Thanksgiving 2

What are you thankful for?

Justin: Family, Nature, Music, Movies, Scriptures
Hattie: Family, Time, Shoes, Laughter
Keaton: Trees, Sun, Fire
Sam: Books, the number 7, Eyes, Colors, People, Holidays
Nellie: Pink, and SquigglesFor FHE we laid out a poster board and drew many of the things that we are thankful for. It was fun to do this as a family so close together instead of spread out on our own sheets of paper. We got to talk and look at all of each others pictures. It really helped us appreciate the things that others are thankful for also.

Thanksgiving

I went in the bathroom to do my hair and look pretty for the holiday. I plugged in my hair straightener. The first part of my hair I went to make pretty was my bangs. I slowly placed the appliance on the counter, unplugged it and stepped away. I decided that somethings are not worth a repeat showing. Too bad my blog wasn't around then or I would link you to the original disaster.

Happy Holidays

Nellie says, "Boys don't shake, Girls shake! I like to shake it!"

A cough in one hand is worth pneumonia in the lungs

Took Nellie back to the doctor last week. She was coughing all night and kept us up. He ordered a chest x-ray. They called yesterday, it still looks a little off he said. Now we are on a different antibiotic for 10 days then another x-ray to see if all the pneumonia is gone. Say little prayers for our little one.

She is not acting sick at all. Very into dancing around, especially with all the new Christmas music.

Turtle

My friend Sarah Starks had a baby boy this weekend. A couple of weeks ago she had her shower and is decorating his room in turtles. I guess turtles are hard to find because she ended up with alot of frogs. I found this turtle pattern and decided to make it for her. Nellie sure thought it was great, and very happy to give it to Julia's new baby brother.

Happy Birthday Party Sam!

Sam has been so excited for his birthday. He shares the day with his turning 14 cousin Britt and his turning 6 cousin Kacie. He was so concerned about what the girls would want to do for their birthday together. "Mom do you think that Britt and Kacie would want to go to Amazing Jake's or Chucky Cheese?" I told him that we could have a friend birthday party and then a family one. He loved the idea. We then needed to think of a theme for the party. The big thing that he wanted to do was bob for apples. So we had a turkey and harvest themed party. We made turkey hats, pine cone turkey's, corn husk dolls, cardboard canoes, bobbed for apples, musical chairs, corn dogs, the corn in the front of the picture was the special gift we sent home with each boy. Tyler, Turley, Tanner, Coltin, Nolin, Keaton, Nellie and Sam all had a blast. I sure hope the day was a great one Sam and that you will have a great year.

Thank you Lucy!!

Presenting Matt and Linsey Merrill

The Harris baby tied the knot today!! Matt and Linsey have been dating for 2 years and I have never seen them so happy. We are so excited for their life together. Nellie couldn't get to sleep last night for all the excitement. She woke up this morning and said, "Where is my wedding dress, I want to wear it now." Our neighbor who was willing to watch Nellie during the ceremony was gracious enough to do Nellie's hair. She is so good, curls and floral sprigs, it is beautiful. Nellie also says, "Keaton and Sam and Dad are handsome. Mom, you and me are beautiful."

Randomness with a side of "Ketchup"

October was a busy month. Camping with the Harris', General Conference, starting in with a new company, the stake pioneer trek, Primary Sacrament Program, Primary teacher improvement, Nellie had pneumonia, a week of antibiotics, Halloween parties, homemade and store bought costumes, trick or treating. Not to mention birthdays, daily happenings (school, work, instrument practice, homework, eating) and weekly responsibilities (callings, scouts, play dates, church, work). I knew it would be hectic when I turned my calendar page to October on September 28th. I looked at the month to come and there were 3 days (out of the 31) that there was nothing written on it.

November, not that busy. The exciting things so far are... Sam squirted a beautiful heart of mustard on accident. Nellie found her reflection in the window and danced with her. Keaton had a homework assignment that stumped us all. If you know the answer to the bottom (fuzzy) picture, please comment. I could just blame the fuzzy pictures on the little ones that take the pictures but I will admit fault on these. Sorry to all the professional or semi-professionals out there cringing.
