We had a really nice (long) Thanksgiving in Utah. Trips always seem to be a little too exciting for me. Here are some of the excitements from our trip:
The doctors office called me and had to reschedule my appointment to pretty early on Wednesday, so we got everything ready so we could leave on time. It ended up raining all night (Tuesday) and we have a leaky back door so I got up in the middle of the night to put some towels down. Tyler didn't want to just leave towels down while we were gone because he was worried the water would make the floor warp. So when we woke up the next morning he went to the back yard to hang some plastic around the door. A few minutes later he comes to get me and says there are ants EVERYWHERE. We have a lot of little black ants in our yard and it looks like they live under the stucco. The rain spooked them and there was a HUGE black stripe (of ants) on our house and all over our back door. I went to get the camera but Tyler had already poisoned them. Luckily traffic wasn't bad and we still got to the appointment on time.
We had a yummy dinner Thursday with Tyler's family. It rained almost all that day too. It was dark by the time we headed back to my parents for the night, and the clouds were low. My parents house is on the way to Pine Valley and the elevation is higher then right in St. George. We had only gone a few miles when the fog got really bad. We couldn't even see 20 feet in front of the car. I was so scared. We just watched the lines on the road and did fine. My Mom's street doesn't have lines or street lights so that got a little tricky, but we arrived safely.
Friday we went to the mall, which was a mad house. We mostly just walked around for a couple of hours. The kiddos did so well.
Then Saturday we celebrated with my family. We wanted to take a new family picture so we got all ready. It was SOOO windy and cold. We drove to the Snow Canyon lookout and it was even more windy so we didn't even get out of the car. We ended up just going back to take a picture in front of my parent's fireplace. I will post those as soon as my brother sends them to me- Thanks Josh for taking the pictures for us!
It really was a fun weekend. Oh and just so you know...My Mom called me this morning to tell me the weather was perfect this morning- no wind at all, and warmer then yesterday- figures.

Sounds like fun! Can't wait to see the pictures!!
Glad to hear that you had a good time. Nathan was so funny today in church. Glad to know that someone is trying to keep my kids in line in church.
haha. we were at my dad's for thanksgiving and when we left we hit the fog too. I love it tho! I wish SG would get crappy weather more often! LOL
Hey Mon, I am not sure if your Mom told you but I stopped by her house to use her potty because Brandon and his bros were playing football at the church and I could not hold it any longer she was so SWEET to let us in (I had some relatives with me also) I was sad that I had just missed you :( Anyway, tell her thanks again. She always makes me feel welcome and part of the fam ;)
Sheesh! Sounds like you had a hectic weekend. Glad there were no major mishaps with the fog.
