It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We were on the ball this year getting our Christmas decorations up!!  The boys love decorating the tree (even though you can't tell from their fake smiles)!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It was mine and Carin's first year cooking turkey's and I have to say they both turned out pretty good.  Mine was a little dry, but nothing a little gravy couldn't fix!!  We had a great low key Thanksgiving day!

Carin & Amanda making the gravy!

The men carving the bird!

Kids happy to be eating!

Meeting the new addition and kisses!

Lola and Grandpa got to meet Adeline for the first time!  Grandkid #8 for them.

Bridger was having a lot of fun smothering big slobbery kisses on Grandpa!

Adeline Rae Thueson!

Adeline Rae Thueson!  Here's my new niece!  My little brother Mark, and his wifey, Annette, had their first baby this morning!  I think she looks a lot like her Mommy!

Trick or Treat

We had such a fun Halloween!  The kids couldn't get enough of Trick or Treating!  We think they would have gone to every house in the neighborhood if we let them!!  I think we have enough candy to last us more than a year!

Buzz Lightyear!

Bumblebee!  Canon's favorite transformer!

 Obi Wan Kenobi!!

 Queen Frostine, Bumblebee, Buzz Lightyear, Obi Wan Kenobi, Cabbage Patch!

Sleepy little boy

Bridger never takes naps, so when he falls asleep on the couch it is out of the ordinary and picture worthy!!

Plumper Pumpkin Patch

We had a fun time at the pumpkin patch with Todd's Mom and family friends, the Teague family!!
