THANKSGIVING

For Thanksgiving we had a delicious meal cooked mostly by Gaila, we set the table with Grandma's china and used Braden and Sadie's crystal cups, it was very delicious...

Gaila made these homemade pumpkin and apple pies, they were heavenly!

Braden made these mashed potatoes... he sure knows how to make them!

Braden and Sadie's THIRD!

The baby girl was born this morning weighing in at 7 lbs. 11 oz. and was 19 in. long.

Dallin's Home!

Dallin got home from Pennsylvania on Thursday, we are all very excited! Me (Caitlin) and Dallin hung out all day Friday, we went to the movies, and instead of seeing a movie we decided to get in photo booth and take pictures....

We couldn't figure out when the camera was taking the pictures, hence the weird pictures, don't ask me what Dallin is doing in the last one, sometimes he acts like a nerd.

Air Pressure over Oxygen

In space, there is no air pressure, thus, you could explode before being suffocated.

Why do water balloons not pop when you throw them on someone?

Caitlin, Levi, and Olivia decided to have a waterfight, so they got out the waterballoons, took many hours to fill them up and decided to get wet. Only Olivia wasn't so happy about getting wet and decided to grab the smallest pink water balloon she could find and hold it like it was a baby. The water balloons lasted about a minute and then Levi and Olivia filled the cooler up and stood in that, Caitlin got smart and got Levi his own personal swimming pool...in a bucket. I know, very ghetto compared to what we used to go swimming in.

WE WILL BE BETTER!

So, our blog has been left neglected many times, and hopefully we will be better. But I just need to give updates on everyone:
Courtney and Marc-live in Texas and are loving it
Braden and Sadie-moved minutes away from us and we love it
Whitney-has only six months left on her mission and is a great missionary, here is a part of her last letter,
"This week was a good one. The family that we have didn't go to church yesterday and I don't know why. They sure never will progress unless they go to church. But I know they will go this next week. It's really the mom and the one of the daughters that we are focusing on as the father is definately not humble enough right now to accept that Christ was not an alien. So there is a song on right now that once upon a time I used to listen to and I can't believe how spiritless it is! Man I am quite offended! Anyway, my companion is doing well and I am working on alot of things to help me draw closer to my savior. I have found myself thinking alot lately of the power of faith. Faith like a mustard seed can move mountains. That should tell me where my faith is. Luckily I don't need to move any mountains, but if I did would I be able to? I hope so."
Bryce-living in Texas and is working for the University of Phoenix
Dallin-living in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania selling alarm systems, trying to save money for his mission.
Caitlin-just turned 16 and is the only one left at home. She hates it.
Hal-turned in his application to the University of Pheonix
Gaila-Just signed up to go to shool at University of Pheonix.
