REWIND....

 
to Thanksgiving!
 
A great trip to Destin, Florida with the Mitchell Family!
 
 
The Beach.
 






 
The United States Air force Armament Museum.
 


Pearl Harbor history.



Linda's dad flew in this plane as the side gunner!

Kavan's favorite plane.

Fun at the Beach!
 



 
 
The Gulfarium.
 

Could this picture be any better!?!  Love these buddies!

Kyler got picked as the helper during the dolphin show.  So fun!
Kenzie had to get over her jealousy! :)

 

They got in the "soak zone!"  They loved it!  And they were
a little fishy smelling!

 We ran in a 5k.  It was so much fun!



Tie-Dye!
 
 
 

More fun at the beach!
 


 
Football at the beach!
 
I had to show them I could still keep up!
 
This picture looks like I just made a great play - maybe a great block - but then again, maybe you can
tell that my teammate behind me was not impressed with my skills! :)

Thanksgiving Dinner!
Delicious!!!
 

The food tastes way better than that shoe! :)

 

What?!   It was good! :)


Thanksgiving is exhausting!

Family picture time and a fun playground!
 

So cute!

BINGO!
 



 
More beach fun and lots of treasures!  Tim got the kids going with snorkeling even though the water was freezing!  So fun!  This beach, the day before, had tons of baby manta rays that would skim the shore. (I missed it because I was shopping with the girls which was really fun, but Layne was able to get some video of it - so cool!)
 

Kavan and JJ paying a little ball.


Treasure hunting!

Treasures!

I don't know how they did it in the cold, but they were excited!
And good snorkelers!

More football!



Beautiful!

Happy Birthday, Jana!  Yummy birthday pie!

Beaches, games, movies, reading, laughing, cooking, running, shopping, great memories, and great family!  A great vacation! 
 
 

On the way home we stopped to visit my parents.  And my mom fed us another yummy and fabulous Thanksgiving dinner (she makes some good pie)!  What a fun week!  I am so thankful for family and friends!

Happy Veteran's Day!

(This is what we would have posted on Veteran's Day had our computer not frozen.)

Thank you to all of you that have served and protected our country!  And thank you to all of you that continue to serve our country with courage!







Can you find Larry Burgy, Carl White, Bernard Mitchell, and Tim Mitchell?

Thank you to G'pa Burgy and G'pa Mitchell for serving,
and for participating in Karlee's school program.

And if I would have been on the ball...

this is what I would have posted to say Happy Halloween!





Bryant was the last one carving!

Good job!

Kavan is not with his pumpkin.  He always seems to be in the middle of chaos!  :)


Kenzie still has fun dressing up (from the 80's)! And even though the older kids are too "big" for trick-or-treating, they are "big" helpers with the younger kids!  I wonder why that is!?!?  :)


Karlee was originally a "flapper"... she changed her mind.  She dressed as Annie Oakley for a school report and decided to stay as Annie Oakley. 


Happy Halloween 2012!

We've had some birthdays!


Karlee turned 11!



Kavan turned 9!



And after "due to life - rushed celebrations" on their actual birthdays, we finally all came together to celebrate!  And wishes were made.


These two are something... never a dull moment, rarely a serious moment, and a definite "love-annoy" relationship!


I love this picture because Kavan thinks he is just hilarious and Karlee is like "really?"

And then we have these two... they are silly!


Happy Birthday, Ryan!




So FUN!
