Happy Thanksgiving!

These are all (but two) of my parents grandkids. Fifteen in all - not to shaby!

This is Isaac and my new nephew Nathan. They're gonna be best buds :-).

Cali showing off her candy cane Reindeer (which I think she ate about 100 of - hence the messy face).

Our family at Thanksgiving. I think Isaac looks full :-).

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all had as good of a Thanksgiving as I did. We switch off every other year with my family and JR's family, and this year was the 'on' year with my family. We always have to have it at a church because there's so many people. From my mom's parents down there are well over a hundred people - and that's not including spouses and other family members. So, we have a wonderfully large group for Thanksgiving, but that just means more varieties of pie to choose from! It was so wonderful being with my family. I love them all so much. I think I have the best extended family around. No matter how many people are in my family, I always feel loved by everyone - my grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, my parents, brothers and sisters, and so many others - and for that I am so very grateful. I also can't forget JR's family. They're so wonderful and I feel so much love from them as well. I'm also so very grateful for my amazing husband and kids. I think I have the cutest kids around - and that's not being biased :-). I love them so much and feel so much love from them in return. I also have such amazing friends, and even though I don't get to see some as often as I would like I still feel their love and love them as well. I feel so overwhelmingly grateful to be surrounded by so much love. I just hope I can give that much love back in return. So, in hopes of doing just that - I LOVE YOU ALL!!! :-)

JR's Brazil Trip

Yeah! JR's home from Brazil!!! He had so much fun...except for wishing that I was with him :-). My dad just loves JR more than me because he paid for him to go and not me! JR and my dad both went to Brazil on their missions and they both speak Portuguese very well, so I guess those were deciding factors as well :-). My dad got to go and visit some of the areas and people he enjoyed on his mission and JR went along for the ride. Enjoy some of the pics JR took on his trip. If you mouse over the slides they will display a brief caption.

My sweet little boy

I couldn't resist putting up these pictures. Isaac just looked so grown-up in his Sunday outfit! I can't believe he's six months old already. He sits up really well by himself. He's so solid too. At his six month doctor's apointment he weighed 19lbs. 6 oz. Not too shaby! He's so cute with his big pinchy cheeks! He's just the cutest thing ever and has been such a fun addition to our family.

I went to church with my mom on Sunday, since JR's in Brazil with my Dad. She had lots of fun getting in some Isaac time.

Cali and Isaac had so much fun on my Dad's office chair. My mom was spinning them around and they were both laughing and smiling. Too cute!

The Beauty of Fall

It was such a beautiful fall day last Monday I couldn't resist taking some pictures in front of our house. This was the day before JR left for Brazil with my Dad for ten whole days! :-( We miss you!


What a good (and cute!) dad. I miss you!

What a good big sister Cali is.

Poor Isaac had just gotten five shots. Not a fun way to spend his six month birthday :-). He's such a tough kid, though. He did better than Cali, and she only got one shot!

She's such a stinker, but she's so cute too :-).

There were so many leaves in front of our house. Cali loved playing in them.

I love this picture. She's such a pretty girl, even if I do say so myself :-).

In front of our home.

Our street looked so pretty. There were so many leaves! I love fall!!! I just wish it lasted longer :-).

Happy Halloween!

Halloween this year was crazy busy with lots of fun things to do and people to see. Cali and Isaac were such troopers being carted around everywhere. Cali had a great time and it was fun seeing her enjoy dressing up and really getting into Halloween. Isaac looked so cute in his pumpkin costume that we just had to show him off to as many people as possible :-). We all had so much fun being together with family and friends and it made for a wonderful day.

Cali got to go trick-or-treating at Novell. It was lots of fun and Cali got way too much candy. She actually told me "Mom, I'm done. I have enough candy." Darn, I guess I'll just have to help her eat it all :-).

Cali also got to see her friend Sadie at Novell, so they had some fun together as well.

After Cali went trick-or-treating at Novell, we stopped by our old ward in Provo to visit our friends Laycie and John. While we were there Cali went trick-or-treating with their little boy Britton. She definitely got her share of candy this Halloween :-).

At first Britton didn't want to get into his pooh bear costume, but we distracted him enough to take some cute pictures :-).

It was fun walking through our old ward. The kids enjoyed it too.

Brother and sister on their first Halloween together - too cute :-).

Isaac looked so cute as a pumpkin this year. I thought the costume would go nicely with his round face and red hair :-).

Trick-or-treating with the Petersons: There's Grandma Peterson as Grandma Peterson :-), Isaac as "The Pumpkin Head", Anna as Velma from Scooby Doo, Rachel as a pirate, Adam as Steve Irwin, and Cali as Snow White.

Grandkids Halloween Party

My mom had a halloween party for all of her grandkids a couple of days before halloween. Not everyone could make it, but it was a lot of fun and Cali enjoyed dressing up - again- in her princess costume. Enjoy the cute pics!


Everyone showing off their cute costumes.

Isaac and his cousin Beauen looking cute. They're getting so big!

The two princesses Belle and Snow White.

The newest addition to the Weeks family - Nathan Crump!

I think Cali has my lips...

Isaac and little Nathan trying to pose :-).

Isaac among Grandma's pumpkins. Too cute!

Look-alike Meters

...and JR thought Isaac looked more like me. So hard to tell!


JR thought Cali looked more like him! Who knows how accurate this think really is, but it was fun to try. JR and I must have similar genes because 4% and 6% differences aren't that big. At least we know they're our kids!

Grandma Black Visit

I took Cali and Isaac to see my grandma Black yesterday. She's staying in an Orem rehabilitation facility because she broke her hip and is recooperating from that. I've been wanting to visit her for a couple of weeks, so I was glad I got the chance yesterday while my mom was there. Get better soon grandma. We love you!!!
