Mary hosted at her house, and we all contributed to the feast. I made the rolls, which if I say so myself, turned out quite nice. There was so much food, like most Thanksgiving dinners, and lots of reminiscing. Rochelle helped me make the curtain for the babies room, and got me started on the bumper. I am excited to be getting close to finished with my sewing projects for that room! The next day Rochelle, Mary, Tricia, and I headed out at 5:00 am to join the crowds for Black Friday shopping. We had a blast and spent lots of money! We may have started a new tradition of eating breakfast at IHOP. Rochelle held up to her reputation of returns, by returning something that she had bought that morning before we even left town. :) Luckily she did, because we realized that Sears had charged her for two docking stations when she had only bought one. Thanks to Morgan for watching the kids!Blake and Rhondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01702944153539295322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380063022184020410.post-38757430729807171502010-02-04T22:08:00.003-07:002010-02-04T22:14:06.587-07:00SUPERMAN To the Rescue!<div align="center">This year for Halloween we went to Oregon.

Preston even fell asleep on the combine.<br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA6Mp-JoJE25hQWp3HE00U0BixXBQ6MhrTmFAtDuSNYLCDTyiglp-ASXUBQ35eox-z-eUq5Zo9L7q4cqXp3k3aivBOaEVEHVER-u88VwHRbWWUAuG_8WwSjwEVl-cHxEXCs1B_91QBGvE/s1600-h/IMG_5121_0349.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434622292768166210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA6Mp-JoJE25hQWp3HE00U0BixXBQ6MhrTmFAtDuSNYLCDTyiglp-ASXUBQ35eox-z-eUq5Zo9L7q4cqXp3k3aivBOaEVEHVER-u88VwHRbWWUAuG_8WwSjwEVl-cHxEXCs1B_91QBGvE/s320/IMG_5121_0349.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj87XI-8zVqw_GinByarcpMwJ2vfG-C1moPDqxPOMv8v4aU8vpSgxYyYSBSo3LRP5na4RPQ9hRgz21jHkZBtXVbQS5PEU1RZzegS_obF6rkp4l4Dt9oUgINu6cAszUrsL5_xJQPNxwQQ-Y/s1600-h/IMG_5150_0376.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434622282699188018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj87XI-8zVqw_GinByarcpMwJ2vfG-C1moPDqxPOMv8v4aU8vpSgxYyYSBSo3LRP5na4RPQ9hRgz21jHkZBtXVbQS5PEU1RZzegS_obF6rkp4l4Dt9oUgINu6cAszUrsL5_xJQPNxwQQ-Y/s320/IMG_5150_0376.jpg" /> <p align="center"></a>You've got to love the bruise on Preston's forehead... a true superhero.<br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsa27OcrgXkhljUkApb1zyqdaHVGG95KZX-TY_-M8VnH-xK1Bef27ff9MAAoRqGN4gkY9A1iDWpkoOT-Df5qt2_YE-djE1YIuk232extv6r11evu7Y5bXDgXZumOv1CRnaFPVOCpXQqOs/s1600-h/IMG_5093_0321.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 251px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434622275475939746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsa27OcrgXkhljUkApb1zyqdaHVGG95KZX-TY_-M8VnH-xK1Bef27ff9MAAoRqGN4gkY9A1iDWpkoOT-Df5qt2_YE-djE1YIuk232extv6r11evu7Y5bXDgXZumOv1CRnaFPVOCpXQqOs/s320/IMG_5093_0321.jpg" /></a>Blake and Rhondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01702944153539295322noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380063022184020410.post-23158696503819025762010-02-04T16:06:00.004-07:002010-02-04T19:54:30.944-07:00Raegan's Room<div style="text-align: center;">Yes...

