Big Oopsie and Thanksgiving '09

A lot has happened since I last really blogged about anything BUT I accidentally erased all of the pictures off of my camera. Scotty's birthday........Gone. Cute pictures of Korbin as he's growing......Gone. Pictures of Thanksgiving......Gone. Luckily I was able to "borrow" some Thanksgiving pictures from Derrick's sister Brianne's blog.

First, for journaling purposes, I'll write a little about Scotty's birthday. I got an idea from somewhere in blog land to decorate Scotty's door for his birthday. While he was sleeping I put up "Happy Birthday Scotty" posters, twisted streamers, and balloons. He was so excited to see that when he woke up in the morning. Then his Grandma Palmer came and took him to breakfast and shopping for birthday toys. She sure spoiled him with a cool Clone Trooper hat/mask thing and other cool toys. Later that evening, we had a quiet little family party. We went to eat at Barros Pizza (Scotty's favorite), came home and unwrapped presents, and ate Star Wars cake and cupcakes. Scotty got Star Wars figurines, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Iron Man Mega Blocks, a Hot Wheels Race Track, Bat Man shirt, and a few other small random things that I can't remember now.

Scotty had been to his cousin Rigley's birthday party right before Halloween and right after his birthday we drove by the park and someone was having a birthday party with one of those big blow up jumpy things. Scotty started to realize that maybe he had been ripped off a little in the birthday dept. So, he kept telling anyone who would listen that at his next birthday he was going to have a party at the park with a jumpy thing. He talked to his Grandma Palmer about it and she decided to let him pick one out for her to rent for Thanksgiving.

We went to Willcox for an early Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday night. My dad had an elk hunt that was starting Friday and wanted to get up to Alpine to get ready for that. We enjoyed that dinner with my parents and my sister Jodi's family. We drove back home that same night and then went to Thanksgiving with Derrick's family on Thanksgiving day. The Spiderman Jumpy thing was up and ready. The kids jumped all day and had so much fun. The adults enjoyed food and conversation.

The kids "eating." Not much eating was done before heading out to jump some more.

Thanksgiving was very enjoyable and even with two Thanksgiving dinners, I didn't gain any weight this time................can't say the same about Christmas though!
