Bored.

I have been "blog hopping" for at least an hour and finally decided to do a post. It's finals time for Chris, he has been studying like crazy and his work is merging with another credit union. They asked for employees who wanted to to work over time to stay late for the next week or so. Chris left at 7:00 a.m. this morning and he probably won't be home until 10:00 p.m. tonight ( I know some of you are saying what a baby). I am not complaining, I love it that Chris can get paid time and a half :0) I'm just bored. You can only "blog hop" for so long. Anyway, I decided to put on some pictures from Thanksgiving. Enjoy.


Chris (and the guys he works with) had a "dog off". Chris loves the hot dogs from Costco and some of the other guys liked the dogs from Sam's Club so they bought enough for everyone to have a half of each and they decided from there which one was better. Try and guess by the picture which one won. 


It has been awhile since I have posted anything that I have done for singing time so here he is.
We put disguises on him to try and trick Frank the Farmer from making him dinner. The junior primary loved it and yes, his head looks like a duck.

We went to my mom and dad's for our 2nd Thanksgiving lunch and while the girls were getting everything ready I had Chris keep Benson entertained by play Thomas the train online. Are you wondering why Chris has a splint and ice on his finger? He decided to play soccer the night before and he messed up his finger. He always injures his hands when he plays soccer. Silly boy.

Before the feast.
After the feast. Playing games and snacking.

This is my niece Paige and my newest nephew Caleb. Paige is so good with babies, she could have held him all night if we would have let her.
Brockston with Caleb. That boy makes me laugh all the time.
I hope that I am blessed one day with a baby just like this little boy Owen. I love him so much I could just eat him!
 
Carrie with her little one.

My favorite Sister-in-law Shari (well my only sister-in-law on my side) and her youngest Avrie. I seriously love Shari! She is so creative and crafty. Plus, she can sing. 
Garrett, Brockston, and Benson mesmerized by a movie.
I love this picture of Benson. I think that this was the first time Benson had roller skated and he was a natural! This makes me laugh every time I look at it.
   
Here is Chris playing with Benson. He was making him laugh so hard. I swear that all kids love Chris.

Last but not least, my sister Julie took Caleb down to my Grandma Anderson's house. I love my grandma so much. She is the sweetest.


I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! 
This totally didn't take enough time, Chris still won't be home for 3 more hours. 
Oh well.

I wish I could have been there to gobble up the turkey with you guys. That's awesome that they had a hot dog contest. We don't have a Costco, so I just get the dogs from Wally world.

I love your turkey. Yeah, his head does look a little like a duck, but who can resist that hair! So perfect for church! Did you make him or find him as a clip art? You're so creative. I wish you were our music leader. Not that she doesn't do a great job, but you're just too cute! LOVE YOUR GUTS :0)

I've been blog hopping for a while too... I'm also happy about Ben's overtime, but I wish he were home. It's too bad Ben's not in e-services, he would have loved the hot dog contest!

I must get all those Thanksgiving pictures from you. I didn't even do any kind of post for Thanksgiving. I'm such a slacker. That's awesome that Chris is getting paid extra, but sucky that you are home alone.

I look like a chunk next to Grandma, but so does Caleb, look at his chubby cheeks.

This is a great post! It was a fun day but it ended in anxiety for me. Why you ask? I don't know, but bedtime was welcome! Love your guts!

Playlist Fun

I thought this would be a cool idea, and a chance for me to brag about how awesome we are ;) I decided to create a playlist that only had bands on it that either Jena or I (or both) have seen in concert. So you are now listening to this playlist. Here is a little information to go along with the playlist: It only includes bands that we wanted to see, it doesn't include opening bands (unless we really liked them). You will notice that there is more than 1 song for a few of the bands. This reflects how many times we have seen them live. (Yes, I have seen Red Hot Chili Peppers 3 times, and I will see them again if I have the chance.) I refused to include songs from 2 of the concerts that Jena has been to, for personal reasons. These concerts are Garth Brooks and The Dixie Chicks. The first concert I ever went to was in 8th grade and it was Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. You know, from Led Zeppelin. I took my dad to see Deep Purple for Father's Day a few years back. Smoke on the Wate...

Our Everyday Life: Weeks 15-21

Where do I begin?! A lot has happened in the few short weeks that I haven't blogged. We unexpectedly moved back to Utah! Not only Utah, but our old hometown. **** Before we moved back to Utah, we visited family in Utah for Thanksgiving. Creating hand turkeys with Mema for thanksgiving. Jordis was quite positive that we couldn't see her. Barber Family Photo! I think he's pretty handsome... Boy band shot. All the grand kids.  We made candy sleds to race at GG's house with some of Jordis' cousins.  ****    We frequently head to the Harley store as a form of entertainment. Jordis could ride on this rocking  Harley all day. Notice that she HAS to wear gloves while riding. We had one last get together with some of our really good friends in Twin before we left. Visiting someones house that they decorate their entire yard and ...
