Happy Thanksgiving

I wanted to wish all my family and friends a very happy Thanksgiving. I feel like we skip right over this holiday and rush straight into Christmas. This to me is an extremely important holiday because this is when we remember our blessings and give thanks for them. I am grateful to my Father in Heaven for my very many blessings. For my family, my sweetheart who loves me to the moon and back and all the way to eternity, my fantastic 4 kids (yes I know, I meant to make a reference to the comic book super hero's. Look it up you will find how closely mine fit into each of those characters) These sweet kids keep me on my toes and teach me every day how to be a better mother. I love them more then anything else in the world. They are my world. I am grateful for the job that my husband has and enjoys, especially in these tough times. I am grateful for patients both in me and for me. I am grateful for wonderful Friends who keep me laughing and help me find the good times that can be had any time, any place. I am most of all grateful for the gospel and for what it means to me. For the opportunity I have to be with all these wonderful people for eternity. And for my Savior for making it possible through his sacrifice.

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!!

New Moon

Well I have had such big plans for this movie premier and I did all of them except take my camera. I am hoping to get a copy of the group picture from Heidi but we will have to wait and see.
I will tell the tale though for those that want to read it. I went to the New Moon movie with a bunch of my friends from the ward at (here it comes, hold on to your chairs) 3:10 am. You read that right, 3:10 am. I have heard a hundred times how crazy that was but it was a blast! There were probably 12 of us some in Team Jacob T's and the rest of us wearing our "we wouldn't turn down either one" T's ( I am kidding. I don't have any twilight T-shirts, not really my thing) We got to sit in the prefect seats and sit back and enjoy. It was a great movie far better then the first one. And I am super excited to see the third one in June!! Thanks again Heidi for putting this together again this year. You are the greatest!
I do have to say really quick that I think that I got far more sleep seeing the movie at 3 then I would have at say a midnight showing. I got 5 and half hours of sleep where I would have only had 3 hours of sleep if I had gone at midnight. See not sounding so crazy after all!

Picture

Here is his First Picture.

His name is Wesley Brandel Odell.

Isn't he the cutest little peanut!

Good News!

After years of trying and struggling my sweet baby sister has had her second baby!!!! I don't know his name yet, but he was born today and weighed in at a whopping 5lbs 9 oz. Teeny tiny but being that we were all worried that he wouldn't be here at all we are soooo happy that he is here and everything is looking good.

Congratulations Kaci and Brad!!!!!

I will post any pictures as soon as I get them.

Halloween Tradition #4

Our 4th Halloween Tradition is Carving pumpkins. Usually we do this with our friends the Farmers. But unfortunately with Troy's travel schedule and Edda's work schedule it didn't work out. To be honest we barely had time to do it at all. We did it on Morgan's birthday after we went Trick or treating at Troy's office and before Morgan had her sleep over with her best friend Hannah. So needless to say we were a little busy toward the end of the month. So here are some pictures of our carving fun. Here is Mikayla (crown and all) smiling brightly and Sam trying his hand at carving.
All the kids with their finished products.

its a little blurry but here are all our pumpkins all lit and looking good. Morgan's pumpkin say "Happy Birthday Morgan" you can guess what was on her mind! Mikayla had a heart, Owen and Sam both wanted scary faces on their pumpkins.
