Thanksgiving

Everett's first Thanksgiving! We drove to California to visit John's Grandparents and family in Gilroy! We had to delay our starting time a little because of the BLIZZARD in Utah, not storm, BLIZZARD. Yikes. We made it though, and Thanksgiving day was BEAUTIFUL!!!! We held it at the church because our group was so big, somewhere around 40 people! We made green bean casserole, and the spread of food was impressive to say the least! It was super fun having it at the church, plenty of room to run around, we play Poison (A basketball game) and BUNCO! I even won a prize! ;) Thanks Jess! It was SO fun!

It was a Sunny Thanksgiving day, cold, but sunny and beautiful! I have so much to be thankful for, especially for the health and love of my little family

Aunt Jan had these pilgrim hats, and we couldn't resist dressing up the babies, and I couldn't choose which picture was the cutest, all such funny and cute expressions!

He was screaming/laughing/waving his hands with excitement throughout this little shoot...funny kid

I adore the look on Charlottes face, her perfect little lips, such a pretty baby!!! It was fun to hang with these gals more!

This one (Below) is my favorite...Everett looks like he's getting ready to hip his hat to the little lady ;) CA-YUTE!

His Turkey Bib and Thanksgiving onesie I found thrifting! The onesie was brand spankin new with the tags on it and everything!

We didn't get any pics of the whole group feasting, LAME! If it wasn't for Jess and Rory swiping my camera and taking pics with it, I wouldn't even have this one of Jess and Sadie!

Okay, Everett kept eating his hands, slobbering all over himself and getting cold, see his red face? So at Walmart I had to trap him in my jacket to keep his hands and face warm...silly kid!

SISTEY'S

Another fun part of the trip was to visit with Grandpa Lynn and Grandma Jean, Everett met them for the first time, it was so nice to catch up!

We had to leave early on Saturday instead of Sunday to try and beat another storm. It was scary driving through the night with terrible weather, none of us were able to get much rest. We made it home at about 10:30 am Sunday, safe and sound...then we all crashed!

This is Everett at grandma's house, we just told him he was going to have to spend another 16 hours in his carseat...he hates that thing!!! okay, that wasn't his reaction, but this is a pretty funny face right?

Off the charts...

Woah. Time needs to SLOW DOWN. Everett is four months old! He is getting to be so much fun (Not that he ever wasn't, but now he's so interactive ;0)

When I took him to the doctor for his 4 month well child check up, he was OFF THE CHART for his height. He is 27 inches long, weighs 15.7 lbs (70th percentile) and his head (don't recall the measurement) also in the 70th percentile. He is LOOOOOONG! His pediatrician is so impressed with his huge feet and hands, and his length.

Everett has acquired some new skills...DROOLING, a whole lot, ROLLING OVER, just from front to back, and GABBING back and forth, almost like having a conversation ;) It's so cute. And GRABBING, he loves grabbing the dangling toys from his toy bar, and he grabs his hands and feet. He also sings along and coo's at church and home when we sing...he gets really excited a lot and flaps his arms and legs so fast, it looks like he's trying to make a snow angel. He is so smiley all the time, especially in the morning! He loves putting anything he can grab into his mouth and marking it with his slobber.

This face is his latest trick, the bottom lip sucked in, it's so hilarious. I love it!
Pushing up from his tummy, he is on his way down to roll over, I could NOT get him to stay propped up like this, he just wanted to roll over every time! And when he did, he was so pleased with himself, the very first picture at the top is the second he rolls over, he is so pleased with himself, even though I was fussing at him for rolling over before I could get the shot I wanted!

He looks like he's pounding his fist, trying to convince you of something...
