When Jade goes "messy" in the potty, he (and us) are rewarded with an ice cream cone. A couple of weekends ago, while Jake's family was visiting (cousin Shawn is shown), Jade went messy and we ALL got to have ice cream cones. Jade felt so important since his little (okay BIG) act got us all a treat.

These two are becoming quite the little team. They are playing so good together. They are like partners in crime though. When things start to get quiet, Jake and I are on gaurd since that usually means they are doing something they shouldn't. But for the most part, they are angels. We really couldn't have asked for better kids. We are so blessed to have them in our lives. They keep things fun and keep us young and on our toes.

Men's Basketball has started. Jake is in full-blown basketball mode now. That means he eats, breathes, and dreams BASKETBALL. He puts his whole heart into what he does with the team. I am so proud of his dedication and hard work. He is the most attractive to me when he is either playing with our kids or is coaching on the basketball court. The team is doing great this season! Their record so far is 8-4. I will keep you all updated on their progress.

Since Jake was going to be on the road with the team for Thanksgiving, we decided to cook our own Thanksgiving dinner the sunday before. Well, we kinda cheated. We BBQ-ed turkey fillets instead. And it was my first time making homemade rolls (for any of you who really know me, you know I can't bake) and I totally burned them! But Jake and Jade made yummy mashed potatoes! Hooray for that. And then I warmed up a can of gravy. I know, I am lame. I really need to learn how to cook. But at the end of day, I felt very thankful for everything I have. I have a VERY handsome husband who is supportive, loyal, and great to his family. I have a energetic, big-hearted, and optimistic little boy who makes me feel like a million bucks. And I have a beautiful little princess who is so much like me it's crazy! We are two peas in a pod. And I love being with her and telling stories about our day.

We went to the Light Parade in Ephraim with our friends, the Dixons.

Hey Heather. I love reading your posts. Your kiddies are so cute. Jadin looks so much like Jake and Skye looks so much like you. You're too cute with your rolls. I'm sure they were still yummy. Hope you have a great holiday season. Take care.
