Turkey Day=Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. We went to my Aunt Kellies house for dinner along with my cousin Kody, my Mom, Dad and little brother Eric and the Hepworths. I couldn't let them spend Thanksgiving alone at their house so I invited them to come and hopefully they had a good time. We ate a delicious dinner and went around the table so everyone could take a turn telling what they were thankful for. I don't remember what everyone else was thankful for and I know I have a lot of things to be thankful for but at that moment when it was my turn to tell what I was thankful for the first thing that came to my mind was mashed potatoes and gravy. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. They are so delicious. I probably love them more when I am pregnant as I love all food more when I am preggers. Next year I will come up with something better to be thankful for. This year it's potatoes. I'm from Idaho!!!
After dinner we went to Wheeler Farm which is one of my fav spots in the valley. I guess its more of that Idaho in me coming out because I love to be around all the animals and I want my kids to have those experiences as much as possible as well. I am so glad they like it as much as I do!


A brief family photo. We have not had a family photo
in a while

My kids (actually what kids don't love him?)
and now the Hepworth boys love Eric and think he is
soooooooooo much fun. It's because he wrestles with them.
Who knew wrestling was the way to be popular with
the kids?


We love little piggies and me and Kate
especially love how they taste when they grow up!

Isaac obviously elated with the fact he is holding a goose.
I wasn't aware my Aunt Kellie was a goose whisperer.

"Hold your hand out like this."


A gaggle if I have ever seen one.

Ella and the goose whisperer.

I can't remember what her last name was, (Rachel Green?) The one that lived in Hibbard with us and has two kids now and is single. Anyways we live in Arizona and have been here 10 years. I understand how you feel about the pregnant thing. I had to go to my 10 year high school reunion 8 months pregnant, not fun. I am so glad to see your family in photos, they are gorgeous girls! I havn't talked to Brittney. If you can, send her my blog link so that I can check hers out since it's blocked! I'll keep checking in on you!
