Thanksgiving Talent Show

On Thanksgiving we had a Talent Show. It was very fun. The kids were very excited to share one of their own talents.
KC and Michelle sang a fun song about MILK. Very good KC! Loved it. Abi shared some card tricks. And they were very tricky!
Abi also shared one of her new found talents of making balloons. A kid favorite!
Spencer and William did a fun song. William is behind Spencer with his arms in the sheet as the arms in the dress. He put lipstick on Spence and had him eat a sucker. It is pretty hilarious!
Tim showing off some of Abi's balloon creations.
Jace with a very fancy crown!
David playing his guitar.
Spencer doing a little dance/gymnastics. He has quite the MOVES!
Tim and Abi taking a turn at the sheet talent. It was really funny!!!
The couple I didn't get picture of was Tim singing his very own and very creative version of the 12 days of Christmas, and Jace did a cute little skit about doggy droppings. Grammy also talked to us about some ancestors that had some great talents.
Here are the awards that everyone received.
You all did a great job and we will definitely have to do it again.
David took David and KC to the temple to do baptisms for the dead.
It was a neat experience for them.
We also went out to Green Canyon Springs and swam in the Hot Springs. On our way in we saw this oh so very interesting car. I don't think I have ever seen anything like it.
Somebody has been very creative!
I like the shark fin on top and the teeth on the very front.
Some seriously random things glued to the hood of the car.
This is Abi inside the hot springs pool. It was very warm and they had an even hotter but smaller pool in the other room. We had a good time swimming and playing!

We have the BEST neighbors!!!

A knock on the door and this is what we found sitting there. Very creative!
Before we left out of town we left them a little surprise!
And then . . . . .when we came home from our Thanksgiving our house was decorated with
red and black balloons and red signs.
We have to admit they won with the decorating, but at least our team own the real game!
We like sports and think it is all fun, but we aren't the biggest fans there ever were. It is fun to have good clean fun with the neighbors and we are truly luckily to have the neighbors we do. They are some of our kids best friends and they aren't kids themselves, but they are kids at heart! THANKS for being some of the best neighbors we have!!!!!!

Abi's Midieval Feast

I got to help with Abi's Medieval feast. It was a really fun 6th grade activity and lots of learning in the process.
I was in charge of the decorations for the event. Luckily I had a some other moms to help out. THANKS!!!
We made the brick wall behind the kings and queens.
All the table decor.
Luckily we had some volunteer gourds in the garden this summer so for two years now we are still using these gourds. My husband has promised never to plant them again and it doesn't look like we will have too they will just come up on their own.
This activity was fun they put a doughnut on and string and hung it from the top of the ladder. Then the Knight would ride on his horse, aka cart, and try to put the lance, aka stick, through the center of the doughnut.
It was very good entertainment for the lords and ladies and kings and queens.
Here is Abi our very own Jester! I am not sure that Jesters had balloons in the Medieval times, but she was a great modern day jester!!!
Abi and her teacher.
One of the funniest kids in Abi's class. He made a great Knight!!!
Notice his feather on top of his helmet.
Classic!!!!
Very fun to be part of.
