We had a quiet but very nice Thanksgiving with Katie and Grandpa Bell here.

Too much food for only 4 people! But it was yummy!

We never finished our puzzle, we needed more help from more people.

Anyone want to come over and make holiday treats?

 Is this not just a beautiful sunset? It is way cool to be able to 

see this so often. We need to enjoy it while we can!

 Katie and her Papa!

Katie and her Mama! I look more thin far far far away!

Chilly but pretty darn nice for December!

 Went to the Zoo with the trip's. It was a great weather day and

we had a great time. I'm so glad to be able to do things with grandkids.

 I wasn't there on Halloween but I was there for the ward trunk or treat party.

Even though the boys were a bit under the weather with a cold they

had a great time. They do look like little football players!

And Tay Tay you are so pretty!

 Tay was upset about her Mom's birthday cake. I don't know why just one

of those days that you just can't handle something new.

I forget now, but I think she finally ended up eating it? 

The boys had no problem with the cake!

Happy Birthday Jen!

Happy Birthday Ivan!

I was lucky enough to get to be at Ivan's 1st Birthday!

We had a great time with cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Happy Birthday Ivan bear!

Idaho Fun!

My Big Brother Ray enjoying the day with Tom and I.

Had a great time on Norm's jet skis and boating with some of the clan.

Thanks BIG BROTHERS. . . for the fun times.

Sorry Norm & Tara, had to post the butt shot photo just because it was all so funny!
First, Tom literally slid, then ROLLED off the boat. (sorry no video of THAT!)
I got on the jet ski after that and was STILL trying not to laugh so hard see above.
And then Tara finally fell in trying to retrieve the other jet ski.

It was such a fun morning to be sure. 

Our Brave Little Taylor

You just have to watch this video. It is just a small view into how much 

Taylor LOVED the ocean. It's crazy. Remember this is taken

in MARCH when the air was chilly, sunny but chilly and the

water was pretty darn cold. But she would not be stopped

purple lips and all. Never cried wanted to keep crawling into

the ocean until her daddy would pick her up.

Way to go baby Tazor Cakes!

We Love the Beach!

Our little miss Taylor LOVED the beach!  It didn't matter to her that it was a bit chilly 

or that the water was COOOOOLD!  I thought the water was cold but she just 

wanted to go in it.  The waves didn't bother her and the sand didn't bother her 

and the COLD didn't bother her. The only thing to stop her was her DAD! 

When her lips got purple/blue we had to take her out and warm her up. . . 

then she was ready to go again!

The boys on the other hand preferred the warmth of the umbrellas and sand.  

They did like the sand but they didn't really like the COLD water like

 little miss TAY TAY!  Next time boys! The three of them are such happy children. . .

 We are glad Mom and Dad wanted to come to the beach to play!  Come again real SOON!

 We love our snacks!  YUMMY
