Happy Thanksgiving!!

Wow, Thanksgiving has come and gone and now it's December! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I love reminding myself through out the month of November what I am thankful for, here are a few:

1. My family. My amazing husband. My beautiful daughter. And for all they do for me to help me be a better wife, mother, daughter, and person.

2. My "other family" ;) My mom, my dad, my siblings, my in laws, my nieces. Family is so wonderful and I love each one of them so much. They are the best family I could ask for!

3. Our baby boy. We have about one month exactly until we get to meet our baby boy. Again, I'll be induced (like with Katelyn) if he doesn't come before then. We are very excited and this last month is going to be very busy with Christmas, Katelyn's birthday, and the birth of our new baby.

4. The Gospel. Since being a mother I have relied on the power of prayer for so many things. I'm so glad I have the knowledge of the Gospel in my life and can use it to know how to raise my children and become a better wife and mother.


This year for Thanksgiving we stayed in Oklahoma again. We rented a cabin awhile ago with a group of friends and so that is how we spent our Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun and nice to be out of the house and internet free, just away from the every day world and enjoy the beautiful outdoors!
It was so beautiful up there. We enjoyed the nature and taking a lot of pictures outside. Katelyn had tons of fun, I think there were like 8 kids total. She had a blast chasing them all around.
Here are some pictures:
 Ready to go outside!
 Having fun with the kids
 Trying to hula hoop.. I tried showing her then realized it doesnt work well with a huge belly.. haha

Turkey balloon hat! One of the husbands does balloon making for a hobby and he made all the little kiddos these cute turkey hats... I was impressed with his patience and the kids attacking him, they loved it!


 Taking a nice trip outdoors
Katelyn with her friend Blake. She has so much fun with him and they play so well together.
