Thanksgiving continued!

After a wonderful visit and a super yummy Thanksgiving dinner with the Burgy side of the family, we headed to Destin, Florida with the Mitchell side of the family!  It was awesome!

The house!

The Family!  Unfortunately, Tyler was not able to come with us this year.  Fortunately, he has a new job! :)

The beach!

The playground!

The fishing trip!  Dolphins galore, fish galore, waves galore, and well... sickness galore!  

Tim catching a nap - Kavan sick, sick, sick!  9 out of the 12 didn't fair so well on the rough ocean water.  Kenzie, however, loved every minute!!

Despite the sickness - all came home - and with much success!

The Naval Air Museum in Pensacola!  One of the coolest museums ever - and it is free!

A little pep talk from Uncle Ryan!  I love this picture! :)

Thanksgiving dinner!

Lots of yummy food...

It was such a wonderful trip... it was hard to come back to reality!  Many thanks to my in-laws... who I love so much!

Thanksgiving...

Thanksgiving break was AWESOME!!  -to be continued...

Summer?

It is so warm here right now.  So, I decided to post some neglected fun from the summer!

I had a birthday!  We had some yummy food and yummy cake - that I did not have to make thanks to my Layne... and so many of my favorite people!  :)  Great times!

A lot of candles!

That I blew out in a super flash!  :)

And I just had so many fun surprises!

We spent some time at my Mom and Dad's and got to have a fun day with the Austin family.

Karlee can do a full fledged belly flop and not cringe - CRAZY!

Look at all those curls!

Fun ladies!

We had a great visit with some of our family from Ohio!

We all love this little girl!!!  

Heather got up and going on the skis!  Hooray!

My dad having fun!

Kavan in the driver's seat?!?

I love my Uncle john!

 Some super fun on the kneeboard!

So funny, Annie...seriously!  :)

This was THE best...

My cousin John gettin' my mom.

But did it stop there...

Nope!

So much fun!

Kavan turns 8!

Wow!  I am really behind, and time is going by so quickly, and there is so much to talk about and remember - BUT - Kavan turned 8! 

He was so excited to be 8!

    

He wanted to be baptized,

 

Uncle Tyler, Uncle Ryan, Uncle Kirk, Grandpa Burgy, Kavan (notice his tie), Layne, Grandpa Mitchell, Uncle Terry, Paul

Hmm... I wonder how his tie got so crooked!?!

and he wanted to be a Cub Scout (and ride with Uncle Kirk to the church on Wednesday nights with all the "big kids")!

 Needless to say, being 8 is really great!

(Time does go so quick!) 

Guess who had a birthday?

Guess Who?

Miss Karlee had a birthday today!  She is officially in the double digits at age 10!  From 1 to 10 in a blink of an eye!

Today was just a quick celebration after school and work - KFC, neopolitan ice cream cake, and opening a couple of presents before Activity Days at the church.  She invited two of her friends, Alaina and Kelsey, to go to Activity Days with her.  They had a great time!

Just as a side note - I taught my first Seminary lesson today.  As I was taking McKenzie and two of her friends to school after Seminary, we called Karlee and all sang Happy Birthday to her.  That was fun!  It made Karlee laugh!  :)  There are some great kids in our Seminary class!
