1st Annual Dirty Stache and Eggnog Bonanza

We had our stache party the other night (Thanks Henriods! It's spreading across the country now). We had a great showing. There were over 30 people and about 12 hairy upper lips. In an effort to not exclude the women, they were invited to grow out their unibrows. The outfits were hilarious and the white elephant exchange fun. Unfortunately, I only have a picture with all the first year residents but when I get some more pics I will put them up. It was a huge success and tons of fun. We are excited for the next party in Utah, although Steph made me shave off the stache so I probably won't have much to be proud of :)

Ward Christmas Party

Santa's Village

One of the towns near here does a cool little Santa's Village including about 25 little houses that might be found at the North Pole. Some were Santa's house, Mrs. Claus' bakery, The reindeer stable, post office, fire dept, etc. The kids went in each of the places and got something special from them. They had a great time and it was all free!

Kylie's Blessing

Turkey Bowl 2007

Ty and Dad vs. Dev and G-pa. This was quite the football game! The kids were so cute.

Fun Thanksgiving Week with Grandma & Grandpa

Turkey project with apples and marshmallows. The kids loved this and couldn't wait to eat them after we used them for decor on the Thanksgiving dinner table! Thanks grandma.

We had a great time at the park, although it was a bit cold.


The boys and grandparents making a gingerbread house. Again, the highlight was, "When can we eat the gingerbread house?"

Grandma and Grandpa brought their Wii and we all were hooked-especially Devon! Here they are playing baseball. At first, everytime we started playing a sport on the Wii, Tyson would bring out the real thing and try to get us to go outside and play. We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving feast!

Decorating the Christmas tree.

A Perfect Day At the Zoo

Dollar day at the zoo was a few days before Thanksgiving so we went with grandma and grandpa. The weather was perfect and it really was an awesome zoo. The animals were mostly all out and awake and we saw some we have never seen before.

Fall is here!

Here are a few pics from a trip to the park with grandma and grandpa.

Great Season Devon!

Devon had his last soccer game in mid november. In the very last game he scored his first goal of the season. We were sure proud. He made a lot of progress this year.

Picnic

Yesterday we went to this beautiful park for a picnic and got some great pictures of the kids.

Halloween

On Halloween we got to celebrate Jared's 29th birthday by going to dinner (thanks Morris & Ashley!) and going to a Texas Tornado hockey game which was a lot of fun. We also celebrated the holiday by going to our ward's halloween party and trick or treating around the neighborhood. Devon was a Power Ranger and Tyson was Batman and Dash.
