Thanksgiving -- better late than never

Grandma in The Kitchen

It is Christmas time and that means baking time. But where is all the help? Oh; that is right the all went home to Utah!!

Look,they came to the rescue.

Wait..I think Trevor needs to be rescued from the frosting...

We had fun frosting and eating cookies; there were just a few left for Santa.

There is always a first time!

Lily lost her first tooth yesterday! We were just hanging out and Lily had a play phone in (yes in) her mouth and then she yelled out -- "What happened to my tooth?!" And there on the floor was her tooth!



Barry had a first too -- he went poop on the potty for the first time! I think it was just a fluke since her wont do it again but hey it's a start right! ?

Four nights in a row and counting!

Trevor has been doing this all night long for four nights in a row! For the first year and a half of his life, his record was 2 nights in a row. It's about time! Chris and I are are in a state of euphoria!

(While taking this picture the flash ALMOST woke him up.. ooops.)

Halloween

Dan and the kids carved the pumpkin.

Rachel was angel and Chase was a Power Ranger.

BOOOOOOO!

Here we are having a festive Halloween -- Jack-o-Lanterns and all!

All Worn out

This is Elicia as we were driving home and she fell asleep still eating her candy.

Halloween 2007

Here are the kiddo's for Halloween. We had dinner with some friends and then went trick or treating. For some reason. The only picture I got with all my kids together was the group one.

Dylan was an Army Man
Elicia a Leopard
Trevor a Lion

Raking in Twin Falls

Here are a few picture from our trip. We had such a good time. The weather was perfect and so was teh company. The kids just love going to grandma house. The drive wasn't too bad either -- which gives me hope for Thanksgiving.

So Whatcha Gonna Be?

What is everyone going to be tonight for Halloween? This morning got off to a roaring start as I tried to get breakfast in everyone, costumes & make-up on, lunches made and drive the carpool to school. Here is the low down for the Udalls. I'll post some photos tomorrow. Alli is being a teenager, Cole is the Grim Reaper, Lily a fairy princess, Will is a mean pirate and Barry a clown (or was that Cord?).

The kids have a Halloween Carnival at school today and Will gets to go on a hay ride at preschool. Symonie and her two kids are coming down for trick-or -treating (Matt has to work) and Cords parents are coming over too. So I am making a big pot of chili and scones for Navajo tacos. I hope everyone has a great night!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Thanksgiving Plans

The Udall Clan has decided to make the trek to California for Thanksgiving. We are hoping the age of our children will make the trip a bit easier than last time. Of course we have the DVD player and gameboy -- Alli has her ipod and we have a satalite radio, so we can have as little contact with each other as possible. :) And I won't forget the Dramamine, LOTS of Dramamine!

We are really excited to be heading west for a holiday! Kim & Chris we hope you will be there too and that we won't have to meet at the McDonalds in Winnemucca. Dan and Jen... are you up for some turkey with the Canning Clan?

Hope you are all enjoying fall. The leaves are turning and it's beautiful here!

Heidi

OWWWWCH -- That's gotta hurt!

This morning Alli called me from school to say that in Clothing the sewing machine needle went through her finger! She wanted to know if I could bring her some Tylonol.

My stomach felt sick and I curled my toes! I went and got her and sure enough the needle had hit her fingernail and slid to her cuticle and then went straight through!

So we got it cleaned up she took some Tylonol and then she wanted to go back to school.

Dan Canning Family

It has been a long time since Dan, Jen and the kids have been in picture together. Here's one taken in July.

I left my heart in San Francisco

I LOVE San Francisco!
Cord and I had such a great time in California -- here are a few pictures from our adventure.






















































Look who else was in the city!

Quilt Show

I went a quilt show at the Springville Art Museum and so I thought I would share a few of my favorites -- Someday maybe I will this good!
