So i totally suck at the blogging everyday thing. I am really not even trying anymore. It's this funny thing with Colbie, she will totally be fine playing on the floor with the kids and entertaining herself whenever i need a few mins unless those mins are using the computer. It's like she hates the computer and she knows exactly when i am on it cause she screams like crazy and all the sudden needs extra attention...silly girl!! But we still have been doing our thankful turkey and it's so much fun and i will update on that later when we have a few more to do all at once...ahh much better!!
We went to Utah this past weekend and while we were there we did what EVERY other person in the state of UT did...took some family photos!! I didn't want to post all of them cause then what would the point of a christmas card be but here are some cute ones of the kids!! Thanks Ashlee, i love them!!
What a handsome little man!!


And a cute but super goofy girl!!


Oh how i love my sweet little one. And yes, she is a thumb sucker...little turkey!!!!

day 5 & 6...

Our Thankful turkey had to take a break for a few days we went to Utah for our little nephew Grahms baby blessing so last night when we got home we plucked 2 feathers and the first one said... ''We are Thankful for our Eyes! Watch a fun movie with the family!" We had just bought the kids a new movie and so we sat down as a family and watched a movie and had popcorn!! It was fun to spend that time together!! Then our second feather said... "We are Thankful for our Teeth! Give mom and dad some of your Halloween candy and brush and floss super good!" Brook and I enjoyed the yummy candy!! Now we are almost back on schedule. We will see what we pluck today...

day 4...

Today for our 4th feather we plucked it said "We are thankful for our legs! Go outside and play, run and ride bikes!" We couldn't have plucked that feather on a better day! It was so nice, we rode bikes, played relay games, and enjoyed the beautiful weather and got out all of our energy!! Man, i wish the weather could stay like this all winter! I am definatly thankful for awesome days like today!!

day 3...

Man, i suck!! It's only been 2 days and i miss a day! I was only a slacker on the blog thing we did pluck a feather and did our activity, i just didn't post it so here was yesterday!! We plucked the feather that said "We are thankful for our family! Play fun games together!"So we had tons of fun playing games all afternoon!! I think we played everygame we own at least once! It was fun to take time out of the day, slow down a little and enjoy each other!! I am so thankful to have a supportive husband that works so hard so that i can stay home with my kiddos!!

These two keep my day interesting!!

Today Camden plucked the feather and it said...we are thankful for our HOME. So the kiddos helped me pick up all their toys and we dusted and cleaned a little. We are having so much fun with our thankful feathers!! I think my kids are catching on the whole being thankful thing!! I hope we can keep going strong!!

It's Turkey Time!!

Last year i made this little turkey for the kids but we didn't get to use it tons but this year the kids have really gotten into it. It's a advent calender to count down to Thanksgiving. Every day they get to pluck a feather and on the back says something we are thankful and an activity to do!! It's really fun! So my goal is to post the activity and what we are thankful for, everyday!!

Today the kids plucked the feather that said "We are thankful for Turkeys" so we made our own little art turkeys. I love how Cawa's concentrates so hard when he doing projects, he has been getting into them alot more!!

Camdens finished Turkey. I think she has asked me about 20 times today if we can pluck another feather!!

Cawa's finished turkey!! I love thanksgiving, it is my favorite holiday!! I love turkey but i mostly love all of the Thankfulness that goes around during the holidays!! We will see what tomorrow brings...
