Thanksgiving





I can't believe how quickly we went from Sept and school starting to Thanksgiving! Everyone was here for that great day but Ari who is on a mission in Texas. After dinner I had everyone write Ari a little note on some cute paper decorations that Ivie made for me! I saw this idea where you make a paper Christmas tree out of butcher paper, green of course, and cut it out like a tree...well, thanks to Ivie this came together without pain or cussing....she did a fabulous job cutting it out and making the ornaments...so as I said we sat around and filled them out and I sent them to Ari, she has received them and was so excited that we all came together and did that for her so a big thanks to everyone who was patient with me and did this (cos it meant a lot to me and you all come through when things mean a lot to me) and for letting me take pictures of y'all as Ari would say. It will be interesting to hear her new Texas accent! Also one of the big things that happened this month was that Doug and Ammon got Solae's car finished!!!! Can you hear the cheering going on??? Well, this car has been in the drive way for 2 years!! The parts we needed for it took that long to get a hold of. Ammon and Doug spent alllllll summer working on it and now it runs like a charm!! This is their picture in the car, they call it the Flintstone mobile! Solae' is so excited to have her little baby back, it's a cute little car, an Areo......congratulations Solae'.....a ring a car and a wedding coming up in March....
Kevin won the Achmed award...he did a great drawing on his ornament! I put bows on everyones pictures that I sent to Ari along with the ornaments....

October ...great news!


Well I'm just going to do a quick catch up! Where has time gone? I don't know but I lost 2 months!
Kevin and I had a nice b'day! We spent a weekend in Salt Lake and stayed with Solae' and Farrari. It was a lot of fun. I ended my Sept blogging before Solae' and Eric got engaged on the 19th (which happens to be my sister Marias b'day) He popped the question while at temple square. We knew it was going to happen and we are very excited for them. Eric is a great guy and is a great addition to our ever extending family! Welcome to the nut house Eric...hold on....life with the Phillips' will be fun :)
