Love this!

This video was made in the Antwerp, Belgium Central Train Station. On a Monday morning, with no warning to the passengers passing through the station, a recording of Julie Andrews comes on the public address system singing "Do, Re, Mi." As the bemused passengers watch in amazement, some 200 dancers begin to appear from the crowd and station entrances.

Thanksgiving 2009

We were able to go to Thatcher for Thanksgiving this year and spend some time with my family.  We had a GREAT dinner - I gotta say, my mom knows how to cook!  Seriously.  Especially the rolls, mmmm.  The rest was great too, but the rolls and potatoes are my favs! 

The kids had a great time - they loved playing outside and spent hours in the sandbox.  Kaden got to help papa and Lane on the tractor - not sure what they were doing.  I just know he came in covered in grease.  Ugh - my own fault for letting him wear school pants I guess.

Friday morning I talked  my mom into going to Walmart at the freakin crack of dawn!  Unfortunately that's pretty much the only store there, so it was really crowded and crazy.  But still fun and I got some great deals.  Matt had to go back home Friday morning to go to work - I wish he could have stayed with us.  Later that day I went with my mom, Timilee, and Shayla to see New Moon - it was even better the second time!

Saturday, I got to meet up with some high school friends.  It was fun to get together and visit, and the food was great!  Thanks Luci, Kristen and Jenni - good to see you guys!  Then I had strict instructions to be back in time for tamale making!  I know I'm biased, but my mom makes the BEST tamales!  And they are even better fresh.  All us girls made a bunch of tamales while the boys were out wasting time in the shop, pretending they were building something.  I think we ended up with 10 or 11 dozen!!  And then we ended the night with roasting hotdogs and marshmallows out in the backyard.  It was a GREAT weekend!

Eatin some pie and playing Sorry - one of the hundreds of games we played!

Enjoying some leftovers!

Lex and Neva are good buds.  Lexie is really not attacking her - they were hugging

Lex lovin on Logan and Shayla's new baby, Clancy.

Curlers!

Bailey loved her curly hair so much, she has been begging for me to do curlers again.  So we put them in a couple days before thanksgiving.  When we were done Lexie came and sat in my lap, I asked her if she wanted curlers too - YES!  And she actually sat still while I did it!  Hers didn't turn out so great - she has long hair, but it's still really thin and fine.

It looked a little better after we combed it out and put a bow in it!  Everyone was calling her Annie all day!

Award

November 17th - Kaden got an award for Academic Excellence at the school assembly.  He is a GREAT student, loves school, and loves to learn.  We're proud of you bubba!

Sunday

November 14th - ready for church.  We put curlers in bailey's hair the night before so she'd be dolled up for the primary program.  Her hair was hilarious.  I had several people say they didn't recognize her.
