Thanksgiving

My side of the family took off a little bit before Thanksgiving but Jonny's parents stayed.  Yay!  Last year Jonny's parents and Jonny and I went to Branson.  This year we wanted to but things would be a little more difficult with a baby so we decided to just stay here.  Thursday we cooked dinner and then cleaned up to go shopping.  Naomi LOVED "Black Thursday?" shopping as does her mom.  She was strapped onto me in a baby bjorn and people watched the whole time.  She zonked once we hit the car.  I wish I would have taken a picture but I didn't even think of it until after we had already left. 

Friday morning, I would have loved to get up early and go shopping but a couple reasons: 1.) didn't really do my research, 2.) there are no stores in Russellville, and 3.) sleep is too precious these days.  Instead, Jonny and Jon got up and went golfing and Lynnette and I slept in and then went to Hobby Lobby and got material to make some headbands.  I wish I was better and more motivated to sew because while Lynnette was here, she made a blessing dress plus two other church dresses and 5 headbands, 3 for me and 2 for my cousins baby, Ivy.  I wish I was better. :/  one day maybe...

Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving...

 

Naomi's first Thanksgiving!

Family time

Just wanted to post a few pictures from when our family was here.

We took a trip up to Mt. Nebo, which in Utahians eyes, is more like Hill Nebo but still.  It was very pretty and there were a lot of fall colors which were so pretty. 

 

Missing is Chelsea, Naomi and my mom because the two little ones were asleep in the car so my mom stayed with them.  Ps look how absolutely gorgeous my little niece Lexi is!

Blessing time

I love baby blessings and it is ten times better when it is your own.  Jonny did a wonderful job blessing Naomi.  I am blessed to have such a wonderful and spiritual husband to be able to do the blessing and be prompted to say the things he said.  How did I ever get so lucky?

Family arrived on Nov 9 starting with Jonny's mom, Lynnette.  After her came my mom on the 11th, my dad, sister Jessica and her two kids on the 12th and then Jon on the 14th.  We had a house full and there was definitely never a dull moment.  7 adults and 3 kids staying in a 1200-1300 sq ft house is crazy.  Thanks to everyone that came and made memories with us.  It means a lot to us and I know to Naomi too!

Our good friends to Pilkingtons also came Sunday morning to the blessing.  It was so special to have them there since they are like a second family to us.  Here are some pictures from the day of her blessing.

Naomi's first Halloween

Yep.  I'm WAY behind.  But I don't want to not post about these things.  So here it goes...

This was Naomi's first Halloween.  No we didn't go Trick or Treating because that would be silly.  Everyone would know that Naomi can't eat the candy and that I would just be eating it myself.  So we just got dressed up inside and took some pictures.  And then Naomi slept.  It was a pretty awesome Halloween.  Don't get me wrong...I am so excited for the years to come because Halloween is one of my favoritest holidays. :)

Here was Naomi's "day" outfit and her Halloween outfit.  She was our little pumpkin :)

 

"What is this thing"

 

"Huh?"
