Trying to catch up with life!!

It has been several months since I last posted and it amazes me how fast time flies. In that time since the kids started school, we have have some birthdays, holidays, and especially the BIG ones, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years!!! What a wonderful time of the year it has been. Life has been good, the kids have been mostly healthy and happy to be back in school and playing with their friends. They learn so much every day and it excites me to get to see their growth!
We have spent many afternoons and Saturdays playing at the Lake. Since it is still so hot through October, the water stays warm as well and it makes for some wonderful after school trips to find seashells and all kinds of little trinkets and treasures on the beach. Glass, bottle caps, and garbage always make for good treasures. I always have to pack them on the boat and bring them back home. Then while the kids are sleeping I have to deposit all the junk/treasure into the circular Treasure box outside!! :) Then the next time at the Lake they get to do it allll over again. What a party!!

Thanksgiving was soooo much fun. We stayed here in Arizona, but got to spend Thanksgiving Day with our wonderful friends the Dana's. Matt and Nancy and their kids Rochelle and her husband Jimmy Lindblom, Kyndall and her husband Bryan, Rylus and his wife Molly, Zach and his girlfriend Lilly, and Alisha and her boyfriend Parker. What a great group of people. Along with that we were there with a lot of the Dana extended family. About 50 in all and what a blast it was. The kids love to be with their Arizona Grandma and Grandpa and Aunts and Uncle's. It is so fantastic to have such kind, generous friends to spend Thanksgiving with. One of the highlights was Grandpa Matt's horse and cow train. The kids could not get enough rides around the yard. The food, well, the food was FANTASTIC!!!
Pictures to follow!!
