Happy Thanksgiving!

And happy Black Friday…I guess…I confess I bought a couple things…and I might not be done but I’ve gotta blog first 😉

Saturday I went to Cannon’s game. 

Being a former coach and a mom is a bit of a disaster! It was the Highland tournament and we played Highland for third place, so the place was pretty packed. They came out in a little 1-2-2 half court trap, and we were like pass pass layup. Pass pass layup. Over and over and over. But once we were up by like 20 in the first half, I was like come on man,  put a sub in. But Cannon and the other subs didn’t see the court until the end of the 3rd quarter then played the whole 4th quarter. I didn’t like it, I  think to bring guys a long they need to play with the guys who are a little better,  he could have got his bench guys a minute each with his horses during the 2nd quarter  when he was up 20, but…oh well. They won, Cann was happy, and I’m glad! I have to bite my tongue cuz I don’t want Cannon to be annoyed just because I was. 

My little Jean jacket for church buddy 😊

Then Tuesday Cannons team  played the same team, that came out it the same 1-2-2🤦‍♀️ It was more of the same—they had a shut out going until deep into the 3rd quarter but this time he did mix in the subs way earlier and they of course weren’t as smooth but still kept the shutout intact that long, so it was good. 

Isaac decided to paint the panels on his excavator (and ended up with enough of a circus cuz his paint wouldn’t dry that he didn’t make the game) and I ended up with just Seth and Addi at the ball game…  not the best mix of kids to try and take pictures😉
Oh well! 

And then it was Thanksgiving break! I got to sneak over to the temple on Wednesday. It was extra fun because when I walked in, I saw Jim Johnson, he was the principal of Snow Canyon but before I was there, when I was there he was over at the district office, but he was my grandma‘s bishop and she thought so highly of him and his wife. It was really fun to visit with them. I love it when you run into people you know in the temple. I guess they’ve been there in Nauvoo for 10 months already and that was the first time I’ve seen them, but it sure was fun! 

When I got home. Addi had a big bruise between her eyes but I couldn’t hardly even get a picture of it because she just smiles when I try—these are attempts like 13 and 14 but Seth said they just bonked heads and she didn’t cry—that’s all I got as far as a story.

And then there was Thanksgiving, this looks about like an Isaac Special right? 

Good thing we had a great “fake” Thanksgiving in Utah. We’d asked the kids if they wanted to do a big lunch or big dinner, they picked dinner so we just kinda laid low and Isaac decided to take his excavator to the Farnsworth’s. An all day project where he ran out of daylight. Trying to be a little lighter (I think) he had me pull the bucket up with the truck and trailer. I got there just in time to see them stuck…

I left home  just after 4:00. 

At about 7:00 I called Colt on the iPad (he and Tann stayed) and asked him how he would feel about peeling potatoes— so basically Colt and Tan the  man, took care of  the most important part of our Thanksgiving dinner. 

We didn’t even cook the ham, instead we threw some breakfast ham on the frying  pan and I was thankful that we had it in the fridge. We did make a box of stuffing and I think the kids made a pie earlier with Isaac…I can’t  remember for sure- (they did one day) and then we had some apple empanadas in the freezer that we baked up.

We’re usually good for a story! 

We have lots to be thankful for!
