Thanksgiving 2011

We were not very good at taking pictures of our friends and family on this trip....Hence the lack of pictures with the aunts and uncles, and some our friends.  But, we DID spend QT with the family, and shared laughs with our friends, and had a really great time!
Grandpa & Oliver stacking cups...
Oliver & Jace-playing catch
This pose of Oliver makes me laugh - he is such a funny guy!
 
Lincoln LOVES this piano!  He loves to play "Scary" music and watch Stan & Chantal be "scared".





Pie!!!


This is just CREEPY!
I could not get Oliver to hold still for this picture, so I picked the one where Stan and Chantal look best.








Thanksgiving 2011 - The Road Trip

We were lucky enough to be able to spend a whole week in Utah with Grandma & Grandpa Jensen. AND we didn't drive all-night-straight-through-from-East Mesa-to-Eagle Mountain! We spent the night in Page, AZ on the way there and Kanab, UT on the way back.


We drove through Zion National Park on the way to Eagle Mountain, Utah. Lincoln was literally awestruck as we drove through the park.  He kept saying "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!"


















No river walk is complete with out throwing rocks in the water.

Halloween 2011

It was Halloween ALL month at our house.  You're soooo jealous huh?  The festivities got kicked off early with the celebratory Halloween t-shirts and jammies.



In mid-October, we went to a fair put on by the school Monica's cousin Nelay works for.  They had all kinds of games, activities, animals, and a variety of different bouncy houses to fit your fancy.  Linc and O's friends Olivia and Emma came along with us.





Hey look!  An emu!

Since Linc was going to be Flynn Rider for Halloween, I told him he was riding Maximus.  You can tell by the expression on his face that he totally believed me. 



How do you keep kids occupied at a fair?  Popcorn!




I was rather impressed with his good throwing form.  Notice the blue beanbag sailing swiftly thrown through Jack O's mouth!  That's worth a bag of laffy taffies alone!






On the train, you'll notice Lincoln slyly putting his arm around Olivia.


Lincoln as Flynn Rider and doing it better than Flynn Rider

And of course, no Halloween wouldn't be complete without spooky Jell-O jigglers!





BOO!
