Happy Turkey Day!

Please read the following story and the procede with this post...

This turkey is my Mom's turkey. She raises turkeys each year and then slaughters them just before Thanksgiving. This big guy got out a week ago and ended up less than a mile down the road. The funny thing about the article is it states that there aren't any farms in the area, but they have a big sign in front of their house that states "Fresh Turkeys for Sale". I guess he decided that since he didn't receive a pardon, he was going to make a prison break.
This turkey may have "ruined" Thanksgiving but will make for a Merry Christmas!
(this is a post I stole off of my Aunt's blog--but I thought it was hilarious! This would only happen to my parents!).

Miller craft time-Thanksgiving style!

We did this for FHE on Monday. Reece was so funny. I asked him what he was thankful for and he said, "people". I kept asking him if he was thankful for anything else and he would say, "nope, just people".

Just chillin' with the boys

This was taken after Spencer spent 4 hours learning how to stitch a pigs foot! I guess they have similar skin to humans and so they practiced on pigs!

Best Buddies!

Benson dressed up to watch Saturday football!

What a stud!

It has been so cold, windy, and gloomy over here! It is dark by 4:15pm (someday it's dark by 3:30pm) and both the boys have been sick so we really haven't left the house. It's a good thing we have awesome neighbors to keep us entertained. Kennedy is 5 years old and comes over almost daily to play with Reece. They have become best buddies (and have been sick buddies this week). Their favorite things to do are paint, color, build towers, and read books on Reece's top bunk bed. Brandi (Kennedy's Mom) brings us dinner a couple times a week.

Seriously, it can't get better than that!

Just picking my nose...

Spencer and I were watching the USC vs. Cal game while Benson sat on Spencer's lap entertained by his cell phone. Reece was behind the couch playing with his cars. Spencer asked Reece, "hey Reece, what are you doing?" His reply, "just picking my nose!" I have to laugh every time I tell the story because he was so nonchalant about it. He acted like it was no big deal--just enjoying picking his nose. What a great moment!'

Happy Halloween

Picture taken by REECE!!

We had a great halloween. While Spencer was at school I had the WWAMI wives over for halloween crafts. We made spiders out of oreo's and halloween magnets for the fridge. We then attempted to take a nap but failed miserably. After 45 minutes of hearing Reece scream the ABC's I decided he was not going to fall alseep so I let him get up. We then took pictures of the boys in their monkey outfits because I knew if I waited until dark they would be grumpy monkeys. After Spencer came home we watched The Charlie Brown's Halloween special and got ready for our big night.

We had three parties we were going to attend. Our first adventure was Krystle's birthday party at 6:30pm. As we pulled into the driveway our car was suddenly quiet (which never happens with Reece and Benson). They had both fallen asleep and were out cold. We knew instantly this was going to be an interesting night. We decided to skip our second party (ward halloween activity) and go to the WWAMI halloween party at Eve's house. Our boys were so darn cute!

Reece became friends with the other Spencer who was dressed as Bam Bam and played with his club. Benson sat on mine and Paola's lap winning all the girls hearts. We then came home, put the boys to bed, and played speed scrabble--our new addiction. I would post the results but will hold off to keep Spencer from getting a big head! :)
