Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving, What a wonderful Day.

A special holiday that helps us all to remember just how very blessed and how very grateful we are. Matt and I love hosting Thanksgiving at our house it's a comforting tradition for our family. We love being able to be in our happy home with our loving family and friends.

Oh, what a wonderful time and oh, what a wonderful meal!

Ava is big enough to enjoy the food this year!

Daddy and his girls must rest or they might EXPLODE!!!!!

Happy Hearts and Happy Tummies !

The Feast..........and the...........remains.

Happy Thanksgiving

The Circus

We enjoyed a fun filled evening with the stars!

The stars of Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey's Circus - The Greatest Show on Earth! ZiNG ZaNG ZOOM!

Matt and I hadn't taken the kids to the circus in 5 years - which in my circus loving opinion -is way to long.

Bradford had never been to a circus and it was extra exciting for him. We got a super great deal which made this experience so affordable. This deal gave us tickets for 1/2 price and included not only the show but also a meet and greet with the animals and the Performers.

Enjoy some fun pictures from our big night at the big top!

Our 1st Wedding Anniversary

September 12, 2009
One happily married year!

We took the night for ourselves and booked
a beautiful honeymoon suite at the Red Moose
Lodge in Wolf Creek, Utah.


This amazing suite had a hot tub right in our
living room.

Oh Yeah!

Also a double headed shower! Sweet!!

We enjoyed (choked down, more like)

Lucid Absinthe, it's great stuff despite

the strong wormwood flavor. A real must

try during one's life.

Ever had a cocktail that did this - when you

poured it?

To Many Many More Blissful

Wonderful Years together.

Family Vacation 2009 - Pickleville Playhouse

If ever you shall find yourself in Garden City, Utah - you Must visit The Pickleville Playhouse. The Pickleville Playhouse is just fun. The Playhouse offers not only a variety of live theatre but also a chuck wagon style barbecue dinner. While it's your choice you can do either or, and even both if you so choose. We did both. The evening started out with great food, some fun laughs and a couple of spills. Then after dinner it was SHOWTIME. The play we saw was Annie Get Your Gun. I was the only one in the family who had known the story prior to attending but everyone laughed and loved it. Here is a link to The Pickleville Playhouse. Undeniably Unforgettable. http://www.picklevilleplayhouse.com/bearlake.html
