Thanksgiving #25

I really meant to blog yesterday but just didn't get around to it cause I was too busy celebrating Thanksgiving! Yesterday, and every day, I am so thankful for my family. We were able to have family members to our house yesterday for a glorious meal. I am so thankful they were all able to come.
I am thankful for Rick's family as well. They have always treated me as if I were born into the family. They are so much fun to be around.
I am so thankful we live close to so many family members and love those who don't live near us. We wish we were able to see them more but thankfully we have Facebook, YouTube and the InterWebs

I Fell Off the Wagon ~ Or Maybe I Have Actually Been Busy

I haven't been as good lately as I used to be at posting. Or maybe I am actually better because I am not posting like 3-5-10 times a day!

We have had a lot of things going on here over the last two months and over the last week or two I have gotten to the point where I have just felt like watching tv at night rather than anything else. I still read some of my friends blogs, but admittedly not all of them anymore. I guess one could call this depression where I lose interest in the things I like to do. Probably. But don't worry, it is nothing that I am going to wallow in or really even discuss publically. Yes that was a ramble...

ANYWAY~ I have a few fun photos to post and shareOn this past Sunday we celebrated our next to the youngest great nephew's birthday. Tucker turned 2 and he had all sort of Choo Choos I crack myself up!

(His baby brother is the youngest who turned 2 months old the day before). It was a fun Sunday afternoon hanging out with Rick's young brother's family. One of which is our youngest Nell niece who will be 17 in January. She reminds us of Violet in The Incredibles. She wears her hair the same and she even talks like she. She looked up a little too late to realize I was taking her photo.

Nell Family Reunion

Today was my father in law, Jack's 85th birthday. Tomorrow is my mother in law, Marion's 85th birthday. To celebrate, all 6 of their children and their spouses went to their house for an afternoon of chatting and eating. I had so much fun!
It was my first time meeting Rick's older brother Dave. He was so very nice. I was fun to see how each of them interacted with each other. I am so very proud of all of them for being adults and getting along even though some had not talked for many years.
Rick and I bought a tripod and I was able to get the self timer work on my camera so we were able to have a photo with everyone in it! I also had my mom's camera with me. I have decided she doesn't take enough photos to deserve it and that I should keep it for myself. =) (It is a Nikon SLR of some sorts)
After Rick and I drove down to Saratoga Springs to look at the floor plan of a house. When we got there the place was all locked up. We were both irritated because of spending the gas and to have no one there even though they were supposed to be open until 5:00. Sheesh!
I was able to spend time at the pool again yesterday. There were some people from our ward there and I actually spent time in the pool. It was a lot of fun. I hope to get in a lot of pool time during the up coming long weekend.
Rissa is coming home this weekend and I am excited to see her. I am going to try and take a day off work to be with her.
I also look forward to talking with Maddy tomorrow to find out how Drew's birthday was and how their excursion was.
All in all, it was another great weekend!
