another busy weekend

We started Thanksgiving with a skeet shoot & then had a nice dinner at Dean's parents. 

Friday was Janale's Birthday and Jenna planned an awesome surprise party for her. 

The kids were watching for her to come so they could yell surprise. 

Kolt is getting so big, isn't this the cutest winking face ever. 

TJ & Ashton bought a house and they were nice enough to let us have our party there.

I asked a little neighbor boy who was taking out the trash to take our picture. 

I think he was a little scared but he did a great job!

Dean wanted to go straight home but I knew if we did he would just start working. So I forced him to hang out with us. We took the kids to this play place and it was awesome!

I love this picture of Josie helping Trig up. He's all but taller than her and he weighs a ton more, they are so funny.

Saturday Lawrence preged his cows and the kids of course wanted to go with Dean. It looks like a nice morning but it was freezing; despite Lawrence wearing a T-shirt and ball cap it really was so cold.

I love to hear Josie when she is moving cows with her dad on a horse or a 4-wheeler. She will 'whistle' and whoop and holler for the cows to get out of the way. It is so so funny. But just so we are clear if a cow comes within 50 yards of her while she was on the ground she will scream bloody murder.
