Thanksgiving Time 2011

We had a small Thanksgiving meal the week of Thanksgiving.  Jason was in Elko but Kasey was able to make it.  We don't get that very often!

Here is Janessa in November.

Trying to look like dad

Cute Annaly's first Thanksgiving

I always grow pumpkins in my garden but this year I actually cooked and pureed them so I could make my own pumpkin pies!  They were yummy and so fresher tasting that what you get in a box.

Playing a computer game.  So glad that Joel could be home for a few days from school!

I am so thankful for ALL of my family!!!

Blessing Day for Annaly

Annaly's blessing was on September 25, 2011.  She looked beautiful in Emily's blessing gown.  The Denison's all came up and together we had a BBQ after the blessing at our home.

She's 25!

On Monday, January 10, 1986 a little after 8 a.m. Janessa was born in the LDS hospital in Salt Lake. Here she is 25 years later enjoying manicotti, salad and rolls.

 

Tyson has gotten out of the craziness of not having his picture taken.....but now he makes silly faces when you snap the picture. LOL! Not sure if he thinks it is a smile or if he just wants to be silly.

 

Of course.....he might have gotten his silliness from his daddy.

 

On Saturday, dad and I were suppose to go to the BYU bb game in Provo. I decided to bring a cooler so we could buy Janessa a birthday cake from Cold Stone. Her favorite ice cream. We had a crazy day with not knowing where the car keys were and having to get a new key but still managed to find a Cold Stone to get this cake. Temps outside were below freezing so we probably didn't even need a cooler that day to bring it home!

 

Grampie showed Tyson what he use to do with his daddy, Janessa and the other kids when they were little. Tyson looks a bit nervous afterwards but after seeing what he does with his own daddy, I don't know why he was nervous with Grampie!!!


Tyson wanted to play party games at Janessa's party. He had his own birthday party on Saturday so I am assuming he played this with his friends. Thanks Tyson for the fun game!

Tyson has been afraid of "monsters" for awhile. I think he might be ok now since he has this story of how he booms them. We had to go look for monsters in the house and boom them....I think we got them all!

Now we are ready for Janessa to blow out the candles! It was hard to just get the 5 candles in a frozen cake so we opted to not try to push 20 more in the top.

 

 

Probably a good thing she didn't have to blow out any more!

Now on to the presents! Tyson was excited to see what Janessa got!

 

Corbin...not so much.

 

Just what Janessa asked for!

 

I don't think Tyson thought it was a good present. LOL!

 

Happy Birthday Janessa! Hope you had a great day!

Last warm day before Fall!

Hard to believe that we could swim in the lake on October 2nd this year! Summer was such a cold one but here we are at Bear Lake having a great time! The outdoor temp had to have been in the high 70's! Emily parent's, Lana and Kirk, plus Grandpa Anderson & Devon came and spent the weekend with us after we all sat through an angonizing football game. USU beat BYU in Logan this year.

We had a few water toys that needed to be inflated so we went to the local store and bought this row boat so we could get the other toys blown up too. Turns out that Tyson thinks the boat is his now....he really enjoyed it!

 

 

Dad....not really soaking up the sun but listening to his ipod made him happy!

 

 

Burying Jason in the sand. Even Devon helped.

 

Dad, Lana and Grandpa Anderson.

 

Tyson wanted to be buried in the sand too!

 

Corbin loved the sand too!

 

Such a big boy! He can now get into the chair by himself!

 

Playing peek-a-boo together.

 

Silly boys!

 

Hmmmmm......
