Thanksgiving

Jonathan, the kids, and I drove down to Utah to spend Thanksgiving with his family. We left Wednesday afternoon and got to Jared and Heidi's home at around 4am the next day. It was a really LONG trip but it was a blast to see everyone and let our kids play with their cousins. On Thursday we played the Wii and other games while waiting for the Thanksgiving meal to start. Heidi made a wonderful meal and a bunch of different pies and it all tasted great! The boys played in the "Turkey Bowl" (football) and Faith tried so hard to play with them and keep up. The little kids played with PeanutButter Playdough and had so much fun eating it! We had Plumb family pictures and Heidi let all the kids help her put up their Christmas tree and decorate it. Heidi and Angela made sugar cookies and let the kids decorate them. Grandpa Plumb played the candy game with everyone and had a family Christmas gift exchange since everyone was there. Then right before we left on Saturday we made grahm cracker houses. Most of them collapsed but it was still fun. Jon and I didn't get any pictures because we left out memory card at home but I'll post the links to my In-Laws websites that have pictures posted. Thank you Heidi for opening up your home to all of us crazy people and feeding us! Thank you Angela for letting us stay at your home even though you weren't there! I hope to see you all again soon!

Halloween and Other Things...

First of all...Halloween. Faith was a witch and Logan was Batman. We went

to our ward's trunk-or-treat and the LOVED it! After the thrid car Logan wouldn't go

on until I gve him a sucker. He didn't seem to care much about all the other cars but

Faith wanted to go to every single car. They both had so much fun!

Logan's been playing this game where he climbs under blankets and "hides."

He thinks it's really funny, then he jumps out and yells "roar" and Faith calls him

the blanket monster. He does this over and over again for about 15 minutes and the kids

have fun playing like that. Well one time when they were playing this game in front of

Jon and I a while passed before I realized the kids were being really quiet. I found Logan

asleep under the blanket on this chair, I had to pull the blaket down a little so I could

take this picture. Guess he wore himself out!

Faith LOVES to draw! She actually draws people pretty dang well for a 3 year old.
Jon injured himself about two weeks ago. During PT at work they were playing some
soccer football game that someone made up and Jon was running after some guy,
it was really foggy that morning and he didn't see some bleachers until it was too late to stop,
so he decided to try and jump over them. He made it over the bleachers but landed on his
right side on the ground. This is a picture of the first day he started bruising. I should
have taken day by day pictures of his bruising, it ended up going from his mid-waste
all the way down to his knee and was black and purple with red spots all over it for days!
He's still bruised pretty badly but he can at least walk better now.

I was really craving homemade cinnamon rolls the other day so I decided to make
some. They turned out pretty good, a little dry but still really good.
