A Red River Thanksgiving

 

We decided to surprise the boys with a

trip to Red River for Thanksgiving.

We told them KC had to work and we

were going to spend Thanksgiving with

him in the camper.  They were less than

thrilled.  Can ya tell?

 

 

 

When we got right outside of Red River

we pulled over and told them the news

You can tell by their faces - they were excited!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was lots of snow

for lots of sledding.

 

 

 

Thanksgiving Day we did

some exploring and hiking.

 

 

 

The boys also participated in the town

turkey race.  They got on a frozen turkey

and raced down the mountain.

Rylee got 1st place!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I even made a whole big

Thanksgiving dinner.

Not as good as Granny's,

but we made due.

 

 

Cody's 9th Birthday!

 

Cook out and sleepover for Cody and

all his friends.  Can you guess what Cody is eating?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The day of his actual birthday

we went to dinner and a movie.

Happy Number 33

 

 Happy Birthday

to me!

 

 

The boys have been waiting to compete in the

rodeo nationals since they qualified last summer.

  Today is the day and it just happens to be my birthday!

They swept all the events last summer!

  Looking around at some of these teams for

nationals I think they might give my boys a run

for their money! Winners get boots ~ cowboy hats ~ buckles! 

Lol. We are by no means cowboys, BUT I think they

 sure would make handsome ones!

 

 

They didn't win, but they had a lot of fun.

 

 

 

 

No birthday of mine would be complete

with out setting up our Christmas Tree.

OSU

 OSU had a great Football Season this year.

We were really excited about going

to our first game.

 

I think Cody was the

most excited!

 

He spends most of the game

looking for James through the binoculars.
