Birthdays!

Tonight we had cake and ice cream at our house to celebrate Dave, Jack & Lydia and Amy's birthdays.


The Trees are Up!

We got all the Christmas decorations out over the weekend. The boys have their own Christmas tree in the dining room with the kids decorations on it.


And we have the fancy tree set up in the family room, where Kyle can be gated out of the room. :)

BYU vs. Utah - The Holy War

This was us last year on the day of the big BYU vs. Utah football game. A Family Divided! But at least it was sort of fair. This year was another story.


Brandon has been thoroughly corrupted by Dave and was dead set on wearing his red Utah sweatshirt this morning. Eric wanted to be on the "blue team" with me this morning and got on a blue shirt. Kyle of course is subject to his mommy's choices since I am the one who dressed him this morning. Well, once Dave got home from basketball this morning and saw two of his little minions dressed in blue he began brainwashing Eric and after that he could not be swayed to rejoin the blue team. He even went to 2 stores today trying to find U shirts in the kids sizes.

So now all my children have been turned against me. Needless to say ... Dave was loving it!

BUT I will just say one thing ... only one of us ended up on the winning side today! :)

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Birthday Dave!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We had a really nice Thanksgiving this year with Dave's family. Everyone was there with the exception of Brian and his family (we missed you guys). Chris always puts on a wonderful spread and there was so much delicious food.

It was also Dave's 34th birthday today. I got him a Blu-Ray player for his birthday so that should make a nice addition to our theatre room. Happy Birthday honey! I love you!

Kyle loves broccoli but as an added bonus, someone gave him some broccoli with ranch on it and he found that licking the ranch off the broccoli was even better! :)

Grandpa Clark took all the big boys to the park after lunch (thank you thank you thank you) so they were out having a great time for awhile this afternoon while the adults and babies hung out and watched football and visited. Kyle loved having mommy & daddy all to himself!

We didn't take a ton of pictures today but I am sure that over the upcoming month we will have plenty of pictures to share. Hope everyone had a really nice Thankgiving.
