Thanksgiving in Tremonton

We went to Tremonton, Utah for Thanksgiving this year. All of Brian's sister's and their families were able to come this year..which was awesome. We had a yummy Thanksgiving dinner and lots of yummy leftovers. All us girls went shopping on Friday, what a fun time! On Saturday night we had an ethnic dinner, all the boys had to cook a meal from their mission. We had strogonoff from Brazil, okie something from Japan, meat pie from Canada, and crepes from France. More yummy food. We took a few family pics before dinner. We packed up and headed out that night and now we are back at Home Sweet Home.

and the winner is..

Brooke and Derek..duh! Lancey came in 3rd:(

ps. Speidi's marriage in Cabo was reportedly only symbolic and not legally binding.

Phew!

and my vote goes to..

Lance and Lacey for Dancing with the Stars Season 7 champs..GO LANCEY!

Speidi

Heidi and Spencer got married this week! What the H? I can't believe she is such a fool! I give them 2 years if she doesn't come to her senses and get an anullment this week. He is such a jerkface and he totally creeps me out!

Twilight Midnight Showing

Of coarse I went to the Twilight midnight showing. And oh how I love Edward Cullen.

I looooved the movie. It was perfect. It's so refreshing when a book's characters that you've imagined totally match in a movie.

I had a good time going out to dinner, waiting outside in the freezing cold for a good 45 minutes, and waiting in the theatre for 1 1/2 hours for the movie to start. Edwards had 13 theatres sold out. We were in theatre #4 and pretty close to the last to get seated. It was sooo worth it though.

I was on the end of our group and got stuck with a freak sitting beside me on the other side. She was wearing a full on wolf costume head and huge furry paws. Scary. Luckily the movie peeps made her take it off, but she still kept on her paws and they kept touching my drink. I was spazzing out I will admit. Luckily as soon as I saw Edward, all was forgotten.

And sorry there are no pictures, I didn't have my camera:(

Festival of Trees Dance

Katie Beth had her first perfomance last night. It was at the festival of trees.

The first dance they danced to "my baby bumblebee". She is the second from the right. She only moved twice during the whole dance.

The second one they put jingle bells on their wrists and ankles and did a Christmas song. Katie Beth actually semi-participated in this one. She is third from the right.

She will do her dance at home but never at dance. She loves going and thinks she is "beuuuutiful"!

Check Ups

The kids went in for their check ups last week and this is the down low:

Katie Beth:

Weighs 30 pounds which puts here in the 50th percentile for weight

Is 38 inches tall which equates to the 75th percentile for height

She is doing excellent since her failure to thrive issues from a year ago.

She got a flu mist and 1 shot..and she only whimpered because she wanted a band-aid and didn't realize they had already put it on her leg.

Kailer:

Weighs in at a whopping 56 pounds..which is off the charts.

Is 47 inches tall..which is also off the charts.

Poor guy can't even be charted..we are guessing he is in maybe the 175th percentile. This is however just a guess:)

He had to get 6 shots..so sad. He cried from shot 2 until shot 6, which was only about 20 seconds. I think he was scared we would just keep sticking him for the rest of his life.

Doctor Smith said his tonsils are the size of golf balls and have to come out soon. He is a heavy snorer and Doctor Smith is worried it is going to cause irreversible hypertension. Who knew snoring in a 4 year old could be so bad? They are guessing he wakes up over 300 times a night because his snoring is causing sleep apnea.

Crazy Hair Day

Thursday was crazy hair day for circus week at preschool.

Barack the Vote

Brian was able to get up and vote early so he only had like half an hour wait. Me on the other hand-over two hours. I didn't go until 7PM and finished a little after 9PM. The first thing I heard when I turned on the car.."Barack Hussein Obama is the 44th President of the United States". Poopy.

Trick or Treat

We had a fabulously spooky night trick or treating. The kids filled up their buckets after just half of our street. Then we went trick or treating at the Gordon's since that's all the kids would talk about for a month, "can we go trick or treat at Lily and Josh's?". We hung out there for a while and then came home to go to bed. What a night.