I am in love with how it warms the room and makes it feel so much cozier.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRNE5P-xo9dWIhsvMbIVN0yTc3JfvsC_-J9g8VrFmykA57idNvZj2Zik18LIOjv2V9hbSDGREUTYm1WWvAS1z8mF_O_9zY5fuVVVzxZ_UDxojuTJZXgZJl2rlm24CK7MOVic0Tm-jzJLI/s1600-h/CIMG2970.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRNE5P-xo9dWIhsvMbIVN0yTc3JfvsC_-J9g8VrFmykA57idNvZj2Zik18LIOjv2V9hbSDGREUTYm1WWvAS1z8mF_O_9zY5fuVVVzxZ_UDxojuTJZXgZJl2rlm24CK7MOVic0Tm-jzJLI/s320/CIMG2970.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434516962766741506" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQAfqQP1vnV4frnpHw93UPkD-So_bxVkLK6jLXMIRL3qXmD2UJvl2Hqd1IueFMBZNT0x3WXQT1n7GFVsyuaaDtW71xvWdwwHWy9YQFkyMayT6Qqy8yq0jh47D6YRMm_Jc3Ny_r1cfdJsM/s1600-h/CIMG2969.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQAfqQP1vnV4frnpHw93UPkD-So_bxVkLK6jLXMIRL3qXmD2UJvl2Hqd1IueFMBZNT0x3WXQT1n7GFVsyuaaDtW71xvWdwwHWy9YQFkyMayT6Qqy8yq0jh47D6YRMm_Jc3Ny_r1cfdJsM/s320/CIMG2969.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434516714925218562" border="0" /></a><br />I got a little creative with these ones above my kitchen sink... bamboo place mats stapled to a strip of wood (thanks Bryan for cutting it).<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBsiRSCkB2UERGmSedTp5X_YYFX7dGkJbTaSILjswtKckEkOwqtL_Qqi5yzznmXvxM6R-1HULiHXE6y4yDgzQ6ezZqgk405t3-ImLVRwrNAu78LSrkNaGnzakZwi53Nzr0KKxacRwWpm0/s1600-h/CIMG2968.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBsiRSCkB2UERGmSedTp5X_YYFX7dGkJbTaSILjswtKckEkOwqtL_Qqi5yzznmXvxM6R-1HULiHXE6y4yDgzQ6ezZqgk405t3-ImLVRwrNAu78LSrkNaGnzakZwi53Nzr0KKxacRwWpm0/s320/CIMG2968.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434516697666652994" border="0" /></a><br />After hanging these ones in the living room we had someone ask if we had gotten new couches.

We had a blast! Sterling and Lisa were able to come too. We had a house full. Rochelle brought her camper and stayed in Rexburg, and Robin made the trek as well. Everyone got here Sunday night and we made plans for Monday. What we decided to do was play kickball at Smith Park in Rexburg. It was so much fun! We were able to include everyone, from the 1 year old to the, well, my dad, I won't say how old he is :) The funniest part was Sterling kicked the ball and my dad tried to catch it. It bounced off his chest and hit Sterling, so he was out.

(the reddish brown trim) So <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">that's</span> when the wheels started turning. I told Blake that I wanted to paint it and he was, well, lets say less than impressed with my idea.

After about a half a mile Macie started to get a little fussy because she was tired and we didn't have her pacifier. So Preston's pacifier came to the rescue! After walking 4 or so miles we were looking as far as the road went and realized that they weren't coming back for us. We were unaware of how far everyone else was going, which ended up being 20 some miles. I ran back to the car and my mom and sister started back with the little ones. I literally just got to the car and Ellis came around the bend and picked me up... good timing I guess. As they loaded up the stroller my camera had fallen out of the stroller. I was so sad! Luckily on our way back we were able to find it, it was just enough on the side of the road so it didn't get run over!

One of the days that I don't like it is when it is time to clean out the vacuum cleaner. I am sure that many of you can relate to this. Just the other day I had to get a part for this machine so I took it into Rexburg to Vacuum Services and the guy pulled out the best tool for removing hair. It is like an exacto knife, but it has a hook instead of a straight razor. It took me 30 min to do what he did in 30 seconds! Thought I would pass the tid bit along.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqrsobbpNJJJRmmvgEHwT6cu7sAiTXcJk-Ix57TYPdHwpV3AsPfk60M4AMKjsh6RkarofBl-rg9NTkM5mC949xY9VzS12bTDKN9CnaaOaywiohO_9yf9YcOXSUVfgNPBClyOTTCD7xY9Q/s1600-h/010.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqrsobbpNJJJRmmvgEHwT6cu7sAiTXcJk-Ix57TYPdHwpV3AsPfk60M4AMKjsh6RkarofBl-rg9NTkM5mC949xY9VzS12bTDKN9CnaaOaywiohO_9yf9YcOXSUVfgNPBClyOTTCD7xY9Q/s320/010.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370071720534533122" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZKB8OzbMXYD_nAtzRCxoPOZvd9ntdPdPPwqapg1uhZHJCEKw8GQF6PzQGMiTL3gksucTY6_g67RLPxkpJEiBUavq5VsUwGrOWGBjxVMnQJ2EDEiJEsDaY7r7VzCaDVLCpKE0h8RJ4B0o/s1600-h/014.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZKB8OzbMXYD_nAtzRCxoPOZvd9ntdPdPPwqapg1uhZHJCEKw8GQF6PzQGMiTL3gksucTY6_g67RLPxkpJEiBUavq5VsUwGrOWGBjxVMnQJ2EDEiJEsDaY7r7VzCaDVLCpKE0h8RJ4B0o/s320/014.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370072274759357330" border="0" /></a><br />Another example of something that I love, but dislike at the same time.
