Finally

I finally got it working. I'm not sure what was up but here we are! Our week was nuts. Last week I decided to go to Kanab on Sunday night so Chad could have a few days to get caught up at home. BIG MISTAKE. The weather wasn't too bad but people don't know how to slow down in the snow so there were like fifteen accidents from I-70 to Beaver (about twenty miles) The kids and I were stuck on the freeway for 3 hours! It was amazing. Really. Worst trip ever. Angels were with us because it could have been a lot worse. The kids did okay thank goodness for DVD players. When they started getting restless we just put on our snow stuff and played in the snow! What normally takes 4 hours took us almost ten. argh....

Finally at Grandmas! Gracie and Anna painting their nails

Ohh baby Carsyn. I love this gal!

What is a trip to Kanab without some Junction take out?

Of course Grandma bought the kids matching jammies. Grace and Anna put them on quick and ate their ice cream.

Baby James started pulling this stink face. It was hilarious!

The day before Thanksgiving. Let the baking begin!

Lex got her clip in extensions and we all just had to try them on.

By far my fav pic

James and Mike

Dax got to spend Thanksgiving with us this year! It was so fun to have these little boys play together. We can't wait for Dexton to come join them!

The kids table (I love that the girls are playing cards and the boys are on the Ipad)

Grandpa and James

Chase chugging some lemon juice.

Aunt Rhonda and Ty. We missed Hayden this year!

I was in charge of Yams this year. I didn't find out until after I made them that it was an option to buy them in a can.

Dax man

Waiting for the big dinner!

For some reason this is one of the Cutler family's favorite past times. Find a camera and take as many silly pics as you can. I only posted three.

My cute mamma.

Again with the stink face. (James, not Casey)

Chad wishing he could sit at the kid table

The feast! And yes that is gravy in that silver pot.

Everyone in attendance! (minus me)

Clayton literally passed out after dinner

Clean up!

Nap time. (me, Casey, Kenna and Chase) You can't even see Casey but she is right next to me.

Bingo! The kids were intense

I love this pic because of the background people

Raking leaves to play in!

Also, Chad turned 30 on the 28th!! Crazy. I feel so bad I didn't get more pictures! I was too in the moment I guess. His big gift was we signed him up for flight school! His first flight is on Thursday. He is pretty stoked! Even though it scares me to death I know he'll do awesome! I Love you babe!


Chad reading his picture book we made. 30 reasons we love him.

Opening the book that says Pilot 2011

It was a really fun week! I'm glad it's over. Bring on Christmas.

Attention anyone who cares!

I Caved. I sat down to update tonight but MY CORD WON'T WORK! How annoying. I promise and update is coming.. Things to look forward to:

Oh man... so much to look forward to.

Also, If you don't live in walking distance of me, I will be sending you a Christmas card. We just got our photos done by the phenomenal Sara Boulter and I wan't you all to drool in jealousy. And I'll whip up a clever poem too. So send me yer address. Here is my email so if you are paranoid like my friend Liz other people won't see it.

Love you guys!

Haaallllloooweeeeennn

We had a pretty good Halloween this year. I LOVE Halloween but for some reason I was in a funk this year. We didn't do most of the stuff I wanted to and I didn't even get out all of my decor. I don' t know what my deal is! But we still had fun. The weather was terrible so we did a trunk or treat inside. I hate trunk or treats because I think you have to work for your candy, but it was so cold I didn't put up too much of a fight. It was still fun!

I told the kids they had to fill up on veggies before the could fill up on candy!
Gracie going to school in her costume

Carving pumpkins. Mike loved it.

Chad, not so much.

Our new addition. Google TV. We have been talking about a new tv for FOUR years. We finally broke down.

Family pic. Gracie the Cat, Chad the cop, Mike the Spiderman and me the convict.

Leave it to my daughter to hurry and eat her candy before it was even over.

Dallin and Addy. Cute little neighbors.

Gracie and dad checking out the loot. Grace called Grandma Lydia to tell her all about her night.

Happy Halloween!!
