Happy Holiday's!
I can't believe the first week of December is already past! November just flew by and before I know it Christmas will be here.
We decided kind of last minute to go and spend thanksgiving in Phoenix with Rich's brother and his wife. We wound up stopping and seeing Carlsbad Caverns on the way out, and after Thanksgiving we drove up to the Grand Canyon where Rich and his brother did a rim to rim hike in one day. It was a fun week being able to visit with them, and see Rich's parents that flew out for Thanksgiving as well. I'll be putting up tons of pictures next week on our family blog with all the fun we had.
This past week I've been volunteering at the school every day. It was a busy and full week, but still fun and enjoyable. I am looking forward to things slowing down this week a little bit and trying to get caught back up at home.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Have a great month of December. I know I've got lots of plans to bake since I missed all my holiday baking last year. :)

Oh my...
I have neglected this blog! And... I haven't even been emailing people regularly either. :(
The last few weeks have just been busy. Between school stuff, church stuff, and other stuff we have had something almost every evening or afternoon.
Halloween came and went and I still haven't gotten the one picture I managed to take of three of our four kids uploaded. I forgot to get one of all four together, since Ashley went and trick or treated with a friend instead of with the rest of us. Also I actually dressed up for our ward Halloween party- I'll have to grab a picture from my friend to document that I have dressed up for Halloween as an adult!
so... what can I talk about here... some highlights...
Oh! I've lost 14.6 pounds so far on weight watchers! I'm down two sizes in my jeans... I was in a tight 12 and today I put on some capri's that are size 8!
My friend launched her first crafting DVD, and so it's been exciting watching the process she has gone through with it. If you are into crafting and stamping and know about Cricket's go and check out her blog www.mypinkstamper.com
I'm finding that the 2 1/2 hours that Angie is in school each day go way toooo fast! I can never get everything done that I want to get done in that time. Even if it's just relaxing and reading for the afternoon. The time just FLIES by!
I made bread this last week after not making bread for over a year... and we'll just say I'm surprised I still registered weight loss when I went to my weight watchers meeting today... :) Honey Butter and homemade bread are a temptation that I can't say no to! :)
And now I have one girl in her pj's and two girls that are supposed to be taking baths/showers and getting pj's on... but aren't. So I'd better get off of here and get them moving. :)
I'll try and post more soon... and get a few pictures up as well.
