get Savana to smile for the camera...not an easy task when she's hungry!
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We got to go to our good friends' Seth and Ruth's house and had a wonderful time meeting some new faces. Before the dinner began, we all went around the table and said what we were thankful for this past year...it was a great way start things off! We had a lot of great eats and treats and the kids all played for hours while the guys enjoyed football and the girls enjoyed chatting. They had just finished remodeling their kitchen the night before and everything looked so perfect. They have a beautiful home and it was so fun to spend the day with everyone there......we missed our own family traditions but we are so excited to be coming at Christmas to see everyone!
Me, Ruth and Savana Rachel, Nevie, Seth and Brittany
Of course Savana put her hand over her mouth right at the last minute...teeth coming soon!

Trip to UTAH! (Long Post)

We had so much fun visiting friends and family in Utah! We went from thing to thing and had a blast! We had yummy eats the entire time, let the kids play every day, multiple Halloween parties, had a fun "just girls" night and got to enjoy some much needed "down time". Thanks to everyone for making this trip such a memorable one! Love you all and can't wait to see you again at Christmas!
Marshall was a cop and loved putting people in jail and reading them their rights!
Savana was a pig-which was perfect since all she does these days is EAT!
We went to a Halloween party at my in laws--so fun to see everyone!

My sister Care challenging me to a race
Yes we had many cuts and scrapes to show how tough we were through the obstacle course!
Natalie, Mistie, Me, Somer and Candace had a great time at Rumbi for lunch---so fun to see all of them and reminisce about good ol' 844 at Utah State!
We had a great lunch after participating in all of the festivites at Gardner Village and couldn't have asked for more perfect weather!
Marshall was so cute with Belle taking her through the petting zoo
The kids loved the petting zoo and Marshall was worried about the giant pig that was laying by the fence. "There's a big pig mom and it's just laying there!"
Thanks again mom for the great tradition of going to Gardner Village--we had soooo much fun with everyone!
Here we are in all our glory for the Halloween party at my moms house
My sister Caroline as a World Series reject, her friend Jen as a pregnant "Jones" girl, and Savana was a pig but had trouble keeping the ears and nose on!
Marshall and Me (Savana was sleeping) Marshall was great at arresting everyone and I was the legendary Zorro for the night!
Grant, Belle, my sister Catherine and her growing belly due in December- Grant was great as "Dwight" from the office and Catherine and Belle were so cute as a witch and kitty cat!
Kylie, My bro Todd, Jordan, McKenlie Dyson and Heather---such a cute wizard of Oz family!
My mom and dad as the cow and balloon man....they originally were supposed to be switched, but my mom about suffocated in the cow costume so good ol' dad stepped in to be the giant cow that kids were afraid of!:)
Marshall and Belle loved trick or treating!
I went over to see Marshall's grandparents and this is Grandma Meier with Savana
And here is just a cute picture of my bro Todd and Savana!
