Gratitude

It really has been a great year for our family! Ryan and Emily were married, Brittney found a new job, car, and someone special, Meg and her family moved back to Utah!, AND gave us a new grand daughter. The boys are both doing great in work and school~We have more that we could ever ask for!

Excited for Thanksgiving!

Preslee painted this picture of Grandpa carving the turkey! I love the grey hair streaks! She is quite the little artist~

Cross Country 2011

Abush did really well in cross country this year. It is his first year running on the high school team. He lettered, and received the "Cinderella" award, because he ran one whole race without 1 shoe! He wasn't ready when the gun went off....but he took 4th anyway!

Jordan and Jason's wedding

Jordan and Jason were married on November 10, 2011 In the Logan temple. It was a beautiful day!~We had a little time between the ceremony and the luncheon, so we went bowling!

Here we all are at the luncheon~
really delicious food, and Bret and Jordan
gave us an entertaining father/daughter dance.
It was perfect!

HALLOWEEN ! BOO!

Makin' some gooey stuff!!

Family Halloween Party. Everyone looked great!
They got to make their own colored GOO! So fun!

Even the Adults looked cute!!!

Megan had a fun family dinner with lots of spooky treats! Andy thought he would do his part, and the chocolate covered numnums are actually pickles, ginger, green beans.....uck! But he also did cinnamon bears too.

Preslee is 7!

I can't believe it has been 7 years since our little Preslee was born, she is a good girl, loves 1st grade, plays sports, rides her bike like a pro, and is so good to her little brother~ Emily did a chinese dinner for her party. Chinese lanterns, chinese birthday placemats, chinese food, and at the end a fortune cookie for all of us, with a surprise message that she and Ryan are expecting in April. We couldn't be happier!
Here is Preslee the birthday girl, with Madelyn in her birthday suit!!!

Soccer Season 2011

Carson and Cash are playing on the same team this year. They are doing so great and having so much fun together!

Jalair is on team United....She is a little hustler and really is getting good!!! We have had so much fun cheering them all on!

Abush in Cross County

Abush is doing excellent on the Salem Hills Cross Country team. Every time he races, he betters his time. This time by almost a full minute!!! His coaches are so great, and are teaching him lots.

Chili Sauce - YUMMY!

We spent the day canning chili sauce. We had gone to the farmers market on Saturday to get most of the veggies, and even used some tomatoes from our own garden~ Sure hope it tastes as good as Grandma Abels ....

HARVEST TIME

We always have fun when we are together! The boys all went fishing so it was a GIRLS only day!

Jalair and Preslee did a GREAT job cutting up all the bell peppers~ Plus they looked so cute in their aprons!
