What a Wonderful Weekend

My brother Colbran & his wife Stefanie hosted the family for Thanksgiving weekend in their brand new house (they had barely halfway moved in the night before). We all had a blast! Here are the gracious hosts at Texas Roadhouse (the bread is to DIE for).

My cute nephew Easton, who just turned 1 yesterday! He is such a cutie and it was fun to see him. Cade called him 'Doggie' because he was crawling on the floor. Apparently he hasn't really seen a baby crawling...weird, but so funny. I also saw so much resemblance between Easton & Cadeson; does anyone else see it?


My mom & Cole; unfortunately we didn't see too much of my parents this trip - my dad had to leave on Thanksgiving evening and my mom drove a little further on Friday to visit her family & also my brother's family who couldn't make it to Colb's house. Good thing we get to see them again tomorrow!!!


My sweet Lane enjoying the bouncy place we went to.


Lane did such a great job this whole trip and I again felt so blessed to have him in our family. What a trooper!

Maddie & Cole LOVIN' the big tall slide.


My sweet girl


This picture is so typical Cole...he cracks me up every day.


Cade is so funny...everytime I would pick up the camera, he would strategically place himself and pose. He is extremely fun to photograph.

Can't help but love this face!


It was soooo good to see everyone for such a relaxing weekend! We REALLY missed Buck, Ari, & Cardsen, and Milla, Brig, Layt, & Parks. We hope it's not too long 'til we get to see you!

Some of the highlights of the weekend (in no particular order):

playing Apples to Apples with the siblings (I pretty much stink at this game, but sooo fun - especially on little sleep...)

Texas Roadhouse (did I mention their bread is DELICIOUS?)

chatting in the kitchen (sorry I wasn't more help, girls)

quiet time with my hubbie in the car (Quinton & the kids slept almost the WHOLE way)

being inspired & motivated by my amazingly talented & beautiful sisters-in-law

lots of good food (thanks Stef, for the stuffing - yummm)

watching the kids play with their cousins (we miss you all and wish we could be closer)

surviving the freezing cold the first night (thanks Mom, for turning the thermostat to 68)

feeling grateful for the bounties of life that we enjoy every day...I am so blessed!

being amazed at my younger brothers & how responsible, mature, & grownup all of them are...and my kids absolutely adore you, Quint, Stant, and Linc

Thanks everyone for such a fun weekend. Can't wait till our next meeting...oh wait, that's tomorrow!! Yay!

We are so sad that we couldn't be there for Thanksgiving, but it looks like you guys had a lot of fun! At least we will be able to see you over the Christmas break!
