Boo-radley's 33rd!

We celebrated Brad's 33rd Birthday on the 24th. It was great fun. It was a cake and climbing party. He finished the climbing wall in the garage so everyone was invited to enjoy a little climbing on his birthday. Mom and Dad's neighbors (the one with the cats) were getting rid of their old blue couch so Lib and Brad put it in their garage so that people could sit and watch. It worked great. We had a space heater in there too..and some hot chocolate. I didn't climb, but David C., David D, Brad, PJ, John, Doug and Annie all climbed. They played the game where you keep adding different holds to create a climbing sequence. If you fell off you were out. It was entertaining to watch.

Miles trying to climb, grunting and all.
David did really good..I will have some actual video for you soon.
Brad.. the best of all..he is like a little monkey..
Dave Dickson with his climbing skills..
Cicely and I had fun watching it all..

Lib made this great pumpkin cake from a recipe that she got when they got married. We brought the cake out and sang in the garage. It was fun times and of course we missed you!

Happy Turkey Day!

Shawn, Kathy and Zach came. Look how big and tall Shawn looks here. He has been working construction until the spring when he will get his mission call. Libby is excited to eat..

Perfect Thanksgiving feast.. The happy newlyweds. There weren's a lot of cousins this year, because it is the off year when everyone is visiting their in-laws..so it was kind of nice to have a smaller group.The lovely hosts sitting down after helping serve everyone..Happy 91st Birthday to Grandpa..I love this picture. Pumpkin cake for Grandpa's Birthday..I found the recipe in everyday food. It was great, I made it for practice and it turned out so good that I made it for Grandpa's Birthday. There was a lot leftover though because everyone had pie!
He did a good job blowing out his candles..Three generations

We played a round of Ticket to Ride with funny group, me, John (Brad's friend), Aunt Debbie, Matt and Brad.. Here Brad is explaining things to a pensive Matt..

We missed you..but it sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving. Good job on creating your own Turkey Run.. Love and miss you..

Happy #26 Davie!

At the Cheesecake Factory..Look we gave Mom a new Boston sweatshirt to replace her old standard.

Gathering together at the Cheesecake Factory. Luckily we put our names on the wait list at 3:30 pm and only had an hour wait!

Ahh the famous soap cake. Look how cute it is. Cicely did a good job, unfortunately it tasted like Tide.

So instead of cake we just finished off the cheesecake that we had ordered to take home.

David opening up our gifts.
We love you Aly!

Nikki says Hi

The day after the Temple on David's birthday, I went and got my hair cut. Nikki says Hello, and of course she did a great job on my hair!

I love Grandpa Cain

Well, I already told you about going to the Jordan River Temple with Grandpa Cain. Seriously, one of the best experiences that I have ever had. I loved it..Here we are after our day at the Temple. I was tired so you can imagine how Grandpa felt. Such a great day.

Good Times...

Well.. Our good times on this blog consist of eating out with various people and places. Here is Miles at the Citrus Grill last Monday, November 5th.. I met Mom and him and we thought the Citrus sounded good. I got the sweet potato chowder and Mom and I split a wrap and gave Miles our fries. It was the only thing safe that he could have. He loved them..ate them all up.

On that Wednesday, November 7th..we took Grandma and Grandpa Cain to Paradise Bakery. Every Wednesday it is our turn to bring dinner to Grandma and Grandpa or take them out. I don't think they had been here yet. They had a good time, the music was a little loud and Grandma asked them to turn it down which they did. It was good times..
Finally, eating out again last night for Annie's 28th Birthday. We met at Tsunami in Sandy. It was great and the food was good. Miles sat at the end of the table and entertained us with his signing skills and eating skills. Happy Birthday Annie!

I love you..love you..

I love you Aly! I recieved your birthday message on my birthday! I opened it this morning and started crying! I think it's setting in that I miss you more than anything, and would give anything to sit around and laugh with you! I love you, keep working hard!

Hi Sister...
