Feliz Navidad...

Photo's...compliments of Hyrum & Courtney

Hyrum and Courtney accidentally left their camera at our home and so I decided to take advantage of it and post some of their darling photos taken over the past few months on my blog. (Hyrum said it's okay.)

Cute Zoey June.
Mom & baby sleeping...how precious!

I love this pictures of Zoey in her blessing dress and sticking out her tongue.

A proud daddy.

Zoey's first experience at a pumpkin patch.

We love Courtney's family! Here she is with her sister at the pumpkin patch.

This is so funny...or some of you may think it's cruel. While the guys were deer hunting Hyrum decided to hunt chipmunks instead. He made this trap and actually caught a chipmunk.

Also, while "deer hunting" the guys went fishing. Hyrum was successful as you can see.

Here is Hyrum with his chipmunk. He tied a small rope to it, like a leash, and he keep it around camp for a few hours. The chipmunk would go in and out of it's home (hole) in the ground. Hyrum eventually let it go and it was safe and sound at last. No harm done.

Brothers & cousins

Calvin, Brandon, Hyrum, Ryan, & Stephen.

Hyrum's reading the newspaper. Since when did they start delivering the newspaper to campsites?

This is Hyrum's best catch ever!
Courtney

Hyrum is busy looking for any site of a deer.

I LOVE Zoey's eyes! They are so big and dark.

Courtney made this darling beanie for Zoey.

Darling Zoey

Zoey was in her first production. She played the part of baby Jesus in her families Ward Nativity.

Isn't baby Jesus (Zoey)so cute!?

Once again, look at those big eyes.

Zoey is all dressed and ready to go to church.

Thanksgiving weekend

Thanksgiving has come and gone and here are photos to help us remember the good time that we had with family.

Ryan bought a new tent from Cabela's. It's a HUGE tent and it even has room for a wood burning stove in it too. Ryan didn't get the wood stove yet...that will come down the road I'm sure.
We celebrated Bronco's 3rd birthday while he was in town. He is so darling!

Lacey had some sparkler's that she wanted to share with Bayli and Bronco while they were in town. You would think it was the 4th of July, but it wasn't.

Bayli, Lacey, Ryan, & Bronco.

"Cool like Debbie"

Of course there is a story behind this creative shirt. Barbara (my sister) and I always say that our other sister Debbie is "too cool." She seems to be able to accomplish so much and she is talented in so many ways. We have observed that Kathi also accomplishes so much and she is talented in so many ways too, so we now say that "Kathi is cool like Debbie." So, being the cool person that she is, she created this t-shirt..."Cool like Debbie." Do you like it Debbie? Thanksgiving dinner with Harry (Bronco's Teddy Bear), Aspen, Bayli, and Kathy Plaster.

Aspen, Great-Grandma Gray, Bayli, & Bronco

Aspen and her Grandma Jan made these yummy turkey treats for Bayli and Bronco. Aren't they darling?

Bronco loves playing with cars.

Zoey..so cute!

Lacey and I got a kick out of walking by the bathroom and seeing Bronco there playing with his Leepster while going to the bathroom. (Kathi, if you want me to delete this picture, just let me know.)

Russell and Ryan went ice fishing on Friday and they brought back some fish. Ryan is cleaning a fish while Bronco is holding another one. Bayli is grossed out.

Lacey loves snuggling with her nieces and nephew.

Aspen & Bayli

Bayli helped me sew a Thanksgiving project.

When we were finished we filled them with mint patties.

Getting ready to start the gingerbread house.

Bayli and the gingerbread house.

Aspen brought her little 4-wheeler over on Saturday and we took it over to the empty field and the kids had fun riding it around.

Ryan & Bronco.

Ryan's just a little too big for this 4-wheeler but he had fun with Bronco anyways.

Bayli had a blast driving the 4-wheeler by herself.

Lacey really enjoys her nieces and nephews.

Bayli is giving Lacey a kiss good-bye early in the morning.

We had a great time with family, food, and fun.

I AM THANKFUL FOR FAMILY!
