Thanksgiving in St. George
My mom and dad sold their condo a few months ago in St. George- they've had it for so long (80's) and we have so many memories- but with our growing family, my parents couldn't resist this amazing new home in St. George. This is where we spent a whole week: Sunbrook, right on the golf course (my hubby was in heaven) GOOD BYE SNOW- HELLO SUNSHINE!
My boys love their cousins- Dillon and Cody and ASh loves Jenna (Doug's kids) They were non-stop outside or playing with toys or swimming...
Chad loving his Coke and his golf...what could be better? Not much for him. It was such nice weather!
The sunsets were gorgeous! This was taken on the back porch. It was so nice to get away!
My chunky monkey is getting so big. He is such a good, happy baby except when his sister comes around and tries to hold him and screams in his ear. He gets so nervous. I would too!
Before we left, my cute g-ma came over. She is the most beautiful grandma I know.
We tried to get a pic of all of us enjoying some down time in St. George but the boys just won't have it. They hate when i pull out the camera.
Angie and Lucy came down for a few days and brought Deb (Ang's best friend) who is so much fun. She is 6 feet tall- and the sweetest person. She helped out with all the kiddos playing tag for hours. I think we wore her out but she never complained.
My mom and the rest of the crew came on Tues and Wed. My mom makes such yummy food- I tried to learn her secrets this year. As always, she did a fantastic job only this year we had our feast in the beautiful surroundings of the red rock and some of our family were not able to come. The Rogers were up in Eden- Happy b-day to Marsha! If only we could be two places at once!
I hardly get my dad in a picture- so this is a keeper! Happy Thanksgiving! We had a great one and I am always in awe at how greatly we are blessed.
Now my mom says she started a new tradition- every year Thanksgiving is in St. George for the Jones' side. Thanks for the fun trip! Now- if my dad could just find his new house- that would make my mom oh so h appy. He got lost for 2 hours driving up and down the same street with Der as his passenger. I've never seen my mom so mad. Chad and I have never laughed so hard!

Wow! New Moon....AMAZING!
I haven't been to a movie in I don't know how long. But thanks to Brette, I got to go tonight to the much-aniticipated movie, "New Moon" with the girls and it was (and I NEVER say this) better than the book! This time around, I think the characters did an amazing job...and it helped to have more money for the film.
Okay- so Nat's a HUGE Jacob fan. I agree, Jacob (Taylor) was ripped, caring, sensitive, all the characteristics girls just swoon over. He was definitely eye candy and so great in this movie- It made me second guess Bella's decision to choose Edward over him...
And then there is Edward (Rob) who- I love as a character but am still unsure of on-screen.

Halloween Part II
Our neighbhorhood has this tradition- every year they have a Halloween Party at a different house and everyone brings a pot luck. I was so excited to get to know all our neighbhors. Below is a pic of some well-dressed dogs that live up the street. So hilarious!
My kids were off trick or treating before I could blink. We at at the neighborhood party- and went around our circle. Ashley actually held out longer than the boys. She and I went for hours while the boys went home and passed out candy with Chad. We had so many trick or treaters this year that Chad had to go back to the store 3 times- 7 bags of candy gone...
Jake actually painted his own face by himself and I thought he did a great job. Jonah wasn't to thrilled to get pictures taken- Chad hates pictures so he took it- I was just happy to get one of us together. I know my costume is lame- but at least i have SOMETHING on (Chad) We just had one heck of a week getting everyone healthy again so I didn't plan so well this year...
Ang came over and showed of her darling Lady Bug- Lucy. Aren't they cute?
My skeleton (not the best picture) is such a sweet boy. He really is such a great baby. We had a fun Halloween but missed going to our Nana's houses, which we usually do every year but had to stay away this year just to make sure we weren't passing any of our nasty sicknesses. Nevertheless, Halloween is definitely one of the best holidays, especially when you have the kiddos around!

Halloween Part I
Happy pre-Halloween Everyone! It has been a little crazy over here- the kids are feeling better at least. Today- Ashley had a halloween party at school- she was a little hesitant to go thinking I wouldn't be there, but I got to go and help. Thanks to Ang coming over to watch the boys.

Ash seemed tired today- I hope she isn't getting the Flu...but as for now- all is okay.
My beautiful princess changed her mind last minute to be Cinderella instead of Tinkerbell like I had thought- so much for that $50 costume.. But she is a beautiful princess (acts like one too)

Alex's Baby Blessing
What a special day! What a hectic day (the morning!) Alex was blessed Sunday and Chad did a beautiful job. Our ward had 3 other baby blessings and on top of that, our stake dissolved our ward that day, so we had many, many changes. Many testimonies. Our family all came and because it was kind of hectic morning (had to be there by 9:00 a.m. and have house, food all done) there aren't many pictures! But, I got Chad to sneak this one in during the luncheon we had at our house and my cute sister in law wrote down some of the highlights of his blessing:
"Alex Matthew Rogers, know how much you are loved. you are a special spirit. You have helped our family to grow closer. Look to your siblings for examples. Your mom and dad love you so much as well as your Heavenly Father. You can talk to us at any time. Grow spiritually and physically strong. Develop a testimony of your own- you can always go to your Heavenly Father. Chose your friends wisely and be an example to them. Pray you will be sealed to your chosen spouse. Be mindful of others and serve them. Service, Love and Kindness. Know how much you are loved."
