Grace and her soccer

Grace is 6 and a soccer rockstar!!!!!!! She had a game on the Saturday we were there. Here she is in action:

The cheering squad:

Jena showing off her missing front tooth!

Grandpa and one of his besties Kayla:

Shay Shay:

Monica looking exactly like what a 12 year old big sister watching her little sister playing soccer should look like!

Liam parked it on Aunt Meagan's lap for awhile, hoping to feel that baby kick him in the head perhaps?!

A Family Affair

Thanksgiving weekend was really fun. My kids had a really, really good time! They LOVED playing with their cousins and being outside. Here is some of what we did in random order, sorry there were too many pictures for me to try and have them make sense!

For starters. The night before we left I made ginger cookies (which I then forgot to bring) and the twins were having fun on the sugar rush!

This was taken right before we left....this girl has become a clothes hoarder! She is always carrying piles of clothes around and she tries so hard to snap all the buttons together on Annie's pjs! One day she will figure it out and we may just throw a snap closing party!!

Kayla was so cute swinging back and forth while playing the piano with Shay and Liam!

Mark and Mommy eating Ketchup chips, his first time and he loved them!

Grandma T and Elizabeth are truly best buds...my mom says it's the name thing but she sure does love her!! It may also be due to the fact that she is giving her Smarties...

Before I forget, Elizabeth got a fat lip on Mark's watch! I left him to watch the twins while I went shopping (totally awesome for me) and while on the trampoline she tried to get off and fell or was bounced and hit her lip on the metal spring!!!! My poor baby girl, just more proof that they are too little for us to be buying a trampoline!

Girls hanging out.

Monica is freakishly flexible, which is what makes her such a good dancer I suppose!

Then there were babies sleeping after turkey:

Not mine though...she wanted to sleep but was way too interested in all that was going on! Her and Daddy look like they are ready for a nap here!! I love how their bodies and faces are exactly the same!

MarkMark meeting his buddy Comet:

And then stealing his cousin Micah's hat and walking around like he was just as cool as him!

It slowly made it's way to the back!

Beautiful girls going to church!

Saying good bye to Grandma and Grandpa:(

Canadian Thanksgiving 2011

Last weekend we made the drive over to Matt's for Thanksgiving!! It was me, Meagan, Matt, Jake and Mom and Dad. And.....10.5 kids running around! It was a lot of fun. Thanks for hosting again Karrie (like you have much choice:), the food was SO GOOD!!!!!!!

The spread:

Liam waiting for food:

And Gracey too:

And MarkMark:

With all the excitement and anticipation of dinner you would think that maybe my kids would eat a lot..but no! Crazy toddlers only ate rolls and corn...they wouldn't even try anything else!

Then we celebrated 3 birthdays:

My Mom (aka Mama):

Jake (aka Gake):

And Dad (aka Papa):

Then there were a few presents, with a hilarious last minute 'wrapping' job by Karrie! It was then reused for it's actual purpose (a baby present for little T:)

And Dad guessed his gift from me before opening it, I'm only predictable when it comes to him!!

Then he got to relax with Annie and watch BYU play football!

I'm surprised Annie wasn't crying in protest, just goes to show how good of a baby she really is!!!
