Arizona
Then there was thanksgiving dinner -which was so yummy and enjoyable - because me being the kind of selfish mom that i am i let gracie nap right through dinner so that i could enjoy it and then woke her up after i was done - i know sad - but i got to sit through dinner and enjoy it so it was worth it in the end - anyhow here is gracie eating her thanksgiving dinner all by herself - but enjoying it none the less
After dinner gracie was playing and her new favorite thing right now is to do hair -well my hair is not as fun to do because it wasn't as long as chelseas -anyhow chels was so patient she sat there for at least a half an hour as gracie combed her hair and would try to pull it into a pony tail - it was so cute and funny The other fun thing about this week was watching gracie and addy play together - it was so cute -in fact it became not so cute -when gracie screamed her brains out for a half an hour because addy left to go home - still i love this second picture it just looks like a mom feeding a baby bird - but really it was gracie getting the biggest kick out of getting addy to smileMy other FAVORITE thing about going to arizona besides seeing grandma and grandpa is going to sedona and going hiking :) although it was so sad because i was looking so forward to going but gracie -who was definetly sleep deprived - went into major temper tantrum mode- it was so sad and funny at the same time because when we got out of the car she wanted me and only me to carry her-well i informed the child that she was old enough to walk herself and so she through herself at me and screamed and screamed and screamed -well everybody but mom and dad started up the hike -anyhow it was almost embarressing because here we are in beautiful and serene nature and then gracie screaming like a banshee for about 20 minutres all the while trying to rock climb up my legs -anyhow after 20 minutes i finally gave up and so we walked half dragged gracie back to the car and put her in the carseat where she proceeded to scream her brains out again for the next 15 minutes finally she calmed down enough and she wanted out of the car badly enough that walking didn't seem like such a bad idea after all - anyhow it was quite the parently experience ahahah-but after she had calmed down we tried to catch up with everyone and gracie hiked for about a mile all by herself -well grandpa helped keep her happy - but it was a lot of fun in the end

halloween party
i love the halloween party we have every year -and this year the johnsons side came to which made it even more fun because i had both sides of my family around for the fun-
well every year we do it and we always dress up- and give out prizes- and have dinner, donuts on a string-check out the slide show the pictures are so funny-i love the one of my cousin michael just eating the string- and then we play bunko for prizes -it is a lot of fun
this year we had three categories for prizes- the scariest, funniest, and best
my mom had the scariest, tom was the funniest, and then madelyn and olivia won the best overall-but everyone dressed up great this year
I will see if i can get everyone starting on the top left -uncle jim as dilbert - aunt jean as wendy, as in the fast food- tanner as the eighties kid, you have to love the pants with the fanny pack - chelsea as the hawaiian babe - tom as mose, from the office, he looked just like him, it was weird - melissa as darby- and she is holding olivia who is obviously Pooh - Alex as some sort of log person i think - ben was the headless man - i was a princess - holding gracie who was a dragon - layne a football player, his wife bobbisue a cheerleader - ely as a pretty good looking pregnant batman - naomi as a football player - bob as the referee -
next row - brooklyn as a witch - mom as some freaky looking spider lady, she had this huge spider crawling over her back - kaylee as super kaylee - madelyn as tigger - breanna as a cheerleader - amare as a witch - and then the two lying on the grass - rachel as a baby and jacob as spider man -
then in the slides you can see mel and mitch who came a little late- mel was an elephant, addy as a tiger and mitch as a zoo keeper, which i didn't think was much of a costume for him because he kind of runs a type of zoo at home - hahaha
and then the two not pictured because they were taking the pictures - michael as peter parker :) and then my dad as himself - which probably could have won the scariest costume if it were allowed -just kidding dad - i love you

all dressed up
anyhow because i took a picture of gracie uriah and gabe wanted there picture taken as well so i lined them all up -anyhow this picture makes me laugh-at least their mom can handle getting them dressed-for all concerned grandparents- i did however, add some more clothing articles to gracies body before we went outside or shopping hahaha
Gracie loves having the boys over to play with her in the morning anyhow lately their new thing to do is throw all of the couch coushions on the floor and then make flying leaps from the couch onto the floor -it makes me laugh especially when they are not careful and collide with each other and then just get up and do it again-no tears or anything hahah
