Charlie Bit me!

My brother showed John and I this video on You Tube that is just so funny. Click here to see it first.

Well, since then, John likes to show it to Connor every once and a while because Connor likes to imitate and sometimes you just need a good laugh!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just love Thanksgiving and this year we were lucky enough to have 2 dinners! Okay, it was a bit much, but so fun to be with family. First we went to John's brother's and my only assignment was to bring pies, which I failed at. Oh, I made great pies the day before, but I forgot to bring them. Crap. So I was thankful for Albertson's and Marie Calendar.

After that, we ate more turkey at my mom's. The place was packed and I loved it. It is just so fun having most (we missed you guys who couldn't make it!) of our family all together. We ate 'till we were sick and then we played a ruthless game of Outburst. I have to say that maybe John and I need to be on the same team from now on. All the other couples seemed to figure that out, but not us. Unfortunately, John's team killed us the first round and then beat us by 1 the second round. I want a rematch at Christmas!

Things I am Thankful for: (in no particular order and not at all comprehensive)
1. John, Sydney and Connor. What a boring life it would be without them!
2. My mom and Lynn for supporting us through so much.
3. That we can be close to family again. I didn't realize how much I missed my brothers and cousins until we came back.
4. My dad and the relationship we have been able to develop over the last year.
5. Movies, we wouldn't have much to talk about if it weren't for movies.
6. Email, facebook, and blogger so I can keep in touch with all my friends that we miss so much!
7. I am a stay-at-home mom. I am thankful that John and I are on the same page with this issue and that I get to be there for every tear and every giggle.
8. Education, mine and John's. Even though I don't teach, I learned so much that helps everyday and even though we complain about the last 4 years, we grew so much, together and individually.
9. Our grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, etc. It is just so nice to have everyone's love and support. That is what this time of year is all about.
10. The gospel and my knowledge of the plan for us here on earth.

Bitter Sweet

I am a little behind in the blogging arena, so I am trying to catch up today.

Last Saturday started out great. I went with some of my family to see the new Twilight movie. I will have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it! Okay, the special effects were not that great, but I was prepared for that and I felt that they knew they had that limitation and so they didn't use them that often. Although I don't think Robert Patterson is all that cute, he pulled off a pretty good Edward. He was just awkward, which is how I pictured a vampire tying not to eat the one he loved. I thought Kristen Stewart as Bella was great! They gave her a little more strength in the movie than in the book, which I liked better. I actually think John might like it, as long as he can look past some of the cheesy special effects. Have you seen it yet? What did you think?

The Bitter part came later that afternoon. John's face says it all

Yes, BYU lost to the U! We had some of my family come over for the game and a BBQ. It was a lot of fun, well, until the end. John and I were outnumber so, all the U fans loved gloating.

Next year, U better watch out!

Older and Wiser?

John has had a lot of patients tell him he looked too young to be a dentist, so he thought he would try and experiment:

Can you tell? Does it make him look older?

This was after two weeks of growth and thankfully he didn't think it was him and shaved it off. Maybe it was because his wife couldn't kiss him without cringing?

Children's Museum

Connor and I were able to join Sydney's preschool for a field trip to Discovery Gateway last week. It was probably the smallest children's museum I have seen, but kids don't care about size, only content and there was plenty to do there.

New Hair

Sydney and I got new hair styles yesterday, thanks to my cousin Jenny.

Okay, I finally got the pictures up of John's crash. Check them out.
