Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! We had dinner at our new house! I was pretty nervous to cook Thanksgiving dinner, seeing as I had never done it before. I really do love to cook, so it was actually a lot of fun! The most nerve-wracking part for me was the cooking of the turkey. I looked online at several sites to see the best way to cook a turkey and it turned out surprisingly delicious! The whole dinner turned out great! (thinking about it right now is making my mouth water!) Cortney carved his first  turkey - it was cute, ha ha! My parents came over for dinner, so it was just us 4. It was nice to have a low-key Thanksgiving! The weather was also beautiful that day. Overall, it was a nice, relaxing holiday!

During Thanksgiving weekend, those still at home for the weekend got together at my sister's house for some grub and good times. 

Good times, as usual, were definitely had! We love our family! 

My Gui-tar man

My hubby loves to play the guitar. Whether it's an electric or acoustic, he could play them for hours on end. He is very talented when it comes to playing the guitar. He also knows which songs are my favorite and which songs work best for woo-ing purposes. :) And another plus - he is very handsome when he plays...

I sure do love my gui-tar man!

State Volleyball

I had the great opportunity to go watch my niece play at the state volleyball tournament. Their volleyball team is awesome! They work so well together and it is fun to watch them play. They truly are a great example of an efficient team who is great at teamwork.  They didn't win state this year, but gave it their all. 

 Go Trojans!

Fall Biking

  I love the fall (especially in Utah)! The colors have been so rich this year!

The best time of year for mountain biking is definitely in the fall. My friend Nikki and I took advantage of the time of year and headed out on the bikes!

 

 So gorgeous!

M's Baptism

Last weekend, my beautiful niece decided to take one of the steps to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was baptized.....

It was a beautiful service and it was so neat to see the sweet smile on her face as she came out of the water!

 It was also great to have a lot of family there to support her in her decision. Everyone was there but one of my brothers and his family.

 Afterward, we celebrated at her house with awesome treats and snacks!

 The babies were fun to have around as well!

  

I am so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! I am also very grateful that M made the decision to follow the example of Jesus Christ.
