This year was one of those fun years when Joey's birthday was on Thanksgiving. Consequently he got to have Birthday pie, yum! We went up to Uncle Brett's house in Dallas for the big day. It was great! Among other things it was our first close encounter with Tivo. What a great invention! The food was fabulous and the company was too. It even snowed for about 5 minutes! I forgot how much colder Dallas is than San Antonio. I don't think I even brought coats for everyone :0 Here is breaking footage of the blizzard:

Halloween 2007
This year the kids and I made wooden grave stones for our yard using the jigsaw Matt and Colleen gave us for Christmas last year. I can't tell you how much I enjoy using that saw! It's so powerful! It was so fun to just randomly decide one boring saturday that instead of organizing and cleaning our eternally messy home we would instead make our grave stones out of random scraps of wood. The kids had a lot of fun painting their own stones and writing things about themselves on them. We all wrote that we were dying on 10/31/2007 which I suppose was just tempting fate to have us all get in a fatal car accident that night (having written down our deaths weeks before) but we managed to survive the night and now have 5 very large tombstones competing for space in our attic. That really was probably one of my favorite parts of this Halloween, but of course there was also the pumpkin carving, ward party, the school party/performance, and actual Halloween night, Not to mention WAAAAAAY too much candy.
That white stuff all over my dresser, that's lotion. I guess it looked a little dry. That's what happens when you think your 2 year old is asleep in bed and really he's not. Actually that is just a very tame incident that Justin cleaned up. He still thinks it's cute enough to merit a picture. In addition to "greasing" up the furniture, he also used some of my perfume that night. Luckily he still knows how to be extra cute when caught doing something wrong.
