So, Morgan and I spent Thanksgiving in Vernal this year. We had a great time! It is always fun spending time with the Beede family! On our way to there, we stopped and picked up Morgan's oldest brothers (Kenneth) kids- Trevor and Austin. I had never met them yet so that was fun for me! We had the most relaxed Thanksgiving I had ever experienced! It was great! We had a turkey, stuffing, corn, rolls left over from a funeral the day before, an easy jello salad, and some yummy home-made pies. Talk about easy, low stress and very enjoyable! It was just Morgan's parents, Kenneth, Trevor and Austin and us at the table. We had a bigger family gathering on Sunday. We didn't get any pictures of Thanksgiving day, sorry! But keep going, there are other pictures!
I don't remember if I've included any pictures of Morgan's parents on here yet so here's one. It was taken in Salt Lake and it was the first time I had ever met them
The day after? Thanksgiving, a whole bunch of us got together and went shooting! Brian, Morgan's friend from high school brought his collection of guns for all of us to play with! And play we did!!! He had an old school revolver- cowboy style, his "cop" style handgun and his 12 gauge shotgun! Here are a few pictures showing off our fun!
1st pic: Trevor using shotgun; Middle: Austin using cowboy gun and Last is me using shotgun! I even hit a few clay pigeons!
On Sunday we celebrated the blessing of our new nephew: Drew (can't remember his middle name, oops!) Timothy. Son of Danielle (Morg's sister) and Clark Timothy. It was a wonderful day! Especially since their house was full of sick kids in the days prior to the blessing and they managed to be free from illness long enough to make it through all the festivities! What a blessing! Drew is one adorable little guy! You'll know what I mean when you look at the pictures below!!
Sweet little baby faces... Ooo! Ahhh!
The proud Aunt and Uncle (and of course the coolest!) with Drew (Morgan sure will make a cute daddy!!! What a stud!!)
Grandma Beede (Morgan's mom) with baby Drew and proud big brother Chucky (aka Devin); Kenneth (striking a pose!) and his wife, Tracy, with Drew.
We all had a good time hanging out with the fam. before we ate dinner. In taking a closer look at some of these pictures, I am realizing that some were actually taken at Mom and Dad Beede's house and David (Morg's brother) and Jamie's house. But they were all taken the same weekend so I decided to keep them in the mix!
D.J.- I wonder what he wants to be when he grows up...; Brooklyn trying to hand off Jackson
Austin just chillin'; Jackson trying to walk- and if i remember correctly, he likes to walk on his tippy-toes!
Danielle, the proud mama of Drew; l-r on couch: Jaime with Drew, Trevor, Jonathan
Carston, too cool for the camera!; Jenna and Jonathan (about to get hit by a nerf football- the red blur in front of the plant)
Katelyn and Kayla resting on the bar counter (Kayla was starting to get the flu); Chucky with his funny face- he didn't want to give us a serious smile!; and me with baby Drew and Chucky!
I tried to get the best pictures I could but some of them weren't great! Sorry! And I realized I am missing a few people in the family... Sorry Grandpa Beede, David and Clark! I guess we were never in the right spots at the right times! Next time for sure! And when we were taking the pictures they were just at random. We wouldn't have forgotten you if we had an agenda!
Well, That's Thanksgiving weekend in a big, coconut sized, nut shell! Thanks to the Beede clan for a fun weekend! Hopefully we'll be able to head out there soon. We miss you and love you!
As for the rest of the holidays... baby steps!!! I like the whole "one event a night" plan! Keeps me motivated and less stressed about all the catch up I have in store! So stay tuned, there's more to come! Wish me luck!!!
