Too long

It has been tooo long. I have taken a bit of a break. I just don't have any good pics. I hate posting with out pics but I need to mention some fun things we have done and to post some of the things I am grateful for.

Colton has been begging Chad now for a month to take him shooting. Remember he is only 3 well almost 4. Finally Chad got out the pellet gun and we took all three kids up the canyon to shoot bottles and cans. Colton loved it. WEll actually they ALL LOVED it. Little Karleigh was so funny. Chad put his hand over hers at first on the trigger but she needed no help she pulled that trigger and laughed. She would run up to the bottles and just squeal she thought it was so funny to see the holes in the bottles. We had a great time. Memories in the making.

Thanksgiving was wonderful. First we headed to my Dad and Mom's and ate with my family. Then we headed home to Eat with Chad's Family. AFter eating we decorated Gingerbread houses. The kids had a lot of fun. Ours havn't lasted long the kids have been eating off them everday since. I usually don't let them have any but this year I figured what the heck. So they are about gone.
