We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the Ricks family! I loved being there with WE’s family. Highlights included Thai food with the A siblings/adults, racquetball, cafe rio, turkey dinner, thankful video, tricks and popcorn, pie, cheese platter, volleyball, and the warm St George sunshine!

WEjr got to meet his cousin R – who is only 2 months older than him and it was funny to watch R’s drive-by binkie swiping. He’d snatch WEjr’s pacifier right out of WEjr’s mouth and off he went with it. They seemed to enjoy each other though and I’m really happy that WEjr will have a boy cousin just older and just younger than him so that those boys will be able to team up against the rest of the older, crazy girls in the family:

Boy Cousin younger than WEjr will be born in Feb 2012

Here’s WEjr with Grape (Great Gpa and patriarch of the family):

Big Blue Eyes

I’m so thankful for my beautiful blue eyed, white eyebrow-ed  boys! I am so blessed to have such a sweet and loving husband. His family is pretty dang awesome too. I’ve got a roof over my head, food to eat, a job that I love, and a life that anyone could only ever hope for! Life is so incredible and I am grateful for it!

I entered a contest at work today for the month of December. I will have a weigh-in this Thursday. Then I will have another weigh-in on the first week of January. If I have maintained or lost weight during the holidays, then I will be entered in for a chance to win $50!

Wish me luck!
