I Am A Failure

So, what else is new? I just can't seem to get on top of keeping this blog up to date. I am over six months out of date now and there are tons of entries to be made! Birthdays, Mothers and Fathers Day, camping trips, European trips, and just great happenings in our lives! But I can't seem to have the two or three days to do the downloading of photos on the blog---thats what takes a long time...

So, I guess I am saying all this so that if any of my five readers check here to see something new, and there is the same ole, same ole things----please be patient with me.

I will get to it someday----after all, I should eventually slow down and have a few days on my hands in Aug......er.....Sept.....er.....November?

Wish me luck.

Turkey Day

Before Thanksgiving, Hailey paid us a visit---to go to Sting. (Yay!)

Maryn, always excited by the prospect of eating!

Clayton and Meg, preparing their pumpkin log

Maryn and Brinna playing around with their cameras, as usual.

Elder Costello and Smith, excited for their first big dinner of the day!
(they ended up going to three)

Nice turkey.

The table looks great, but where's the food?

The whole gang, except for Shawn, ready to dig in!

Meg and Clayton, looking divine.

Aydan, giving himself rabbit ears!

And now we will have the "highest number of hats on our head" contest...will it be Clayton...

....or Aydan with the highest amount?

Everyone turned out for Thanksgiving this year, along with the Missionaries from our church, Clayton's girlfriend, Meg, and Brinna's friend, Michael. We had moved at the beginning of November, so it was a hectic time getting things unpacked, as well as the play that I was directing for the church opened the second week of November. Our church was also in charge of a Thanksgiving Concert that included all the area churches, so there were extra practices for that, as Shawn is the choir director.

Shawn also had a gig in Phoenix, (see her blog@ www.swaneesinger.blogspot.com to read about it!) and had to go to the airport by two in the afternoon, so we had an early dinner at noon.

Yummy food, lots of laughter, and great times---as well as some more outdoor fun for the kids after Shawn left! While the cat's away....
