Lights? Tree? Are You Sure?

This morning I learned a few things.  1. Having the teenagers and the nine year old put the lights on the tree may not go to smoothly.  2.  Maybe Sunday morning isn't the best time for this activity.  3.  Divine intervention helps.  The tree turned out great and there weren't any major mishaps!

Thanksgiving 2008

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving at my parent's home in Springville.  Even though we started the day with football,  the teenagers and a few adults played again while waiting for dinner.  There were 24 of us, all of our family except for Tanner and Kerry's family.  We missed them greatly!  We played games, visited and napped until late in the evening.  It was all a Thanksgiving should be.  I am thankful that my blessings include an extraordinary family!

Turkey Bowl 2008

This  year the Old Men won yet again!  Too bad young men!  There is always next year!  The women got to play a little bit this year too!

Don't Forget

Don't forget that Austin's play opens on Thursday at 7:00 at Payson High School!  It runs Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday!  You'll miss out if you don't make it!

The Zip LIne at The Dreaded Grove

Do you see the fear in Jamie's  face?  That's because she wasn't the chicken.  That was me.  I even said a swear word as ground under my feet started to move.  That is McKenzie at the top waiting to go!

Happy Halloween

So these are the three Ewell children celebrating Halloween.  The costumes were awesome.  We didn't have a trunk or treat so we got to have trick or treaters.  It was fun to see all the cute neighborhood kids.  Robbie is the only one who went trick or treating.  Austin and Erik went to a party and I took McKenzie to a Haunted House with some of her friends.  Jamie came with me.  Our neighbor gave us the tickets.  When we got there we saw him and he sent us to ride the zip line.  It was awesome!  Scary,but awesome!  Thanks Jamie for protecting us all!
