Topher's Ocean Project 2011

Wow, what a whirlwind four weeks it has been. Since I started my new job, I haven't had a lot of time to blog! I need to catch up big time. A couple weeks ago, Topher's class had a Habitat Fair. Topher chose to do a report and project about the Red Crab. Here is his 3D habitat.He really had a great time making it. Whenever he has a project at school, he is on mine and Terry's butt to HELP HIM GET IT DONE! I hope this desire to get projects done early stays with him for the rest of his life!!Nice job, Topher!

Thanksgiving 2011

Welcome, dear blog reader! How thankful I am for all that I have this year. It has been one wild ride, especially since October. So glad everything happens for a reason. At the time I took these pics I hadn't known I was starting my new job. It is going SO well I thought I would express my thanks in this post. I am so thankful for Terry's family. Here is a pic of Tim with his Peama (Kathy) and Grandpa Steve. I am thankful Alex is living his dream and is safe on the road. Misssed him at Thanksgiving though! Here is a pic of Payden and his girlfriend Beth. Great to meet you!I am thankful for Brendon and hoping he is happy where he is. I hope next year I will be thankful for his graduation from high school :) Love you Bren! Here is a pic of me and my sweetie!I am so thankful for Tim. He is doing well in school and growing up so fast. Here is a pic of Kody and his sweetie Heather. I am so greatful for Topher! He is doing so well too. I was worried about his growth for a while, but he is now growing so fast I can't even keep him in clothes! No health problems, no major difficulties, we are truly blessed. Here is Logan with his mamma Kasey.I am greatful for a husband that takes such good care of his family and loves me in spite of all the things I do wrong (hahaha). It is so wonderful to be able to rely on him. A man that cooks, cleans, does laundry and makes a decent living! I am a lucky girl! Here is a pic of Kasey with her love Jeremy!After we left the wonderful dinner at the Morley house, we went to Grandma Karen's. I am so greatful for my family. I love that we are so close. Look at stylin' little Calli!Topher loves his Calli!And Calli loves her Uncle Jason!The cousins love each other...................maybe to death!Maddie doesn't let the boys have all of the fun!!!Later, everyone settled down. Here are the boys watching one of Trey's movies. Think they are close enough?While they watched a movie, we all learned how to play a new game. It was a great day, one of the best! I missed Bren because he had other plans and I missed Alex because he was on tour! (Your welcome, Richmond Virginia...you got to have him that night!) I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. We are truly blessed!!!
