About 7 years ago we started a tradition with our friends. We have Thanksgiving dinner with them the Saturday before Thanksgiving. It's been the same 5 couples the whole 7 years. We had dinner last Sat. and this year it was at George & Melinda's house. We go to different houses every year. It's been a really fun tradition!

Brinley June was born Nov. 25, 2004 at 11:19 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day. She was 5 lbs 8 oz & 18 3/4 inches. My labor with her was very easy. She came really fast. She actually tried coming when I was 26 weeks, but somehow I held her in until 34 weeks. Brinley has always been very shy & quiet. Even when I was pregnant with her she would bearly even move. She can be bratty like every kid can, but she is really a big sweetheart. She is one of my little best friends. We are always together. When I leave somewhere she always thinks she has to go with me and if she isn't going she acts like she will not be able to function without me. Sometimes I go crazy, but I know some day when she doesn't want to be with me I'll wish for these days back!!

Brinley loves being with Alex (even though they fight). She adores Chesnie and she loves being with friends & cousins, she calls them her Girls. She's shy, but a social butterfly at the same time!!
Last Saturday night we went to Emree's Pajama birthday party. It was alot of fun! They ate junk, watched Tinkerbell, did makeup & nails & just did a bunch of girly stuff!!!!!!
Drake even joined in on the makeup!
Chesnie & Ainzlee
Payton got really into Tinkerbell!!! 
They ended the party with dancing & singing! Just doing what girls do best!!!
On Friday night for our anniversary Luke & I went to Park City. We first went to dinner at a really good restaurant called Grub Steak. Then we stayed over night at a hotel called The Peaks. It was really nice to getaway and just be us for a night! It was so much fun!!! It has been a long time since we've gone somewhere without our kids. Thanks to Luke's mom we got to go, if it wasn't for her staying with our kids we would not have been able to go!!! I think everybody needs a break sometimes!

Today is my oldest nephew Dustin's 21st Birthday! He will actually not be able to read this because he is serving a mission right now in Spain. He will be coming home in May. I just wanted to wish him a Happy Birthday & just to recognize him today! He is such a cute, sweet guy & I love him very much. I'm very proud of him! We all miss him & can't wait to see him soon! These are some pictures that he sent from Spain. He went to a place where there was monkeys! He is sharing the gospel with everyone & everything!!
Chesnie is really getting to big to fast! She is already 4 1/2 months. I took her on Tuesday to her 4 month check up and the doctor couldn't believe how big she is. She is at a really fun stage right now too. She plays with her little toys and smiles at everything. I love her to death!!
Chesnie loves bath time. She's a little fish!!
Last week was pretty much a week of Halloween! On Tuesday I took the kids to our Ward trunk or treat & party. On Thursday Brinley had her little party at preschool. Then Friday we went over with Elise and her family to her friend Tina's for dinner & trick-or-treating. It was a fun Halloween week. I'm glad we had alot to do cuz Luke was in Oklahoma for a week roping. It made the time fly!!
Brinley was a beautiful Bride
Hallie was a really cute witch. I got a close up of her face to show how cute her makeup was!
