Thanksgiving 2011

We had a lovely family dinner here at our home.  My parents came by for a while.




Rachel brought her soy egg nog...eeww

YUM!
We then ventured to Idaho for a thanksgiving dinner with Mark's brothers and their families. Guess I didn't take any pictures!  I think the camera got left on the counter!
JD and his family came to visit from Ohio for a bit.  Can you believe they drove to Utah?! with 5 kids too!  Brave folks!

Happy Birthday Scotty!!

Scotty turned 11 this year!  He's growing up so fast...soon we will have to call him "Scott"! haha


Mark took Scotty and a few of his friends to Boondocks fun center for bowling, arcade, bounce house, and lazer tag!  They had a blast!

Glad we went to the park a few times before this November snow!

Halloween and such

pumpkin goo


We went to a fun "Pumpkin Walk" in Syracuse-the town to the south of us.  They must have had 1000 carved pumpkins!  Quite a sight to see!  Macee especially liked the "Jessie" one since that is what she dressed as for Halloween this year.

gotta love Justin!
this was a really great display of military and patriotic pumpkins.  Amazing!

Scotty stealing all my hot chocolate

Macee was "Belle" for a Halloween party the day before

Jessie!  her favorite!

Jacob the "Ninja"
Whitney was kinda sick for Halloween but she wanted this mask.  creepy, huh

train/trax/train!

We decided to get adventurous the other night.  We took the Frontrunner train to SLC (we've done that before) but then we wanted to take the trax train to Gardner Village which is at 7800S. so we got on trax and took it as far as Murray then switched trax and got on the new line headed west.  It was great fun and quite an experience.(not nearly like New York's subways but still fun!)  It's nice to not worry about parking!  Then we headed back to downtown SLC.  We went to the LDS Church Museum and then to the Gateway to  Clark Planetarium for a  quick look around.  We spent too much time there to catch the 9pm train back to Roy so we went on the 10pm one.  It was a late night but luckily the kids were out of school on fall break.
check out these links to places we visited!

 Church Museum...it's really a neat place...  they have all these interactive areas and things for children and teens to do.  I even put a skirt on and twirled.

Scotty's Rocket Derby and Arrow of Light!

Scotty has been working hard in Cub Scouts.  He earned a lot of the badges (pins) for Webelos and has now earned an Arrow Light.  He had fun and enjoyed learning new things. He will be 11 soon and will move in to Boy Scouts!
