Thanksgiving Weekend

Ali and Amanda came on THursday and we had a great Ham dinner and went to the movies. Friday we all went our seperate ways and shopped, then met at Gloria's, it is an Italian place, downtown Provo. We then continued with our shopping and had our turkey on Friday evening. What a wonderful night of famiy time. Saturday we went and got out massages, had lunch, then relaxed until dinner. Dinner consisted of the best steak and drinks and a very modern restraunt in Provo. We had double raspberry martini's (non alcholic), and then we went to a comedy show. We came home and enjoyed reminissing of the kids jr high and high school days. I love to find out just what my kids did in high school. I would ask them...."and where was I when this happened?" Almost instantly the kids said..."asleep". So just because you think your teenagers are home, asleep and safe...think again, hahaha

Best Husband

Seems as if we get into our same routine over and over, we forget to tell our significant other the way we feel, how much we love them and how much we appriciate them. Gerry and I have been debating if we should buy him a new computer or get his old one fixed. I wanted to fix the old one, he wants a new one. So it really was never decided. One of my late nights at work, I called him and asked what he was doing. "I am at the mall". I am thinking to myself.....uh oh, he never goes to the mall. So come to find out, he found out that a jewelry store was having a RESETTING event. So he took my Marquise, from a previous marriage, and had it set in a beautiful penant necklace. WHen I asked him why he did this and not take the money to buy a computer, his response was "I need you more than a computer" How sweet he is....always thinking of others.

Layla's nursery

Finally....We have Layla's Nursery finished. I painted the picture on the wall with her name written in Farsi and then Natasha put a frame around it. We made all the bedding, James painted, and Grandpa put in the chandelier. So I guess you might say it was a family effort.

Halloween at work

Some of the students dressed up for the halloween fun. We also had a great bake sale and Taylor surprised me and came as spiderman,

Beautiful Sunsets

These are some sunsets taken from our back yard. Living above the valley gives us great views of the Utah lake and the western mountains. They are great, and every night we love our sunsets.

Halloween

Hagrid was dressed as a clown and Taylor loves our dog, They had a blast together in the front yard, waiting to go trick or treating in the neighborhood.

We went to my school for a trunk or treat party, and a halloween party for Taylor. He dressed up as Spiderman, he is so fun, and loves loves loves Halloween. His parents took him with a group of neighborhood friends and he would run to the doors and yell TRICK OR TREAT as loud as he could. He really got into it. Love that boy
