Thanksgiving @ Grammy's

We had a nice Thanksgiving at Grammy's house. On Thanksgiving we had the kids make table decor. These turkeys turned out so cute. Love looking at other blogs and getting great ideas from them.
Jace looks like he if going to throw this at someone.

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.

Fun Weekend with Family

We had a fun crazy weekend with family. First we celebrated Macee's 3rd birthday. She is such a cutie!! We were glad we got to celebrate with her and her family.

Singing happy birthday to Macee. She was takin' it all in.

Then Saturday some of us went to the game. The first half was perfect weather for a football game. My nephew Landon is #78 he is a sophomore.

My nephew Trevor is # 54 he is a senior this year, so his last year to play football.

My niece Heather danced at halftime. They did an awesome job! They looked great! Heather is also a senior.

My sister, Angela and I weathering the storm. We had fun though!

My dad can't quite get enough of high school sports. He LOVES to watch any sport.
Notice the second half of the game was a lot different weather then the first half. It was crazy how the weather changed so quickly.
Way to go Broncos!

Happy Birthday BECKY!

Becky had a great birthday!!
The neighbor girls saw the sign on the door and came up with a little performance for the special day. It was pretty cute! I asked Becky what kind of a cake she wanted this year. Having in mind that I have a coupon for a Cold Stone IceCream cake that I thought we would all enjoy. She told me that she wanted a turkey cake. I told her about the coupon I have to get an ice cream cake, but she could not be persuaded. So a turkey cake it is. I somewhat cheated and just cut the head and tail off a paper turkey we had. It turned out perfect for her. She loved it!!!

Becky has been working on a scarf and hat for herself. She wants to model it on Thursday at Special Needs Mutual for their annual Talent Show. Here is the scarf. It matches her coat great too. She is the looming machine. She has made over 100 items. She even sold a few at work last week. Good goin' Beck! She can whip hats and scarfs out in no time.

Becky got many nice gifts! She was quite spoiled as she should be.
She got a much talked about watch! Happy day!!! Her watch had broke a few weeks ago.

Yay a new shower curtain.

She got a Stan Bronson CD "Stars Over Grayson" from our parents.

Since Beck is the looming machine we gave her some yarn.

Beck was so excited to get a new camera!!! It is just like mine just pink instead of blue.

Becky wanted to go to a movie for her birthday so we headed over to Sticky Foot, which wasn't so sticky and saw "Shorts". It was fair. The kids enjoyed it.

We made a 29 out of the candles. Can you believe my little sister is 29? WOW! I can hardly believe it myself. Wish I looked as young as she does.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKY!! We love you lots!

Blogging All Caught Up!

So over the last week I have been able to get caught up on my blogging. For some reason I do blogging marathons. So I have posted 16 new post in the last week. I just don't want the Grandma's and Grandpa's to miss anything important. I also post date events just to keep it in order for me and the blog book I will some day do. Hope you enjoy!

Squeakin' Strings

David is a member of a Band. His teacher formed the band most for her son, but it also benefits those that she invited to join in the fun. They usually practice once a week for an hour or so. I think it has helped David in many ways other than just playing the guitar better. They performed a while back and have some Christmas gigs lined up too. He thinks it is all pretty fun and wants to play more string instruments because of it. The band is called Squeakin' Strings.

Pumpkins and Halloween

Spencer's, Abi's, William's and David's
Love carving pumpkins!

Dad choice for a carving tool.

The kids love to roast the pumpkins seeds. Thanks to their dad who helps with that! Yum!

The kids ready for Halloween night. David hasn't wanted to dress up the last couple years, but I made him get in the picture anyway, so he decided to be a little person.

Spencer and William with their friends Conner and Hayden. They had a great time trick-or-treating together.
