Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful thanksgiving!!! We spent the day with our second family - our dental school family. A big group of us met at the church and enjoyed lots of yummy food, games, and fun. I want you guys to know that I am sure THANKFUL for YOU!






Our sweet babies are are sure growing up! CRAZY!

Going, Going, GONE!

It was family hair cut day. Malea got a Snow White hair cut chopping off 7 1/2 inches, then mom went a little shorter with more layers in the back, and then Kiah wanted to join the fun and cut off 9 1/2 inches. WOW, our floor was full of hair! No tears yet, but lots of long glances in the mirrors. :-)

Chocolate Anyone?

I don't know why my kids think they can just climb up on the counters and get their own food. It's not like I was even in the shower or something - Joseph and I were both sitting on the couch. WOW.

Don't Mess with a Red Head!

So, we should have been helping Malea instead of taking a picture. But, we couldn't help it! Eva's face says it all "Don't mess with a red head!"

2nd Annual Pie Night

We decided to make our fall pie night a family tradition. We started it last year as a way to get to know the new LDS dental students that started school with Joseph. We had our second pie night this weekend, and it was YUMMY! Thirty plus people, 12 pies and lots of fun! Thanks guys!




Malea looks so innocent - but, the reason Eva has a band aid on her nose is because malea poked her with a fork. Okay, so it wasn't very bad, it was barely bleeding - but, Eva decided that blood meant band aid so she helped herself to the medicine cabinet. Yes, I know very safe. Let's just say we are raising very self-sufficient kids. Those kids crack me up! All in all a very fun night!
