Playing catch-up. . .

Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is on it's way! I haven't updated you on what we have been doing in quite a while, so I thought I would try to catch you all up!

In mid-October D went on a fishing/camping trip with Jason, Steve-O, and Blinky. They went to West Grand Lake which is up north somewhere! I thought they were crazy because it was supposed to be freezing and rainy the entire weekend. But, other than a little bit of rain and cold and waking up to ice on the boat one morning, they had a good time and no one froze to death! Oh yeah, and everyone stayed in the boat and noone contracted any kind of bacteria! They spent most of their time eating! But when they did fish, D broke his unlucky fishing streak by finally catching a fish! See more pictures from their trip here.


D has also been busy the last few months building the beautiful tarp shed that is now gracing our yard! It has plenty of room for the motorcycle, riding lawn mower, and snow blower. And I think the cats like it when it is raining! It is constructed using PVC pipe, rebar, wood, and tarp. To see more pictures of the tarp shed construction click here.


We had a good time on Halloween! Us and the Farrars headed to the O'Braffam's house in SoPo for their annual party. D went as a Doozer and I went as a Care Bear. We dyed the clothes ourselves!

As for what I have been up to. . .not much really! Just puttering around the house and starting to think about organizing to make room for baby! I did finally make applesauce though! I got to use my new peeler/corer thingy, and it worked great! I love it and it makes peeling apples go by so much faster!


Thanksgiving weekend was a lot of fun. Thursday we went to Nola and Ken's house in Buxton in the morning, followed my folks' house in Kezar for the evening. Two turkey dinners in one day is too many!!!! It was really great to get to see everyone, and we got see my aunts and uncle who we don't get to see very often. Sunday evening we hosted a small gathering at our house with Roger, Jason, Amy, and the boys. We opted against turkey and went for the ham! Although we don't quite have a table big enough for 7 people, we had a great meal and everyone had fun! To see a few more pictures of our Sunday night Thanksgiving, click here.

The big news of Thanksgiving weekend is that about two months after we become new parents we will also be Auntie and Uncle since Jason and Amy announced that they are expecting a bundle of joy in July! Congrats to Jason and Amy! We can't wait to meet the new addition to the family!

It was definitely a weekend full of lots to be thankful for! I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, full of family and friends!

Till next time. . .

Love, Sarah
