Thanksgiving happenings

We sure have been busy! The week started off with Jake and I taking the girls and our kids to the peanuts movie. I loved it and thought the story was adorable. Emma is now all about Charlie Brown and snoopy she was so excited to find other movies on tv. 

Emma had a couple visits from a special lady! Saturday at 1 am she came in our room so excited and started to tell us that she was in bed wiggling her tooth and that it came out and is the tooth fairy coming? And so many more fun things. It took Jake and I a second to realized what was going on. She was so cute and so excited to tell us the tooth right next to it was loose now also! She just bounced right back to bed! So Saturday night the tooth fairy came, whoooo hooo! Sunday night at my dads house her tooth was really loose and she wanted to use her money to go to build a bear to build the prettiest reindeer ;) so I pulled her second tooth right out! This lucky lady had two nights in a row she was visited by the tooth fairy. I love her little excitement.

 On Saturday dad, Jake, Madi, Vernon, Taliah, Charlotte and I all went to see the mocking jay part two! I love spending time with my family it really is the best!

Noah is just being cute and being two. He is a pretty happy baby, loves to be big and copy all of us. He talks amazing and we love our little parrot. He loves cheese, snacks on it like popcorn or something. He is the best sharer and so sweet. He definitely has his moments but they don't last long at least. :) 

Benjamin had a thanksgiving program where they sang songs and told the story of the mayflower. He even had is own part and did absolutely perfect with his lines! I love his smile and the joy he brings. Noah was so cute and sat really well clapping and trying to sing a long with the class. 

For thanksgiving dad and Jake decided to fry up some turkeys. Yes, they did two so we could have left overs for sandwiches. They were excellent I've never been a huge fan of turkey but these were amazing! We all ate so much, isn't that the point.. Haha. We got spoiled with dads chocolate chip cookies and Taliah and I made sugar cookies.

We brought out games and played them. The hit with us adults was the old school bop it. My mom got it for us one year when we were kids! I was the proud high scorer of the game until Madi came over and beat me! The men all fought valiently but to no avail. The real comp is between Madi and I and I will get high scorer again! Hahaha love you all. 

We ended the week at the movies again with the good dinosaur. It was so cute! We laughed out loud, we cried we laughed and we cried some more. The animation was beautiful and the characters adorable. It is definitely on the favorites list now. Such a great movie and headed to papas house afterwards for some hot tub swimming! :)

We missed mom, Kylee, Taylor and Jordan, we are glad they got to be together though. We are all so grateful for Kylee and Jordan's health. I am so grateful that our family grew over the week and that we are all so close and can laugh and have fun with one another. I am grateful for the gospel in our lives that makes it so we can all be sealed together forever. I love all our family and we are so blessed with all we have. This year I really want to try harder to live more in the moment appreciating all the little things and having joy in our lives! I hope everyone else had a great thanksgiving too.

Jordan Taylor Funk

Yay! My nephew is here!!!! He was born November 22 at 10 am. He was 7lbs 13oz and 21 inches long. He has blonde hair that is too cute, it is enough that you can put it in a little faux hawk and it hangs over is shirt collar in the back! Almost hair cut worthy ;) 

Kylee's middle name is Jordan and of course Taylor's first name; so this is the perfect name for this little boy. Kylee is so cute and has already decked him out in little Jordan outfits, socks and hats!

My mom got to go to Chicago to help out with kylees recovery and with cute Jordan. Kylee did great and had a lot of pain to deal with. She is loving being a mom now. The cute family is all back at home as Kylee tries to recover. Roxy met Jordan and they got it all on tape, we just love them! Lucky for us we get updates all day long with the cutest photos of this baby! I love seeing as many pictures as I can and we all love face timing to be able to share this sweet boy. He is so dang cute and looks a little like Benjamin when he was a baby. Jordan makes the cutest noises and faces. We have already got to enjoy smiles, little grumpy faces, yawns, and just peace. When we face time it's as if he knows he is talking to us, he will make faces and squeaks. I can't wait till I get to hold his little boy. He will be so spoiled when they get here and it couldn't come sooner! Congratulations Kylee and Taylo on the sweetest boy. We are so grateful they are home and healthy, now just to be here! Love you all!  

Trick or treat, smell my feet

This year the kids thought that phrase was HILARIOUS.... They kept making up different songs to go along with it and would Sing them over and over! We went trick or treating in a neighborhood by DeeDees house and it is so much fun. This is the second year we have gone over there. These houses all go full out decorating. There is a street where one house does the whole front of a pirate ship with a beach of treasure and haunted porch and the houses next to it all do little pirate ships too. Multiple houses go spiderweb crazy and one house has movies with multiple big spiders that fall on you and a lady trapped in a spider web screaming and talking. There were so many fun houses we all enjoyed so much. We couldn't keep up with Benjamin, Emma and Olivia and little Noah wanted to carry his candy bag so bad even though it kept getting heavy. He dragged it behind him as he went to each house wanting to be just like his big brother and sister. Emma looked in her bag after each house for a fun dip and sadly didn't get one so grandma DeeDee said she would find one for her. :) Noah loved that he had unlimited candy he could go through. Half way through we met up with Jeff, and the kids and Kayla and her sister and kids. We loved kylers costume. He was in all black with a lighted stick figure on the clothes. As soon as he got there benjamin was glued to his side! Uncle Jeff our redneck hillbilly with a wig and jumpsuit :) Emma got spoiled and he pulled her and he girls on their wagon. The kids had so much fun. We didn't even go the full neighborhood and had been there almost 2 hours!! The kids fell asleep in the car and didn't even go through candy when we got home just went straight to bed. Yes they were really that exhausted. We had a great Halloween night, thanks everyone!
