THANKSGIVING!!!!

Thanksgiving day came and left really fast!! We had wonderful food, especially the jam!!! :) We had my cousins come over, and as you can see, took LOTS of pictures! I hope all of you had a GREAT Thanksgiving full of love and joy. Enjoy with the pictures!! :)

14 year old Wyatt and 9 month old Micah.

Helping with the 1000 piece puzzle!

Mesmerized by the shiny glass..

OK, so yeah, I do have a lot of pictures of little Micah, but he's a lot easier to take pictures of than the speedy 3 year olds!!!!!

Lucca, laughing all the time!

The big set out! 

YUMMM!!!!

ALMOST THANKSGIVING!!!!!!

 Look at those pictures. Think about every one of them. There is so much in the world that I can be thankful for. Friends, family, food, shelter, enemies, bad hair days, brussel sprouts and our wonderful god. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here right now. None of us would. Here's another little quote I liked:
 "Be thankful for the bad things in life, for they open your eyes to the good things you weren't paying attention to before."
And for those who were wondering, that is why I am thankful for enemies, bad hair days and brussel sprouts. If it weren't for brussel sprouts, I wouldn't have my least favorite food that i have to right down on my "About Me!" papers in 1st grade. Thank you Lord for giving me life and all the wonderful experiances, bad experiances, and challenging experainces. If he haven't of gave me challenging experiances, I wouldn't be the strong girl I am today. Just like my mom. :)

Happy Belated Birthday, Erin Estella!

How do I always do belated birthdays? hmmmm....dont know. Anyways, this post is supposed to be about my wonderful, fantastic, AMAZING cousin, Erin Estella Call. If I didn't have you in my life, I wouldn't have a spunky cousin to look up to that I think about every day. Oh, only if we lived closer. What memories we would have. But I hold our memories close to my heart, and never let go. I remember (looking at pictures, i can't remember this far!) when you were 11 years old and i was only 5. You were the one that I always heard saying the craziest stuff and i still do now! ;) Oh the memories of us at Grammie Camp and george pronouncing xoxo like yolk yolk???? Haha. Oh. This is my FAVORITE memorie with you. We got dropped of at Mimi's house and we rang the doorbell and knocking on the door soaking wet (right after you guys did your hair haha) and finally, yes, erin, had the idea to open up the window cover thing and to see what was going on in there. ohhhhhh. i cant say any more. If you want to hear the end of the story, ask grace here, ask erin here or ask scar here. I am so grateful to have a wonderful cousin like you and am so excited to see you in LA this summer! :) I love you to the moon and back! xoxo chloe

Happy Belated Birthday, Alexa!

Dear Alexa,
 I hope you had the best birthday EVER! You are one of the best cousins I could ever have and I wouldn't trade our wonderful times for anything. I remember looking at the pictures of you at Disneyland and pictures of you when we went to LA and got matching T-Shirts. You don't know how much I miss you, but am so grateful to at least have you in my life. I have looked at your blog every day looking at all of the wonderful pictures of you and your new beautiful family! You are gorgeous and so is your new little girl.  I am SO excited to see you and Brian and Ellie next summer! Here is one of my FAVORITE songs that I found that I thought would be perfect and the lyrics:

 I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you're faced with the choice and you have to choose
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you
And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin til you find the window
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you and the place you left
I hope you always forgive and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get
Oh, you'd find God's grace in every mistake
And always give more than you take
But more than anything, yeah more than anything
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish, yeah yeah
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
(My wish for you)
This is my wish
(My wish for you)
I hope you know somebody loves you
(My wish for you)
May all your dreams stay big
(My wish for you)

Happy 3rd Birthday Vander and Lucca!

I drove over to Seattle to visit my cousins: Lucca, Vander and Micah! I forgot my iPod on Saturday, so these next few pics were from Yesterday. Sorry I didn't get much. I couldn't get pictures of Lucca (above) because he was inside at the moment. So this picture was from last year when he was 2!

 

 

 Here's Vander playing on his new basketball hoop! Loves it....:)

 Soon-to-be Pro Basketball Star. VANDER BURLEY!!!!

 This is cute little Micah! He is 9 months old and getting teeth!!! He likes to watch big brother play basketball and tempts to throw the basketball as well!

 He is SO darn close to standing, and even walking! He just needs a little support. ;)

 

 Love his little half smile!!!
