Thankgiving weekend continued.....

On the way home from Arizona we stopped in Beaver and stayed at my mom's house. We got there just before bed and this was Bridger sleeping in the car. He always looks so uncormfortable.
Then the kids join Grandma LeeAnn and Grandpa Dennis for a bedtime story. At the end up the story the kids were still awake, but not Grandpa Dennis.
Oh, ya and one of Aunt Jamee's stuffed animals had to join Jacoy.
This was a wonderful trip and we were blessed that we were able to take it. We also were able to see Grandpa Marshall, Grandma Ann, and Grandma Nor (these are all of my grandparents). I wanted to get a picture of my Grandma Nor, but she was having one of her bad days even though she stole a new pair of shoes from my Aunt Penny. She is having more bad days than good. We love you Grandma Nor. We were also able to see Grandpa Pat.

Then we had one more stop on the way home and we were able to see Grandma Jane (Matt's other grandma) and Spook (her dog). We saw all of the Grandma's, Grandpa's, Great-Grandma's, and Great Grandpa on this trip. We were so blessed.

Thanksgiving in Arizona

This year we were lucky enough to go to Arizona and see all of the family. We haven't seen them for quite awhile and we were excited. This was the first time that we saw Matt's sister Jenni's little girls. Kacie is very tiny still even though she is about nine months old. Jacoy has been so excited to have a girl cousin. She was counting down the days until we got to see her. Of course she wanted to see all of the boy cousins as well. Matt's parents have 10 grandsons and 2 granddaughters.

She is such a happy little girl. Jacoy would go up to Aunt Jenni and ask her if she could hold Kacie. Then off they went. Even Dad got to hold Kacie but he had to hold Jacoy as well. He would swing they back and forth and both girls would be laughing.And for those of you that know Bridger know that he has had a phobia of babies for a long time, but he even loved her. He would hold her and hug her.

This is Nana's chair and no they weren't supposed to be playing on it, but I couldn't miss taking a picture could I??? Ryan is holding onto the back while Tyler and Bridger try to make him fall off.
This is Jenni's youngest boy Mckay. Isn't he cute?! Grandma Vicki and Jacoy worked on this puzzle after we ate dinner.
This is Matt's cousin Gina's newest little boy, Bryant. He is barely a week old here. He was so tiny. When you would ask Abby, his older sister who is a month younger than Bridger, what her new baby brothers name was she would say, "I don't know. He doesn't have a name." It was so funny.

This is a picture of all of the kids there. Back Left to Right: Grant holding Kacie, Ryan, Garrett holding Bryant, and Jackson standing . Front Left to Right: Abby, Mckay, Jacoy, Bridger, and Tyler. Abby, Jackson, and Bryant are Gina's kids, Matt's Cousin. The others are Matt's sister Jenni's and our two.

This is Odessa, Matt's cousin. Hey, even I got to hold Kacie.

This is Grandpa Marc and Grandma Vicki with the kids.

This is Nana, Matt's grandma. Thanks Nana for letting us celebrate Thanksgiving at your house and for letting us stay there too.

Thanks Jenni and John for letting us spend a night at your house as well. Sorry, that we arrived at 2:00 in the morning and couldn't spend more time with you. We all wished that we lived closer together.

We were only missing Matt's sister Becci and her family. We wished that we could have seen them as well.

Radiator Springs???

Could it be? Could there really be a Radiator Springs like in the movie Cars?This place kind of resembles the cozy cone motel....right? If you look closely at the cars they have been parked there for a while. Some have flat tires and some are on blocks.

Look "Tow Mater" got a nice red paint job. Well, that is what we told the kids, and no this is not Radiator Springs. This is actually Holbook, AZ. We travel through here on the way to see Nana, Matt's Grandma.
This is actually the Wigwam Motel. You can actually stay there. We did not see Lightning McQueen or Sally because they were off making a new movie...just ask our kids. You never know who or what you will see when you are in Arizona.
