School Skate Party...

Rhenley and her bestie, making skating look good :)

The girls' Elementary school has a skate party once a month put on by our PTA...  

They couldn't wait to go to their first Skate party of the year...  

Rhenley had a Blast!

 Jodee & Jayda had fun... still learning, but quickly getting the hang of it...:)

 Until next time, Happy Skating!

Yo Gabba Gabba...

Maybe it's the crazy creatures: Muno, Foofa, Toodee, Plex, Brobee, DJ Lance Rock, or special guest stars:  Elijah Wood, Tony Hawk, Jack Black, Sean Kingston...Maybe it's the silly songs and dancing... Maybe it's the bright colors and pictures... Biz's Beat of The Day or Cool Tricks, Cool Tricks... Maybe it's Dancy Dance time, or Funny Faces...

I don't know what it is exactly about this silly show... YO GABBA GABBA..., but it has Little Miss D, obsessed!  She watches this show every day, sometimes a few times throughout the day... SHE LOVES IT!!  (I hated the show at first, but it has since grown on me... I love the silliness of it all!)

 Found this cute "Foofa" hat at The Goodwill for 99c (it's even reversible) Dayna loves this hat, and even sleeps with it. :)

 Should have recorded her singing, but you get the idea... "Yo Gabba Gabba, Yo Gabba Gabba"
(shirt is from Auntie April... Dayna would probably wear it every day if I let her:)

Stay tuned for Dayna's "Yo Gabba Gabba" birthday party...    

Thanksgiving @ Zion's Camp...

 The FABULOUS lodge...

 Our AMAZING surroundings...

 Where we slept... each family had there own dorm... plenty of space for everyone!

 Fun times doing crafts, Mayflower boat races, watching movies, playing video and board/card games, Kazoos, Talent Night...  "Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do... Repent Ya'll".  We have such a fun
time with our Family!! LOVE these people!

 Getting ready for our Thanksgiving feast...  Aunt Abby did such an amazing job on the "kid's" table, paper pumpkin pies with activities and toys inside...

 Paper bag, popcorn filled turkey...

 Cute button corn on the cob napkin rings...

 Pumpkin turkey fruit kabobs...

 Pilgrim hats with crayons inside...

 The "Adult" table...  BEAUTIFUL (Thanks Aunt Megan, aka: Martha Stewart)

 The deliciousness... Thanks to everyone for their contributions to our feast!

 Before going home, the girls wanted to try out the archery shooting range...

 Jayda and Jodee, getting the hang of the bow...

 Rhenley was a natural...

 Rhenley hit the target more times than even her mom...

-Grandma Jiggy & Dayna trying to stay warm... "When's it our turn Mom?"-

 Sweet Baby Greyson...

 Rhenley and her "mini-me", Kloee, these girls are definitely related :)

They just keep coming...

Another baby to cuddle and love, has been added to The Steven's Clan... Tessa (Luke's sister) and her hubby Darren welcomed baby boy Greyson Dean Allen to their family on November 6th..

Happy, Healthy, and the Chubbiest of cheeks... so kissable :)

What I've been watching...

"FRINGE" is down to it's last 3 episodes... I'm going to be so sad when this show ends... Oh Peter Bishop how I've enjoyed getting to know you:) (Joshua Jackson has been one of my favorite actors for years... I'll miss seeing him:)) (He was Charlie on The Mighty Ducks, and Pacey on Dawson's Creek... Good Times!)

"Downton Abbey" season 3 finally came to the states, and I've been dying to watch it, but it's not on HULU or Netflix yet (we don't watch anything on regular tv, we watch our shows when we have time:))  So, I have to wait longer to watch it...  It's ok, Mr. Bates won't be going anywhere...so I'll just wait...

And finally... DON'T JUDGE...

We can't wait for the February premiere of "The Walking Dead"...

I know, I know... how is it that I can like such different shows?  The Walking Dead was Lucas' fault :)

Just a side note...

I was doing fairly well keeping up with the blog... I got 2 months behind because I couldn't find the cord for my camera... So, getting behind wasn't entirely my fault:)

I couldn't blog without pictures...

Long story short... I found it today (in the drawer in the kitchen, which I searched through a thousand times... so be prepared for blog posts galore!)

Happy 33rd Birthday Lukoplakia...

Lucas celebrated his 33rd birthday in November...

 Candy, XBOX points, and a hat from my side of the family...

 Favorite snacks and a new tie from the girls...

 I couldn't resist... I found this shirt @ Walmart for $2...  We love The Office, and Lucas especially loves Michael... our nephew Jakob being a Goofball (per usual :))

 Zombie targets from Ray & Andi... "Can't wait to kill me some Zombies..."

Keeping with the tradition that I had when I was a kid... treats under the dinner plates before your birthday dinner is served... Lucas was Super Excited... Crabby Patties :)



Erikka made Lucas a "Tardis" DQ ice cream cake... SPOILED!

Happy Birthday Honey Bunches of Oats, WE LOVE YOU!
