Jordon

My poor Joe Joe is not feeling well. I think the croupy cough is going around.

To whom it may concern,

If you gave the croupy cough to us I would like you to come get it because we don't like it here. It has made my baby boy sad and his throat sore and scratchy. He really wanted to make a snowman tomorrow. Which probably won't happen. I wanted to go walking. Which probably won't happen. Next time please ask first. Thank you!

Sincerely, A mom trying to keep her kids well.

Get Well Soon my sweet Joe!

Gavon, Gavon, Gavon! I'm not sure what we would do without him.

He loves his picture taken and he never does exactly the same thing.
(I love this picture)
This is his Ninja picture. He keeps us laughing always. We put our Christmas tree up last night. You would think that he had never seen a Christmas tree before. I think it has been re-decorated, re-decorated, and re-decorated. I hope it will make it at least until Christmas in one piece.
We love our sweet Gavon!

Happy Thanksgiving 2010

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jenson and Jordon putting whip cream on the pies they made.
One spoonful for the pie. One spoonful for our mouth.:)

Another Gavon face while Jenson and Jordon make their pie.

Menu- Brined free range turkey (It was moist and yummy)

Homemade stuffing ( moist/healthy/better than stove top any day)

Grandma Wray's famous jello ( I think I put a little too much orange peel.)

Mashed potatoes

Sweet potatoes (-minus the marshmallows. I think they are sweet enough)

Organic apple cider

And of course....Pie! ( I made a sweet potato pie with a whole wheat crinkle cookie crust, Madison made a yummy frozen key lime pie, Brooklon made a chocolate/peanut butter pie to die for, Maron made an amazing coconut cream pie, and Jenson and Jordon made a great pumpkin pie each.)

All in all it was a great meal. It has been a nice break together. We are grateful for our many blessings. We are truly blessed.

Maron's Social Studies Project

Maron is working on a social studies project. Part of the project is to create a plaque of someone from Utah's history. Maron decided to make a plaque of Joseph Smith. While Joseph never made it here to Utah He still is a big part of Utah history.

Brooklon's Sixth Grade Medieval Feast

Brooklon's Sixth Grade Medieval Feast

(the pictures are a little out of order and once again I don't know how to move pictures)

During the feast Mrs. Mason (Brooklon's teacher) lead the sixth graders in a little dance/jig around the tablesThey weren't allowed to use utensils while eating. Everything was eaten by hand or in Brooklon's case straight from plate to mouth. (She's supposed to be a "Lady" in waiting.

uh.....there's a little something on your face Brook.:)

The Jesters

The Knights in armour jousting. They're trying to put their "lance" through the donut hole while riding their "horse".

Brooklon's friend Kirra.

This is the table where the King, Queen, etc. sat. ( their teachers chose what they would be. You were asked to be a King, Queen, Knight, Lady in Waiting, or peasant. The peasants served everyone and took turns eating. It was fun to watch. I think they all had a fun time. I think Brooklon's teacher is great.
