Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend with the Clark Clan. Brian's parents and brothers came. It was so great to spend time together and just enjoy one another. The kids love their uncles and can't get enough while they are here. We enjoyed a relaxing Thanksgiving day. Then on Friday we all went shooting. It was so much fun, even the kids liked it. I know that we all made memories that will last forever. Having family is truly a blessing that we all take for granted and I am grateful for our trials because I know that is what brings us closer together.
The girls just relaxing watching a movie with Grandma in bed.
And yes I hit the target the FIRST time. Despite Brian's reaction that I might miss. I think it turned him on that I know how to shoot a gun. He owes that thanks to my Grandpa. ha ha ha
Rob teaching Hunter how to aim and shoot.
Brianna and Grandpa watching on the sidelines.
Then Grandpa took his turn and he had quite a shot. I dare say that he enjoyed it too. Go Dad!
Look at those CUTE boys, lucky for me one of them is mine!!!!
Rob and Brianna watching the Price is Right....who has time for that anymore. It was great to lounge around.
I am so blessed. There are sooo many things to be thankful for. I am truly a blessed woman. I know that the grand life I live is all owed to my Heavenly Father but that I couldn't do it alone here on earth and that is why He gave me Brian. I know that through thick and thin we can get through it all together. Happy Thanksgiving!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy Brianna

Brianna turned two this last week. Wow has two years really gone by. She is such a joy in our home and life would just not be the same without her. She truly keeps us on our toes and never stops. She is as curious as ever and willing to do whatever it takes to figure out that curiosity inside. She is into everything and loves to be the center of attention. She is even been potty training herself and tells me on a regular basis that she has to go potty and she does. What a bright little cookie. And such a great future ahead. She has so much inner beauty that keeps coming out the more her communication expands. Brianna, we love you and can't wait to see what your future beholds. Happy Birthday!

Elmo has seemed to catch Brianna's eye. She loves him and can always find him in stores and books. However she will not watch him. So an Elmo cake it had to be. Thirty-seven cupcakes in all. What a cake for a two year old, huh.
I just can't believe how much she has grown. Just look at that little snitcher. Trying to get some cake before the guest arrive.

Even Grandpa came and sure enough as soon as he sat down she resumed her position on his lap.

Lots of presents and fun with all of our friends.
