Thanksgiving 09

I'm still trying to catch up from Thanksgiving!

We left Saturday afternoon and stopped in Pocatello for the night.
It was fun to meet Hudson for the first time. He is a month younger than Henson, but I'm pretty sure he is going to pass him up pretty quick! {Just look at his daddy!}

We went to church with Hill's on Sunday... it was so fun to go back to our old ward and see some of our friends that are still there ;)

After our stay in Poky we headed to Great's house in good ole' IF for an early Thanksgiving dinner with my family. It wasn't the traditional meal... much better if you ask me!

Monday we did some shopping and headed out to my parents for the night.
I cut the guys hair and gave Brody a new do too :)

Tuesday I {finally} got my hair done!
My mom had an Open House for Henson. It was fun to visit with friends and family!
{Of course I forgot to take pictures with the guests}
{Tydon went out with grandma to feed the horses}
Wednesday we headed out to Mud Lake for the rest of the weekend.
A few of the highlights...

*Yummy Food

*Treats

*Bridal Shower

*Henson's blessing

Monday we headed home to unpack and get ready for family to come our way...
Tuesday two of Gord's nieces went through the Mt. Timpanogas temple. It was so awesome to be there to support them. I love going to the temple, especially when you get to be with family.

December 3rd was the big day for this cute couple!
They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. The sealing was beautiful! I am so grateful I was able to attend and be reminded of the vows and covenants that I have made to my best friend.

Before the reception we went to Thanksgiving Point and drove through the ligts...
Then we visited the LIVE reindeer ;)

It was freezing!

The reception was fun.
Look at this handsome little guy!

When they turned the music on for the couple's dance I looked over and found Tydon and Berkli up on the stage...

More updates to come....

What a week...

Last week was the Lehi Round-Up so there were several fun activities throughout the week.
We started Monday off at "Lehi's Got Talent" in the park. We ate Fried Chicken (yum!) and watched the finalists compete.Tuesday I had my Glucose Test (glad to get that over with) and my 25 Week appointment! I can't believe how fast time goes. We really need to start getting things ready for this little guy. We haven't come up with a name we love yet and the nursery is still pretty empty...
Wednesday morning we went to Play Group. The weather was so nice last week! The kids ran through the sprinklers and played in the kiddie pool. Tydon was loving it!!
Then we went home ate some lunch and got our swim suits on for some more water fun. We went to the outdoor pool with Corbin, Cambry and Brinley (Gord's nieces and nephew) Tydon LOVES his cousins and I appreciate their help :)
Thursday morning I took Tydon to Storytime at the Lehi Library. I was so impressed with the lady! He loved all the fun books and songs they sang... there are so many fun activities for kids here, Tydon loves it. After the library we went home and changed into our swim suits again for more water fun at the Legacy Center. They have a SUPER fun indoor/outdoor pool, the best I've seen for little kids. Tydon's friends Tylee and Porter came to swim. So fun!
After a fun day of swimming we headed home to pack for a quick trip to Idaho. My cute cousin Oakley got married Friday morning in the Rexburg, ID temple.
I love getting to see my cousins...
Tydon and Great-Grandma Sharlene (My dad's mom)
Later that afternoon it POURED rain! Tydon said, "mom look a waterfall." It was running off the house pretty steady for a while.
Saturday we got to spend a few hours with "Great" and then we were back on the road home to see daddy. Gord has been super busy with work lately so he wasn't able to go home with us. We got home early enough to go to the Lehi Rodeo.
We got lucky with close parking and great seats! Gord flipped burgers the night before so we got in for FREE... always love that :) It was a pretty good rodeo.

Bareback...
Barrells...
Clowns...
Cute Cowgirls...
Team Roping...
Bulls...
and exciting entertainment... 2 Canadian Motocross guys. One even did a BACK FLIP!!
Tydon LOVED it!!
We forgot how much fun Rodeos are... probably because we haven't been forever ;)
At the end they let the rest of the horses and bulls out to run the arena... one of my favorite parts.
Last night we went to my dad's brother's for dinner and games. I finally got to meet up with one of my cousins that I hadn't seen for years!! Him and his cute fiance are getting married in July.
What a week! Now it's time to play catch up and get ready for another long weekend! Yay!!

Fun with the Wood Fam

Last weekend was a BLAST!

Gordon's sister Teri and her family came Thursday night to stay for the weekend. That meant 6 extra people staying at our house. Quite the PARTY!!

The weather was AMAZING for a February day so the kids played outside on the playground by our house.

These boys had a BLAST!! Glad none of them were seriously injured.

I love Gordon's family so much! They are all so much fun to be around and I'm so grateful to be a part of such a close family. Hope to see them all again real soon!
