Thanksgiving is Almost Here!

Well today is a BIG day. Nolan turns 28 today and we aren't celebrating too fun. We leave for a 2,000 mile road trip in about 3 hours so we'll be driving for most of it. I got him a tent he's been really wanting and gave it to him earlier so we kid of celebrated Wednesday. I love you babe! Thanks for all your hard work and willingness to be home so much. I am one lucky lady. Happy birthday!

So here's hoping these two are well behaved for the road trip! We're going to San Fransisco for a week, then to Malta, and lastly Boise. We're staying with Nolans sister in CA and are really excited to spend time with them. Nolan has a conference during that time too so it worked out. My sister is in Labor and Delivery right now so we should be hearing news of a baby arrival today hopefully. We'll be able to meet her little baby while we are in Boise for Thanksgiving. Can't wait!

So if I don't get a chance to blog while we're gone, we'll be back in 2 weeks. To hold you over to then here are our family pictures we took at Pioneer park last week. We just went and took them with another family in our ward. We're happy how they turned out. Thomas was the biggest challenge. Bribery was the only way to get him to look at the camera.

I was too lazy to upload these big, but hopefully you can still see them. They seem so small now than using photo bucket. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving Break.

I keep going back to all the pictures because I LOVE THEM!! Good luck on the roadtrip--I guess if you just have really low expectations for child behavior you'll be pleasantly surprised :) And YAY for RaeAnn!!! I'll be thinking about both of you today--and I will call you when Natalie goes down for her nap!

Those family pics are AWESOME!!! You looks so beautiful and the colors are wonderful. Happy Birthday Nolan...hope your drive was great.

Last night we had some friends over for a roast dinner and we started telling them about our friends back in Smithfield who we would eat Sunday roasts with, reminence about Survivor with, enjoy carmel popcorn with and play Settlers with -- after a while I had to laugh -- I felt like we were telling them that they didn't compare to our REAL friends. HAHA!!! We love you guys and miss you tons. Hope Thanksgiving is awesome.
